Family History

Rowena Ravenclaw was Rowena Bletchley before she married into the Ravenclaws. Suffice it to say that many a Bletchley are Ravenclaw alum.

Ascent

An advantageous marriage, a great deed, or heroism in a decisive battle/duel can all improve the fortunes of a family. If this occurs in the first historical event, it indicates that the family pure-blood status happened through marriage and or an act or deed that proved pure enough to be established as a Pure-Blood Family. Otherwise, ascent indicates that the family participated in some key historical event that improved their fortunes.

Treachery

This can be a suffering from or the actual committing of a treacherous act. In either case the event stains the family name. If it is a first event the family rose by means of some dark deed, possibly betraying another family to do so.

Favor

The family gained the favor of some powerful body. As a result, their fortunes improved and they climbed in standing. This favor might also result from a member becoming Minister for Magic or on the Wizengamot. If this is the first event, the family got in good with the higher powers enough that they were deemed pure enough to be considered Pure-Bloods.
