Von Strunkle Family Tree Gen 1-10

(Click for larger picture)


The Shylife has been going for 9 generations so far. It all started with founder Kitty Von Strunkle, she met her husband Kip Mitchell at the consignment store and she worked hard to win his heart. He didn't turn up for their wedding and made Kitty stay over at his house every night! But eventually they were married and went on to have four beautiful children, Jason, twins Sophie and Chloe and Zachary.

Jason was crowned heir of generation two and found happiness with the lovely Carly Simms! They had six children: twins Tyler and Toby, Jesse, Zoey, Jack and Darryl.

Jack won the title of generation three heir and got off to a rocky start with his other half, Dayna Lawrence, when he cheated on her before they were married. But as he was about to confess he noticed she was heavily pregnant and married her on the spot. Their four boys were Milo, Rex, West and Xander.

Milo was the heir of generation four and married his high school sweetheart, Dawn Duvalle! Together they had four children: Delta, Jonas, Anya and River. They were eternally faithful to each other and lived well into their hundreds!

River became the first heiress since founder Kitty, and reigned supreme over generation five. Like her grandfather before her, Riv was unfortunate enough to have her head turned from her high school boyfriend, Jamal, to her newly humanised IF Vince! Their relationship was a disaster leading to a child out of wedlock and River left holding the baby! Jamal was the one to tell her that Vince was also unfaithful (and seemingly bi-sexual) and won back her heart. As well as her daughter Lacey by Vince, River had three more children with her true love, Jamal: Micah, Harper and Seth.

Lacey was voted heiress of generation six, she and her husband Gino had six children: Spencer, Cody, twins Anais and Athena, Heath and lastly little Willow.

Cody was voted generation seven heir, he married Tia Hickman and got a job as a magician. Together they had four children: Mason, Darcy, Jared and Sienna! Cody and Tia's marriage was one of the best in the entire legacy having ups and downs in the oddest of ways (fleeing vampires and Tia becoming a fairy in her elderhood) and after finding potions as elders under their Christmas tree, became young adults once again and Tia later gave birth to their fifth child, Elaina!

Jared was voted the eighth generation heir and had a rough start, almost being killed by a vampire who turned his sweetheart, Aleisha Danes, he and the family fled Hidden Springs for Starlight Shores. Jared and Aleisha eventually married after a very romantic proposal on the beach, against the family vow of getting involved with vampires the couple had twin girls, Anjelica and Lillith shortly followed by little brother Dominic. Jared loved Aleisha so much that he acquired an elixir to turn her human again, not long after that Noah came along, their first human baby. They weren't finished there and finally had baby Tristan. They too were given young again potions and now have two more children, Scarlette and Maxwell!

And now Lillith has been crowned generation nine heiress! She married Quinn O'Hara and they had Elliot, followed by Saul, then Miles and then Caleb. Lil craved a daughter so much and was disappointed when her fourth baby turned out to be a boy despite eating watermelons by the truck load! When her parents drank their young again potions and moved out, Lil and Quinny finally had their baby girl...two in fact, Luna and Kylie completed their brood.

Miles has become heir of generation ten. After falling in love with Fiona Graves as a teen he vowed to marry her when he was old enough, she agreed to marry him when he was mature enough. Eventually they did marry and soon had their first child together, Letha. Letha was the image of her mother with her father's eyes and Fiona longed to give her a brother or sister. Not long after having their first child, baby number two was on the way and Beau was born, followed by Faith. Will they have any more kiddies or does this complete their brood? Who knows!
