headcanon . I have tended to be vague with Anri’s origins, as a reflection of her own experience. Her earliest years are shrouded in trauma, and her later years with undeath, leaving many of her memories fragmented and unreliable. It’s also true that part of her doesn’t want to guess, doesn’t want to know. It does not help her.

For transparency: I believe she was born to Rosaria. Her paternity is unprovable, but the truth is grim – Aldrich himself was her sire. This information may never be pertinent to her story, as the focus remains her quest, her resilience and her enduring kindness.

Ultimately, Anri cares less about her roots, and more about her end.

#this also means many of the children she knew were her full or half siblings #those who weren't corralled into the cathedral from outside #( which for a long time i felt she might be among )#i also lean towards the headcanon that rosaria is gwynevere #giving anri a touch of god blood #and explaining why the children were prime sustenance for aldrich #he ate to imbue the strength of his victims #what strength have they?#it's in their blood :')#anyway i'm off to lie in a dark room ( literally )#then i'll come back to update anri's bio #⚘ headcanon – this is the house that built me #cw: cannibalism
