#;loyal friends (eiko fabullisnova)

[cornelianlute]

misc. headcanons & things i would like to keep stored here:

eiko uses garland like a christmas tree and even put presents under him one time. she's also drawn on his face. sarah thinks it's funny seeing garland wrapped up in actual garland and tinsel and ornaments hanging from the horns on his helmet.

sarah and eiko play music together and sarah teaches her how to play the lute.

eiko is the biggest supporter of redhime (sarah/garland) like she is with w.ol/sarah in woff. HOWEVER once she finds out garland kidnapped sarah, she is READY to throw those hands and sarah finds charming (and is a tad bit afraid of eiko) that a young girl like eiko is so willing to protect her. like this quote from labyrinth is so eiko about the entire situation. "well, what are we waiting for? let's get that rat who calls himself [garland]!" eiko would totally try to throw hands with garland too like this is totally her.

eiko would also be a better matchmaker for sarah than her parents if she has anything to say about it. 💀 sarah would probably have to stop her from yelling at her parents since they're royalty and eiko isn't, but she appreciates the thought all the same since she wants to marry whom she chooses and marry for love too even though she knows it will probably come down to p.olitics and s.ocial statuses.

sarah also continues her escapades into town in disguise in her commoner outfit with eiko when they have girl's days, and sarah is appreciative of it.

also building on this i feel like eiko would find a way to be friends with sarah's younger sister in ff1 and mia in sop. i could see them talking about how sarah's sister sees the warriors of light as brothers/family after they rescue her big sister and stuff like that. mAYBE shenanigans with her, eiko, and vivi. 😭🥺

sarah also enjoys eiko's company because she views her as a younger sister and eiko always helps to make things so lively in the castle and in cornelia.

since ff.9 has easter eggs and references to older ffs, through the collective n.omura-like brainstorming between me and jenny (@.ragingfists), we came to the conclusion that g.arnet and e.iko's relationship could/is potentially like sarah's with her younger sister. our n.omura-like reasoning is because g.arnet's real name is sarah, her mother is jayne (like sarah's mom) and we both feel that g.arnet and e.iko view each other like sisters. (it's been a while since ive played 9 all the way through so i'm unsure if this is actually confirmed about them in either 9 or dffoo.) other reasonings were because of w.off with castle cornelia being a summon (ragnarok (i think the particular summon is a ff.6 reference) like how alexandria castle in ff.9 is also a summon (alexander). e.iko also helps both sarah and g.arnet with awakening both summons.
