#lynette most relatable sibling (real)

[fictionkinfessions]

For canon deets:

Arlecchino: First off they were Non-Binary. Father was far more gentle with Lynette and I than one would expect. They had a penchant for choosing favorites- In every little thing they could- They even had favorite dishes within each Hearth. They truly were an actual parent for Lynette and I, of course through legal adoption, but in behavior as well. For the other members of the hearth Father, while addressed as a parent, was far more like a teacher or boss. Father was typically hard to read, and rarely had much tone within their voice, but they loved to tease me about many things- Especially my love life, just as any parent would. Father also loved to participate in my magic act. The others thought they were just humoring me, but they would genuinely be excited to participate. I think it was mostly because they loved to bewilder the others, rather than a love of the tricks. But it was fun every single time. They were highly protective, and even went to speak to Wriothesley about our relationship before I could even say no. Lynette would always patch them up after battle while they were in fontaine, and despite their demeanor, they would always twitch when certain injuries were touched. We never mentioned it, but it reminded us they could indeed feel pain.

Fontaine hearth: While the hearth used family terms, we typically didnt see eachother as family. There would be groups of claimed family among us all, the small group still living in the fontaine hearth is an example. For my timeline the only ones living in the hearth building were Lynette and I, Freminet, and 5 of the girls who Father saved alongside Lynette. Of course Lynette and the other girls all grew very close, I was dragged in with them, and not a single one of us was going to make Freminet feel excluded. So we were all siblings.

Freminet specifically: He never cried for real. He was incapable of it, no matter how awful he felt. However he could fake cry on command. The most mischivious thing he would ever do is use it to manipulate our siblings into doing something. Get us to cave because he was one of the youngest, then immediately stop and smile and thank us. Worked every time =m="

Wriothesley: The cowlicks in his hair always caused people to think he had atavism. He told me he tried to tame them down when he was younger, but they'd always come back so he gave up. He eventually just grew used to people thinking he was an actual wolf, and when Sigewinne joined meropides staff she got him to dress up as one for any costume related holiday (she even made some up but dont tell him that, he looked adorable. (Neuvillette and I both were in on it- for different reasons- I wanting to see Wrio dressed up, and he wanting to see his daughter happy)). Wriothesley was extremely empathetic, and even after only hearing Lynette and I "talk robot" a few times, he tried to mimic it when I once shut down while visiting him. He was terrible at it, but I loved that he tried in the first place.

Aether: He was obsessed with fighting and the outdoors. He loved finding big monsters to fight and to scavange parts and pieces that would fall off of them. The institute loved him because he'd be down to test copellia and copellius whenever they needed. He gifted Lynette, Freminet, and I all what in game are our boss drops. When he found the giant crabs cave and brought back the shell piece for me, he immediately dragged me out of the city to go see it because it fucking ruled. Boys will be Boys and Boys Love Giant Pyro Crabs. Even though he had the teapot he much prefered camping, much to Paimons dismay. He also seemed to be a dirt magnet, even fresh out of a shower he seemed to still somehow have dirt on his face. My crush on him was very short lived but I can at least say he was one of my closest friends, and it did become a fun bit between us to flirt as a joke.

Finally Lynette: She didn't stand behind me because she was shy, it was because as children after our foster parent had my ears and tail removed, she became my new balance for a while. While as adults the issue was long solved, the habit remained. She was often scared that one day we would grow apart, and that often manifested as being upset that I was dating. I eventually got her to understand that my dating wouldnt seperate us- By setting her up on a few dates of her own. (Thank you for agreeing Charlotte) She wasn't great with money, often spending her weekly allowance all on snacks within a day or two, then begging me for mine- Her and Paimon were very similar in that aspect. All the cats of the hearth would slowly follow her around the building. She would sit down and the cats would all trickle into the room. Except for my dear Rosselind of course, she typically followed me.

haaah Sorry these ask game submissions ended up being rather long-
