* Popps up out of the water*

I HEARD YOU WISHED FOR QUESTIONS, SO HERE I AM, WITH THEM 🗣️🗣️🗣️

SINCE WE ARE BACK IN SYNDICATE BABY, lemme drop some questions:

• What are Annette's opinions on her oh-so-dear (sarcasm) son-in-law Jacob Frye? I mean, I remember seeing you awnsering about Evie's opinion on Dottie, I would like to know the other side of the table. lol

• Could we have some nice curiosities about babies Eva and Robin? I'm soft for them bc they are two patooties who are so kind, they deserve the world 🥹🤲🏽

• Does Dottie have associates she has relations with? (Historical or not lol)

• Does Canon!Dottie has friends with other OCs? (I read she has a dear friendship with a certain journalist lady BUT I am curious if she had more people she held in great regards)

• This is more in regards to Unity BUT can we get some more bits about Colette and Arno's Family? I heard you talking about one of their kids and I'm really curious to see what do you envision for their children and descendents :3

(if my memory doesn't fail me, one of their descendents is a Templar on Dottie's time? I remember reading about a "Victor Dorian" or I am delulu)

• CAN WE GET MORE ABOUT LUCIA'S DYNAMIC WITH THE AUDITORES?? 🥹 I know a bit of her with her beloved Federico BUT I would like to know more about her relationship with the other Auditores 👀

(I have another one but I will send separated bc it is something more specific)

Hope you don't mind the question spam!

Hello Hello @aiza-luna <3 thank you for answering my request for an ask and most important of all, thank you so much for indulging me on Syndicate. Sometimes I think I have spoken so much about it that people there might be nothing left to talk about lolol (and they would be so wrong. so wrong lololol).

And do not worry about spamming with lots of questions! When I have enough mental spoons to answer, I am always glad to do so <3 So, lemme tackle all of these. Buckle up because it’s going to be a long one.

Annette’s opinion on Jacob. Let’s start by saying that this is an hypothetical one, because she never met Jacob, not as Dottie’s intended or husband, at least. But I can very much tell you that Annette would have not liked Jacob for Dottie, not one bit, and this is partially due to the different stations Dorothea and Jacob belong to, and partially because Annette would have thought Jacob incautious, deranged and a potential source of trouble and danger for her daughter. She might have admired the guts he had in going head to head against Byron, out of the enormous love that Jacob has for Dottie, but she still would have not appreciated him. At all. Between you and me, Crawford was far more reasonable than Annette in terms of this. Annette is one hell of an helicopter parent, and one of the many reasons as to why Dottie’s emotional growth was kinda stunned and she was far more immature than she ought to be.

Eva and Robin are the darlings of the Starrick-Frye household, most definitely because between the six of them, they are the calmest and the sweetest of them all (Lily and Uriel are always ready to throw hands to whoever would dare to speak ill of them and Gabriel is more than ready to post a very detailed defamatory article about whoever wants to hurt his brother and sister). They are also the least involved in any Assassin-Templar conflict , which makes them actually civilians(not that it served them any good, considering the tragedy of 1888, but eh). Anyway, Eva and Robin are considered the artists of the house: Robin’s watercolours are the joy and pride of Jacob, who keeps all his artworks in his workshop at Dover, in the ancestral house of the Starrick, where they all reside after the events of my story. Also, Robin is a wanderer, and together with Gabriel, they have traveled for two years in Denmark and Sweden, where Robin had the chance to draw all sort of beautiful landscapes. Eva, instead, has inherited Dorothea’s voice, and she loves to sing to her siblings and to her children, but she is too shy to do so in front of others, and differently from her mother, she didn’t want to make a career out of it, preferring remaining at home (which makes sense, considering, again, what happened in 1888). She is also a very good seamstress, something that she picked up from Elinor Rebecca Morgan, another dearest friend to Dorothea, and she actually loves to sew for her entire family. It helps calm her nerves.

