Elza Molinaro:
Favorite Aunt: Mercedes, mostly because she's a devout follower of the Church of Seiros and has been shown in the game to have an interest in Duscur's traditions. They also have very similar dispositions, though Mercedes is a bit more openly optimistic, and I think she'd be able to encourage Elza to also be more open. They'd get along great!
Favorite Uncle: Dimitri! Dedue and Dimitri are of course very close, making their children close. Elza has a lot of thoughts and opinions on how Faerghus treats its citizens, particularly those from Duscur, and would jump at the chance to work with its king to change and improve some of those policies. She and her father would both work closely with Dimitri in order to make sure Duscurians (and people from other regions such as Sreng or Dagda) are treated more fairly.
Ena Ubert:
Favorite Aunt: Mercedes, though this one was a bit tricky since I don't think Ena would love any of her aunts. Mercedes, though, also has a very gentle personality. Ena's love of children, soft clothes, and the Church of Seiros are all things Mercedes shares with her, so they have a lot of common interests.
Favorite Uncle: Dedue. Ena doesn't like being around people that frighten or overwhelm her, and while Dedue is physically intimidating, he is also very gentle and softspoken, which are traits she would appreciate. I think they could find some common ground in enjoying the outdoors and companionable silence.
Guinevere Adamantia Blaiddyd:
Favorite Aunt: Ingrid. I think Guin would look up to a physically strong and powerful woman such as Ingrid, and in turn, Ingrid would be able to help her channel her physical strength and her rebelliousness into a more healthy outlet (likely combat training). Guin also likes stories of honor and glory, which can often include knights' tales.
Favorite Uncle: Felix. Out of the adults in her life, Felix is the one who outwardly cares the least about what Guin does (he still cares, but he knows better than to express it and bother her). He doesn't come after her for being so rebellious/resistant towards Dimitri, which she appreciates. Sometimes he can get a bit overbearing; what Guin does reflects poorly on Faerghus, after all, but he always knows when he needs to take a step back.
Maddox Laurent Dominic:
Favorite Aunt: Mercedes! This probably isn't a surprise, given how close Mercedes and Annette are. Mercedes' relationship with Maddox would probably be a lot like her bond with Annette, and they would get along excellently.
Favorite Uncle: Dedue. Since Maddox struggles a bit with being a bigger, clumsier guy, he would look up to Dedue, who handles his large size very gracefully. Maddox also, even though he's terrible at it, would like to learn to cook and bake, which is something Dedue could teach him. The two of them would be able to spend a lot of time together doing odd jobs and just getting things done.
Margot Séverine Gautier:
Favorite Aunt: Annette. She would be able to help Margot with studying dark magic, since Annette herself is a reason mage, and I think being around someone as upbeat as Annette would be helpful for Margot, who tends to be rather grim. They also both have very strong work ethics.
Favorite Uncle: Dimitri (this one was a tricky choice). Ultimately, I think Dimitri's position as king means he would have access to a lot of helpful information that Margot could use in her studies. I also think he would be able to convince her to take a break every once in a while; he is the king so she would take his requests a bit more seriously.
Octavia Iris Fraldarius:
Favorite Aunt: Ingrid, which I'm sure most of you could guess. This one's pretty cut-and-dry; Ingrid is essentially everything Octavia wants to be when she grows up, so she would idolize her a lot.
Favorite Uncle: Sylvain! Since Felix and Sylvain are such close friends (in most timelines at least), Octavia would be around him a lot, and she would look up to him as an example of someone that can manage having knightly ideals with being nobility, because that's a tension she herself deals with. Octavia also really likes cold weather, and Gautier has some of the coldest winters in Fódlan, so travelling to Gautier would be very fun for her.
Sigmund Bragi Galatea:
Favorite Aunt: Mercedes! We know from the game that Mercedes loves telling ghost stories, and even though Sigmund would be terrified he would still love to listen to them. I also think Mercedes' calmer, kinder energy would be nice for Sigmund, who can sometimes get a little too overwhelmed and would need someone to bring him down a bit.
Favorite Uncle: Ashe, but Sylvain is a close second (and frequently acts like he's heartbroken about it). Sigmund's love of telling stories would blend well with Ashe's love of knights' tales, and Sigmund also loves trying new foods, which he would get a lot of opportunities to do around someone who's as good of a cook as Ashe.
Reynaldo Felicity von Martritz:
Favorite Aunt: Annette! Similar to Maddox, the fact that Rey's mom and Annette are so close means he would also end up being close to her. I also think Annette's tendencies towards planning and restlessness means they'd be able to come up with a lot of great parties and celebrations together! Rey would probably ask her to sing sometimes at the festivals he arranges.
Favorite Uncle: Sylvain. Even as a more refined nobleman, Sylvain still knows how to have a good time. I also think that Rey has a tendency to be very go-with-the-flow and not work very hard, and Sylvain's arc in the game involves him learning to have a better work ethic and take things more seriously, so he'd probably be able to help Rey with similar issues.
