Ewali's Family Tree

[Msasi]

For those of you who weren't aware, all three of Sunrise's original prides - Kivuli, Tyne and Kimondo - had bloodlines that could trace back to a lion named Ewali. Ewali was the founder of the Kivuli pride and it is his fault that the prides became so related (I'm kidding! Ewali, we still love you!).

The relations have become so many that Ewali's player began keeping track in a family tree. For those interested, the family tree can be found here: www.geocities.com/uziwa/efamily2.html

It's not /quite/ up to date.. but Ewali tends to update after cubbies are born, and since we're about to have a rush of cubs, I'm sure she'll get it updated all in good time and I'll make sure to post here (or maybe Ewali will herself) when that gets done. But it's fun to take a look at! So I hope y'all will take a gander at it from time to time.

[Aria]

Yep.

...We'll see how long it takes to get them assimilated.

[Msasi]

It actually is a VERY welcome burst of fresh blood. XD Enough so that finding unrelated mates and all won't be too difficult anymore. Hopefully. XD

[sytobi]

Oh, I know exactly how she'll react..
Something will end up getting removed from someone.

[Velaera]

That's quite a family wreath you have there. :3

[Ewali]

Hey guys, I updated this thing. Have fun.

[Unzumi]

I love looking through that. I think every single one of my lion character is related. I mean, every single one. Even Unz'... by mates, anyway. 'Amember, Ro'? *cackle*

Not that I mind. Just sayin'

[Msasi]

At one time, all of my lion characters were related too, Unz. XD Now they've gotten more diverse.. the only ones I have that are of Ewali's bloodline now are Undine, Khamisa, and Akase. Though Kiet is related by marriage, I guess.

[Aria]

All (or most) of mine have been related... pretty much since Day 1.

Mostly 'cause I get new chars when people're asking for cubs.

[Unzumi]

Ditto on the cub deal. I got asked to play a lot of Ewali grandchildren and jumped on the chance

Lesse, there's: Safihi I, Mbaraka, Tale, Marut, Dume, Seif, Unzumi (hehe), Mwanaharamu, Rhaxma, and Ausikifa.

Well, that's 8 dead, 2 alive. Nice track record.

Wow.. this family tree keeps expandin' itself. o.o I joined African Tails back in the 3rd Generation as Cubby Shahila (though for some reason she's listed in the 5th XD).. She was my first 'solid' character. When she was an adult she met up with Nishati and became his Queen. Tis Kinda weird to look at all the characters I have on that family tree now...

[glow=purple,2,300]Shahila I, Xian, Zephyros, Ramses, Saibh, Soonali, Shahila II, Reiko, Shiro (adoptive leopard son), Zafirah, Zimbabwe, Treowan, Tai II and Jamilah (though she's related by marriage).[/glow]

And surely there are a lot of unrelated characters not listed there.. but yeah. And yes, Annie.. Kiet is not related by blood.. but all his children will be! AND that's the [glow=orange,2,300]Great Circle of Inbreeding[/glow] for you. XD

Though, as Annie said.. I don't have many related characters either.. The only livin' ones are Xian, Shahila, Ramses, Saibh, Soonali and Treowan.. which might sound like a huge lot, but the only ones I use frequently from that list are Xian, Shahila and Saibh. XD

[Aria]

I'm not sure how Ewali's been counting generations.

[Yllan]

No clue, but both Nishati and Shahila are listed in the 5th generation... which would make them younger than Xian .. while they're older. They belong to the 3rd generation.. since they were of about the same age of Cairo and Feleti of Kivuli.

[Ewali]

I count generations by how they're related to Ewali, not by their age. Look at the 'Relation' column and you'll see what I mean.

Ugas was Ewali's son. Tau was Ugas' adopted son. Zahra was Tau's daughter and Nishati was Zahra's son. Therefore Nishati is Ewali's adopted great great grandson. Ewali is generation 1, and so Nishati is 5th.

Mates are listed in the same generation as their Ewali-related mate.

Blood-relation to Ewali overrules adopted relations, of course. And if someone of one generation mates with someone of the generation below them, they'll be listed in the generation above the highest generation Ewali-related parent.

Confusing, I know. >_> I hope that helps out some, though.

[Unzumi]

Yeah, I think only... Unzumi (obviously) and Safihi I aren't related by blood, but by mates in the case of Unz', and adoption in the case of 'Fihi (since her son, Mguu' (CLING!) was adopted by Ewali 'cause 'Fihi's all mean an' stuff)... Everyone else has some semblance of inbreeding mixup in there somewhere...

But, if you think about it, by now Ewali's blood is so diluted that it isn't too bad marrying into Kivuli, assuming, you know... Seif doesn't becomes mates with one of his nieces or another Kie/Ronan litter sister o.o;
