Raised in a village of elves that did not make themselves known to humans, Mary has seen many of the major developments that have taken place for humankind and thought herself above it.<br/><br/>Her family's maiden name is Io (after "some human culture" that her ancestors admired the stories of), and the clan that she hails from, mainly settled in Spain, are well-known for supporting relations between Elves and Demons - at least, the more refined and less feral breeds - for supplemental abilities. They are a controversial clan among elves, and are most easily recognized as the only branch of elf that considers red eyes a typical and attractive feature. Hair and skin color and type vary - and it's very likely that any elf/demon mix can be traced back to this particular clan. It does not take more than a few demons to strengthen the gene pool, however, and only in a groups does the demonic population even match that of the Elven.<br/><br/>Marilessë has silver hair and pale red eyes. She's getting old, but she goes through the trouble of using magic to make her appear a lot younger, as she likes her appearance to match her husbands (who, as a demon, does not show age as easily). She's very professional, enjoys getting her work done and especially loves doing work that directly benefits other beings - hence her spinning and fabric company. Even her fun loving side is a bit stiff, but she does have hobbies, etc. Little does Dev know, her mother was once more wild in behavior, more unruly; but such things are to be left in childhood, she feels, and there is no use in going so far to squander the rest of her time being childish.<br/><br/>She is elitist, as that was how she was raised, and does not abide by company that she considers less than appropriately defined. Knowledge of etiquette and proper manners (as in formal social manners) is a minimal requirement. Wealth (though she wouldn't openly admit it) is also something that she considers important, but not always a priority in terms of judging. Field of occupation is a factor (and lack thereof is never a good thing, neither is a questionable field). Blood is another factor - when she mentions this, it is understood by her husband (and not very many others) that she is referring to not the purity of the person's lineage (which is not of any particular concern to her). Rather, she is referring to the person's background in terms of behavior, the situations that they are used to encountering. A person who, for example, has been abused or has previously been a slave would be what she refers to as a person "bad blood". It does not affect how she feels about them as a person - sometimes refined individuals have darker pasts - however, she feels that people are followed by the situations they've been involved in, regardless if they've conquered those situations.<br/><br/>She is quite strict about those requirements (particularly manners), and is known for scrutinizing anyone that her sons bring home - though she's harsher with Dev. Mary is quite on the fence when it comes to Deveraux's behavior, namely because she feels that is too close to the behavior of those with "bad blood" to her liking. Dev was not abused as a child (at least, not more than being teased about his wings) and it perplexes her to no end that despite having grown into a responsible man, he still continues to live a very ...unorthodox life. <br/><br/>The only woman she has met that she liked was Sarah. Mary loves her granddaughters, and to this day feels that Deveraux made a terrible decision in not marrying Sarah. She was also extremely disappointed to have Sarah introduced as his wife only to find out that it was not documented.<br/><br/>Other than this one bittersweet achievement, Mary can sometimes be quite cold to Dev. She does not hate her child, but is disappointed in many of the choices that he's made, particularly about his sexuality and his treatment of women. It goes against what she was always taught, and she is a strong proprietor for monogamy. Sometimes she feels as though Dev may be possessed, or being influenced by some infernal being - they seem so different. But there are many things that Dev does/qualities that he possesses that balance her feelings out. Deveraux is wonderful at spinning, something that her second son, Jean-Danielle, is terrible at. Dev also excels at mannerisms and hospitality. He's very charming, and aside from his streak as a sexual deviant he is nearly everything that she sought to see in her offspring.<br/><br/>It is part of the reason why she is so disappointed.