Talk:Constance Kurita

Family tree

I don't understand how Florimel Kurita is said to be Constance's great-aunt. According to the character articles, Constance is the daughter of Marcus Kurita, who is the son of Florimel. That would make Florimel the grandmother of Constance. Tosta Dojen (talk) 10:41, 2 October 2020 (EDT)

I will look into it. From memory though I think both might be stated and this is actually an issue that harks back to the FASA days.--Dmon (talk) 14:41, 2 October 2020 (EDT)

Hum. Constance's supposed parents are listed as siblings in the House Kurita family tree. Looks like a FASA era factchecking snafu. Frabby (talk) 15:30, 2 October 2020 (EDT)

I've pulled out my copy of Heir to the Dragon. In chapter 4, Florimel is clearly said to be Constance's great-aunt. Throughout the book Marcus is repeatedly said to be Constance's father. Then in chapter 13, we have this line: "Should Marcus be implicated in the conspiracy, Takashi would have to order the deaths of his Aunt Florimel and Uncle Undell, Marcus's father, for they were of the previous generation. Having brought Marcus into existence, they were responsible for bringing treachery into the universe."

This seems to suggest that Florimel is Marcus's mother and Undell's wife, but it doesn't actually say that. What it says is consistent with Florimel being Undell's sister, as the family tree depicts, which would indeed make her Constance's great-aunt. It seems like the main discrepancy is with Marcus's parentage. BTW's article identifies Undell Kurita as a daughter of Hugai, which doesn't line up with the above.
