DW: Elsebeth (Faustin) Geiger (straight golden blond hair and blue-green eyes)(father a fletcher)(16)
Felix and Else live in the Holy Roman Empire where Felix is a scribe for one of the wealthy barons. Else's father is a renowned fletcher (makes arrows) who supplies militias throughout the empire. They grew up in the same city and began courting in their teens. They were just married--Felix having finished his apprenticeship and secured an income for the two of them. They are currently living on Felix's parents' estate with the rest of the family.
Year 1: Family Event: Attends a wedding/reunion
DH: Felix Geiger (straight golden blond hair and dark brown eyes)(scribe)(20)
DW: Elsebeth (Faustin) Geiger (straight golden blond hair and blue-green eyes)(housewife)(17)
Felix and Else were guests of honor at Felix's brother's wedding this year--a lavish affair with six days of feasting followed by a wedding ceremony that lasted an entire day.
Year 2: Family event: attend wedding/reunion
DH: Felix Geiger (straight golden blond hair and dark brown eyes)(scribe)(21)
DW: Elsebeth (Faustin) Geiger (straight golden blond hair and blue-green eyes)(housewife)(18)
The biggest happening this year for Felix and Else was that Else's younger sister got married. Rumors are beginning to grow about Felix and Else's lack of children--after all, they've been married two years, and haven't had a child yet!
Year 3: Community Event: famous knight
DH: Felix Geiger (straight golden blond hair and dark brown eyes)(scribe)(22)
DW: Elsebeth (Faustin) Geiger (straight golden blond hair and blue-green eyes)(housewife)(19)
The gossip mill had something else to talk about (other than Felix and Else's lack of children) for a few months when one of the famous knights, Sir Victor, came to town and started teaching the local children how to swordfight!
Year 4: Pet; 3 pets, all male, 2 dogs and a bird
DH: Felix Geiger (straight golden blond hair and dark brown eyes)(scribe)(23)
DW: Elsebeth (Faustin) Geiger (straight golden blond hair and blue-green eyes)(housewife)(20)
Dogs: Rex and Lux
Bird: Taube
This year, Felix and Else acquired some animals--Rex and Lux are stray dogs that followed Felix home one afternoon, while Taube is a grey morning dove that has taken to living in a tree outside Elsebeth's chambers.
Year 5: Family: an argument occurs
DH: Felix Geiger (straight golden blond hair and dark brown eyes)(scribe)(24)
DW: Elsebeth (Faustin) Geiger (straight golden blond hair and blue-green eyes)(housewife)(21)
Dogs: Rex and Lux
Bird: Taube
Felix and Else had a fight this year about...what else...children! After many accusations on both sides, Felix and Else made up, but both are still perplexed about their lack of children--especially since all of their married siblings have more than one child now.
Year 6: Child; fraternal twins, both boys
DH: Felix Geiger (straight golden blond hair and dark brown eyes)(scribe)(25)
DW: Elsebeth (Faustin) Geiger (straight golden blond hair and blue-green eyes)(housewife)(22)
DS/DS: Johannes Geiger (frizzy golden blond hair, blue-green eyes) and Jacob Geiger (straight golden blond hair, dark brown eyes)(0)
Dogs: Rex and Lux
Bird: Taube
After many childless years, Felix and Else felt vindicated when Else conceived this year--and not only conceived, but bore twins! They (and the community) consider the Geigers to be very lucky to have not one, but two healthy babies--and boys at that! Felix is now much more respected in the marketplace and Else has women coming to her asking how they too can bear twin boys for their husbands. In all the hustle and bustle of newborns, the dogs Rex and Lux were put back onto the street--they just couldn't handle the increased activity in the chambers.
Year 7: Child; boy
DH: Felix Geiger (straight golden blond hair and dark brown eyes)(scribe)(26)
DW: Elsebeth (Faustin) Geiger (straight golden blond hair and blue-green eyes)(housewife)(23)

DD/DD: Ketlin Geiger and Amalie Geiger (both: straight golden blond hair, dark brown eyes)(1)
Though Else has not gotten pregnant again, she and Felix took in a small boy left on their doorstep. He is about three years old, but Gabriel is bigger than he is, so they aren't exactly sure. He calls himself Matz, and no one is really sure where he came from--even the gossips in the town don't recognize him. Johannes and Jacob are happy to have another boy to play with, and Gabriel calls Matz his "new twin".

This year, Islana "brought home" a new brother one day. She and the other kids found him in the marketplace, looking lost and decided that Islana needed a twin also (after all, all the older kids have a "twin" except for Islana). While Felix and Else were upset at what the kids did, when an investigation revealed that Wilhelm was recently orphaned, they adopted him into the family.