“Archers take up the bow for a variety of reasons. Ena’s was to keep her distance from people. She’s a very timid, anxious girl, always avoiding eye contact or long conversations. She spends most of her time either in Gaspard’s wilderness or at churches, and has developed something of a reputation as a ‘ghost’ due to her quiet footsteps and hushed voice. Despite her nature, though, she is unfailingly kind, just like her father, and holds love in her heart for every creature and person she meets.” - Dimitri Alexandre Blaiddyd
“I can’t express how much Ena means to me. I wish I could connect with her more, but she seems determined to avoid everyone, including me, and the last thing I want is to frighten her. She wasn’t quite so soft-spoken as a child, but it’s always been a part of her. I wouldn’t change any part of her, not for anything. I’m proud of her for staying true to herself through everything, and I know she’s going to make a real difference someday.” - Ashe Ubert
Age + Birthday: 15, 18th of the Horsebow Moon (September 18)
Height: 5’6” (168 cm)
Appearance: Ena’s slender build makes it easy for her to disappear, which is just the way she likes it. Her face is pale and covered in freckles, most of which are hidden behind strands of her silvery hair, which she keeps long so she can hide behind it. When her eyes do peek out from behind the silver, they’re the same mint green as her father’s, though considerably rounder and wider, perpetually nervously flitting around her. She dresses in warm clothes, including a small capelet and hood lined with fur, and keeps snacks in a bag at her hip, for children or animals alike.
Likes: being alone, the outdoors, small and fuzzy animals, soft clothes, children, sunrises and sunsets, the Church of Seiros
Dislikes: loud noises, crowded rooms, academics, being stuck inside
Lost Items: Bag of Sweets, [coming soon!]
Now i want ena, aryn, hadya, and gawain to play hide and seek together. But who would be the best at hiding and who would be the best at seeking...?
Oh what a fun and whimsical ask!!
Ena: better at hiding. She wouldn't be a bad seeker, but she's a naturally very quiet person, and would be well-suited to hiding. However, I do think she'd get really tense while hiding, so it's entirely possible she would yelp or make little noises if the seeker was too close, so as long as someone is in the vicinity of her, they'd probably find her.
Aryn: better at seeking. He's a hunter and spends a lot of time tracking animals and the like in the forest, so he's absolutely a better seeker than hider.
Hadya: honestly, I think it's a tie with her!! She's an excellent eavesdropper and tracker, so if anybody was playing who's prone to giggling or heavy breathing, she would absolutely track them down, but she's also very good at sneaking around without getting detected, which would lend itself to hiding.
Gawain: better at hiding! He'd basically just find the tiniest possible spot and wedge himself as far in as he could, and he wouldn't get bored or sore from being in such a tight spot for so long, so he would be unmatched as a hider.
Imagine Hapi as Ena’s mother👀! On one hand, her crest would probably connect to nature better and make friends with monsters! However, would probably been even more scared and start more rumors about her. Hapi would had a similar experience …
Ooo, that is interesting! I am very intrigued by Hapi and Ashe as a ship, that's for sure...
I think this is cute! The additional connection to/affinity with nature and animals would be something Ena would love, but she doesn't really like super big animals (like Demonic Beasts), so assuming she inherits the monstrous aspects of Timotheos' Crest, she would have to be a lot more careful when outside and such. It would also probably make Ashe more protective of her, which would in turn make her more resistant towards him.
She'd definitely be able to connect really well to Hapi, though! From what I understand, Hapi isn't pushy with people that aren't very sociable/talkative, and I think she'd understand how her daughter works and be respectful of it. She'd also obviously be able to help with managing the side effects of that particular Crest, which Ena would need.
gawain, ena, and clementia rise up as the "fuck loud noises/people/yellers" trio lol
They all just want to be in quiet rooms or with people that aren't prone to yelling, and honestly they're so real for that--things get a little rough for Gawain who regularly hangs out with Hester von Bergliez lmfao
ena: man i hate being inside where all the ppl are. better go outside to be alone!
sigmund: great idea, i also hate being cooped up inside!
ena: w- *opens the door to escape, tripping over a body in the process*
aryn, opening a single eye: can't a guy get any sleep around here? the sun is so nice today!
ena: sorry, i- *turns and sees annalena giving her a disapproving look for blocking the sun* SORRY, i'll leave you to your reading now- why are so many people outside today?!
sigmund: why not, the outdoors are great! :D
Honestly this has made me realize how much Aryn and Annalena could just vibe by sitting out in the sun together, they'd have such a great time
And yeah, I love Sigmund, but it would go right over his head that Ena is going outside to get away from people lmao, Ena would be trying to sneak out and get some alone time and Sig would be like "Oh, you're heading out! Let me join you, it's a beautiful day!" And poor Ena would just be like "okay..." lmfao
