close enough. sol'rys' siblings.

merryn (eldest, deep dragon sorcerer, wizard), viera (second, firstborn daughter, deep dragon sorceress and cleric of lolth), inithra (third, secondborn daughter, cleric of lolth), alystra (fifth, thirdborn daughter, deep dragon sorceress and cleric of lolth).

notes:

innate sorcerous talent is seen as sign of favor from lolth, especially so in a daughter. their matron mother shares deep dragon ancestry as well as being a powerful sorceress and cleric, and their fathers would have been carefully considered in sharing draconic sorcery talents as well.

merryn has notably paler eyes than his siblings and his matron mother, and is taller than his younger brother. inithra is notably taller and broader than all of her siblings. alystra and sol'rys are on the smaller side.

same hairstyle to simulate that members of a noble house in menzoberranzan wear their hair similarly. sol'rys wears his hair down how he wants as a surface drow presenting himself with no apparent affiliation to a noble house.

merryn attended sorcere, the academy of wizardry. as well as being a skilled sorcerer he is an accomplished arcane caster.

viera, inithra, and alystra all attended arach-tinilith, the temple of lolth. daughters in menzoberranzan are not sent to study arcane magics. while viera and alystra possess innate magic, arcane study at sorcere is typically restricted to males while female drow are to become clerics; neither daughter is exception to this. nonetheless, both are powerful sorceresses. arach-tinilith does specially train clerics with innate magic. inithra's absence of magical talent was a little disappointing, but another cleric of lolth with no innate magic is still a cleric of lolth and therefore viable for a noble house's advancement.
