Xiaolumi Family

Q: Who/What caused Bakari to become so deathly sick? Did something happen during the nine months?

A: You can thank the Goddess of the Void for this. *gestures to my armory of weapons* You can find your weapon of choice on my left. Minor jokes aside Vespy was already weakened and only just recovered upon awakening when he was being born. Nyxia took this chance to try and snuff him out but Istaroth intervened sending her own avatar to protect him until he was born. However the damage is sadly done and Teyvet will now once a month face a time when there is a moonless night(a new moon). During these new moons Bakari going be very weak and may even fall sick. This will be a big learning hurdle for the family particularly for his twin sister, Nalini particularly will have to learn this and it will create some problems as she will get jealous of her brother's extra attention.

A: Do the twins have strengths and weaknesses?

Q: Of course they do~! Vesperus is at his strongest during the night while his sister is stronger during the day. Solis draws a lot of strength from the planet's inner fire, so volcanoes and areas like Mare Jivari are her playground and doesn't suffer from extreme heat. Meanwhile Vesperus thrives in places like Snezhnaya and Inazuma, places rich in electro, hydro, and cryo. He does not suffer from sheercold and thrives in it and the darkness. Just getting hit with abyss energy triggers something the family calls "Shadow Bakari" which is interesting.  You actually got a glimpse of "Shadow Bakari" very briefly when Nyxia attacked him.

Q: How fast will the twins age?

A: A lot faster then a human would I'll tell you that much. It'll be at least at two to three times the speed thanks to that yaksha blood in their veins mixed with Phane's Legacy. However since they were conceived while their mother is still suffering the Gnosistic Seal they won't age as fast as their father did or their mother. By the time they reach Natlan they will have the bodies and minds of a 4-5 year old on their 1st birthday. And by their 2nd birthday they will have the bodies and minds of 8-9 year olds. This was inspired by an idea a reader suggested from Chinese mythology and I think it's a brilliant idea and it'll let you guys get to know the twins faster but not too fast. From my scientist side it does fit as animals mature far faster, so illuminated beasts and yakshas would be no different.  

Q: Will they control other elements besides what they are born with?

A: Actually yes, they will have 2 others besides the element they were born with as they get older. Bakari would have control over Cryo and Electro. As such Miko, Cyno, and Ei will teach him to use electro. Cryo he will learn to use with some help from unlikely sources such as Boreas. Nalini will be able to control Geo and Dendro. The geo control she'll learn with some help from Zhongli and her dendro is taught personally by Nahida and Alhaitham. Giving each twin a total of 3 elements. This has to do again to their mother's royal divinity.

Q: Which Moon Sister is Bakari the Reincarnation of?

A: This was mentioned before but for those that forgot, Vesperus is the reincarnation of the goddess, Sonnet. Sonnet, Aria, and Canon were the Moon deity sisters that killed each other during a calamity event that nuked the seelies into those mindless beings we see now. That event also stopped the lycanthrope races from being able to shapeshift. We don't know much about them, just that the moon functioned normally before shit hit the fan and one of the sisters' bodies became the moon that Bakari "Devoured" recently and replaced with his moon. For story sake I'm addressing each sister as the following..."Sonnet the Siren", "Aria the Seerer", and "Canon the Watcher" respectively. I'll let you guys think about why Sonnet was the one that got to reincarnate and was reborn a male. I'd love to hear your speculation. But Bakari has all of his powers from when he was Sonnet, and they are far stronger then that of Nahida and Deshret's powers. The closest looks I can think of for Sonnet is the Welkin Moon Sister.
