The Britannian Family...

[thomasvye.livejournal.com]

Since Episode 5 introduced new cast, I was having a look at the Code Geass website character page and indeed it has been quite updated.


Cordelia is 27, a blood type 0 Capricorn (like me, yay! Go Capricorns). She is aiming to become the governor of Area 11 after what happened to Clovis. I think it says she is accompanied by 3 underlings named Andreas Dalton, Gilbert, and GP Gilford; but I think this last two could also be one person called Gilbert GP Gilford; they're minions anyway. ;) So she's older than Clovis was.

Euphemia is a 16 year old Libran with Blood type B (Clovis is a Libra too). It says she's never been out on the political stage before, being a student, but she has an idealistic spirit.

So then...>:) Euphemia's younger than Lelouch and Suzaku. I thought it would be unusual for them to have her older than her obvious propective love interest (Suzaku).

However, this makes it ever more interesting with the parentage. Either she's a full sibling of Lelouch and Nanly, born to their mother, or she has a different mother. This has to mean the Emperor had two wives at the same time, or maybe more than two (I cannot see the royal titles being afforded to illegitamate children while there were legitamate offspring...). The site doesn't describe the girls relationship to each other or to the Princes, so I don't know yet who is fully related by blood to who...O_O

:D I love this family. lol!

(btw, the Emperor is apparently 62; it would seem that between becoming Emperor and taking over the world, he's managed to fit in quite a bit of baby making...O_O)

Somehow I doubt she's a full sibling, on the count that it looks like Britannia knows Lelouch and Nanaly went to Japan for whatever purpose, and it makes no sense for her not to be with them, considering she's older than Nanaly. And Cornelia looks like she's very fond of her in the ED---though that could happen if she IS involved with Marianne's death and feels guilty. But why not towards Nanaly? She's crippled.

I'm voting the Emperor being a very, very busy man, and waiting for the anime to prove me wrong. XD

Well...Clovis seemed to certainly think Lelouch was dead, and probably Nanaly too; so none of the other Princes or Princesses may even be aware they're still alive to be concerned about. Whatever faction is looking after them must have smuggled the children away pretty fast, I guess; you wonder if the Emperor knows the fate of his children or if he just believes they're dead too.

I get a 'lots of wives/consorts' vibe from this family. The 17th prince thing instantly made me think of Ling from Fullmetal Alchemist (where his father, the Emperor of Xing, had a wife from each clan (50 or so)).

Yes, possibly! It makes me think there might be a hierarchy amongst the wives, determining the status of their children (first wife's children are the first in line to succeed to the Imperial throne itself?). However, the children do seem to have the opportunity to become 'mini Emperors within the Empire' by becoming the governors of territories within the main Empire. :)

He thought Lelouch was dead in the conquest of Japan, not exactly in the terrorist attack on his mom. I thought that means someone knew Lelouch and Nanaly was there. After the occupation at the very least. I've been wondering if they actually has anything to do with why Britannia decides to invade Japan right then. It makes no sense for Britannia to endanger its royalty---though, granted, motherless, 17th at best in line royalty with chess genius as his only redeeming feature---unless it was pure random chance and they went "Oh shit" later. Events happening then were kind of confusing. Like, of all places, why did Lelouch go to Japan? A kid of ten, who sent him? Doesn't look like he lived in Japan before since Clovis invited him to go back 'home', and his name is French to boot.

As a side note, I'm a Libran. While being the same as Euphemia kind of saddens me as this point, go go Clovis! if he's not already dead that is
