Anon asks are on again! Please be nice :)
kypha being annette's daughter is funny bc of how many times annette has gotten caught in various supports singing her funny songs... kypha now has a reason to dread singing in front of others (besides self-consciousness over her voice?) bc she inherited her mom's lyrical prowess 😂
Kypha as Annette's daughter would absolutely inherit her mother's 'talent' for lyrics! She knows her father compliments her mother's singing a lot, but just can't get past the sense of embarrassment that Annette seems to have.
I imagine this is compounded when Annette starts publishing her songs, Kypha might be asked to sing more regularly by people who want to know if Annette's voice has passed down; and she doesn't like that very much at all!
whydoihavetopickaname made a mockup of Annette!Kypha, and I think Kypha looks great with Annette's hair colour!
ok just to let people know, my account has been accidentally/ incorrectly reported for something and might be getting deleted. (The people who did it contacted me and were really lovely and apologetic) I’ll contact support people and stuff to see if the decision can be repealed. But if not, I’ll make an account on bluesky or something…

Here's the final third-in-command/ friendly opponent character's child unit:
Kypha Anne Fraldarius
Second Knight of Loog
"Though not as difficult as her father, Kypha has inherited Felix's... charm. She's aggressive and blunt, but efficient. If you need a job done quickly, I'd call her. Eshe tells me not to be abrasive with her - she's not as tough emotionally as she might like me to think." - Varvara
Likes: Flying, Freedom, Praise, Drinking, Singing
Dislikes: Singing in front of people, Criticism, Loneliness, Sword Training, Imperfection.
Tallents: Sword, Flying, Lance
Hidden Tallent: Reason
Bad At: Riding, Axe
Gameplay Notes: Kypha works best as a dark flyer, but could easily be any flying unit. She has high avoidance, so would be good at dodging as she does chip damage with magic or weapons.
Here is Kypha's pegasus: her name is Cynthia!
Though she hates being seen without makeup, occasionally this portrait would be used in supports where someone stumbles in on her room or there's a mixup or something. She's very insecure about many things, including her appearance.
Design Notes:
It was actually really difficult to design Kypha! I originally wanted to contrast Felix as a person, so made Kypha really bubbly and silly, but that just didn't feel right for her. Particularly with Felix's parenting style I pictured. A hands off, but strict approach would be unlikely to yield a daughter full of joy and whimsy. So I scrapped the whole thing, and tried again.
I love the cold Kypha who's emerged from the design process. She has a lot of dark flyer (the constance class) elements in the design as well.
Also whydoihavetopickaname did her portrait - I think it looks fab!
Naming choice:
Kypha as in the feminine of Kyphon Fraldarius (Loog's bestie), Anne because that was the only French feminine name that worked with Kypha (at least in our opinions)
You mentioned in a previous Hubernie post that Artemas and Apollo would be jealous of Siegfried for a while after they found out that they weren't planned for. What would their dynamic with Siegfried be like during and after they get over their jealousy?
That's assuming they get over their jealousy at all.
The main reason for the Hubernie!Twins' jealousy in the first place is because of how much attention Seigfried gets from their family and especially their big sister.
Seigfried would have come earlier than them, and with Branwen already 5-6 years old, she would have begun her training as his vassal by the time they're born. Given her new responsibilities as not only the heiress to House Vestra but also the vassal of the new baby prince, she would have to divide her attention between her actual brothers and His Highness often.
That inevitability irritates the two early on in a very "but she's mine!" kind of way. Try thinking of it like how children argue over toys.
And their "unplanned = unwanted" rhetoric would only exacerbate their insecurity, becoming jealous of Seigfried who was planned for. Not only was Seig planned for, but since he was born premature and sickly, now all of Adrestia cared what was going on with him, taking Branwen and their parents' attention away from them. It wouldn't be true, exactly. Bernadetta and Hubert would likely try to reassure them that they are loved regardless of how they came into the world with varying degrees of success each time.
As they get older, around their default ages, Seigfried would likely know that the twins don't much care for him but do their duty anyway, apologizing for the way his unusual circumstances caused them so much sorrow. That alone could either soften them up to him or make them angrier.
Hubert, Branwen, and even Bernadetta would have put so much of themselves into the prince's care that him apologizing in his usual self-deprecating way would sound something like "all that time they spent on me was wasted effort" to their ears. On the flip side, it may make them like the guy a little more after they've given themselves time to heal. It wasn't Seig's fault he was born a little broken; he didn't ask to be made this way or be born before them.
If and when they got over their hurt feelings, they'd probably apologize to Seigfried (Artemas some time before Apollo and likely one on one) and try to make amends for their foul behaviour towards him. By the time they're grown up, it's likely they'll have already gone their separate ways or become really good friends with him.
AAA Freya poor baby! Arundel scaring her so much makes so much sense. I really want second cousin Sigfreid to just stand in front of her all protective and make sure that TWSTD leaves both him and her alone for good! Honestly I imagine Sigfreid and Freya's dynamic is so big brother little sister coded - despite her being the physically stronger of the two (with the Blaiddyd crest) he gets to be the scary big brother who protects her. Dimtiri needs to adopt that little wet cat boi.
Nooo wait can you imagine Dimitri adopting Sigfried (who I guess has traveled from another universe?) and not-quite getting the whole ghosts and weird vibes thing. Eventually Dimitri chalks it up to a similar psychotic disorder to his own ghosts and weird vibes thing, and is just such a sensitive and caring step-dad/uncle/dad/carer (however sigfreid would want to refer to him). Does he get it? no not really. but dang he's still trying! Byleth from the AM universe instantly clocks it, and tries to help in a much more successful but far more clinical way. Freya is just along for the ride, and super happy to get another sibling.
