Some midnight musings...

[everlastingsoul]

I was thinking about this several days ago, but I never wrote it down.

Anyone that's played Suikoden V will have noticed that Jeane's hair changed quite drastically from Suikoden IV to V -- namely, from silver to pink.

Well, the royal family of Falena has notably silver hair. At first, I dismissed it as just Arshtat and the hero, but then I began to think that Haswar's hair wasn't because of age ... and then Sialeeds clinched that by stating that her hair was dyed.

So we know that the Falenan royal family inherited their rare silver hair from someone.

Jeane, maybe? Wouldn't it make sense? If someone were to see Jeane with her silver hair, they would start asking her lineage, which would be ... quite ... awkward. So she dyes her hair while she's in Falena...

Now, where do the Lightfellows and Culgan come into the picture? Well, note that Wyatt, Chris, and Culgan all have silver hair. We know from Suikoden V that the "deadwood" princes are very much useless in Falena, and that they are "only useful for marrying off" to foreign countries. So who's to say that past princes in Falena weren't married off to nobles in Zexen and Highland?

By this theory, the Prince would be distantly related to the Lightfellows and Culgan.

And Jeane was the ancient ancestor of all of them.

... Yeah, I'll be quiet now. *shuffles off*

Helmut also had silver hair...and that was going to be the basis for a fanfic involving him and a certain Zexen family. 'Cept I haven't had a chance to write it.

And Helmut's also a noble of sorts... At least, I believe he's considered part of the Imperial Faction.

... Geez, I've already forgotten the names of the factions in Tactics.
