I'm well aware of the difference between Paternal and Maternal genetics and how each has an almost immeasurable amount of variables when creating an offspring.



I, like everyone else, am fully aware that Erma is the spitting image of her mother, Samara (I finally remembered her name), Powers included.



IF we are speaking of PURE Supernatural Genetics, then it would SOLELY be Samara's Genetics that play a role in her "monster" behavior. (Although I will concede that Samara's genetics do in fact play a primary role in Erma's monster-like qualities)



However, when I was speaking about the Paternal Side, I was speaking more along the lines of how Erma and Emily's behavior is "monstrous", if you will.



It's safe to say that Erma and Emily's mothers are NOT related by blood (Although, BJSinc has yet to confirm either possibility of that), and given Emily's chaotic nature (You could chalk that up to any child that age, but I've never seen ANY get to THAT degree) and that Emily is one of the few things that genuinely frightens Erma, the father's (Both Erma's and Emily's) genetics would have to play a key role here.



Given that Erma's father and his brother, Erma's Uncle, are full bloodied brothers and Emily is her first cousin, it can be safe to say that her father's genetics may have indeed had something to do with the "Monster" characteristics of both Erma and Emily.
