Some Sidony headcanons:

Full birth name is Zidonia Xiadis, but she’s been called Sidony for as long as she can remember. She actually doesn’t have a problem with her surname but she rarely sees a reason to use it, and Henrik has encouraged her from a young age to use Sidony as a mononym because of the circumstances surrounding her parents.

“Sid” is okay. She doesn’t give a damn about nicknames tbh.

She’s the bastard daughter of Lord Kossimir Variano and Lady Neomora Xiadis. Kossimir is the son of a baron and is a well-known philanderer in Cumberland and Neomora is Lord Henrik’s younger sister. Their affair spanned three months and was born purely from lust, and Sidony was conceived by accident. Kossimir never wanted anything to do with Sidony, and Neomora had a lot to lose from having a bastard child. She was betrothed to a different noble (a Duke this time) who promised a high sum to her family in exchange for her hand in marriage, which would provide the money needed to pay off the family’s accumulated debts. In order to preserve her betrothal, she hid her pregnancy and gave birth to Sidony in secret a months before the date of the wedding. Sidony was then left in Henrik’s care and remained so for the rest of her life.

Sidony knows who her parents are. She is in contact with her mother. Outwardly she holds no ill will towards her, but she has definitely repressed a bunch of negative emotions about her parentage.

FC is Marlo Hsieh. I’m going by her tarot and concept art for her appearance rather than what we got in-game because assets were limited and didn’t seem to fit what they had first envisioned for her. Also she just looks so much cooler lmao

Hair is long and curly af. It reaches her hips and is super thick. She washes it well but doesn’t do much else to try and control it; she likes it wild. She does tie the top layer into an updo with decorative hairpins for both the ~aesthetic~ and keeping most of it out of her face.

Body-wise she’s tall but outside of that she’s kind of tiny tbh. Not a lot of muscle or fat in her upper body at all. Most of her weight sits in/near her hips. She’s not very strong physically and doesn’t care to change that since she is not a physical fighter and she can have the dead do tasks for her. She does try to keep in good health for the sake of mobility but other than what’s needed to maintain her current fitness she’s not gonna be doing much training in terms of physicality.

Best magic skills are necromancy (and by extension spirit magic), ice magic, entropy, and force magic.

Uses a staff but is equally adept without one.

Despite popular belief, she doesn’t actually hate everything, she is just extremely emotionally repressed and doesn’t know how to cope with the feelings she experiences, therefore she tries her best to not experience feelings she isn’t accustomed to.

It may seem like she resents Henrik, and she does resent him to an extent for keeping her so restrained for most of her life, but that dude was basically her father and losing him was her first real heartbreak. She deeply regrets not being able to express to Henrik how thankful she truly was for him before he was killed and hates that their last interaction was her blowing up at him and running away to join the Inquisition, but Henrik knew that she cared and was proud of her anyway. He got in contact with Leliana, who sent reports of Sidony’s accomplishments to him, and he kept every single letter sent to him regarding Sidony in a box in his desk. Sidony finds the box of letters while going through her inheritance from him (since she DID inherit everything from him after his passing) and it gives her closure.

NAME. Lilith / Isabel Blum BIRTHDAY. ( ). AGE. Appears to be in her mid-twenties. BLOOD TYPE. O+. HEIGHT. 167cm. WEIGHT. 56kg.

LANGUAGES. German, Romanian &&. English. Can read Latin.

GENDER. Female. SEXUALITY. Pansexual. STATUS. Verse dependant.

OCCUPATION. Psychology student &&. part-time worker at The Royal Library.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION.

After being REINCARNATED for the second time, Lilith or this life’s given name, Isabela is puzzled at what to do. She was helped by Diavolo and led a good, happy life with the one she loved and both had died at old age, leaving a legacy behind. But now? Why was she brought into the world AGAIN with her previous’ lives memories? Furthermore, it’s not like she can openly mention this to ANYONE, now that she had landed in The Devildom. What kind of conflict could this cause? However, she plans to help her family from the sidelines, helping her descendant by acting as a guide.

