The Britannian Family...

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)

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. :)
