Who is Jihli Aliapoh related to? / Any info on where she is from?

I can't seem to find any background information about Jihli Aliapoh other than she appeared in he previous event. Is she related to Khloe? I don't know :X

As far as I know, the Aliapohs are a large family in XIV because that was the surname of some very famous Mithra in XI it is a very old surname.

There are a bunch of NPCs with that surname so presumably it's just a common Moon Keeper name. Aside from Khloe and Zhloe we have no reason to think any of them are closely related (you'd think it would have come up in some event if Jihli and Leih were sisters or something.)

Was it not mentioned that they are cousins in last year's Hatching-tide event?

Was it? I don't remember honestly.

Ah yes, there is one more encounter we have yet to celebrate...
Yours and mine, Leih Aliapoh.
Some few days ago, I was cleaning out a storage closet and came across an old journal. It belonged to my mother, Mihli, a talented pratictioner of the healing arts.
In its pages she made mention of her sister, and the life her sibling led as a hunter in the depths of the Twelveswood.

LEIH ALIAPOH
You can't mean...

JIHLI ALIAPOH
My aunt was said to have given birth to a single daughter. The girl grew to be quite a handful, plain-spoken and proud, with a knack for the bow... I think you know her name.

LEIH ALIAPOH
Well, I'll be a spriggan's second cousin. And a first cousin to you, it seems! Now that is an unexpected wonder.

Though generally it seems that Aliapoh is just common enough that people don’t immediately assume they’re long-lost relatives because they share a surname.

I knew that name looked familar!

I know it's unlikely, but I wanna hear about brothers, either something similar to twins/brother and sister; or better yet a pair of brothers. It would be unique. And identical twin boys are the rarest, so it fits into the lore... kinda.

Being rare makes it fit into the lore?

One of those art imitates life scenarios. Since Male miqo'te are rare in general.

I take it Moonkeepers have pretty big families (big litters?) given that males are supposedly rare, and yet there's a naming convention to denote up to the 9th born male of a single mother...

Statistically, if you could have a 9th born male, he could have as many as 40 sisters.
