Lefevre Family

Family Motto or Something

History

Founded here in 1798, the Lefevre family exemplifies both 'old' and 'strange', with ties to France strong at the time of its arrival here in what was then the wilderness of barely-settled lands. Private even then, the family promptly began work on the establishment of a homestead far from any other home in town, alone, on the east bank of the Tam. Given that one of the founding members was a maple-bodied Woodheart, their choice to dwell on Maple Hill had very personal meaning...as did the relative nearness of, oh, Hedge Gates and particularly useful places of power.

Knowledge is power, and power is security: as a family, they are unusually focused upon the occult, and psychic gifts, or others, are nothing to be ashamed of. A child found flinging toys across the room with thought alone might be scolded for pelting his brother, but not for showing telekinesis. Granted, knowledge IS power. While time has shown that the insular Lefevres are a strange lot to the outside world, they keep their secrets to themselves. If a member chooses to show off, that is their choice, but betraying the gifts of other members will see them punished for it. More than most, they know exactly what they have to lose.

The family earns its living locally by selling maple syrup and various related goods, harvested from the dense forests about their hillside home. Members have scattered to the four winds to learn other trades, to study at universities, international or local, but they'll always have a home on Maple Hill. Unlike the Millers, the family can't afford to send all of its children to the brightest and best schools, so Lefevres either learn to apply themselves...or learn to tap a tree. Many members never leave Vermont at all.

More of a loose compound than a single house, the Lefevres strive to avoid cutting trees wherever possible. Their homestead is a sprawling collective of smaller buildings instead, the largest of which, built earliest, contains the family's most prized possession: books. Hundreds of them, thousands, their library is their treasure and their secret, added to over two hundred local years.
