My Family

The Llewellyns are one of the oldest known wizarding families in Wales, dating back to time before reckoning. We are an usually pure-blooded line, but have been known to marry outside the wizarding world, although for some reason, those liasons never seem to last.

My father's name is Gwydion Llewellyn. In Welsh legend, Gwydion was the god of enchantment, illusion, and magic. The mythical Gwydion was known as a great wizard and bard in northern Wales, and my father was also quite famous for his songcraft and magical abilities.
	My mother, Annwn Creiddylad, shares her name with the Gwragedd Annwn, Welsh water faeries who live in towns and villages beneath lakes. They have an innate aptitiude for all things medicinal, and my mother was of a similar nature, being well-versed in the healing arts. It was my mother who passed down to me the hereditary shock of white hair in our otherwise dark tresses. It has been rumoured that Rowena Ravenclaw herself had a streak of white similar to our own, but that has yet to be proven.
The most famous member of my family is my late brother Dai Llewellyn. Named after Dai Davies, goalkeeper of the aptly-named Welsh Wizards, a muggle football (soccer) team my father was most fond of, my brother Dai was the most sports-mad person I ever knew, excelling in Quidditch and many other non-magical sports.
