Gen 11

 *Note: This is meant to be historically accurate. Women just did not have a great time back then.*

Julia Hawthorne:
Born and died on the same day, as she was stillborn in 1520, the first daughter of Peter and Anabella Hawthorne.

Ealfware Hawthorne:
Born in 1522, Ealfware was the second daughter of this generation. She was despised by her father for being born female. Her life was short and ended in 1527 at the age of five, as her father prioritized her brother over her when it came to food. Her father blamed her for the death of her younger brother, claiming she stole a piece of bread out of hunger.

Emony Hawthorne:
Born in 1523, Emony lived only a few weeks before passing away. After Emony’s death, their father blamed Ealfware for wasting resources she supposedly didn’t deserve.

Joseph Hawthorne (Heir):
Joseph was the heir of this generation, born in 1524 as the elder twin. He was the only wanted child in the family and spent his childhood favored by his parents. He learned misogyny early from his father, continuing the family cycle of abuse. In 1550, he married Imeyna Birchard. A year later, he witnessed his father’s death from the sweating disease. Shortly afterward, his first son was born, marking the happiest moment of his life.

However, from that birth onward, his wife struggled to conceive for five years. In 1556, to Joseph’s disappointment, she gave birth to a daughter. His disappointment grew when female triplets followed in 1557. He never hid his disdain for his daughters and refused to provide for them. He passed away in 1570 at the age of 50, outliving three of his daughters. 

Dorothy Hawthorne:
Born in 1524, Dorothy was the unwanted twin who came into the world alongside Joseph. Her childhood was spent cleaning and cooking, always stepping aside so her brother could eat first. Her father showed no care for her and married her off in 1549 to Odric Blackmon.
With Odric, she had six children (Baldwin, Margery, Giffard, Avelina, Gonilda, and Walding), but three were stillborn or died as infants. Only her eldest son reached adulthood.
She passed away in 1558 at the age of 33.
