How do you imagine Isobel and Darcy Daniels? Who do you imagine them interacting with the most? Apart from Beatrix.
I had time to think of this, like truly.
I want them to be triplets. Yes, it'll make the casting people's life harder yeah, but idc. Triplets, but not identical.
I imagine that if Bea was from Aster Dell and Rosalind did indeed save her and place her in Andreas' arms, it wouldn't make sense for Isobel and Darcy to be not have been saved in the same manner. So to me that implies they were not in Aster Dell when the explosion happened.
Whatever reason it may be (and if there's any ftws writer out there, I do think the simplest explanation would be best, they were simply out of town with one of the parents, Bea stayed bc her powers were acting up maybe?) I think them being out of the town implies a living parent/guardian too.
As far as they're concerned, Beatrix died in the blast. I'd like for it to be the mom who survived, simply because Beatrix grew up with just a dad, so to me it's a nice symmetry if the other two grew up with just a mom.
Isobel's got a light brown hair, but she dyes it platinum blonde. She's got Beatrix round eyes that can read into your soul. She's quiet and she's rational. Often too cold, Isobel (or Icy, i guess they're gonna call her. I don't like it) comes across as the mean twin, but she is not.
Darcy is the talkative one, she's got dark brown hair and Beatrix's round delicate face and a big, bright smile. She talks a lot and she's charming. Where Icy gives off all the wrong vibes, Darcy is warm and inviting and she lures you in and in.
Isobel, Darcy and Beatrix are the children of a blood witch and an air fairy. Beatrix and Isobel were born with "normal" powers, Bea is air and Icy is water. Darcy is a blood witch.
And Darcy is evil. She's got Beatrix's thirst for blood, but unlike Beatrix who got her own version of love - hand me down and a little twisted, passed down by a traumatized veteran with a bad moral compass, but love nonetheless - Icy and Darcy didn't. Their mom, the blood witch, spiraled badly right after Aster Dell and the supposed loss of her husband and third daughter. She's an extremist, she sided with Sebastian's quest for a while, but she's so extremist that her little group ended up detaching themselves from Sebastian Jr, because he simply wasn't as insane as his father. He wasn't willing to kill all fairies or to torture and murder at whim, just enough to achieve his goal.
Momma Trix wasn't there for that lukewarm garbage and she raised Icy and Darcy in the same mindset.
Icy's water powers, fairy powers, made for a fairy who had to hide her powers a lot in the middle of extremist people. Either they got weaponized (frequently) or just shunned and submitted to bigotry, sometimes from their own mother. Darcy was viciously protective of Icy, but as children who grow up in abuse, they both thought of each other having it easy. Darcy shouldered most of the expectations from Momma Trix and Icy most of the neglect.
One the introvert with the water powers and who learns really soon how to use it to harm targets her extremist people deems necessary, the other a blood witch with a thirst for cruelty that's unquenchable.
Icy sighing "Darcy... Again?" as she's got yet another doe eyed human standing in their living room, frozen in place as Darcy plays. Darcy's got a thing for figuring out what hurts, "tell me how much it hurts," she tells her victim, who can't move.
Icy cleaning up after Darcy, getting most of the bad reputation herself and don't think for a second her lack of excitement for murder makes her less deadly. She simply has different motivations, her sister being the central one.
And then in steps Stella, the princess of fucking Solaria. Stella, letter in hand with Isobel and Darcy Daniels written in it, who says she knew their sister, who's a fairy, who's the princess of Solaria, the crown that's blaming blood witches for Rosalind's murder.
Darcy widens her eyes, tearful and filled with hope (and hunger, but Stella doesn't see that), "you knew... You knew our sister? But how...? Beatrix died in Aster Dell when we were babies", Darcy who invites her in the house. Darcy, offering Stella tea and eagerly wanting to see pictures of Beatrix. Darcy who likes to play with her food.
Icy, leaning against the fridge, arms crossed to her chest, who not for a second wants Stella in their house, because she's the princess of bloody Solaria. She's bad news, wherever the princess goes, guards are surely to follow and they have skeletons in the closet. Icy, who makes the whole kitchen freezing cold and who's saying "You should leave, I don't believe you. You have some fucking nerve showing up here to use our dead sister to get to us," Icy who's a bad minute away from drowning Stella in her own tea, all the while Darcy glares at her sister.
"Icy, but she's got pictures, come look. Look at how Bea looks like us," she sounds so hopeful, she's got a hand open on Stella's back.
These are the Isobel and Darcy I want.

Which character from the series would you pair Isobel and Darcy with? 👀
each other Death and destruction :D
Idk anon, my ideal Isobel and Darcy have to fulfill the villain gaping hole that s2 left. We murdered four antagonists in one season, what a brilliant idea, and now we need people to serve that role.
Ideal Isobel and Darcy are sick and twisted and 4 shades too dark for Fate's vibe, but since now it's cancelled.... Well, free real estate.
In my head:
Darcy wants to be Beatrix. She wants to have everything Bea has, but in a deep fucked up level that goes beyond jealousy. Wear your skin like a coat type of thing. So I could see Darcy going after Riven, Dane and then finally Stella.
Isobel like a challenge and once Beatrix (who's ignoring all red flags from her 'sisters') takes the twins to Alfea and Sky promptly rejects her, too wrapped up in his own grief, also Sky wants nothing to do with Beatrix back from the dead summer project, Isobel fixates on him hard.
I'm going to stop typing now since I try to keep my tumblr at least less fucked up than my ao3, but you can probably guess I'd make the progression of these dynamics way way worse.
