Even More HCs of the TWST characters: Book 7 and Diasomnia edition
This may contain spoilers for Book 7 so do be warned
The Dawn Knight resented being called "a hero" when he knew that so much blood was on his hands. He also went mad from grief at the end of his life to the point where he wished he was dead
The visions Lilia and everyone saw during the party were the actual spirits of the deceased soldiers from both the Silver Owls, The Briarland Army, but also the spirits of Maleanor, Queen Leah, and The Dawn Knight. His UM only made them more clear to the eye. Before she died, Maleanor cursed the entire castle that those who would perish would have their souls trapped in there. They were only freed when the conflict ended with Malleus and Silver.
I do think Leah genuinely loved her husband but deep down she held a lot of guilt especially after not stopping her brother. She knew he was too far gone after the war, but she was already pregnant and juggling that while trying to console her husband was incredibly difficult.
Both the Dawn Knight and Leah's spirits were deeply relieved that it was Lilia who found Silver and they knew their son would be in good hands. Despite what happened, they knew Lilia had a kind soul.
Baur straight up travelled around Briar Valley to find a payphone just so he could cuss out Lilia for nearly getting himself killed. His scolding was a little less frightening compared to Maleficia's but it was long and headache inducing though.
Lilia taught Silver an old song on the ocarina but that song in particular was a song made in memory of the many soldiers who perished in the war against the silver owls.
Silver once called Malleus 'big brother' and was always so happy to see him whenever he would visit. However, Lilia had to correct him for his own safety.
Malleus tried to intimidate Silver when he was a baby at first but baby Silver just smiled at him which led to Malleus gifting Silver one of his childhood nicknames, 'beastie'.
Lilia HEAVILY related to the song "Hello Young Lovers" especially when it came to how he felt about Maleanor and Raverne.
To this day, Baur doesn't understand what his daughter sees in her husband, but is slightly grateful that he treats her well and despite their half-fae status, he loves his grandchildren dearly however he still maintains his strict attitude.
Sebek will never admit this, but he was over the moon when someone gifted him a heated blanket to help him deal with the cold. He still wishes to have more of a tolerance against the cold however.
Aside from the MC, Silver wasn't really scared of Malleus's more inhuman sides and one time when he was a baby, he saw Malleus flying in his true form, landed right in front of the little bebeh and Silver smiled a bit at him while hugging his big brother by the snout. It did freak out Lilia though.
One thing Lilia loves doing is scaring the ever living crap out of his dorm mates especially with his bagpipe playing at 3 in the morning.
Every time Maleficia looks at her grandson, she's always reminded of her daughter and the all-consuming grief that came with her having to bury her own child. It didn't help that Malleus really inherited his mother's rebellious and cheeky attitude.
Despite how much the Senate tried to diminish Lilia's contributions or smear his name, Baur always tried to clear his friend's name and properly tell the story of what happened.
Silver may not have inherited his bio father's passiveness, (which was something the Dawn Knight was RELIEVED to witness), but he did inherit a few things from him. The first being his rather calm and quiet demeanor. The second was animals feeling safe in his presence.
Loudness is a trait passed down in the Zigvolt family. If any of the family members have a shouting match, it's enough to nearly break the sound barrier.
In the moment Lilia spent between the border of life and death, he had a heart to heart talk with Maleanor about everything. She was shocked that Lilia took in the Dawn Knight's son and raised him as his own but hearing that the Senate blamed him for her death and how they cursed his name for hatching Malleus even though it was on her orders angered her. Still, she knew Lilia wasn't ready to leave the world. He had a lot of things he wanted to do and she didn't want her friend ending up as a ghost like her. So, she told him to go back and when it's actually his time to ascend to the stars to come back with a happier ending to his story.
