Aria + Arthur (of course XD)
so i feel like they may have other kids as well, but here're the twins!
Name: Ardghal Varmont Stafford (i feel like what their last name might be depends on whether or not marian's infidelity is ever discovered so ???? but yeah)
Gender: Male
General Appearance: Sporting his mother's coloring and a penchant for gleaming eyes from both parents, Ardghal generally keeps his hair at roughly shoulder length, showing off its natural less out of any particular vanity and more out of his generally distracted air, something which also accounts for his stubble and rather ill-kempt dress.
Personality: Like his parents and his sister alike, Ardghal inherited an adventurous nature, more often up a tree than with both feet planted firmly on the ground as a child. He also sports a keen mind and a general impatience for anything that brings him back to reality, preferring to contemplate the stars with his Aunt Eilia than to attend to any social gatherings or other such 'trivialities,' as he calls them, that his rank might tend to foist upon him. Still, Ardghal has a generous and valorous heart and, like both his parents, wants nothing more than to look out for the people who look to him, even if he doesn't always go about that in the most conventional manner...Charming and brilliant yet stubborn and arrogant, Ardghal always speaks his mind, a fact that has frequently gotten him into no end of trouble, and he doesn't believe in walking away from a risk when its gain is great, making for a somewhat chaotic person when brought altogether, but Ardghal is as determined as they come, and will stop at nothing to leave this world a little better than he found it!
Special Talents: Ardghal can be a somewhat chaotic and mischievous soul, but when he's feeling more contemplative, his favorite pastime is star-gazing and, endowed with an incredible memory and a passionate heart, he knows each of their trajectories and names and routes.
Who they like better: Aria
Who they take after more: Aria
Personal Head canon: When he's in his twenties, a wrong word to a particularly quarrelsome prince at court began a bit of an international accident for which he roundly refused to apologize for some time, (mostly rightly) convinced the other fellow was in the wrong. When he realized how horrified his mother was at the idea of another war, however, without a word Ardghal went to the other prince's tent and, employing all his charm and good humor, managed to not only dissuade the prince from his anger, but also transformed him into a friend for life.

Name: Saorlaith Varmont Stafford
Gender: Female
General Appearance: Boasting her father's coloring and her mother's bone structure, Saorlaith is a notedly lovely young woman. She appeares in two ways: the grace of the well-trimmed princess and the aspect bedraggled peasant. Fiercely proud of her home and heritage, yet also high-spirited and direct, Saorlaith knows how to present herself for company, but she prefers to don more durable threads for crashing around the countryside, toting her father's sword, Daybreak, as she is the only person who can persuade him to part with it.
Personality: Born with a questing, curious nature and an unflagging spirit, Aria dreams of adventure and fun, preferring to act almost the knight-errant to the proper princess, though she loves to sing and to dance a very great deal as well. Still, Saorlaith prefers the company of the common folk to her fellow nobles, considering them proud and false, and spends much of her time in the company of those 'beneath' her, traipsing through the countryside in search of fun and truth and justice. With an easy manner and a hardy laugh, Saorlaith knows how to put people at their ease and inspire loyalty, and she enjoys sorting out the problems of others however she can, often traveling incognito so as better to understand the struggles of the common folk, that she might better know how to mend their troubles when she returns to court.
Special Talents: Saorlaith was hand-trained with the sword by her father and is as redoubtable a warrior as any knight, though she was fortunate enough to grow up without a very great deal of need for these skills, something she considered a great shame as a child but grew to treasure as an adult.
Who they like better: Aria
Who they take after more: Arthur
Personal Head canon: Saorlaith is a bit of a practical joker, but her greatest passion is laughter. Nearly inseparable from her twin brother, sharing moments of joy with her family and loved ones means more to her than anything, and she dreams of being able to bring joy to everyone within her care!
