Visit

Reinhardt: We bring greetings and invitations from [Friend]. Would you like to join in the festivities?

Castle

Reinhardt: I’m not sure if this Hoshidan garb fits me, but Ciela... She is the very vision of loveliness in it.

Reinhardt: That Fehnix plush... I know I won it for Ciela but... I wish she’d let me hold on to it for a moment too.

Reinhardt: Are you familiar with this... musket weapon too? This might be just a toy right now but I’ve heard how dangerous they were originally...

Ciela: I will never cease to be amazed at Reinhardt’s ability in anything. Thinking about it, I’m really the luckiest person in the world to be his spouse.

Ciela: I’m pretty good at doing Hoshido’s traditional dance! I’ll show you later after we’re done with all the games and booths!

Reinhardt: *chuckles*

Reinhardt: Where should we go next, Ciela? Ciela: Anywhere is good as long as I’m with you, Rein.

Duo Conversation

Ciela: Mugugugugu.....

Reinhardt: *chuckles* You really took a big liking to that plush, didn’t you?

Ciela: Oooh, do I spy someone getting jealous?

Reinhardt: Well, no, how did you even--

Ciela: I know you’ve been eyeing this plush a lot! Here, you can hold it with me too, Rein! It’s big enough for the two of us!

Reinhardt: O-oh. Thank you... *sigh* It’s really so soft and fluffy. And it has your lovely scent on it too.

Ciela: Awwww really? Have I been holding it that much? *giggles* Well I guess it’s about time you hold on to it, too!

Reinhardt: Well I do not mind that in the slightest. I do so look forward to having you feed me some of those delicious octopus balls while my hands are occupied, Ciela.

Ciela: Oooh Rein, you... *laughs* All right, just make sure to open wide so no sauce falls on the plushie, okay dear?

Reinhardt: Certainly, milady.

Level 40 Conversation

Ciela: Rein, thank you very very much.

Reinhardt: Hm?

Ciela: For joining me in the festival... Eating all those delicious food, playing all those games and even winning me this plush... After all the hardships of our daily life, these moments seemed surreal, but... I am very happy to have more wonderful memories with you added to our stage of life together... All of these weren’t possible if it were not for you, Rein.

Reinhardt: Ciela, what I gave you tonight isn’t even a hundredth of what you’ve given me. More than anything, all I want is to make you smile and laugh just like how you’ve brightened up my days, love.

Ciela: Aw... oh no, Rein... That’s... *sobs*

Reinhardt: Come here, Ciela. *pats*

Ciela: *sobs*

Reinhardt: There, there. Now lift your chin up. There are so many wonderful activities and food in this festival we haven’t tried yet. Shall we get some of those octopus balls or grilled pancakes? 

For those who wondered why Ciela gets to have many S-supports now, let’s say that summoner interactions is a thing and I was enabled by many people to let Ciela has many support rights XD Most of them are from different timeline with the exception of one timeline I call as Totoverse

Main timeline The timeline where Ciela ends up with Brave Veronica and they became rulers of Embla together. They later adopted five children to be their heirs.

Thrasir’s timeline Thrasir’s personal timeline with her and Brave Ciela.

Reinhardt’s timeline The timeline where Ciela ends up with Reinhardt and they later go to Jugdral after everything’s over in Zenith. They have one daughter, Gloriana. It’s also the timeline where Ciela interacts with @summoner-pika​‘s family a lot.

Totoverse The timeline where Ciela gets to be poly and gets to S-support a lot of people. She’s still S-supporting Brave Veronica, although she also supports Toto and Zelgius (and perhaps Reinhardt too, though I’m not sure yet). She has one magic child with Veronica named Beatrice, two children with Zelgius named Lucien and Speran (I drew the three of them here), and one child with Toto named Zura. 

Anyway, height differences!

Bero: 6 cm

Thrasir/Toto: 17 cm

Reinhardt: 32 cm

Zelgius: 52 cm

Also I made small edit for Veronica so her height would be proportionally accurate since my Veronica is older than canon Veronica and thus bigger

Tolronica is now on perfect height to handhold with Toto

But alas

Ciela and Reinhardt’s relationship sort of goes off from the fact that blue tome Reinhardt was my first five stars unit and also the first unit I +10-ed. He has his own Resplendent version in her Askr, and was terribly loyal (and in love) with Ciela, so I definitely was able to see that they might end up together in the timeline where Ciela didn’t end up with Veronica (a timeline that I sort of denied its existence until very recently). Is this the timeline where yandere Reinhardt is a thing? Maybe not, but that’s not beyond the realm of possibility either. 