</div></div><br/><div align="center">(http://img706.imageshack.us/img706/1834/eredjonla.png)<br/><br/><strong><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 18pt;"><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: Brush Script MT;">Eredjon (Jon) Manost Dixon</span></span></strong></div><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide</div><div class="spoiler_body">Dev's father, sporting pretty long blond hair and Deveraux's trademark blue eyes. It is from him that Deveraux gets his outgoing and positive personality as well as his charm and gift of gab. He's a demon, but average (which is still much more powerful than Dev), about 827 years old, and naturally looks as young as a 35 year old (to his wife's envy). His animal form, for shits and giggles, is an Arctic fox, although he has trained to surpass the average physical strength of the animal for it to be more effective. He's a fun-lover, also like Dev, and it was him that instilled in Dev that he should explore his interests and fancies. <br/><br/>Eredjon is a demon born on a ship, interestingly enough. Although his biological ethnicity is Québécois, he was raised in France and considers himself French and nothing else. He's found himself to be skilled with ice-related magics due to his connection with water. He met Marilessë while she was visiting friends in France and the two fell in love almost immediately. Jon appreciated a woman that wouldn't tolerate his antics and could whip him into shape (while still being hard to get!). Mary does, after all, have a fun side (that is rarely seen by anyone but him), and he appreciates being trusted with a side of her that very few still-living beings have seen. The two get along quite well, in their own way.<br/><br/>Although there are places that Deveraux falls short in his eyes (particularly magical endeavors) he tends to cut his son a bit more slack, especially with him being on his own. He doesn't agree with Deveraux's sexual preference personally, but feels that everyone has their own "thing" and Deveraux is no different - to this effect, he thinks Mary is too difficult with Dev. Most of all, he respects that Deveraux is mostly comfortable with who he is. <br/><br/>On a separate note, he has begun to feel more comfortable with Deveraux's propensity for homosexuality, as he met Draiton Ieshitah in person, and thought he was a delightful fellow. He made a good impression and at this point - he is less concerned with the number of partners that Deveraux has had, and more with the quality of person that Deveraux surrounds himself with.</div></div><br/><div align="center">(http://img703.imageshack.us/img703/5085/verala.png)<br/><br/><strong><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 18pt;"><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: Brush Script MT;">Jean-Danielle Veraphadan Daeron Dixon</span></span></strong></div><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide</div><div class="spoiler_body">Dev's younger brother, by nearly 170 years or so, making him almost 65 - still a teen as far as his parents are concerned. He has short white hair and red eyes, like their mother. He calls Dev "Kiri", a nickname based on Deveraux's middle name, and as a joke Dev calls him, "Vera", which upsets him greatly because it's a woman's name.<br/><br/>He practices Kendo, an ancient Japanese art for swordplay, and he gets along well with Sadame because of this, even though it is probably the only similarity they have. He hates spinning, which is the family business, which disappoints his mother. It's the only thing that she sees Vera as being inferior to Dev in, as Deveraux is brilliant at the wheel.<br/><br/>He's slightly misogynistic, and as such isn't a fan of homosexuality or transgenders in general. He doesn't believe in polyamory or polygamy, either (despite being promiscuous), but has previously been "amazed" at Dev's propensity for "juggling" more than one partner at once. When speaking to Dev on the phone he's much more condescending about his sexuality.<br/><br/>He's a bit cold in personality, even when he's not trying to be, as he takes after his mother in attitude. It's part of what makes it difficult for him to keep long-term relationships with women. His grooming has made him capable of expressing appropriate manners toward women, which is a plus in his book. However, once he starts speaking his mind it becomes apparent that he's of a much gruffer personality type.<br/><br/>Jean has a spot of envy for Dev in terms of how many women his older brother is able to "pull", as he's said, and a bit of rivalry has spurned for it. Be that as it may, the fondness for women is the thing that Jean actually shares with Deveraux, and the two typically go out to "have a good time" while visiting each other. <br/><br/>It's an odd relationship, but despite this mix of feelings the two brothers have managed to establish that they care for each other.</div></div></div></div><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Family with his First Wife</div><div class="spoiler_body"><div align="center">(http://img191.imageshack.us/img191/2953/sarahla.png)<br/><br/><strong><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 18pt;"><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: Brush Script MT;">Sarah</span></span></strong></div><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide</div><div class="spoiler_body">The mother of Deveraux's two children, Sarah is a water sprite. <br/><br/>The two met in 2007, nearly a decade after Deveraux met Jade for the first time. They were a part of a small sex circle together for quite sometime (with five other members), but they did not enter into a serious relationship until decades later, after a long absence and return.