Description
My --YET AGAIN-- last-minute entry for 's Contest. This time EVEN MORE SO, since I spent a day waffling over whether or not my idea fit the prompt.

The theme for this month is "Settled Down," or about the PT characters with children and a family. Now, instead of focusing on the future like the description talks about, I took a look back at the past.

That's right folks. I present to you the Family Drosselmeyer (at least as I imagine them): Dieter the writer and his wife, Edith, with their three children Ulrich, Klaus, and Gitta.

(Dieter) Drosselmeyer's young design is heavily influenced by Fakir's, since he remarked on a similarity of features in episode 25. But I tried to preserve his manner and his eyes especially. I wanted to make him look... human, you know?

Edith's design is (of course!) based on Edel's, since I sort of pictured her as Edel's Original Model. I tried to make her look pretty but still enough like Edel to make the connection clear. She was a wealthy noble lady who loved Drosselmeyer, a poor author at the time. One day, her fiancé, whom she didn't love, died mysteriously; so she and Drosselmeyer got married and lived happily ever after... Until Edith discovers whose pen was responsible for this "sudden misfortune."

Ulrich, the one in the hat, is Drosselmeyer's eldest son. He grows up to betray Drosselmeyer to the Bookmen after he finds out the reason why his mother pined away in illness and died.

Klaus and Gitta are the twins, a boy and a girl respectively. Fakir is descended from Gitta, just in case it isn't obvious. They're pretty much just adorable.

....And if that doesn't follow the prompt, then... Um.... This is ARMADILLON! And... FREYA! Yes. It is them and their children. In the Future. Clearly.
