MY THOUGHTS ABOUT KIKIO PART 2
And about the silva
⋆ ˚｡⋆୨ ʚɞ ୧⋆ ˚｡⋆
Disclaimer. I'm NOT trying to justify her actions, just a theory as to what events in Kikyo's life led to who she is, what she does, and why.
In my previous post, I wrote that over time, Kikyo most likely developed Stockholm syndrome towards Silva. From this one might think that their marriage is not for love (plus the fact that in such families most marriages are concluded only for the sake of benefit and status).
However, in my opinion, this is not entirely true. Both true and false. I'll try to explain.
As I said, marriages in such obscenely wealthy families from high society are concluded solely in order to confirm their already high status, as well as to gain new connections. Well, for reproduction too. But as we know, Kikyo is from Meteor City. And it's a dump town where people have no status or last names, and most of the children raise themselves(redan, for example). So I doubt that out of a huge choice, Zeno and his wife would have chosen Kikyo to marry their son.
I think Silva and Kikyo had some kind of passionate and short romance, and Silva, driven by these emotions, married her, even against his father's will(Zeno doesn't like Kikyo, let's remember that.). I'll repeat what I wrote in my previous post, she was 18 at the time, which is the age when a person was literally just allowed to buy alcohol and make their own choices at the state level. Kikyo was not then a fully formed person with the experience of adult life(And she gave birth to Illumi at 18, so at the time she met Silva, she was most likely at least 17.). After Illumi was born and began training him, Kikyo was against it, but said nothing and assured herself that everything was fine and that her lover knew best. She thought so because "He chose me, I will not be needed by anyone except him."(Again, she's from Meteor City). Over time, she even began to romanticize all the horror that was happening in this family. She is very attached to her husband and children, especially her own children. Because their appearance is the only thing she has influenced this family and the only thing she tries to control.