Dottie has PLENTY of historical associates, some that I actually quotes in the story and some that are just present in my story bible :) Dorothea, because she is such a huge bookworm, has woven several epistolary relationships with various author of the time (which also happen to be some of my most favourites). I dare say that the most significant relationships at the time were between R.L. Stevenson, to whom she spoke aplenty of Byron and his adventures at sea before he joined the Templars (and I HC in my story that these tales would later inspire Stevenson for the character of Captain Flint - which is just a huge inside joke with myself because Byron’s FC was actually James Flint in Black Sails lol); Another important one is J. Barrie, though she would meet him later in life,in 1904, after she brought Gabriel and Uriel to watch the performance of “Peter and Wendy”. This correspondence and friendship would be born thanks to Gabriel, actually. He fell so in love with the play that he pleaded his mother to meet the person that wrote it, and we can say that after meeting Mr. Barrie, Gabriel decided to become a writer. The third one was Lewis Carrol that Dorothea contacted while pregnant with Emmett because she had grown immensely fond of Alice in Wonderland, and would often read it to both herself and unborn Emmett, to escape the pain she felt in not having Jacob by her side during such a delicate time nd all the trauma she had for what was happening during the Templar- Assassins War. Also, thanks to her mother’s connection, Dorothea was also in contact with Hans Christian Andersen, whom she meet in her childhood whenever they traveled, accompanied by her mother and Byron, to visit the branch of their family that resided in Köpenhamn and later on, she was mentored and couched in Operatic singing by Johanna Maria Lind, the Swedish Nightingale, and she maintained a respectful friendship with her until Lind’s death, in 1887.

mmm Currently speaking, Canon!Dottie only OC friend is indeed Magnolia, Crowie’s beautiful baby girl and my own fictional goddaughter, and they are as thick as thieves :D She is going to be featured in my story, as agreed with Crowie, because Magnolia is Gabriel’s mentor and her daughter is actually Mel, the beautiful girl that Emmett is having a tryst with in Chapter 3 of ITHOTM. Crowie and I have our fun writing together, and I can definitely say that Dorothea adores Magnolia to bits. TO BITS. She is ready to sic all the Templars on whoever is looking at her funny lolol That being said, I am always happy to have her other OCs friends :)

Now, onto Unity! :D

Colette and Arno’s family! So, I envisioned, a long while ago, that Colette and Arno would have only one child, one daughter, Aimée. The reason for this is that Colette almost died during her pregnancy, and despite the relief they all felt once they were reassured that both Colette and Aimée were in stable condition and they both would be ok on the long run, Arno was ADAMANTLY against Colette carrying another one of his children. They both wanted to have at least three children, but after that nightmare, Arno was not having any of it (and that was probably the very first time he and Antoine were in absolute agreement over something). So Aimée would grow up to be an only child, pretty much like her father, but she would be spoiled and adored by her aunts and her uncle (plus, she got plenty of cousins to play with thanks to her Aunt Dorlé and Uncle Mathias eheheh). And no, your memory doesn’t fail you: Victor Auguste Arnaud Dorian is infact the Templar that joined the British Order during Dorothea’s time (a bit earlier than Dorothea though, considering that he is Byron’s pupil), and he is Aimée’s youngest son. his story is a rather sad one, because he was born in a family of Assassins, but due something that happened in his family - kinda influenced by Jean De Beaumont, nonetheless- he decided that he wanted nothing to do with the Assassins’ cause and actually found a safe haven in London, where he would be recruited into the British Order by Byron himself. (thank you for giving me the opportunity of speaking of my babbus from Unity. I so rarely get the occasion :) )

Now onto Lucia and her relationship with the Auditores!

Lemme start by saying that Lucia is a little shit. Or rather, she becomes one once she starts hanging out with Claudia. She is always dutiful, always kind, but fml, she starts to live her life to the fullest, especially once she starts her training as an Assassin under Claudia: they are just two little shits together who loves to give Federico an heart attack lolol. Also, Girl Power to the extreme, because I said so. Now, Petruccio and Lucia are really close, if anything because Fiammetta, Lucia’s sister, is Petruccio’s intended, and may God have mercy on his soul, because Fiammetta’s name wasn’t given to her only because of her auburn hair, but also for her exuberant personality and short temper. Lucia is much calmer than Fiammetta, pretty much on the same level as Petruccio, and they both like to enjoy quiet time together, whenever the rest of the family is too busy being too chaotic. Now, Ezio instead is a bit of a conundrum for Lucia, because all his gallivating kinda leaves her with a bad taste to her mouth, and she probably likes to tease him that he is going to have more descendents than Gengis Khan, if he keeps having all those affairs. They like each other though, even if sometimes Lucia thinks that Ezio can be a bit too intense.

Once more, thank you for indulging me and giving me the chance to talk about my darlings babbus. I am truly grateful for that <3
