#fun thing I want to add the original owlbeast but just don't know how.

Genetic Owlbeast Au

The Owl beast isn't a curse that Lilith gave her. It is a genetic curse that comes from their father's side

Which means Dell is an owlbeast along with his daughters.

Well as Lilith is a Ravenbeast and Eda an Owlbeast Dell is a Cardinalbeast 

Birdbeast family ♡

Lilith is the largest and Dell the smallest.

Anyways Gwen is a part of the beastkeeping coven still but not to cure them.

She just likes to work with beasts. 

Also you have to care for beasts to marry into a family of birdbeasts

Also it is less of a curse now in their eyes as generations have passed and they've gotten used to it.

They still unwillingly transform when stressed or upset but they also can transform on their own freewill

Partial transformations are also still a thing.

Literally the only thing that has changed is there is more freewill and there is no 2nd entity with them

Idk if this will be important as I just type my thoughts down but the Clawthornes are related to the Wittebanes

Caleb's wife was cursed with this birdbeast curse. She also was a Cardinalbeast.

Oh also I named his wife Ariane [Nickname Aria]

Why are the Clawthornes cursed? 

The wife's grandmother was a adventurer who got cursed on an adventure

So still not The Boiling Isles magic

-+-+- 

Okay so they all still have their own rooms and 'actual' beds to sleep in. Also to hang out with friends.

They do have a room with a very large nest for the whole family to cuddle in.

I do even mean when they are fully grown.

Eda and Lilith did make their own nests in their closets when they were 10.

Also Eda and Lilith [technically Dell too] as toddlers were adorable. Their owl forms were the size of German Shepherd puppies.

With the age difference Lilith was also slightly bigger. Then she became fully grown and 4× the size of Eda

Also toddler birdbeasts are not to be trusted as they are more acting on instincts then logical thoughts.

Lilith bit Eda for the first time when Eda was a week old. Lilith wasn't doing it to be mean she wanted to play.

This also means lots of cuddles between the sisters growing up.

The sisters as they grew up started to shift from being in mostly birdbeast form to witch form.

Also Lilith was the one who stayed in witch form more often because of her constant studying.

Dell whenever he could would play with his daughters in their beast forms. It was just good all around for everyone.

Dell also stays in witch form more often because he loves working with his hands and his job in general 

Dell sadly still got injured by Eda in an accident. Eda was chilling in her beast form and got spooked by him. Which caused her to take his eye out.

Don't worry he didn't let her run away. For long at least. He found her and hugged her and explained he is fine and when she tried to say she ruined his life he just told her she didn't.

It did take awhile for them to get better. She did injure her father but he also explained he is fine.

His hand is fine and he technically can still carve; he just needed to learn to compensate for a missing eye.

He still decided to plant Palisman trees though and craves normal wood trinkets.

Eda and Lilith have necklaces their dad made them. 

He also made Gwen a wooded flower for her. She loved it. She gave him a gem.

Gwen also loves her daughters. She loves brushing her fingers through their feathers. 

She also loves showing off her scars she has gotten from playing with her daughters as children.

As I said they bit a lot as kids. Also scratches. This is a recipe for small scars.

[I've owned German Shepherd puppies and let me tell you they bite a ton]

Gwen also wanted to dress them up in their beast forms but they kept getting destroyed. Especially by Eda. They just didn't like clothes in beast form as it is too restricting.

Gwen is an adventurer at heart and loves to tell her daughters of her adventures.

Also idk if I still want her to be anti potions as it seems like that derived from Eda's curse in canon but it would be funny if she still was anti potions.

Hmm yeah no she is Anti Potions

Dell isn't though so don't worry. This is something they argue on.

Dell and Gwen are the couple who sleep in separate rooms because they just cannot sleep in the same room.

Dell loves heavy blankets and the soft. Gwen loves thin blankets and neither soft nor rough. Also Gwen snores.

They can sleep in the nest because of her big, soft husband. Also no blankets needed.

Anyway the portal was still found by Eda when she ran away for awhile after hurting Dell. 

He told her if she was going to keep going into the human realm she should learn about it first.

She sighed about it but she did do it. That is because Lilith loves to learn so she just joined in on the human realm learning.

Oh Lilith and Edna's relationship is better than in canon at this point. Like she is still envious of Eda but she isn't cursing her sister because Eda just told her she wanted to join to be with her and that she was going to forfeit.

So yeah Lilth. Sibling issues are there. Mommy issues are still a thing. Daddy issues none… well a tiny bit.

Dell did a good job at showing his kids equal attention.

I am slightly bashing Gwen but it is kinda normal for parents to pick favorites. They just cannot show it like Gwen did in canon and here [even if ever so slightly less so] in this universe I made.

Eda also has mommy issues from her paying too much attention to her. 

You think an adventurer would understand the feeling of needing to be free but she didn't get the memo for Eda.

[Pausing 5/31/2022][Continued 6/1/2022]

Eda runs off to the human realm often and sometimes brings Lilith.

They get stuff from the human realm that they do bring back.

They [Mostly Lilith] went to the library to learn about human history 

That also means they have seen the Wittebanes Statues. Which you know are their ancestors in this au 

A thing I decided is that they know that 2 humans came and not just Philip. I know in canon they only knew Philip but I just don't want Caleb forgotten by his family.

Most people still think only one human came though. Gwen did too until she married into the family.

They have no real reason to keep it a secret. They just want too.

They do have pretty comprehensive knowledge of their family history.

So Lilith and Eda finding out their however many greats grandfather's history in a library was exciting. 

They knew he was human but to find more stuff on him even if a bit scattered.

Also more info on their however many greats uncle. Also excited to learn about their mostly unknown uncle.

Well until decades later when they find out he is Belos and is trying to kill their entire species. 

At least they can help Luz with their amazing knowledge of those 2 dudes who came to the Boiling Isles in the 1600s.

Moving on, Dell tried to teach his daughters how to crave. Both are great at carving. 

Lilith still joined the Emperor's Coven while Eda still joined no coven. Lily wouldn't betray her sister though.

Knowing how to crave is actually how they earned money in the human realm to buy anything they wanted too.

Eda does still steal. Mostly for fun but sometimes she and Lilith bird instincts just go "mine" so they just take it.

Lilith says she has control. Just know she is a big ol' liar. She has no control.

Also Eda got her wanting to care for everyone from Dell.

He also if he could would care for every child he could. Also animals which is why Gwen adores him.

Whenever King gets found Eda immediately adopts him compared to in canon where he decides he wants to be adopted into her family.

This is because she is closer with her family and trusts them.

She also explains to King much earlier than in canon that he is indeed a child. Just a tiny baby who may be the child of some type of powerful beast.

Eda just tells him he is still a tiny king. Also because he is the first grandchild he gets lots of everything.

This may be controversial but Eda and Raine are not married. Shock and Horror I know. 

It is just that they don't want to marry. They are still monogamous and love each other. Just they don't want marriage.

They still did a ceremony for the Clawthornes. Just for a get together.

Also, Raine is still going to be a coven head and it wouldn't be a great idea for them to be married to a very wanted criminal. 

Raine does know the family history also because again not married but still together forever.

However it took Eda forever to tell them. A decade and a half to tell her partner.

Love Eda but sometimes issues are just built in. She does get some help with her issues if you are wondering.

Lilith didn't inherit the need to adopt almost every living thing to be her child. She inherited it in the way to adopt niblings.

Eda is slightly amused and slightly worried

Stopping here for now.
