=====Alexandros Margaritis===== | =====Alexandros Margaritis===== | ||
:Clio's father is a bright-eyed historian and a tad eccentric. | :Clio's father is a bright-eyed historian and a tad eccentric. He has collected many things from the past four centuries, including, but not limited to: arrowheads, coins, stamps, first-edition books, journals, fountain pens, letter openers, keys, buttons, and Polaroid cameras. Truthfully, these are very small collections usually consisting of no more than a dozen and a half objects, but Alexandros treasured them nonetheless and refused to get rid of anything he was collecting, much to his wife's chagrin. Clio and the rest of the children were always permitted to play with the curios whenever they liked. | ||
:Besides collecting, Alexandros spent much of his time in his private office, working. He loved his work, and would often tell stories that were actually rather boring. But the enthusiasm Alexandros had for his job was what inspired his children to go after what they wanted with all their hearts. | |||

She is much more serious and straight-laced than her husband. She acted as the voice of reason in the family, and was, for all intents and purposes, the boss. She was just as warm and caring as Alexandros, mind you, she just showed it less often, as her job was more exhausting and time-consuming (if you ask her). She was more inclined to think through things than go with her gut instinct, a penchant Clio displays only half the time. (She had always admired her mother for her ability to think clearly no matter the situation.) | ||
:Demetra chose the names for all of the Margaritis children, wanting to follow her family's tradition of naming offspring after Greek gods. This particularly suited her, as she and Alexandros both very much loved the old myths. They were constantly woven into bedtime stories and lectures. | |||
