(Sorry if this is too long) Baby BATTs headcannons :)

Derwin

-one of those overly calm kids

-never really played with other kids, only Katya and Amber

-easy baby who didn’t cry too much

-rarely cried/threw tantrums

-always kinda mature for his age

-the rare times he did throw tantrums they were WILD, hitting, biting, scratching, spitting, screaming, throwing things, everything. And then he’d just calm down, clean up and go about his day like nothing happened

-Raine was worried because of how apathetic/stoic he is

-lets Katya and Amber dress him up/put makeup on him

Katya

-drew on everything, even things she shouldn’t

-used finger paints on Edas crystal ball ‘to make it look pretty’

-wants to pet every animal she sees

-the most normal of the three

-would find small lizards and frogs then give them to Amber

-calm and doesn’t often throw tantrums but only does when Raine takes her art supplies

-isn’t really a tomboy however screams when anyone would put her in a dress/skirt

Amber

-the opposite of the others

-throws tantrums daily

-the most vampire-y out of the three

-bites a LOT of people (Eda thinks it’s cute)

-if it fits in her hand she *will* try and eat it

-absolutely adores Eda and is basically attached to her

-loves insects and bugs

-is one of those kids who casually walks around in a princess dress(when she’s in the dress she only responds to ‘Princess Amber of the boiling isles’)

-chews on literally everything

All of these are so cute and in character. Little Amber would walk around in Princess dress you're right.

So I’m a firm believer in “The BATTs are Raine’s kids” but one thing that always bugged me a little was the fact that Raine- who was willing to throw away the whole plan to kill Darius and Eber because Eda had kids, and who purposefully did everything they could to keep the people they loved out of harm’s way, like lying to Eda and leaving Amber on the airship during the DOU- was willing to let themself die in the forest with Eda when their kids were still in prison. And then I read this post by @icedmochasi

And suddenly it made sense.

Raine didn’t go after their kids because they thought their kids were dead.

Remember this line? Raine’s no fool. They know what happens to traitors. And to make things worse, Darius made it clear that the younger BATTs weren’t the ones he was looking for- meaning they’re disposable. For all Raine knew, Darius destroyed them right then and there- and if he didn’t, he was probably sending them off to be killed. Hell, if it were any of the other Coven Heads, they probably would have sent them off to die. Luckily, it was Darius, and he just plopped them in an unlocked cell.

But Raine didn’t know that.

And this just breaks my heart. Look at their expression when Darius teleports the BATTs away.

Honestly, I’d argue that this is almost the most outwardly distressed we see them in the entire show (with the exception of right after their capture in King’s Tide, when they cry out for Eda). They just look so shocked, so absolutely horrified. Eda looks alarmed too, but more in a “holy shit, did that just happen?” sort of way. Raine, on the other hand, looks totally devastated. That’s the face of a mentor/parent who just lost their kids.

Of course they were willing to kill Darius afterwards. Of course they were willing to die. They’re in shock, they’re heartbroken, and they’re probably absolutely furious. And they’re probably not thinking straight, hence why they didn’t fight Eda on it when she decided to die with them.

But then they learn that she has kids, and they throw everything out the window, because now more than ever they understand just how much her kids need her and how much she needs them. They understand because they’d do anything to be with their kids again right now, to have been able to save them or at least hold them one last time. They won’t let Eda make the same mistake they did.

Just…ouch.

Bonus because I can’t take anything seriously:

Darius: …and so after my mentor’s death, I started to become suspicious. I dug deeper and discovered some sketchy things about the Day of Unity. From there, I approached Eberwolf and started to plan. When we found out that you were causing trouble, we volunteered to try and “capture” you in hopes of intercepting you before the likes of Kikimora got to you. Any questions?

Raine: Yeah, just one. WHERE THE FUCK ARE MY CHILDREN, DARIUS?!
