In A Little Game of Cat and Mouse it's mentioned that Alicia has an unseen twin, Theodosia. May I ask if you have any idea of her character? I'm just very fond of Jonah's sisters.
Hi!! Thank you so much for showing interest in the littlest guy, Theodosia! I have many thoughts about her, which I probably will not be able to expand much upon in the main fic. So here are some of them!
Theodosia is the younger and more quiet twin sister of Alicia (or at least she appears to be quiet in comparison to her sister, which isnt a very difficult task to accomplish).
If Alicia is similar to Jonah in her relentless pursuit of asking questions and her cavalier attitude towards not letting mysteries remain unbothered- Theodosia is much like Jonah in the way they are both schemers. Most of the mischief Theodosia and Alicia get up to at the Magnus Estate is plotted by Theo. One of the more recent plots of dumping a bucket of water on their governess from a door frame was rigged by Theo, and the twins' victim was lured into the trap by Alicia. These plans often lead to Alicia taking the brunt of the blame for their pranks as Theo always arranges her to be the one in the center of the action. Alicia does not mind, however, because she enjoys having the credit that Theodosia is all too willing to give her.
Another reason as to why Theo is not often placed with the worst of the punishment from their pranks is because Theodosia is a rather sickly child. The reason why she was unable to attend the opening of the institute is because she was incapacitated with a fever and left to the staff of the house to take care of. Alicia wanted to stay with Theodosia instead of going to what she correctly assumed was to be a very boring party, but Theodosia made her go with the promises of ghosts and immortal beings attending the opening so Alicia wouldn't feel guilty- and of course so Theodosia could hear about the drama of the event, and about the very unlikely chance Alicia would run into a supernatural being.
If Alicia and Theodosia weren't limited by the gender roles of the time, I believe they would have made a fantastic lawyer and doctor, respectively.
Thank you so much for being fond of Jonah's sisters!! And for asking about them! 💛
