Figg-Gonzalez

This page explains the powers, history, ancestry and relationship of the Figgs and Gonzalez's. Reading this may clarify some of the other articles.

Who are the Figg's now?
Molly Figg was once married to James Weatherall, but he was killed and so she took back her maiden name. Before James died, though, Emma Figg was born. Molly's sister is Lauretta Johnson née Figg. Lauretta married Henry Johnson, and therefore no longer has the last name of Figg. Annie Johnson

Who are the Gonzalez's now?
Richard Gonzalez is really where this starts. He originally married Maria Lopez, who then became Maria Gonzalez. They had Selena Gonzalez. Later, Sierra Hawston forced Richard to divorce Maria and marry her instead (the reason will be explained below). Sierra kept her own last name, Hawston. Together those two had Zaine Gonzalez.

The History
There was once a girl with the last name of Figg. Lets call her the "Figg Goddess." So, she had a strong, good power that she was born with in place of her special ability. Around the same time, there was a boy who was born with an evil power (he still had a special ability, but it is not relevant what that was). Lets call him the "Gonzalez God." Perhaps one of their powers triggered the other to be created, no one knows. The Goddess's power was slightly stronger than the God's, and she had a certain resistance to his dark magic. But the boy chose not to use his dark powers and so there was never a reason for a fight of any kind. The God and Goddess each married an unknown person and had kids. It was discovered that the first born child in every generation would receive the dark magic if it was their parents that had it. So, the power was passed on, just as strong, to the God's son. The Goddess had many kids, including a girl that looked like her: red hair, blue eyes and freckles. This girl and the son of the God got married. This boy, like his father, decided to not use the bad powers. Those two had twins: a girl who looked like her mother and grandmother before her, and a boy like his father and grandfather before him. The boy was born minutes before his sister and therefore inherited the dark magic. Luckily the girl had inherited the Figg resistance to it, because this boy decided to use his dark magic. In that day girls took their mothers' last names and kept them even after they married, while the boys took their fathers'. So the girl went away and pretended she was not related to the boy, whom everyone came to fear. Both of them had kids and continued on the Figg and Gonzalez families.

Before the Figg Goddess died, she made a prophecy that her power would be seen again in a Figg when the dark Gonzalez magic was used at its most. As of the beginning of the book, this power has not yet been discovered.

The Current Gonzalez Situation
Now that the Figg and Gonzalez relationship and power are more clear, here are more details about what is currently going on with the Gonzalez's and Sierra Hawston.

So, as you know, Richard Gonzalez married Maria Gonzalez but was forced by Sierra Hawston to marry her instead. Let me explain why. Sierra Hawton was born with the special ability/talent to control one person completely. She is evil, and so she wanted to control Richard Gonzalez and gain power through him. Although Richard's powers were strong enough to break free from Sierra's if he really tried, she threatened to kill Maria (whom she had captive) if he did. So Richard became a fierce enemy to all good, completely against his will.

Although Sierra was evil, she knew that the good Figg power was stronger. She kept an eye on all of the Figgs, because she would stop controlling Richard and control the person with the Figg power in a second.
