History
Elsbeth married a fellow Gryffite, Heinrich Schmidt, at the age of 25, and they had two children. However, their marriage was not a happy one, and they divorced ten years later. Elsbeth never remarried and focused instead on her fencing and her business.
Elsbeth and Heinrich had two children, a daughter named Sophia and a son named Ernst. Sophia was born in Berlin in 1595, while Ernst was born in Munich in 1598.
Sophia and Ernst struggled with their parents' unhappy marriage and eventual divorce. Sophia, being the eldest, was more aware of the tension in their household and often acted as a mediator between her parents. Ernst, on the other hand, was more withdrawn and struggled to express his emotions.
After the divorce, Sophia tried to maintain a relationship with both of her parents, but it was difficult due to their conflicting schedules and tension between them. Ernst, however, distanced himself from Elsbeth and remained closer to Heinrich.
Despite the challenges, both Sophia and Ernst were successful in their own right. Sophia became a prominent Gryffite priestess and scholar, while Ernst became a renowned mathematician. They both stayed in touch with each other and their parents, but the divorce did leave a lasting effect on their family dynamic.
