why did you just ignore my post

[Projeck37]

Well, you yelled at me about making a <18 character
I told you she's approaching 18
Also, we need differing ages, come on now.

[Twinwolf]

And this is why I made Lillian the age she is.

Young enough to ship with the older-teenagers, old enough to ship with the adults.

ShinaxBeor for team parents ship

Well, that'd certainly be a plot point, if you'd like to work with me, Elf

I mean, it makes sense, right?

THEORYCRAFTING:
- Freyja's implied to have been abused by her (step)mom or someone else.
- Adults around her wouldn't like her (enough to beat her or worse) if she's actually a bastard (the illegitimate child, not the asshole kind).
- Doubly so if Freyja's part-Burakani, so she's part non-human AND half-foreign.
- The only reason she has Frostwind inheritance is because her dad was a decent man and took responsibility, claiming Freyja as his own child through adoption (necessary to make her legitimate because she's a bastard rather than his actual heir).
- That would explain why Shina was so pissed off when someone killed Freyja despite knowing about resurrection; Freyja's her daughter, of course she'd be pissed. And why Ludmilla hated her; she knows the rumours that Freyja is part-foreigner/part-Burakani.
- This would also explain why she wants to protect Freyja so much; wouldn't a mother want to watch out for her kids?
- As for why she didn't stay; she's a foreign nonhuman who's already a pariah in her own society. The Frostwinds don't seem that nice, Freyja and her dad (according to this theory) aside. She had to leave for her and Freyja's safety. The hair can be explained by her dad rather than her mom giving the hair colour.
-This also explains at least some of how Shina knows about the north and gives her somewhere to be between the end of the Andou-Edo War and the present day.
- That would also explain why werewolves hate her so much; not just the Frostwind blood, but she's also part-cat

the one after that

@Elf:SO MUCH SENSE

[kj1225]

Well, there's a detail that throws it off, but that's for projeck to reveal/decide isn't as fun.

[Twinwolf]

I'd like to see the theorycrafting for Shina being Niamh's or Lillian's parent

[TheBiggerFish]

Me too, actually.

[Twinwolf]

Well Elf doesn't know any of Niamh's backstory, so you can't really see that.

[TheBiggerFish]

Bah.

[IamanElfCollaborator]

Niamh's a lot easier. Her backstory is almost literally nil. Just have her dad meet Shina, have bebbehs and then there, Niamh

As for Lillian:
- The produce woman loved Arlan dearly, but secretly couldn't concieve even as she wanted his child.
- She appealed to Shina, then in town at the time, and begged her to take her place in a bed trick. Shina, having a heart, agreed.
- An elaborate deception happens whereupon Shina is in hiding for months, carrying Arlan's child while Lillian's mother pretends to be pregnant with Lillian.
- When Lillian is born, Shina fulfils her side of the agreement and gives Lillian up for her pay, wishing her good luck.
- Years later, she sees her fully grown daughter and decides that she has to protect her no matter what.
- Again, her family traits are from the male rather than female line, so Lillian wouldn't resemble Shina that much.

I like this less than Freyja's. Too many logical hoops

[TheBiggerFish]

Niamh has both parents as native to her own culture though so...

[IamanElfCollaborator]

this is why backstory is nice to know
