Background and Family origins

Megumi Takanashi was born on the planet Hiron on February 22, 199779. Her father was Tatsuya Takanashi and her mother was Miyuki Takanashi II. Her parents were fourth cousins in the family, that coupled with extensive genetic modifications made the relative closeness of her parents a non-issue.

Childhood

Megumi was never very gifted with money or politics, but she was a gifted artist and musician. She has had extensive lessons and schooling through the entirety of her childhood. Just like almost every other child in the family, she wasn't very attached to her parents, instead being raised by specially designed androids and servants.

Adulthood

She willingly became an official member of the Family in 199787. The Family had a shortage of positions at the time, so most of the people in the family her age had no position. This lead to her just spending her time playing instruments and exploring some of the newly terraformed planets in the Takanashi Cluster.

Several years later, the family saw an opportunity to gain influence in the Empire of Mankind. Ashalon II Tarnos was looking for a spouse. The Family decided to contact him, leading to Kazuma Takanashi II (the current head of the Family) and Tarnos having a meeting. During this meeting, Megumi Takanashi and Rikka Takanashi IV were purposefully introduced to the Tarnos Emperor in an attempt to get him to notice them. He almost immediately took a liking to Megumi, while almost completely ignoring Rikka.

Marriage and Children

She was married to the Emperor in the year 199882 CE, and right on that same year, relocated to the Empire, alongside her husband.

She had 5 children with the Emperor: Erion, Claudia, Thardos, Alisha and Orena.

• Erion is the heir apparent and is married to the Sister of the Emperor of the Neo-Terran Intergalactic Hegemony.
• Claudia is married to the current Emperor of the Neo Terran Intergalactic Hegemony.
• Thardos is married to the current Sigurdssons daughter and heir apparent to the house.
• Alisha is married to the heir of the House Zykov, son of Fiona Zykov.
• Orena is still too young and is still single, although several proposals to marry her with either the Merinburgs, the Hayalons or the Etchalons have been proposed. However, engagement seems most likely with the Merinburgs.
