Relationship Note on Roxana
On siblings - most of mine are dead except for Roxana. And she and I are as opposite as you get. I still love her, Gods help her pretty little head. She dresses me up for special occasions because if it isn't black leather I'm clueless. Wouldn't trade her for all the brothers and sisters in the world.

As the youngest of seven children, I can tell you that siblings can be both your best friends and your worst enemies. The number of times that Eleanor made my life miserable with her taunts are as innumerable as the times she defended me from Sarah Riggly, the prettiest, meanest girl in Apsfel Falls. My eldest sister Rhoda no longer speaks to me. Though.. she does not really speak to anyone. My brother Edmund is a fool. I thought he and I understood one another, but... the choices he makes are just unfortunate, hurtful and bad. Then there are the twins, Charlotte and Jessamyn, they always were inseparable, though these days they live on opposite sides of the land. Hannah took after father, always running and seeking and searching. She lives near the Telmarch and I do not think I've seen her since her wedding, nearly four years ago now.
In general I wish I were closer to my siblings. In a way I feel I already traded them away in part. I worked with my mother on all but Rhoda's marriage arrangements. Gods know more than one of them blamed me for matches that they did not appreciate, but went along with for duty.
If I have regrets... well. We all did what we had to for the family. That is what it means to be a noble. The most intimate of decisions is often made with an eye towards fiscal and political prosperity and has nothing at all to do with the heart. That is what my siblings did. It is what I did as well. I was blessedly lucky, however, to find that rarest of joys. The man I was to marry was one that I fell deeply in love with. It was not at first sight, it was strange and difficult and as any of our friends who met us those first few months, so very awkward. But as I gave up my resentment over my lack of choice in the matter, the loss of my aspirations to be godsworn... when I opened my eyes to see the man that I was married to... love followed swiftly and it is now something I am thankful for, daily.

There were times when I'd wondered what it'd be like to have a sibling, cause everyone else in my family had one.
Probably would've also tried to trade them at some point though.

Oh and if you could add a little summary as to the why you nicknamed her such, or why you feel it'd fit and be hilariously entertaining, that'd be great!

I suppose, technically, the Iron Guard are slated to take my brother. I receive nothing in return, really, except maybe exceptional pride in the fact that he is training to be one of the famed Watchman who keep our city safe.
Not that I'd turn down some magic beans after the fact.

In advance of my standing around and looking pretty, I request that all send me the nicknames they've used for our dear Thena. You can make up some too! Think of it as an exercise of creativity that I am sure Jayus will look fondly upon.

I have been asked several times to speak of what I saw on the battlefield.
Some of these I have asked a respite from, others I have answered simply and fully.
More than once I've come to settle and write these things down, or to ask a scholar to do so, and the words will not come. Other accounts will have to stand.

I’ll trade for Itsy. He’ll just have to stand around looking pretty though; I have an Order of Extraordinary Knights to haul boxes and get things off of high shelves.

The entries I have seen about people trading siblings have brought a welcome, if perhaps, momentary reprieve from the grief and sorrow that abounds.
And yet I am reminded that I would trade nearly anything for even a few days more with Nadine, for something different.
Sister, you are remembered with love and grief. Your son's return to us was one of the greatest gifts I have ever known, and I will do my best to support, guide, and love him.
(And yes, the page is slightly marred by some moisture)

Relationship Note on Vano
While I would never trade my brother for any thing in this world or any other, I am not sure that he would say the same about me. If I remember correctly, I think he might've turned me in to our parents for breaking a vase in exchange for a cookie, when we were younger.
Perhaps that trade value still stands. One sister for one cookie.
I doubt he appreciates any of this.
