interesting potential concept, but do you think cooler would have a kid? aka more family for kuriza?

I do find this an interesting concept, even though in my personal lore package (which I would really love to link right now if Tumblr wouldn't be a pain in the arse) Cooler is already long dead after being accidentally slain by his brother, but I'll still being willing to tackle it with the POV that Cooler is still alive somewhere. If he were still alive, I'd expect some feuding... After all, Cooler should have some of Papa King Cold's inheritance.

Frieza and Cooler are still very icy (badum-tsh) towards each other, keeping to their respective circles of the universe, not wanting to cross paths unless absolutely necessary. They do meet up sometime later in Kuriza's youth... with a frosty reception. When Kuri hears in advance that they're seeing Uncle Cooler today, he is very curious about this family member he's never heard of. He was already planning to approach the situation with caution because of his shyness, but Frieza also has this insistence on hiding him during the visit, perhaps trying to avoid his older brother "corrupting" the boy or worse... see that he's softening a bit with an heir. However, the secret keeping doesn't last long, as Cooler has a kiddo of his own.

Don't know whether to do male or female for them, because if female, with the whole traditional empire/royalty stuff going on, it seems like female heirs wouldn't get much standing in the inheritance/succession by their principles (sadly). Either way, whether they're older or younger than Kuriza, there will still be some bickering between the two brothers over one of them "stealing" the other's idea of having a kid. For name, there's a lot of options, but I'd maybe be thinking something similar to Verglas might sound cool, assuming Cooler doesn't steal another idea from Frieza and do some sort of portmanteau.

While Cooler and Frieza "catch up" in their own semblance of civility, Kuri and cousin Ver actually get along pretty well. Pretty normal space playdate with a lot more beams and such than hanging out with Bulla on Earth. Ver is the taller of the two because, while King Cold's actual love favored Frieza, his height genes seem to take a liking to Cooler's side. No matter the age difference, Ver is the big cousin and that means they can very easily piggyback Kuriza once the growth spurts kick in. Verglas is also definitely the type to be the "cool cousin", the one to show you the secrets like how to draw the "cool s"... or whatever equivalent they have in space. I feel like if they have the "cool s" in the DB universe on Earth at least, Pan would definitely be the one to show it to Kuriza- and then he has something cool to show cousin Ver in exchange.

The two brothers believe that their kids will be bad influences on each other, mainly fueled by their bitterness at each other, but they're just cousins who want to hang out. Kuriza befriending the kids of his Papa's bitter rivals seems to be a weird theme. I might throw together some loose design concept of Verglas in Xenoverse later, but here's the headcanon facts at least.