BACKGROUND.

The female spent more time in the hospital than she spent outside due to her poor health ( it had been a risky pregnancy, her mother also had to spend a month or so afterwards ), however, her memories are INTACT since the very moment her eyes first opened and stared at the faces of the nurses and doctors that aided her birth. That alone was a signal that she, a newborn, was not normal. Learning to read at three, write half a year later since she didn’t have that much coordination with her small hands neither the strength required initially... Speaking followed before she turned four. As she grew older and asked too many questions, she was labeled a GENIUS but that wasn't it, that was plain WRONG. Her mother, a believer in the tarot and unspoken arts, brought her to a local witch to inquire further about the ( supposed ) ��wisdom her daughter had... only to find out that said daughter wasn’t even truly hers, or wasn’t even originally human. It was a mix of BITTERSWEET feelings but mostly UNDERSTANDING, as if Isabel parents had foreseen this turn of events. Despite that particular event, her parents only overprotected her even more.

VERSES.

MAIN VERSE.

TAG. 「 001 ／ Isabel 」

Exchange student, reincarnated as a human for the second time.

It hadn’t been easy to accept this. Isabel was aware that she had been chosen for this program but FEARED the actual answer, which is why she dodged the topic and refrained from asking, merely listening to Diavolo’s explanation and trying not to stare at her brother. However, she quickly realized that she wasn’t the only human as there were two more, one had been Solomon ( someone who she would avoid, he might be able to deduce who she is if they spend an hour within the same room ) and someone else who, at first glance, appeared normal but there was SOMETHING about them that made Isabel want to protect them, it was the similar sentiment she once had with her children. It raised the question, why was she drawn to them in the same manner she was drawn to her brothers? Isabel might have been Lilith once, but that life and this one were eons apart. For once, she would have loved to speak to her first life, but that’s when dreams are oversleeping came to play: lost memories returning, and the one hidden room she found.

NOTE. She is a sidekick of the MC.

SECOND VERSE.

TAG. 「 002 ／ Isabel 」

Pre-game, before The Celestial War.

Ever so INTRIGUED about humans and their ever so changing nature, it was an expected outcome for her to develop romantic feelings towards a single human, the man who was the start and end of many, many things.

THIRD VERSE.

TAG. 「 003 ／ Isabel 」

Post-war, reincarnated as a human. Married.

After escaping death’s fangs, Lilith was eternally grateful to her oldest brother Lucifer and his great sacrifice for her, even though God, their father, would no longer listen to them and most likely curse her lineage since He was MERCIFUL when needed and CRUEL when someone rebelled like they all had acted she was still found everyday before sunrise inside the Church, praying for the well-being of her siblings, begging to someone who wouldn’t listen for their happiness. As selfish as that sounded, and she should know... The peculiar marks on her back, the supposed birthmarks were actually the place were wings once had been. A reminder of who she had been and what she gave up. But, despite all that took place, Lilith not once felt such thing as regret. As a human, she could REINVENT herself and give meaning to her life, the meaning she wanted instead of being forced to follow a certain path with blinded eyes.

FORTH VERSE.

TAG. 「 004 ／ Isabel 」

Pre-game, reincarnated as a human for the second time.

After finishing highschool in an all-female academy, Isabel kept on pursuing higher education and chose to study PSYCHOLOGY in a catholic university, out of interest and curiosity. Her past-time might be trying to find the little information she could about who Lilith had been, but it was difficult when she had been erased. This was clearly upsetting and frustrated her to no end, but there was little she could do as a human with her magic sealed within her: humans, after all, tend to possess little to none, and whilst she had a great potential, it was locked and Isabel didn’t know the trigger to unlock that. There was also little to do when she didn’t know for sure how to contact the supernatural, or establish any type of connection with her siblings. So, for the time being, she was content with studying about the human mind.

FIFTH VERSE.

TAG. 「 005 ／ Isabel 」

Post-game, reincarnated as a human for the second time.

