[uncaught-coolfish]

coolfish i want more bhwf lore please. sienna's generation was born during or just after the faunus war according to the broken timeline i believe (thanks eddy), what are some results of that? how was it living in mistral raising a kid with such crazy social upheaval? what actually was the faunus war and to what ends did it achieve when slavery still existed? Is this the timeline where the war was lost and ghira/ghira's parent just negotiated menagerie with losing conditions? did arun's dad die in the faunus war? was he just a simple tailor lost in crossfires and conflict? or, is this a timeline where there were just no conditions for the faunus rights revolution to have happened in the first place? but like if you dont want to answer any of this that is cool too, cant wait for chapter 4!

Ooh…… :3 thank you Anon. I’ll answer these as best as I can.

So while I’m not(???) going to touch upon it too much until a couple chapters ahead of us, the Revolution did prove successful as (I believe?) it was in canon. However, here, it only provided humanity to… continue their discrimination in more secretive means. Faunus could live anywhere but were they treated fairly? No, and often times one “misbehaving” (or, what a passerby human might simply consider “misbehavior”) would get sent to Menagarie just… without anything to help them survive, as with what happened in Chapter 2. They could get jobs, but only a handful of jobs. In Mistral, the trading district at the highest level banned Faunus altogether. Many of its population lived in the mid or lower levels, such as: Sienna and Arun. Religious freedom, I guess, until one’s celebration proved “too annoying” or “too weird” or “too discomforting” for a human and it’d be shut down.

And most notably regarding a… certain other character, while the use of Faunus labor was banned publicly… it was still very much in use, only secretly now. Much larger mining camps would be spread out across unpopulated lands where no one would be looking, and those enslaved would be Faunus kidnapped and smuggled straight from Menagerie. In fact, it was only in Chapter 3 when the world learned of these sort of facilities, but even then in that news segment in the chapter the slaves are referred to as simple “workers.”

But about ~Sienna~. She came from Menagerie in a fairly big family and when she met her husband, they married on the island and afterwards the two both moved to Mistral, having heard of “endless possibilities” for the two there. Of course, these were all complete lies. The two would find themselves living in a smaller home in the mid layers of the kingdom’s capital until Sienna had Arun.

There’s a specific reason why I leave a lot about Sienna’s first husband unclear and it’s that Arun did not know him very long, whatsoever. He died when the kid was young, and finally just getting this out of the way… he died in a very same way as the kid would, too.

and the rest is history. (aka: some stuff I might not wanna share because ~spoilers~) until chapter 2 of course.
