Wanted to change his hair some
Sorry about Lonato
What’s in a Name?
So here I am completely misinterpreting everyone’s names all for the sake of headcanons. This is just for fun so please don’t take this seriously.
House Leaders
Edlegard von Hresvelg - Noble Shield of the Giant Eagle
Dimitri Alexandre Blaiddyd - Wolf Protector from the Goddess of Life
Claude von Riegan - Stumbling Little King
I love Claude’s name, I think it suits the story
Black Eagles
Bernadetta von Varley - Brave Bear
Caspar von Bergliez - Treasurer
Dorothea Arnold - Gift of God
Ferdinand von Aegir - journey, brave, sea
Hubert von Bestla - Spirit of Bestla (mother of Odin. Unless that’s actually Vestra)
Linhardt von Hevring - Lion Heart
Petra Macneary - Modest Rock
I don’t know what to do with the Black Eagles, send help!
They’re all mostly Germanic origins
I want to make Ferdinand’s name to mean ‘brave journey on rough seas’ but that would be a stretch
Is Petra a modest rock or is it that she comes from a humble island?
Blue Lions
Annette Fantine Dominique - Graceful Child of the Lord
Ashe Duran - Strength to Endure
Dedeu Molinaro - Guardian of the Mill
Felix Hugo Fraldarius - Happy Thoughts
Ingrid Brandol Galatea - Beautiful Man Made Woman
Mercedes von Martlitz - Swift and Elegant Mercy
Sylvain Jose Gautier - A Forest of Trees Will Be Added by God to this Leader of Armies
That’s it. Happy Thoughts Fraldarius is Felix’s new name.
Jose has a long name - this also means that Sylvain’s followers will multiply... so if I’m right and this actually happens, it would make sense why they still have an army
Mill meaning hardworking? Stable?
Ingrid was bred to be perfect - the imagined ideal woman that men make up and fall in love with
Golden Deer
Hilda Valentin Goneril - Battle Ready
Ignatz Victor - Fire of Victory
Leonie Pinelli - Lion, Pine? - Strength to Endure
Lorenz Hermann Gloucester - Laurel Warrior
Lysithea von Cordelia - Heart of the Water Nymph
Marianne von Edmund - Bitter Grace
Raphael Kirsten - God Has Healed the Followers
Hilda’s is actually ‘battle healthy’ but ready makes more sense
If you take the symbolism of a lion and the symbolism of pine trees, you can get ‘strength’ and ‘longevity’ so...
TL;DR
I tried to make them all sound like fancy titles but...
Happy Thoughts Fraldarius is Felix’s new name.
Petra is comes from a modest rock
Put in a certain way, Ashe and Leoni have the same name
I need help naming the Black Eagles
Summertime headcanons for the winter kids
Headcanon: The Faerghus kids all have freckles but they’re barely visible until they spend a few days in Adrestian Summer
Ashe
Ashe has seen the most sun out of all of them but he just can’t seem to get tan (not that he tries).
At Gaspard, he usually ends up going to the river dividing Faerghus and Adrestia because he likes the way the sun glitters on the water, but he respects Sir Lonato so he never enters the neutral territory in between the two regions where the Western church is located.
Having lived the farthest north of Faerghus, the childhood friends haven’t really seen harsh sunlight.
Sylvain
Sylvain actually tans quite well.
He has freckles on his nose and since he’s started wearing sleeveless shirts, he has very visible freckles peppered on his neck and shoulders.
At first, he does this because it’s too hot for jackets until he sees girls swooning over his exposed arms. He’s tempted to take off his shirt completely but Dimitri stops him (and Ingrid already told him off).
Dimitri
Dimitri also tans pretty evenly, but he gets sunburnt first.
He has freckles on the top half of his face and a few on his lips.
He refused to change out of his long sleeves and gloves out of propriety but started wearing short sleeved summer tunics when he almost passed out from heat stroke (he totally passed out).
Everyone makes sure he stays in the shade so he doesn’t burn.
Most likely to have tan lines.
Felix
Felix doesn’t have very many freckles except for a few specks here and there. He mostly has moles on his neck and back.
He manages to tan but not evenly.
He’s not averse to taking off his vest and popping open a few buttons especially for sparring. But he definitely needs to keep re-tying his hair because loose hairs always manage to slip out and stick to his skin.
Ingrid
Ingrid has full face freckles but a little darker around her eye area.
She’s embracing the heat because ice-cream but still can’t bring herself to show some leg skin. She’s been rolling up her sleeves though. Give her another week and she’ll be wearing short shorts.
Annette
Annette has full face freckles and some darker spots near her lips.
As the only niece of her baron uncle, he used to take her around different parts of Faerghus so she’s most likely to be used to warmer weather like Ashe.
Likes to make crushed ice desserts for the team.
Mercedes
Mercedes has the least but there are some around her eyes and nose.
She tans unevenly but that doesn’t stop her from enjoying the sun.
Unlike the other Blue Lions *coughdimitricough*, she doesn’t get dramatic in hot weather
Dedue
Dedue has faint freckles around his eyes and on the back of his hands from gardening. He doesn’t wear gloves when handling delicate plants as he can feel the soil better that way.
He still spends his time in the academy’s glasshouse conservatory despite being way too hot in there.
It’s currently winter time here in New Zealand which means I look pale sickly and my veins are purple. My tan is gone and I am looking forward to joining the Faerghus kids and drinking my hot coco, YES. Then in the summer, I will hide in my room, curtains closed and hissing at anyone who dares let the sun in.
For those of you on the other side of the world (or on the equator), please stay sun smart - wear a sunhat, hide in the shadows and remember: the sun is the enemy. I love freckles and moles but please take care of your skin health. Even Filipinos like me will get sunburnt.
Good news! I’m adopting Cyril