Instead of ever assisting RAD, she stays in the human world blissfully ignorant to the unfolding chaos and solutions taking place in The Devildom. In that time, she already took a couple of steps towards becoming a psychologist, four years in and only six to go, another four is she tries extremely hard.

EPHEMERAL: THE RESIDENTS OF THE DARK VERSE.

TAG. 「 Ephemeral ／ Isabel 」

Demon.

Tba.

ELDARYA VERSE.

TAG. 「 Eldarya ／ Isabel 」

Daemon, part of the Garde Eel.

Isabel had always disapproved of Leiftan due to his double-sided and vengeful nature ( which GRANTED she understood after losing her own family to the tragedy, the sacrifice for the BALANCE ) and vowed loyatly to Miiko until her last breath since the seven-tailed fox was their new leader both of this actions would lead her to be left bedridden UNTIL the Oracle woke at the arrival of the newest addition of Eldarya, a human named Erika who would be the savior or very well destroy the entity of what their world is.

meta re: figuring out how old bhadra is, and also when exactly bhalla got married and spawned a child lmao. (also some about the poor woman who had to be his wife.) under cut for length lol

hmm so i just saw a meta which puts bhadra as just a few months younger than mahendra which is interesting, and i can see that being possible given the two actors, but where i disagree is the part of this theory that implies bhalla is married when baahu and devasena are still together. i think if bhalla were to get married, baahu and devasena would have to be invited, just in terms of propriety. i think bhalla would actually enjoy the huge state ceremony that would serve to show how small devasena and baahu were now in contrast. i also think that at this point in the story, while baahu is still alive and married to devasena, bhalla has no interest in his own marriage -- he’s definitely not married (at least imo) at the time of their exile, and even if he wanted a child to compete for the throne at that point baahu’s kid would still be a good 6 months older regardless. i think bhadra must definitely be a few years younger than mahendra (who i believe is around 24ish years old.) bhalla’s obsession with devasena reads to me as about possession rather than a singleminded love or want to make her his real wife. the fact that we don’t see bhalla’s wife at all later makes me think that she’s either dead, or he never married and bhadra is bhalla’s child with a woman bhalla never married. i can see bhalla being obsessed with devasena his entire life, particularly as a transference of both his prior obsession with sivagami as the mother and queen ruler figure who in is mind loved baahu more, and also his obsession with baahu who was just better than bhalla at the things that bhalla wanted (primarily the easy adoration of the people and sivagami.) devasena, both as legal queen mother and clearly sivagami’s annointed heir at her last moments, and as baahu’s love, becomes the object of bhalla’s lifelong hatred and to me he tortures her daily as both substitute for sivagami and baahu who are dead and beyond his reach, and also for her own sake because let’s not underestimate devasena’s ability to piss off bhalla. i think on a surface level when he saw her picture he did feel lust, and so i think there is a very gross and terrible sexual aspect to his need to keep her in chains and under his grip. bhadra clearly states some very disgusting sexually tinged insults at devasena (calling her a whore multiple times) which is obviously a learned behavior from i assume bhalla and maybe biju. all this to say that for me, the main woman in bhalla’s life until his death is devasena. his last words are even to devasena, rather than mahendra who is the clear baahu replacement, and he tells her to join him on the pyre which is reminiscent of what this society demands of good warrior wives.

