Fanfiction - Woman
Title: Woman
Characters: Thrisha (To those who don't know, wife of Sherril Camelot)
Genre: Introspective fic?
Summary: About Thrisha not knowing the truth about her husband's extended family
She did not know.
She had married into the Camelot family after only a short three months of courtship. The marriage itself was, however, a rather huge affair. But that shouln’t be strange, after all, her husband was the Minister of Foreign Affairs.
She never thought that she would join such an honorable family. Even though her own family was rather influential and powerful, many other bachelors turned her down because she was ill and sickly and they feared that she would never be able to bear their heirs. This family, on the other hand, thought little about it.
“Who said family had to share your blood?” Her husband had told her. As though to prove his point, he adopted a relative’s daughter (Whose parents died in a tragic accident according to him) shortly after their marriage.
Then she was gradually introduced to more from his family. An uncle who was an influential Earl and his pet cat (“Took care of me years ago!” He had said.) A half-brother who once worked in the mines (“Thank God I found him!”), a distant cousin from America (“Died horribly, murdered by some mad criminal…”) and a pair of twin relatives from the same country. (“Grandchildren of my grandfather’s niece’s cousin’s uncle.”)
It was a good life. Peaceful and serene. Even though the servants of the household seem a bit dead and she always wondered why some of the servants kept being transferred away, life was normal.
She never knew what her family’s business really was, she never knew her daughter had stained her hands in blood or that her husband instigated a war.
She never knew that people had suffered because of them.
She did not know that she was only there to make things look “normal.”
She did not know and she still doesn’t.

Question, my brain is dead and refuses to think. Which is the Noah who is the "cousin from America"? Is that the guy Kanda killed?

Yup, the "cousin from America" is Skinn.

I love Tricia's take on things, and Sherril's explanation for who all his family members are supposed to be. Tricia is perpetually oblivious, and you'd have to be, to be married to a Noah.
There are a few typos in there (like the use of capitals in the dialogue tags). But this is a creative choice for a focal character, and this fic makes me happy. <3

You aren't supposed to use capitals in dialogue tags? *confused
no subject
For example, these lines should be:
“Who said family had to share your blood?” her husband had told her.
(“Took care of me years ago!” he had said.)
The capitals should be lower-case, is all.
I wonder if Tricia will ever show up in the manga again...
no subject
I hope she does. It would be nice if she showed up again so we would know how she is while the rest of them are raiding the American Branch.
no subject
Yeah...she's probably not important enough to devote a scene too, but if there's any action at the Kamelot place again, maybe she'll get a cameo.
