Complex families

To express complex families, you can use parents2 and children2. They will be drawn as dotted lines. Use this to express a different link, such as foster children or step parents.

families:
  - parents: [Ned, Catelyn]
    children: [Arya, Rickon, Bran, Sansa, Rob]
    children2: [Jon]

Expressing relationships

All properties in a Family are optional (but you have to define at least one). You can use these to show other types of relationships.

families:
  # These guys are having an affair of sorts
  - parents2: [Loras, Renly]

  # No need to show their parents in the family tree,
  # but we want them to show up as siblings.
  - children: [Danaerys, Viserys, Rhaegar]