<br/><br/>She and Deveraux dated for nearly 19 years, and considered themselves married for 15 of them. Marie and Cielle are the products of the first three years of that union. Having two children and raising them with Dev made her realize that she was getting older and she indeed want to settle down and have a permanent relationship with only one person. Deveraux had no trouble settling down with Sarah for the duration of their children's core upbringing, but it was quite easy to tell that Deveraux did not plan on being monogamous afterward. She and Deveraux don't have any hard feelings between them, although she does wish, in part, that Deveraux would settle down as well. She's aware of Deveraux's previous children and is one of the only people (aside from Sadame, and perhaps his father) who has he has spoken to intimately about his past children.</div></div><br/><div align="center">(http://img688.imageshack.us/img688/9629/marielau.png)<br/><br/><strong><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 18pt;"><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: Brush Script MT;">Marie Cireteliel Lona Dixon</span></span></strong>/center]<br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide</div><div class="spoiler_body">One of Deveraux's still living children. Half demon, half water sprite. She's only about 29. She has hair that's silver at the top and becomes blue near the ends, a perfect blend of mother and father (that being Dev). She also has blue eyes, reflective of both parents.<br/><br/>She's not very fond of Deveraux at all, despite seeing him often and him being kind to her during her upbringing. She used to be very attached to Deveraux, but the more she learned about him as a person when she grew older, the less she wanted to know and wanted to spend time with him. She mostly resents him because there's no good reason as to why Deveraux didn't marry her mother, so that they could be a happy family. <br/><br/>She hates everything about him - his sexuality (she's personally irked by homosexuality because of him, which is one of the things that separates her from her sister), the people he dates, the fact that he has slaves, that he a demon. Marie feels that everything that her father has involved himself in are simply more terrible decisions that stopped her parents from being together. In this she and her grandmother Marilessë agree completely, and after this was established the two became very close.<br/><br/>Marie does, however, realize that he's wealthy and feels entitled to his wealth as one of his children - and therefore has no trouble asking him for help with anything, even now that she's an adult. <br/><br/>Excelling at water and ice magic, she teaches at a school for children gifted with magical abilities.

She's the quieter of the three children. Quite alert, Ivy is always looking around her, always grabbing at things and nearly always squirming and trying to crawl. She cries loudly when she wants something and more so, when she feels lonely. Her favorite toy is a small plush green dragon, and she can amuse herself for hours with a rattle. She's not fond of water and baths are a struggle with her if she's not distracted by toys. Ivy also becomes fussy if she's picked up for too long, and is the least dependent out of the three. Although she gets along well with Inaria, she tends to ignore Isaac altogether and become upset when he's getting attention.</div></div><br/><div align="center">(http://img806.imageshack.us/img806/717/inariala.png)<br/><br/><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 18pt;"><strong><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: Brush Script MT;">Inaria Saerima Vanya Dixon</span></strong></span></div><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide</div><div class="spoiler_body">The middle child, Inaria, is rather quiet, although she becomes much more enthusiastic when she needs something.

Her feline ears are smaller and harder to notice in her fluffy hair, but her tail matches, a pale tip at the end. Her eyes are blue, but with an interesting addition - her iris features pink in the design of a teardrop cross, against the blue. Inaria's favorite toy is a stuffed unicorn. She and Ivy play friendly with each other, and when Isaac is unhappy she tries to stay by him, too. Inaria keeps to herself most of the time, unless she's approached.

He wants to be held nearly all of the time, and hates being left unattended. Sometimes he's quelled if Inaria is playing with him or lying next to him, but other times that simply isn't enough. He doesn't like pacifiers and instead would rather chew on his favorite toy: a ring of plastic keys that have jingly bells on the inside. Shaking them keeps him distracted and happy for as long as you keep it up.</div></div></div></div>
