Anyone that's lived in Karaten, or simply had an interest in magic and spent some time poking around, might've heard of the Limwell family, whose home is located in the private sector of the city.
Fairly [tooltip2=talking millions, here]wealthy[/tooltip2] and well-versed in [tooltip2=nothing specific, everyone having their own preferences]magic[/tooltip2], [tooltip2=every member of the family has it]blonde hair[/tooltip2] and [tooltip2=Airi I and Lia being the only exceptions]green eyes[/tooltip2] running very strongly in their genes, the Limwells were mostly known for the charitable [tooltip2=charities, churches, schools, libraries]donations[/tooltip2] of Airi Carissa Limwell the first - a kind, blue-eyed woman that once kicked a Wyvern in half with her fist magic, or so it's been said - and as such, they [tooltip2=most of the repeated donations have stopped, but a few remain]haven't been too active[/tooltip2] following [tooltip2=rare whispers say it was violent]her sudden death[/tooltip2] in the year 283 at the age of 29, further details of which aren't known to the public.
Her identical twin sister, Heidi Asta Limwell - a much more stern and lesser known green-eyed woman, though an accomplished Aeromancer and acquainted with [tooltip2=council, guild, big libraries, stuff like that]many Karaten officials[/tooltip2] - is the [strike][tooltip2=now replaced by Airi II]current[/tooltip2][/strike] former head. Currently [strike]at the age of 70, though she looks to be in her mid forties - an unsurprising sight, being a rich magician - she opts to stay in her own home[/strike] dead, leaving the Limwell mansion [strike]unused and unoccupied; though men have occasionally been seen carrying boxes in and out of it in recent years for a certain green-eyed, black-haired [tooltip2=Airi II of course, not that they would know it]magus[/tooltip2][/strike] to be newly inhabited by the [tooltip2=Airi II]new head[/tooltip2]'s [tooltip2=Beth and Sayako]family[/tooltip2].
A few rumors float around about them in Kysei - mostly silly speculation about the [tooltip2=aliens, demons, just general off-the-wall stuff]head before last's death[/tooltip2] - though one rumor in particular seems like it may have some truth behind it, regarding the fact that it consists entirely of women. Some call it a [tooltip2=7 generations of females is not completely crazy]coincidence[/tooltip2], others say they're cursed, some may say it's a gift or a blessing, there are those who say it's simply a matter of luck, a rare few say they simply [tooltip2=very obviously not true]dress in drag[/tooltip2] and there are even [tooltip2=after all, nobody can be that perfect]people that would have you believe[/tooltip2] the males born to the family are simply disposed of - and, sure enough, even the oldest elves and vampires in the city can't remember there ever being a male Limwell, whether by birth or [tooltip2=lifelong boyfriends, sure, but never engaged]by marriage[/tooltip2].
Whether it's true or not can't be said for sure. Although the current head has a daughter, the previous head doesn't seem to have much interest in romance and Airi I was happily in love; though never married, and the man she was in love with [tooltip2=rumor is he had a pretty dangerous job, so not too surprising]seemingly disappeared[/tooltip2] five or six years before her death, and the family has shrunk over the years: only the former head and the daughter of Airi the first still remain.. Or so it was before Airi III's birth, anyway.
