Rereading The Whitestone Chronicles comic that focuses on Cassandra (bc let it be known she is one of my favourite characters and is deeply underrated) and I still am SO confused by Percy’s inconsistent amount of siblings in the show compared to the campaign.
Someone might have spoken about this before but regardless I wanted to mention it myself because it’s been bothering me again.
We know that, as of the campaign, Percy has six siblings: Julius, Vesper, Whitney, Ludwig, Oliver, and Cassandra. Yet CONSISTENTLY the show forgets to add Vesper and usually one of the younger boys too.
I noticed this again in S4 E7 of TLOVM:
Like why are we completely missing two siblings here??
Yet Vesper DOES exist in TLOVM, because Percy mentions her name in S1. Her name is also mentioned in the Cassandra comic:
For once, ALL siblings are mentioned there (and this comic does tie directly into TLOVM, not the campaign)
And yet, Vesper is then simultaneously forgotten here:
Where all of Cassandra’s deceased siblings are there… minus Vesper. She DOES exist, but simply is just never present in family photos or any flashbacks or basically anything?? I am deeply confused by this inconsistency and I do wonder if there will be some explanation for it plot-wise in season 5, but with the limited time left, I do doubt it.
I also wonder if it’s going to affect Percy and Vex’s firstborn daughter’s name, as aside from mere mentions, Vesper the first is literally never physically seen or spoken about in the show. (I hope it doesn’t affect that though, because Vesper Elaina de Rolo is very dear to me.)
It’s not a big issue either way, but it is something that’s been on my mind for a while as someone very interested in the entirety of the de Rolo family.