if bhalla was married, it was a grand alliance where she was probably fabulously wealthy and beautiful and the marriage was conducted with lots of pomp and circumstance in order to distract people from the fact that baahu and sivagami were dead alongside mahendra, and devasena was in chains in the city center. biju found the bride, sent the single most annoying proposal on earth, which implied invasion if she wasnt promptly sent having tied the mangalsutra to bhalla’s sword. definitely wealthy, may or may not have military importance. definitely a beautiful woman, a quiet woman with no personality who was promptly destroyed by having to live under a cruel sadistic man who was obsessed with his dead brother’s caged wife. if bhadra didnt seem so old that he could probably be only max a few years younger than mahendra i would say that bhalla’s wife probably takes a few years to concieve: bhalla would probably be the type of terrible man to treat a woman so badly she would miscarry. but bhadra is pretty close to mahendra’s age, so bhalla’s wife must have conceived pretty quickly. as he desperately needed an heir at the time bhalla, once she is pregnant, ignored her almost entirely except for once a week when he had her carried in a palanquin to see devasena so that he could gloat about his impending fatherhood. the poor woman would by this point be of a sickly sort, even if she had been healthy at the time of her marriage, have a difficult pregnancy exacerbated by her sheer terror at the thought of having anything less than an exceedingly strong male heir. ( i cant imagine biju or bhalla would be anything less than extremely direct about the consequences if the child was born with a disability, or god forbid was a girl.) her entire pregnancy would be one folk remedy after another guaranteed to produce a strong, healthy prince, all eight months after the pregnancy announced to the public an empire wide endeavour to ensure the safe arrival of the prince to be. thousands of ceremonies across the kingdoms would be funded, each sending her the fruits of their sacrifice for her to eat. everything about her day would be micromanaged from the time she woke, to the clothes she wore and the direction she faced when she slept. devasena, who spent the last three months of her own pregnancy exiled in a mining community and yet delivered a strong child, looks at the queen who somehow seems to be weakening every visit and wonders at the great gods’ irony.

one of my headcanons about the weird family strength is that these babies take a toll on their gestating mothers, and so only a particular type of woman is capable of surviving the pregnancy and birth -- sivagami and devasena are both of this type, and so they find their pregnancies relatively easy, and their births are normal and safe. you can either take this to be something physical or mental, or if you’re more into magical explanations for magical strength, its a (terrifying and horrible) way of the family line basically validating the queen: if she survives, she’s deserving of being queen mother. baahu’s mother and bhadra’s mother aren’t sivagami and devasena, though they’re probably wonderful women in their own right. the pregnancies sap them of their strength and nutrients (kind of like a leech), and when they give birth it is a long, drawn out process in which the babies had they not had the family strength would have died. the mothers both bleed out. the kingdom barely mourns the queen it barely had a chance to know -- if she becomes pregnant so quickly after marriage, bhalla would never have risked her out in public. instead, there is a massive celebration to anoint the heir to the empire, and bhalla invests heavily in propagating a narrative that has bhadra solely his son: his wife the queen is erased from the stories entirely, it is almost as if bhadra sprung straight from bhalla’s skull, the perfect son.

the queen’s death doesn’t break the alliance of her marriage, but it does downgrade them from slightly favored allies to just one with the rest -- there is a rumor that does not die no matter how hard they try that she died of a broken heart, that she grew so sickly in the heart of the empire despite the best of all medicine because she did not want to get better, or try to mother the son of her demon husband. (they are half right: the queen, delirious in her last moments, does not regret leaving her husband who happens to be the worst man she has ever met, nor does she regret leaving her disgusting father in law. she regrets somewhat having to leave devasena, whom the queen had nursed a slight hope of helping somewhat in the future when her place as the heir’s mother gave her a little more leverage. most of all, she regrets that she leaves her son, whom in her heart of hearts she had viciously wished to be a daughter, to the cruel mercies of his father. she was never going to be a strong woman in this palace, but even something might have been better than nothing, she thinks. just a little kindness, she hopes for someone to teach him, a little mercy. and then, thinking again of her burning hatred for her husband, whom she damns to all the hells that exist, the only true empress mahishmati has in 50 years dies. her first marriage anniversary will be in one month.)

