Ysela obvi trains under Estinien for a long while and eventually goes on scouting and hunt missions together. Her nigh-unmatched ability with the spear and unique use of a shield makes her popular with Ishgardians, since she strikes a similar silhouette to Halone. Many temple nights, lords and ladies have tried to court her, but to little effect. Having learned how to calm herself despite Nidhogg’s influence on her, her disposition as an adult is eerily tranquil and stoic. Tataru eventually seizes the opportunity to market Ysela as a hero in her own right, although she's definetly awkward under the spotlight.

I still have a ways to go to develop Y'onah more, but as of right now she's absolutely the more traditionally girly of the two. She's often seen with a Shiva-essence Carbuncle close by: an heirloom necklace from Jae'si enchanted to summon the Carby for protection whenever worn. She's a pictomancer and artist by trade, picking up traditional Sharlayan and Ishgardian education similar to her mothers. Unlike her sister, she revels in the attention she's afforded, often wearing frilly and glamorous dresses of Tataru and Jae'si's design.

I'm actually sad there's not formally a time skip in canon because I'd love to develop them more as actual adult characters along with the actual story.

After a brief stint in Sharlayan they formally settle down in Dravania with the kids, within easy traveling distance of the Zenith and Idyllshire aetherites. They often travel to and from Sharlayan and Ishgard via aetherite for schooling, training, and socializing so neither of them feels too secluded.

Jae eventually takes both daughters to the Steepe to be formally recognized as Dotharli. While neither was formally recognized as prior Dotharl in a past life, Ysela's connection to Nidhogg was clearly noted. Both are taught by Jae about their clan, and Sadu respects her enough not to allow any funny business among any in her clan with respect to Jae's daughters.

Probably either Ysayle, Yotsuyu, or Venat in that order.

Jae obvi had legitimate feelings for Ysayle and her death felt undeserved and unnecessary in the grand scheme of things (I don't care what repercussions DSU implies) and would love a world where she can see the fruits of her own labor. I actually have an au where she lives and still play with the idea of making it canonical (despite the mess it would create with Jae and Esti's already messy polycule).

Jae doesn't have a particularly close relationship with Yotsuyu, but she always regrets the way her story ended. Both are victims of abuse,
but Jae turned out the way she did due to the love she revieved from others. Despite all of Yotsuyu's wrongdoings, Jae still wanted the opportunity to pay those kindness forward to someone who could've needed it. Her death felt all too short and undeserved, and it vexes Jae even to this day.

Venat's demise feels the most tragic in Jae'si's eyes. To my understanding, Venat was the only one of the Ancients not to rejoin the lifestream, effectively gone in every sense of the word. Had Jae'si the ability, she would at the very least try to bring her back into that cycle so that she could see the fruits of her labor. She deserves to see the result of her actions bearing not just strife and indifference, but community and love among the people of Etheirys. An edit to canon I might make in the future is keeping a shard of her essence in some form or fashion within the shards of Allegoria Jae'si uses for her weapons, as I feel Venat deserves at least some level of reverence as Azem does.

She hasn't made mention to either of her partners that the volatile essence and subsequent overuse of her abundance of aether prior to Endwalker has potentially shortened her lifespan. While she expelled the majority of excess light aether she accumulated on the First, it had permanently altered her physiology enough to now have what is akin to permanent Light Aether sickness. The illness would, after a time, slow the pace of her heart and brain, manifesting symptoms comparable to Alzheimers.

Y'shtola is smart enough to have pieced things together, but at present time, hasn't brought the problem up. She figures Jae'si will speak on it when ready, and would just like to spend her current days happy with her family. Part of her motivation for researching universal shard travel is to research the latent Aether on the First more carefully in order to produce a cure.

Estinien and Jae'si go at it constantly, although a lot of times it's over frivolous domestic things (Esti tracking mud in, Jae being overly jealous/nosy, etc. Otherwise, nothing particularly serious that doesn't just result in screaming for an hour or hate sex later.

Y'shtola and Jae'si had to get over a lot of barriers with how they go about their relationship. What few arguments they have had together, they've been in regards to things like Jae's coddling of Y'shtola's disability, or talks about who would carry their child, have been proper serious arguments. They had to work through their relationship at times but it made both their love for each other more sincere in the end.

With 'Ysela' it was entirely Jae'si's idea. She's the type of parent to try to come up with a super 'unique' name and settled on a partial anagram of 'Ysayle' in hopes Estinien would like it.

With 'Y'onah', despite Y'shtola not being incredibly in touch with her tribe, she still preferred a name in keeping with their traditional conventions. She would not say so outright, but Jae'si picked up on her tells enough to gather that's what would make her content.

Between both their last names, Jae'si opted to have both her daughters keep the surnames of her respective partners (Ysela Varlineau and Y'onah Rhul). 'Malheur' is not Jae'si's birth surname, and so it didn't feel right to have either child take it.

Yep! I want to eventually have them involved as a sub in for Jae'si in the story at some point. Only problem is Ysela and Y'onah are only 7yo and 1yo respectively by the beginning of Dawntrail, so they can't really do much unless there's eventually a MSQ timeskip. Ysela would already be learning from Estinien to be a dragoon, but given her nature as both a prodigy and a rebel, is already putting her own spin on the job. Tentatively, this job is called a "Templar", a heavily armored spear and shield wielding knight (taking heavy inspiration from the FFTA job of the same name as well as FFTA's version of dragoon; dragon breath and all). Y'onah will eventually by a pictomancer, although given she's just a baby a lot can change with her. She'll mostly be carried around by Jae on vacation while her wife does MSQ stuff with the WoL.

Yeah actually! Not a ton but at least a lil of his backstory. He trained from an early age as a wood-warder in a forest (or jungle, that part of the map isn't fleshed out in game yet) relatively close to Dalmasca. He was an incredibly prodigal archer but didn't care much for being a warder, and would constantly get scolded for goofing off. Around the viera village his group defended, he would always hear a young viera a little bit older than him singing on certain nights, and he would often leave his post to go listen.

They eventually discovered he had been listening from the treeline and they eventually met and became friends. He obviously wasn't allowed in the village, but would lie in the outskirts, listening to his friend sing and giving them gifts and regailing them with stories from outside the village.

Unfortunately, an unforeseen raid on the village (or natural disaster, I don't know yet) would see his friend's tree-home catch flame while he was away. While he tried to go attend to their rescue, his wood-warder group had him tend to more immediate matters in the village at the time. They passed before he could get to them, and he deserted his village soon after.

His name, Falsetto Farin, is in reference to his favorite thing, which from what I understand is a naming convention for lone viera. 'Falsetto', for the person he first loved, and 'Farin' meaning 'gone' in Icelandic (the origin of the accent viera have in most FF lore). As an adult he's a wisecracking, jovial bard, but he always carries that weight and pain, easily visible on his face by those close to him.

It's fairly close between Jae and Y'shtola but they both beat each other out in different ways such that I can't say one way or the other.

Jae grew up a heavy reader and a theatre kid, so she's a freak in the way a lot of fanfic writers are. Like, her capacity for creativity in that area far exceeds what she might willingly be able to actually do in person. Y'shtola is dirtier in a more traditional sense, in that what she will suggest or do exceeds the lengths Jae'si might initially think to actually do, at least at first (S&M play, exhibitionism, etc.) It cannot be understated that these are still very small margins of difference and they are both very much absolute degenerates who do things like marking each other in public or cold/heat play with magic resulting in light burns or bruises. By comparison, Estinien is vanilla as hell by comparison and thinks they're both absolute batshit crazy but still keeps up a respectable amount.
