Upper and lower left: my paternal and maternal grandparents, respectively; middle: my parents; right: me!
Here's the story. Once upon a time, my paternal grandfather (Equinox), the town drunk, got so smashed that he stumbled into a mare in a field nearby and spontaneously married her. They had several wonderful children, one of which is my father, an elf (Ia-En). He inherited his pointy elf ears from his mother. Meanwhile, my maternal grandfather, a fugitive from an asylum and carrying rabies, met a punk escaped convict chick. They didn't quite get married, but did produce one child, my mother (Ani DiFranco). She inherited her rebelliousness and affinity for funky hair colours from her parents.
My father met my mother one day in the country, where he was attempting to conjure up spells and she was wondering what colour to dye her hair next. They fell in love, married, and had one child: me! Thus, my lineage accounts for MY love of funky hair colours (and horses), my rebelliousness, and my creativity (read: mental instability).
