Fanon:Schweiger family
|
The Schweiger family ( Listen /ˈʃvaɪɡər/) is a family created by Karu Katerchen. In The Sims they originally consisted of only five members: Satinav and Ann with their three children Raoul, Deliah and Connor.
They appear throughout the whole Sims series and spin-off titles likeThe Sims Medieval. In most games they live in Autumn Falls[TS][TS2][TS3] and only marginally appear in other towns such as Windenburg[TS4].
The Schweigers are a mysterious family consisting of many unusual Sims. The inhabitants of Autumn Falls mostly avoid them, despite of the great part they play in the neighborhood. The majority of the family prefers to have little social contact with sims they don't know already.
Incidentally they resemble the Goth family in some respects. It's possible, that they may or may not be somehow related.
Origins
The origin of the Schweiger family dates back to the ancient medieval beginnings of Autumn Falls where Vanitas Swaiger was the monarch.
In The Sims,The Sims 2 and The Sims 3 there is an art gallery in honor of Frieda Schweiger, who is, along with her husband, the oldest Sim still appearing in the family tree of the Schweigers[TS2][TS3][TS4]. Her urn is currently located in a secret room of said art gallery. One says that a ghost of a starved, pale woman appears once in a while at night, where she tries to paint, but no color appears on the canvas.
Onomatology
Schweiger: Jewish-German nickname for a somewhat taciturn or 'deep' person. From the German word 'schweigen' meaning 'to be silent'.
Vanitas: Latin name that means 'emptiness'.
Frieda: Germanic name, orginally a feminine short form of names with 'frid' in it, meaning 'peace'.
Velvela: Feminine form of 'Velvel', meaning 'wolf' in Yiddish.
Samuel: From the Hebrew name 'שְׁמוּאֵל' (Shemu'el) which could mean either "name of God" or "God has heard".
Dorothy: English form of 'Dorothea', meaning 'gift of God'.
Kravitz: Jewish name meaning 'tailor' from Polish 'krawiec'.
Abigail: From the Hebrew name 'אֲבִיגָיִל' ('Avigayil) meaning 'my father is joy'.
Xavier: Derived from the Basque place name Etxeberria meaning 'the new house'.
Eve: From the Hebrew name 'חַוָּה' (Chawwah), meaning 'to breathe' or 'to live'.
Satinav: The name 'Vanitas' spelled backwards. Also the Divine of Time in the role-playing game 'The Dark Eye'.
Ann: 'Ann' is a form of the Latin female given name 'Anna'. This in turn is a representation of the Hebrew
'Hannah' or 'Hanani', meaning 'He has favoured me', the name of the mother of the prophet Samuel.
Raoul: 'Raoul' means something like 'mentor' or 'adviser'. Raul comes from the Germanic name Rad-Wulf and means 'mentor of warrior'.
Deliah: Means 'the one with the billowing hair' and 'the secondborn', which is very fitting, because Deliah is the secondborn child in the family.
Connor: 'Strong willed', 'wise' or 'Hound-lover', also from the Irish 'Coachuhhar', meaning 'high desire'.
