how about the blue lions/ashen wolves (your choice :)) finding their younger brother (or sibling if you wanna stay gn) after him/them being missing for years??
[How about we do Ashen Wolves?? I don’t think I have gotten a request for our shadowed bby’s yet lol. One pre-timeskip imagine coming right up! Hope you like it!]
Yuri Birdie:
Family is very important to Yuri. Not just his blood but also his people. In other words: you screw with them then you screw with him
One of the names in his little black book stands out over most; in fact it’s one of the first listed
His sibling. The memories he has with them are foggy but that doesn’t make them any less important
It was an accident. They fell into a river rapid...and well, the rest was downhill from there. He was powerless to help since they were both a young age
So imagine Yuri’s surprise to see them working at a bakery near the monastery.
He’s out one night on personal business only to hear a familiar laugh
He doesn’t approach them, just watches
Stalks the area a few times just to make sure. When he’s certain he still won’t approach (i’m sorry, but it’s true)
Why disturb their already safe life? There must have been a reason for them not to return home
Although he will take great pleasure of crossing their name out of his book.
Balthus:
There are many things that Balthus regrets. He tries not to think of what ‘could have been’ and instead focus of what ‘is’
He literally has no family to speak of if you don’t count the people who hate him
Who could love a schlup and a screw up?...one person
Unlike his younger brother he had another sibling. One who actually looked up to him
One that he let down
He can’t remember what happened. He was drunk and said things that he knows were lies. The next morning there was no sight of them. Just an empty bed.
His house didn’t do much to search, and neither did he. It was just one less person around in the potluck to be the head. Only when he left did the regret sit in. There was one person in his life that wanted the best for him and he drew them away
Occasionally he’d ask the bartenders in different towns if they’d seen someone to match their description. He even puled a favor from Holst to search around...just another fruitless debt he has to pay
Feels his whole world flip in a split moment when a new student enrolls into Ashen Wolves. It was them, and they did not look happy to see him
Lady Rhea had issued them to be under surveillance as a new student. Something about their crest yadayada he stopped listening after that
This was a second chance to do things right. He could only hope they’d let him back in
Constance:
Constance’s entire life has been spent trying to preserve the honor of the Nuvelle household. She needs to, both for herself and for those counting on her
Contrary to many’s belief she does not care for the Adrestian Empire. At all.
It has taken many things from her. Her home, her dignity, and her family. In addition to killing her parents the Emperor ordered the imprisonment of her younger sibling. The memory of them being dragged away haunts her at the worst times.
Yet it pushes her to strive onward. Things will be different now that she has joined the professor’s class. She will learn. She will conquer
Till Remire village, where a familiar face with now silky white hair stood across from her
“(Y/N)?...no, it cannot be” her moment of weakness nearly cost her life. This person was her sibling but now her enemy
She convinces the professor to spare them. With the help of her peers they are detained and held within the monastery prison for questioning
On the name of her house she would turn them over to her side. There was no telling what had happened over the years they spent apart, but she won’t lose anything else to the Empire
Hapi:
Hapi hasn’t seen any of her family since imprisonment, and she hasn’t considered to seek them out
She’s aware that not all her family was back at home. Some had left while she was young to explore Fodlan, one of which being her older sibling. Her village was strict in regard to interacting with outsiders and they left in the night
Not that she expected to meet them. It’s a big country
Though she does long for the kind of companionship that a loving family provides. She sees how normal people act with their relatives and can’t help but be a bit envious. Not enough to sigh though
One day she’s out on a walk with Chatterbox when someone calls out to her
Thinking it’s an ordinary maid she asks what they need, but they don’t reply. Instead it’s someone with a similar skin tone to her’s, donning a grande mage’s robe
Never say never. She never thought they’d meet each other again, let alone like this. A refugee student and a high-mage; now that’s a story
She wouldn’t necessarily be buddy-buddy with them at first, but wouldn’t shy away from their company
Doesn’t tell them about her ability at first. She wants them to remember her as she was.
They keep in contact during academy times, and spend the five year gap together. Both become hella badass units for the war
