But in summary, Sahja and Nana support Veiss no matter what but they worry. Veiss basically took care of the both of them as a child and now that Veiss is grown and away they feel like they sort of missed their chance to be parents and now all they can do is be there if needed. And they will be.

Ume, their bio mom, ran as far as she could… until she collapsed and froze to death shielding baby Veiss until they were found by two overly curious wood wailers checking the border between Coerthas and the Shroud. (Perhaps one day she will have a design lol)

E-Sumi was kind of a paternal figure that Veiss was attached at the hip to for their childhood.

Veiss’s bio father was named Momiji. He was a samurai working with the Doman Resistance and died holding off ignorant ishgardians who took the auri seeking refuge as dragonkin.

Sahja is hard of hearing and Nhango is fully deaf from an accident that happened not long after they took Veiss in. The three of them mostly communicate together through sign and huntspeak in a way that is somewhat crude and vulgar lol you can tell they aren’t the ones who taught Veiss manners.

Closes my eyes bc I am reliably blunt and confused which is such a bad combo for a form of communication where tone doesn’t translate and I am so tired. I really admire ppl who spend the time and effort to be kind. One day I hope I have the energy to spare. Until then I need to not talk :pensive:
