Hey, what do u think about this post: https://www.tumblr.com/profesionalpartyguest/693680876043845632/huh-cornwall-is-canonically-hermias-dad?source=share

It left me speechless for awhile but I love it.

Hi! I was actually made aware of this little factoid back in 2019 or so, and I actually have a two-part essay planned around it that I'm planning on posting as part of the GVGP (though I'm thinking of expediting part 1, which goes into further detail about what I'm going to cover here). I remember being shocked about Cornwall's French bio, but I eventually rationalized that the last sentence was probably something left over from an earlier version of the neighborhood (and wasn't removed from the French localization for some reason).

Basically, somewhere along the way, I figured that Hermia's parents were switched from Regan and Cornwall to Cordelia and Caliban. Tbh, I'm not exactly sure why the switch happened, mostly because Cornwall and Regan fit better as Hermia's parents from a Shakespeare perspective. For one thing, those two being Hermia's parents better mirrors both Hermia's relationship with her dad in AMSND, along with Rosaline supposedly being Juliet's cousin in Romeo and Juliet. If I had to guess, the switch might have been so that she could have served as Juliette's confidant a la the nurse in Romeo and Juliet, but I can't be completely sure.

Beyond the Shakespeare implications, there are also some gameplay tidbits that seem to support this switch. First, there's Consort's memories, which state that Hermia was born before Juliette. This contradicts their age bars, where Juliette is the older one of the two. Given how aging works in TS2, the only way I could logically explain this discrepancy would be if Hermia grew up in a separate household from Juliette (this also explains why Miranda is listed as being born before Tybalt in Consort's memories, despite her being younger than Hermia when it comes to their age bars).

Another gameplay feature that ties into the Shakespeare inspiration also has to do with Hermia's relationships with Regan and Cornwall, both of which start in the negatives. While I can't say for sure how she felt about Cordelia and Caliban, the game seems to hint that their deaths were the catalyst for Hermia growing up badly, so I would assume that her relationship with them was on the cordial side.

As a compromise for the whole thing, I have a multitude of headcanons regarding Hermia's relationships with both Cornwall and Regan, but that might go into trigger warning territory for some people, so I probably won't elaborate here (my playthroughs offer some explanation, but don't go into the whole story). Let's just say that some things happened that led to both Cornwall and Regan distancing themselves from Hermia while she was younger, and that the latter has resented them ever since.

oh, I can't wait to read your essay on this. I just love this fact, mostly because it explains better why hermia's name comes from a different play than her siblings. it always bothered me lol.

Hi! I'm so glad that you're looking forward to it. Yeah, I always found it a bit odd that Hermia was the only one of her siblings not named after a character from Romeo & Juliet.

Interestingly enough, this isn't the only instance of siblings being named after characters from different plays. Take Goneril's kids, for example -- Miranda and Ariel are named after characters from The Tempest, while Hal is named after one of the characters from the second Henriad, and Desdemona is named after a character from Othello. The ABC Montys are also guilty of this. While there are multiple Antonios, Biancas, and Claudios in the Shakespeare canon, the only two who share a play are the Antonio and Claudio from Much Ado About Nothing.

Beyond that, Hermia's also the only modern day Capp named after a character from a play set in Greece. While working on the essay, I managed to rationalize this decision in a few ways, and I have headcanons to explain how Hermia ended up with her name from an in-universe perspective. As a result, it doesn't bother me as much as it used to.
