Random Bella Sara Thoughts #3: Edana and Jikin are related
So I was looking through the Bella Sara horse pages and while looking through the water horses these two stuck out to me. Edana and Jikin. Both are water horses and Edana is a confirmed hot blood while Jikin is a potential one. Now for some reason it never struck me that Edana was a hot blood as she only visually appears that way in the Magical Friends series. I’m used to her Baby Bella and Royalty versions. Here’s some pics for reference.
Now, back to it. The reason I feel they’re related. Well, hot bloods are already pretty rare. And it’s even rarer to see two hot bloods (well one isn’t confirmed but I’m kinda assuming he is) with a type of horse that would clash with the hot blood element. A water horse. Plus idk they kinda look similar but that might just be the way they’re drawn/the pose. They post have warm colored manes with similar colors and both have front legs with a fish tail where their rear legs would be.
So getting down to it I feel like these two are related. But they’re not siblings. Maybe at most cousins? Though they could more distantly related but for the sake of simplicity I would say cousins. I like to think that one of their grandparents was a water horse and the other a hot blood. I’m not sure about their parents individually but at the very least the hot blood trait was passed down to these two. According to lore Edana burned so brightly that it was hard for others to be near her because she would become too hot. She gave some of her magic to the fire spoofs which helped her cool down. So I like to think that Edana had much stronger hot blood powers compared to Jikin. I like to think he has the ability to light himself up and create flames, but these flames aren’t super hot making the water around him nice and warm instead of boiling hot like how it used to be with Edana.
I feel they’re acquaintances. They like eachother but don’t have much of a bond leading to a more neutral relationship between the two. I think this can be used to explain why they’re not mentioned to know each other. They may have a stronger relationship if they were in the same herd. However, I like to think while they were both born into hers Islandar, Jikin left to join herd Eleymn. Considering he and Lien are close friends I wonder if he left to be closer with Lien. They however are not dating canonically. I like to think Jikin has a huge crush on Lien but is scared to tell her. He also has a fear that he might hurt her considering she’s made out of water and he is part hot blood.
