Traits passed from parent to child
A parent's trait can pass to a child through the "Like father, like son" events.
Each needs a living parent with the trait who is not the leader. It can fire on that parent's child in the line of succession at the listed age, with a 5% chance each turn. The child gets one of the three traits, picked at random among those the child can still gain. Trait 1 is always the parent's own trait. The "Mother's Disposition" and "Father's Disposition" Study Events are different: they pass on ratings, such as ±1 Charisma, not traits.
