The Lindgrens have lived in Yacothia—no, they're calling it Jubilant Accosts now—for longer than anyone, especially the Jakobssons, no matter what anyone says. In fact, their family descends matrilineally from Jacob himself. They have the magic to prove it, and it's even manifested physically in their most powerful family members.Â
Delicia Deering wants only for her son to become the heir he's meant to be. Really it should have been his brother, but Guthini joined the Watcher instead, so she's stuck with Jakob as her heir. At least she's made him a good match with Lea. If nothing else, the two of them should be able to foster another generation of Lindgrens to make sure they keep their social power, and aren't unseated by the Jacobsson family.Â
As the best business woman in the community, Delicia has kept her family on good terms with the Proxy by earning her keep with her economic knowhow. Which is certainly for the best, since she's heard rumours that he doubts the claims that magickal markings—and especially the horns—are truly a gift from Jacob to show someone's magickal ability. Likely the work of the Jakobssons, as their questionable behaviour can't possibly be seen as proper in the eyes of the Watcher, and yet Jakobina and her pack of ne'erdowells still sport the same horns and marks as the Lindgrens! Delicia is sure she's up to something nefarious in order to keep them.Â
