Re: Shi Death; is an only child, born and raised in the state of New York. Her upbringing was done by a hardened, BAMF Italian man who heads a mob and a theatrical, hysterical mother of Greek and Russian blood who still, surprisingly, sings for the public and hasn't given it up. Death generally speaks Italian to her father, finding her father best can express himself in his native language. With her mother depends on the woman herself but it often loud and/or dramatically done. Religion wasn't strong but respected considering her father's Roman Catholic roots. It was always constantly colourful at home, complete with false threats, fainting and fighting of all degrees. Her father sent her to an all-girls school to avoid trouble with boys but apparently he didn't get the memo that Catholic schoolgirls aren't saints. This was mainly where Death experimented for a time. But Death actually likes being at home. It's nice to run a gambling den and send people into debt and despair but there is something fascinating about having a front-row seat to two people grappling at one another with teeth and nails as the clock ticks by for them. And they haven't split (as her father doesn't believe in divorce and her mother knows she couldn't survive on her own). Though there was (and still is) some expectation for her to...reproduce for the family business but she comfortably dodged that bullet by willing to raise one of her cousins' children. The idea of being pregnant, with a life growing inside her may be just too bizarre for her to handle (and she never really took it well in her past lives). Death also lets her mother pretty much do whatever with her own place when it comes to redecoration and even with her coming and going.
Lilith; is the fourth child and second daughter to a French-American father and mother of German and Swedish blood (German born). Because of her mother, she speaks German but her French isn't advanced as her father's French was not perfect. On her father's side of things, she is a second cousin to Hermes (her father and his mother being cousins) and is a first cousin to Odr (her father and his mother being siblings). She is also related to Agravaine as an in-law through his second wife [being worked on!]. Her parents' marriage was a third marriage for her father and a first for her mother though the woman would go on to marry again after their divorced (when she was four) and her father would marry once more, taking those vows to his deathbed. I'll say here that her mother had other children during her marriages following the one with Lilith's father but likely only one or two more children. Not in the excess she had with Lilith's father. Her father likely had children before his marriage to Lilith's mother but possibly only one during his fourth marriage. Religion was not a big issue in the family and, though most of her full siblings were born overseas (she in France), everyone was raised in the States. They did travel decently enough but the family did not always have great luck with money and so none expected an amazing inheritance or major help if they got into huge financial trouble. They all managed to find work one way or another. Lilith ended up getting knocked up around eighteen, gave birth by the end of the year by someone undefined as of yet. Lucille, therefore, has been mostly raised by her, sometimes by her sister (who she is close to) or mother. She trusts only women to mind her daughter, finding that male influence may ruin her somehow.