Their daughter is named Gloriana. She inherits a lot of her father’s traits, like his face features (based more on his dance alt), his hair, his height, and his talent and skills in magic and both swordsmanship. However, she has more affinity towards befriending and riding the pegasus like her mother. She takes pride in her genealogy, her skills, and her talents, way less subtle than how her father used to do in his old position as Ishtar’s right hand man. Gloriana looks up to her father a lot, but she clings and goes to her mother to talk about many of her worries and feelings. She used to see her mother as being very “normal” compared to her father, but as she grows, she heard many tales about Ciela’s endeavor as the summoner and appreciates her gentleness, kindness and wisdom. There’s nothing that makes Gloriana happier than making her parents proud and she wants to see them grow old and happy together. 

Reinhardt is basically the first five stars that Ciela got (either him or Brave Ike, who was my first free unit since I started due to CYL I think), and this made him hold quite an important spot in Ciela’s place. Initially I thought of him being like the nice guardian/older brother kinda thing since canonly in Ciela’s Askr-verse, him with Performing Arts Azura (who happens to be my first seasonal unit) were Ciela’s sorta... guardian, older siblings, retainer thing. She sort of projects her thoughts about her elder siblings (who were the only nice people she remembered from her world) into them and that’s how their relationship has been thus far. 

With Reinhardt though, he’s actually falling into the side quite a bit, esp after I stopped playing FEH for quite some time after the first anniversary (I think I stopped right after the TT with Sigurd, Quan, and Ares). Returning to it when CYL2 drops and I got Veronica and many other newer units such as Laegjarn or Legendary Robin, Reinhardt is really untouched for many times, until recently (or like late last year) I started giving him more attention and made him a +10 unit. He happened to be the first unit I +10-ed too. 

Once I get the right build and team for him, he really is becoming as powerful as how he works in the meta. The introduction of resplendent heroes and how he gets to have that form in the story also sort of furthers his use in my team.  So I just thought how this narratively would work in Ciela’s story, and so... Yandere Reinhardt sorta born that way =))

Some analysis done by some pals in the FEH summoner discord server talked about him being so.... reliant on being dependable. He has a noble disposition and great persona liked and hated by people at the same time, and seemed to relish on being someone dependable. He was sort of shafted when Ciela met Brave Veronica, but with him getting back into play, let’s say that he’s just very glad he could get Ciela’s attention back too, eventhough she’s been having him as her “brother” all this time, but I guess it may never be enough for him. 

That’s why he started to plot to take over Ciela’s attention and trust back along with his rising power. 

Also, someone gave me this meme then saying, “This is Reinhardt, but Myrrh is Veronica”.

And I guess like, that’s not wrong!! That’s probably one of his attempt into coaxing Ciela’s trust back since quite a funny thing happened recently. 

So I saved a lot of orbs (over 100 ish) in order to save for spring banner. Then FEH Anniversary happened and they announced CYL banner reruns. Having Brave Veronica only at +3, I decided to use the orbs there so I can at least have several more merges of her. So it happens that I got her on my 3rd round of pulling after 2 full rounds to build up pity rate. I just had good feelings that I can get more of her, and I still have quite a number of orbs left. 

And well, you can say that what happens after that is just, not great. Overall when the banner ended, I got two Brave Hector (he’s great though), and then got pitybroken twice by Jaffar and Elise. But before that, in my desperate attempt to grab orbs, I decided to grind some multichallenge maps that I didn’t do (mostly so they become my back up orbs reserve) with newly built Reinhardt. I got quite a lot of them and pulled a lot but still no Veronica in sight. 

Someone then pointed, that Reinhardt just prevented Veronica to come home. And it just, clicks so well. He literally cursed the orbs we got so Veronica stopped growing stronger and becoming more threat to him to win Ciela’s affection.

So the whole thing revolves around that basically. Reinhardt being smitten with Ciela and trying to coax her out of her fascination with Veronica. She’s so hard to get, why she’d bother? He’s powerful and can do a lot of things for Ciela. 

Of course, Veronica won’t take this slander. She catches his ploy right off the bat (this is actually a sequel to the resplendent Reinhardt comic I posted above)

Veronica would probably show her overprotectiveness (or even goes yandere herself??) to prevent Reinhardt swiping Ciela from her. Her PDA probably grows stronger than before and she just glares over him so many times.

Recently with how I use the units in my barrack again, and ended up S-Supporting Thrasir (since meta wise she’s one of the units I used the most recently) I thought how such change would reflect in the story. So I guess maybe Veronica and Reinhardt’s tension has gotten quite... unbearable to Ciela so she just ran away and hide behind Thrasir.

Thrasir just called these two people stupid. She probably made them wear the getalong shirt and hold hand together the whole time until they stopped snarking each other. Will they ever stop? We don’t know yet =))

Anyway.
