referenced after john everett millais' "the two princes edward and richard in the tower"

silvia and cesare are nestled smack between two extreme ends of the mommy issues spectrum, both managing to grow extraordinarily well-adjusted. from early childhood, the twins latch onto each other to navigate shaky parental relationships, an unstable older sister, and a volatile court. this relationship ebbs when cesare is taken on as their grandmothers protege, and silvia adopts the notion that its up to her to maintain peace among her family. both twins fulfill a littlefinger role, but silvia does so out of what she believes is the goodness of her heart

cesare has the healthiest view of their birth mother. that is to say, he could not give less of a fuck about orchidee. in his mind, if she doesnt care about him, why should he bother thinking about her? silvia lags behind him in this regard. she keeps a respectful distance and would never deign to intrude on orchidee or make herself a nuisance, yet feels a deep sense of curiosity and compassion toward her. if orchidee and seelie ever manage to leave lafossa, i think silvia will be the one to facilitate their means of escape. thanklessly, from the shadows, telling herself that shes doing the right thing

her being a goody two hooves is kinda built into her DNA. her horn and hooves are based off of angelite :P

so, anyway, heres silvia and cesare, two normies against the world. there will be a day when cesare wont allow his sister to hold so tightly to him, so i hope she isnt taking it for granted