the other option for bhadra’s mother imo is that she’s a favoured courtesan of bhalla. for this i think its definitely possible that their relationship can be established even before mahendra’s birth -- there’s no reason they aren’t together even prior to the kalakeyan war. this might be a way to make it easier for bhadra to be closer in age to mahendra, where bhalla, despite being consumed with his obsession for devasena continues to visit and the courtesan becomes pregnant (whether she plans this after reading the room and realizing bhalla has ruled for 3 years and has no heir is up to you.) there is obviously no pomp and circumstance here for the duration of the pregnancy, almost no one is aware of the child’s paternity. many kings have many natural born children, and bhalla initially believes that this child will be like any other though unique in a sense for himself because it will be his first child at all. then, he thinks, realizing that he isnt really inclined to marry but requires an heir. within this option there is the possibility for a queen who simply cannot give bhalla a child (maybe she miscarries, whether because of bhalla’s behavior or on purpose because she doesn’t want to have his child) or just ... bhalla doesnt want to get married because he’s obsessed with devasena. the courtesan is sent a message, and under the utmost secrecy is moved to a chamber in the inner palace where her every want is cared for in the hopes of her delivering a strong, male child. she is treated as a queen for the eight months and when she gives birth she probably survives. she is definitely not allowed to raise the child -- bhalla announces that bhadra is his heir, his natural born son, and does not announce the mother. bhadra is raised entirely as bhalla’s son, never allowed to question his mother’s identity or to meet her. either she remains within bhalla’s palace, as a continued object of his favor or is allowed to leave mahishmati after a vow of silence regarding bhardra’s parentage.

anyways, i’m putting bhadra at 20/21 to mahendra’s 24, and if bhalla gets married he probably thinks about it a year after baahu’s death, gets married a year after that, the queen dies within a year of the marriage (all a space of 3ish years.) option 2, it’s been 3 years and bhalla keeps pushing off thoughts of marriage and then opportunity falls into his lap. in general this is in line with my belief that bhalla at a base level does not care about any woman except for devasena, particularly after he has her in chains. before this, his sole object was the throne, and if he married at that point it would be a political alliance to make him a more favorable candidate for the crown for sure. needing to get married doesn’t occur to him (and to be fair doesnt seem to occur to baahu until he falls in love.) as king he’d only consider marriage in terms of getting an heir, and he wouldn’t care about the woman he married at all -- he’d treat her horribly, probably venting all the anger and frustration he cant with devasena because she lives in the cage which in a sense protects her from the worst physical/sexual abuse. the only respite his wife, another woman entirely under his control, would have is probably becoming pregnant. a favored courtesan, particularly one who had a relationship pre the whole devasena obsession, would have a different dynamic with him, especially since she’s technically “his’ but also not entirely in the way a wife would be. less abuse imo for sure, and the significantly less scrutiny and pinned hopes on her pregnancy results in her general good treatment rather than the exhausting micromanaging characteristic of a wife/queen.

both of these options basically result in bhalla and biju having total control on the raising of bhadra to be the Worst, and for bhadra’s identity to basically be “bhalla’s son” more than even regular princes who define themselves as their father’s sons. the woman is erased entirely from the narrative, and exists entirely to give bhalla an heir and then conveniently disappear, as distasteful as that is.

as usual, any other ideas/opinions/complete negations are welcome!! please comment or reply i’m really interested to see what you all think!!!

Some Sidony Headcanons

“Sid” is okay. She doesn’t give a damn about nicknames tbh.

Sidony knows who her parents are. She is in contact with her mother. Outwardly she holds no ill will towards her, but she has definitely repressed a bunch of negative emotions about her parentage.

Bisexual / Greyromantic with a STRONG lean towards women / fem-aligned people. There was a period where she fully identified as a lesbian but she’s found that she can be attracted to men / masc-aligned people, though it’s much more rare. Romantic attraction for her in general is also rare. She works better within sexual arrangements than she does romantic relationships as she is not typically open to exclusive romantic relationships unless a strong relationship has been built prior.

Best magic skills are necromancy (and by extension spirit magic), ice magic, entropy, and force magic.

Uses a staff but is equally adept without one.

Does not use blood magic, but not because she has anything against it from a moral standpoint. She simply does not need blood magic as she already has an expanse of spirits she can call upon without turning to demons, which she views as less worthwhile helpers due to their corrupted natures. (This is going by the typical Thedosian definitions of blood magic; the line is not so cut-and-dry and truly I only discount her as a blood mage because she does not use magic that involves actual blood, only contact with spirits.)
