You know how some people in the fanom had theories that Freyes Mother is not human and that's why she couldn't be saved because she had a sickness that had to do with what she is and couldn't be treated with human healing.
Well you know how Nesta is often enough referenced by Freye how she looks so much like their mother out of the three
What if Nesta is actually the only child their mother had or her mother had Nesta with another mystic/magical type being and she had Elain and Freye with their Father.
It might explain why Nesta was preferred by their mother ( or it would seem so) and how Tamlin, a HIGH LORDS, glamor didn't work on her. How Nesta was able to tell when Freye went into Luciens mind ( even if she was high fae there), also why when Freye went into Nestas mind it was even darker than Rhysands darkness, who MIND YOU IS THE HIGH LORD OF THE NIGHT COURT so you would think that wouldn't be likely.
Freye also noticed how quick Nesta was able to be as still as a Fae, and has been described to tilt her head or look at someone like a predator would.
Even Amren couldn't figure out what her magic was. AMREN this extremely old knowledgeable being.
Also why Nesta is often referred as something else than a simple high fae: by Amren : “We are the same, you and I,” Amren said.
"Not in flesh, not in the thing that prowls beneath our skin and bones …” Amren’s remarkable eyes narrowed. “But … I see the kernel, girl.” Amren nodded, more to herself than anyone. “You did not fit—the mold that they shoved you into. The path you were born upon and forced to walk. You tried, and yet you did not, could not, fit. And then the path changed.” A little nod. “I know—what it is to be that way. I remember it, long ago as it was.”
and the Illyrians immediately recognized Nesta as something other than High Fae.
"What is that,” Devlon asked.
One of the other camp-lords made some sign against evil.
I opened my mouth, but Nesta said flatly, “Yes.”
And I watched as nine full-grown, weathered Illyrian warlords flinched.
“She may act like one sometimes,” Cassian clarified, “but no—she is High Fae.”
“She is no more High Fae than we are,” Devlon countered.
Devlon muttered, “Keep her away from the females and children.”
Nesta is also referred to often enough as a "queen" ( queen without a throne so on) since the first book and will often be referred to as such sevral times through the other books
And of course the scene when Cassian and Freye went to the Carver :
“What if I tell you what the rock and darkness and sea beyond whispered to me, Lord of Bloodshed? How they shuddered in fear, on that island across the sea. How they trembled when she emerged. She took something—something precious. She ripped it out with her teeth.”
“What did you wake that day in Hybern, Prince of Bastards?”
“What came out was not what went in.” A rasping laugh as the Carver laid the shard of bone on the ground beside him. “How lovely she is—new as a fawn and yet ancient as the sea. How she calls to you. A queen, as my sister once was. Terrible and proud; beautiful as a winter sunrise.”
“How the wind moans her name. Can you hear it, too? Nesta. Nesta. Nesta.”
“What did she do, drowning in the ageless dark? What did she take?”
What's intresting here is when the Carver says "what did you wake", perhaps Nestas true power/nature she was born with has been cut off from her but has always been there.
"new as a fawn and yet ancient as the sea."
Reinforces this idea for me.
Also how the Carver talks about how the wind and earth etc talks about her idk the "wind and earth" didn't do that when Freye and Elain emerged apparently.
And the last point I want to make here is when Rhysand flew Nesta down to the townhouse and she got angry and her eyes looked like "Quicksilver set aflame" and Lucien with his magic eye thing also could not identify what it was or what she is:
Until Lucien breathed, “What are you?”
“Is that sort of thing even possible?” Cassian murmured when the door to her room had shut. “For someone to take from the Cauldron’s essence?”
"It would seem so,” Rhys mused, then said to Lucien, “The flame in her eyes was not of your usual sort, I take it.”
Lucien shook his head. “No. It spoke to nothing in my own arsenal. That was … Ice so cold it burned. Ice and yet … fluid like flame. Or flame made of ice.”
If you made it this far please tell me what you think or other theories I would love to know!