This references this post I made a while ago! Sorry for the late response -> Link
💙House Blaiddyd (feat. Seigfried von Hresvelg)❤️🩹
Honestly loving how often I'm getting "jumped through time/in a different dimension" prompts for Seigfried specifically. It just fits him so well. And on that note, I'm not going to do the FEH route for cross-route shenanigans this time. It's been a while since I've done a genuine time warp.
So, let's isekai Seigfried to a world where he shouldn't exist - the AM route.
🩸An Eagle Among Lions🦁🐱
The world of Azure Moon is somewhat different from that of Crimson Flower. Archbishop Rhea would still be alive after handing over her position to Byleth, what remained of the Goddess' children would still be alive, and the King of Faerghus would be seated at the helm of a Fodlan united under a blue banner instead of red.
More importantly, Edelgard and the Empire she had dreamed of building would not exist as it does in his world. Here, his mother is dead, his friends and confidants were never born, and his position as Imperial Prince of Adrestia is rendered defunct. Where Seigfried himself shouldn't exist and yet does.
Having the mediating factor of Freya around would make it much easier to navigate this world without losing his mind over the loss. He'd soften to her relatively quickly, especially since she has a very gentle way about her and doesn't shy away from physical reassurance. Her presence would make meeting Dimitri for the first time easier. To suddenly appear in this place and be face to face with the Tempest King - who has been long dead with Seig being told stories about how crazy and driven by revenge he was in his last years alive - would be disorienting.
I like to think that Seigfried would be a good 'son' to him; they'd get on pretty well once they crossed over the initial hurdle to their relationship being his relation to Edelgard. He wouldn't feel too comfortable calling Dimitri his father, but would likely call him either by his name or, with time, 'uncle'. In private, he would call him uncle more often. Looking after Seig would also be a form of healing for Dimitri. This is his nephew, Edelgard's son, and though Edelgard herself is gone, he can still do right by her boy from a world where she isn't.
Seig's connection with Freya would also be very comfortable with him spending a lot of time around her just to be able to sleep properly at night. In return for her gentle care, he would look after her when she trains and goes exploring places further away from the palace. Having a cousin/older brother figure to be by her side and willing to help her grow out of her protective shell would improve her shyness and develop her conquer her fears. And in case she doesn't conquer them all, she has someone other than her father to turn to.
Seigfried may be sickly, but he still packs a punch.
With the presence of the children of the goddess still very much in the world, and Archbishop Byleth still having their connection to Sothis, I think Seig's visions wouldn't be as intense. Or, they could just clear themselves up much, much more than they do in his default world. In fact, he may even awaken his blood a lot more as well, gradually healing from his defects. The visions would probably lead him to journey to Zanado and the Monastery often, bringing him into close contact with Byleth and Rhea. That conversation is sure to be mind-blowing.
Ok, so, we've reached the first of the characters who could either have been Silver Snow or Crimson Flower. I'm not entirely sure how to structure this as a result. I think I'll go for the first section being the Crimson Flower lore (which will start with their title in red), and the second section being the Silver Snow lore (which will start with their title in purple). I hope that works.
Lowena von Aegir
Voice of Opposition
"Lowena is a secretive woman. Rarely seen outside of the Aegir residence, I hear she takes a unique interest in how the poetry of 'Jule' performs. Despite her Aegir blood she is unlikely to become the Prime Minister, with her father - Ferdinand - having maintained that position. He is less... radical than his daughter. At least in public." - Wilhelm von Hresvelg
Dislikes: Those who harm others, observation, the empire.
Lowena is a contentions figure among the nobility of Adrestia. Her wicked wit and mastery of poetics made her a difficult opponent in a debate, and she had very dangerous opinions on the war and the expansion of the empire. She used to be a lot more opinionated before the Vestras cracked down on the rising noble opposition. Now she is the model servant of the imperial regime.
The poet 'Jule', however, is another story. Their poetry is as brutal as it is brilliant. Its supporters are the outcast and downtrodden of imperial society, and the criticisms their poetry levied at the dictatorial regime have given words to the lower classes and disgruntled nobles. The whole regime, but in particular the Vestras have been hunting for them for some time. Of course, if anyone were to suggest that 'Jule' was Lowena, Ferdinand would laugh, and change the topic expertly.
Lowena von Aegir
Noble Poet
Though she has dabbled in writing for the opera - Lowena's main artistic drive is poetry. Under the pen-name 'Jule' - inspired by the twin jewels of the empire her father claimed to have once been part of - she has published lots of thought provoking poetry on crests and the class systems. She longs to be part of the change she advocates for, and as a result has requested to be voted in to the position of advisor to the archbishop.
Gameplay: Lowena would be a classic lance unit. Simple, easy. She could, via her hidden talent, be changed into a hard hitting healer class. Perhaps a war cleric or something like that. Honestly I haven't thought that much about it.
Design notes:
Lowena's design shows her nobility through ruffles and layered fabrics, but deliberately has no filigree, because on Ferdinand that is golden. Brass-y gold seems to be the main metal colour of the empire, and so I chose to avoid it when designing Lowena. Because either she is a supporter of Byleth in Silver Snow, or a dissenter in the regime of Crimson Flower, she refuses to wear gold.
She also has mostly hidden armour, the Ferdinand greaves are under her long pleated skirt - the pleats allow her to move if required, whilst maintaining a pencil shape. This is to give off the image of benign compliance, whilst being ready to fight or run when she needs to. Or to give off the image of peace-time whilst being ready to defend the people of Fodlan. Honestly it's quite hard to design characters with two separate environments and plot lines, but I'm having fun.
Also the neck and shoulder armour is adapted from the Fates Great Knight armour. The earrings have Ferdinand's little Cravat pin, as well as another earring design in 3Houses.
