"Optimism is key!"

Basic Info

Bubbly, optimistic woman who had Zane due to a one night stand with a visiting solider. Athletic, but not smart.

  • She believes sheer willpower can solve anything.
    • She forced Zane into sports while he was a kid, as a means to "fix" his poor health. He hated it.

Trivia

  • Sieghild: "Victory" + "Battle."
  • "Ismine" is a fake name that I used for Victoria's pun. In a roundabout way, Siefgild Ismine is another "Victory Is Mine," like Victoria.

Philosophy

"Come on, you can do it!"

Anything's possible!

You can do anything if you put your mind to it! This is why she forced Zane into sports when she learned he was sickly, instead of letting him stay inside. Sadly, it didn't work, and only made Zane despise her. Despite this, she still believes. It would've worked if he kept going, surely. It just takes time!

Hobbies

Playing Sports

She likes all sorts of sports, but her favorite is Soccer (non-American Football). She also likes Rugby. She's not a huge fan of baseball, but is still happy to play, if someone invites her.

Camping

She likes nature, as well as the simplicity of it all, away from most technology.

Volunteering

She enjoys the sense of community, and it gives her a reason to hang out with others.

History

Main (Earth or Mars)

Sieghild was born to a rich family, but wasn't particularly good with school dropping out early to pick up a job at a local fast food joint by 16. She might've not made much, but she far preferred this freedom over struggling with school. Her parents were disappointed with her, but they shrugged it off, focusing their attention on their younger son, Victor, who was diligent enough to make up for Sieghild's "failure."

When 18, she met Janus Lune, a soldier temporarily stationed nearby. They had a one night stand, and through it, Zane Lune was born, well after Janus moved onto another location, him unaware of the child.

Despite the father being long gone, Sieghild was happy to have a son, always wanting to be a parent. She still wasn't working a great job, but "moved up" to retail, which paid minorly better. On her own, she struggles as a single mother, but her family begrudgingly gives her one of their old homes, so the child at least has that much.

Early on, her child is sickly, but she's ever-the-optimist, and decides to fix him through sheer force of will, spending tons of time with him, doing all sorts of things: putting him in the sun, kneading his body, feeding him all sorts of foods, etc. Nothing works, but she figures it just takes time. Once he's old enough, she signs him up for softball, which he hates, but is forced to partake in. Once he's 12, he finally puts his foot down and refuses to play, and they compromise by letting him play tennis instead, which he still hates, but not quite as much. By 14, he quits that as well, focusing on piano, which he actually enjoyed, after finding one during a visit to Victor's house.

AlignmentLawful Good

"Wh-What? 'Zane Lune?' ...I have a son?!"

Basic Info

Frightened, flightly ex-soldier, and unknowing father of Zane Lune, due to a one night stand with a visiting solider. Smart, but not athletic (contrasting with Zane's mother, Sieghild.

  • If he knew he had a child, he would've tried his best to return to Sieghild and be a good dad.

Trivia

  • Janus = god of beginnings, gates, and time. "January" is named after it. I don't know why I gave him this name.
  • In the Mars timeline, Janus is from Earth's moon. Perhaps that's why he's Janus "Lune." Who knows...

Hobbies

Making Ships in a Bottle

He finds it calming—while also being stressful? A stressful calm.

Gardening

Also calming, and he likes the idea of helping something pretty grow, and making the world a slightly better place.

Reading

Fanntasy and Sci-Fi are his favorites, but occasionally he likes a little Non-Fiction, especially about wars (despite him not liking his soldier life). Maybe he daydreams that his war stories felt as epic as the ones he's read about.

History

Main (Earth or Mars)

Janus was a pretty easily frightened kid with little backbone, and his parents enlisted him in the army in hopes it'd make him "man up." It didn't really work, but in his time at one of his bases, he met Sieghild Ismine, who was enamored with soldiers, and they had a one night stand. He left for a different location shortly after, unaware he'd soon have a son.

Potentially, later, he learns of his son, Zane, and tries to form a relationship to him, never wanting to be a deadbeat. It doesn't go the best, because Zane is difficult for just about anyone to get along with, and he finds Janus' squirreliness annoying.

Zane Lune (Silly Little Son!)

Sieghild

She loves him, but in a superficial way, without ever trying to understand his viewpoint on anything. She's proud of him, but deep down, wishes he were more sporty.


D'awww, don't be like that, my little sourpuss! You know you love your mom~! ♥

Zane

Zane resents his mother for her boundless optimism making his childhood a living hell. She forced him into sports, which caused quite a few asthma attacks as well as genreal ridicule by his peers. His pessimism and misanthropy stems from her being the opposite of those two things.


The literal "bane of my existence," given she is the one who birthed me.

Zane Lune (He's my Son?!)

Janus

Janus is unaware he has a kid with the one night stand he had while stationed in the South as a new military recruit, but if he did know about Zane's existence, he'd want to be an active part of his life. I like to think about scenarios where they do end up meeting. Janus is flighty and bad with his words but tries his best to connect with his son, while Zane is prickly at every turn.


I'm so sorry! I-I didn't know! Please, let's make up for lost times. Genetic records? You got it! I'll do one of those tests they advertise; just give me a few weeks!

Zane

Canonically, Zane and Janus don't know each other. Zane holds some resentment for his father, for helping create him while leaving him behind with his mother he despises, but his dislike for his mother makes him not capable of fully hating his father, since he believes leaving her was the right choice.


Unless you are rich, powerful, or providing me a list of genetic predispositions your side of the family has, you are useless to me. Do not waste my time, "father."
