siblings & questions tag
tagged by ; maddie @veneritia tyyyyy <3
this one goes out to the imperial siblings from starborne who have the luck and dynamics of a sophoclean tragedy
who looks the most like dad? ;
of the emperor's three children, lucia looks the most like their father due to both her brown hair and possessing the famous blue eyes of imperial family members marked by the goddess.
who looks the most like mom? ;
cassandra looks extremely similar to her late mother, but their personalities couldn't be more different. there's a reason she's compared to a rose's thorns while her mother was a wilting flower. lucia's maternal half-brother, vinzent, looks more like their mother than either of them would have liked to admit.
who eats the most? ;
cristoforo. a big man with big meaty steak hands on a 90% protein diet to account for all the physical labor (hawking, hunting, jousting, etc.), but he'd still monologue about which wines pair best with which cuts.
who has been in the weirdest situations? ;
vinzent gets bonus points here on account of dragging everyone around him into weird situations.
who sleeps the most? ;
cassandra. she needs her beauty sleep.
most stable romantic life? ;
cristoforo without question. he settled down and married his childhood sweetheart while his siblings pined after some Very Bad Ideas.
worst habit of each one? ;
cristoforo was way too trusting for his own good and couldn't see the threats right in front of him. cassandra's confirmation bias is so bad she will literally make up information to prove herself right. lucia's confidence to the point of arrogance started a chain reaction resulting in a ton of deaths, culminating in her own. vinzent's need to "avenge" his father led to him hurting the still-living people around him who cared for him.
who's the most dramatic? ;
i thought this would go to cassandra or vinzent, but thinking about it...it's definitely lucia. she announced she was having an affair with her knight, planned to elope with him before he died, was pregnant with his child, and wanted her father to legitimize it all in one conversation. girl...
who had a weird phase? ;
all of them except cristoforo. legend says it's not a phase, mom.
best cook of the family? ;
their asses cannot cook
best memory together? ;
um, well, there's only a very brief honeymoon period, considering cristoforo and vinzent died when lucia was 10. and cassandra was never a fan of her stepmother's children.
worst memory together? ;
there's quite a few š
dream trip together? ;
the grave. hell. but seriously, you could not pay all 4 of them to stay in a room together for an extended period of time. not because of underlying animosity (though that is a factor) but because most of them wear very different masks around each other, and a situation like that would expose them.
would you rather not be able to shower for a month or have the same clothes for a month? ;
cristoforo and lucia were always the more outdoorsy siblings, and also the most popular, so they could get away with wearing the same clothes for a month and possibly starting a few fashion trends in the process. appearances matter a lot to cassandra and vinzent, they have very indoor cat energy in their youth, so i think they would suck it up and slather on the perfumed oils for a month just to wear the latest court fashions.
who's the older one? ;
cristoforo
role model? ;
cristoforo idolized his father, the emperor, and his maternal uncle, whom he was named after. cassandra puts her mother and graziella (cristoforo's wife and her childhood best friend) on a pedestal after they both died young. lucia had the problem of having too many heroes, and when one of them faltered from her vision of how they "should" be, she would move on to the next. vinzent had his father š¬
who usually has the worst ideas? ;
vinzent's ideas were so bad he laid the groundwork for an epic fantasy trilogy
a GIANT insect is on the wall, who's taking care of it? ;
cristoforo ofc. that's like the #1 reason he's there.
