Covingtons
From Alirpg
The Covingtons are the upper-crust merchant family to which Rue and Rhodiola belong. They have made a reasonable fortune through a spice- and herb-selling trade company called, creatively, the Covington Tea Company. The Company's ships currently only go up and down the coast of Kamleon and to some ports in Jakkal, but the Covingtons are always looking into expansion.
In general, the Covingtons are an old-fashioned, well-mannered kind of people with a keen eye for business. They don't usually form close relationships amongst themselves, but they are all expected to work for the Company when they're old enough out of a sense of familial duty.
There are currently two shops in Centria owned by the Covingtons: one, which family members call the Store, is a large, busy store and the main place to buy Covington Tea Company goods; the other is called the Shop, and is a smaller, friendlier outlet with less of a selection, but better customer service.
The Covington family is headed by Rue's father, Robert Covington.

[edit] Random Facts
- All the Covington children had to take piano lessons. Rue actually liked them, but the others never quite got it. Ramson quit after three months.
- Rosemary's first word was "Papa", Ramson's was "Ball", Rue's was "No", and Rhodie's was "You".
