I was reading about Empress Elisabeth of Austria (called Sisi by family) the other day and I read that her elder sister princess Helene was supposed to marry emperor Franz Joseph of Austria but things didn't go as planned - he fell in love with and married Sisi instead. Then it hit me: Vivenna-Helene, Siri-Sisi. Could it be a coincidence? Did it come up in the fandom before or maybe Sandy talked about it somewhere long ago and I'm reinventing the wheel here?
I haven’t personally heard of the connection, but I wonder if anyone else has heard if Brandon’s talked about this. If not, it could be a good question to ask him, Anon.
