Pavetta, the daughter of Calanthe and granddaughter of Adalia, inherited the main version of the Elder Blood from her mother. The Elder Blood is a rare and powerful gene that manifests in certain individuals within the royal line of Cintra. While Calanthe’s parents may not have possessed the full strength of this gene, she herself did, and she passed it down to her daughter Pavetta.
It is important to note that the Elder Blood is not solely determined by the immediate parents of an individual. It can skip generations and resurface unexpectedly, as we see in the case of Calanthe. Even though her parents may not have possessed the full strength of the Elder Blood, they still carried traces of it within their genetic makeup, which eventually combined in Calanthe to create the main version of the Elder Blood.
In genetics, it is possible for certain traits to lie dormant or be passed down through multiple generations before resurfacing. This is known as genetic recombination or recombination events. In the case of Calanthe, it seems that a recombination event occurred, bringing together the necessary genetic factors to activate the main version of the Elder Blood within her.
Pavetta, as the daughter of Calanthe, inherited this main version of the Elder Blood from her mother. It is worth noting that this inheritance is not a guarantee, as genetic traits can be passed down randomly, and not every child of a parent with the Elder Blood will necessarily possess it. However, in the case of Pavetta, the gene was passed down and activated within her.
Ultimately, Ciri, the granddaughter of Pavetta, also inherited the Elder Blood from her mother. This genetic lineage traces back to Calanthe, who carried the main version of the Elder Blood within her. The Elder Blood is a powerful and significant gene, and its presence in Ciri’s lineage plays a crucial role in her destiny and abilities.
Pavetta obtained the Elder Blood from her mother, Calanthe, who possessed the main version of this powerful gene. Despite her immediate parents potentially having less impressive genetic makeup, Calanthe’s lineage and the recombination of genetic factors allowed her to carry and pass down the Elder Blood to her daughter, who, in turn, passed it on to Ciri.
