#my friend and I have developed the head canon? au? of The real Elendira giving her dna / dying for knives for test tube baby Elendira

[millions-dykes]

I've been thinking a lot about Elendira and why she's Like That™ in Tristamp and my current theory is that she's kept that young on Purpose.

Either her biology is unstable as an hybrid and Conrad fears her developing potentially deadly mutations when she grows older, or they are keeping her as child because if she's already THAT strong at her age, she could very well become a danger to him down the line. Maybe knives also doesn't want her to grow up and somehow end up like his brother. There's many possibilities that, I think, are interesting to explore.
