#but again it is hard to hold lore from anything that isnt bb

Okay, so I still haven't beaten Elden Ring, let alone learning enough, but with DLC approaching let me get the family tree situation straight from what I gathered:

So, Marika was blessed as a demigod and married Godfrey, with whom she had children - twins Mohg and Morgott (that were hidden as shameful secret because they were Omens), possibly many children that were forgotten by now, and Godwyn, from whom Godrick descends, who ALSO has at least 7 'noble scions' who are most likely just his children (lmao got a gene of fucking a lot from Marika bfhdufjfkh)

But also at some point Marika was affected by the curse of giants (displays with very red hair) however this curse is male-exclusive, that caused a conflict and resulted in her sprouting a malesona, Radagon, who married Renalla and had children with her - Rykard, Ranni and Radahn. Radahn coincidentally was a fanboy of Godfrey, Ranni used night of black knives for her goals that also killed Godwyn's soul and her body, and Rykard allowed his pet snake to eat him becoming immortal and had uncountable snake-people children born between him and Daedicar amongst which was Rya who was surprisingly normal, but his legal wife was Tanith and she is adoptive mother of Rya.

But ALSO when Godfrey was declared cringe and fail and Godwyn was lost, Radagon divorced Rennala under excuse of becoming new husband of Marika, but actually the "two" had twin children from themselves - older Miquella and younger Malenia (she addresses Miquella as older brother in Japanese). It is only my interpretation why they are this way but what I think happened is: Miquella was born pure blessed since there was no normie human (like Godfrey) to combat Malenia's blessed genes, therefore it ensured he stopped aging before reaching puberty (so he forever stays 'pure', shining and at peak of energy - that couldn't happen with Marika who wasn't born blessed but was given it, so she was able to reach adulthood). However, this 'blessing' is more like a curse to be honest, like how if you a superhero got TOO much mutation instead of cool and fun superpowers it'd just ruin their body. But since the male side of the same entity was bearing a curse, there was no way for a perfect demigod child to be born, nor a person that didn't deserve the curse could get it, so that left a 'vacant' twin devoid of the golden blessing, and because she never was "protected" by it, that left her vulnerable for Scarlet Rot to settle in her as it's vessel. And she also asexually has 5 daughters because of this (or maybe even 6, if that flower with clothes set near it was secret 6th daughter that bloomed). And they were adopted by that guy in a shack.

...but ALSO, Godfrey had a relative, and Nepheli is his descendant, she is adopted by Gideon though.

Like, that's what I gathered from the situation yet. Correct me if I am wrong somewhere or missed something (...or don't, because I will probably enjoy finding what I missed by myself hahah).

Also, the only thing missing yet is children between Rennala and Godfrey it seems! This would be really cute though, such children would be related to everyone except Miquella and Malenia (though it'd still be crypto-relation because each side shares at least one parent with the twins)
