Do you hc Shivering Soldier and his wife having a family? If so, what can you tell us about all of them?
I have some ideas, but I need to develop them a little bit. I’ve headcanoned their names as Daniel and Alma, so that’s how I’ll refer to them.
Daniel has a sister named Florence; I haven’t decided yet whether she’s older or younger. I’m thinking about having her be a doctor of some kind, maybe a pediatrician. Florence and Alma are good friends with each other.
Alma is Farrier’s (first name Edmund) younger sister. They have a very close relationship. She’s closer to him than she is to their dad, although she and her dad aren’t necessarily on bad terms. Edmund and Daniel are also super close. Since neither has a brother they effectively become brothers.
Pre-war they have a son named Jonathan. He is named after Daniel’s uncle, who was a much-needed surrogate father to Daniel and passed away from cancer when Daniel was a teenager. I’m thinking that he’ll be 4 or 5 years old when the war starts, maybe a little younger.
Some time after he has returned home, they have a daughter and name her Judith. She’s named after Alma’s younger sister, who died of influenza at a young age.
Jonathan loooooooooves his dad. It’s almost unnatural how attached he is. When Jonathan grows up he decides to study psychology because he wants to learn how to help people like his dad.
