Summary
Emma Lumiere had never meant for all of this to happen.
She was just a good sister substituting for her brother. Her dear, sweet brother Gustave, who, in a bout of panicked professionalism, had sprinted through a torrential downpour to avoid being late. Only to lose his footing on the slick cobblestones and take a humiliating tumble into the mud.
Of course, Emma had to step in. It was supposed to be a single afternoon of fencing drills. And maybe a little to "awe" Gustave's favorite pupil.
Emma just didn't know what world exactly she was stepping into.
She had no idea she was crossing the threshold of a beautifully unhinged fortress. A household where the siblings would gladly burn the world to the ground just to keep the shadows away from their youngest sister.
And she certainly didn't expect that a simple favor for her clumsy brother would end with her standing in a ruined, paint-splattered art studio. Holding a blade to the throat of the wildest wolf in the family: Clea Dessendre.

[or: everything that makes Ada be the way she is out in the open, every secret spilled and every action tied to something else. The type of detailed Ada backstory that Capcom won't give us]

Summary
The girl’s shoulders hunch again. An expression is battling on her face. Guilt again, and fear, and shame. And then faintly, in the soft turn of her cheek, commiseration. She watches Gustave for a long, sad moment, and then turns to a new page in the notepad. She starts writing something, and then stops, glancing furtively at Gustave before scribbling it out. On a new line she instead writes in big bold letters:
Maelle.
OR
Gustave is the local mechanic of Lumiere, an idyllic coastal village far away from the chaos and conflict of Paris. Struggling with his recent injury and the loss of a good friend, he's not quite prepared when a family moves into the abandoned Manor on the edge of town.
He's definitely not prepared for their children.

Summary
Maelle's soulmate string shows when she's 15. It's golden instead of white, and it floats all the way to the continent. Her first thought is that there must have been some mistake, yet it remains there, vibrant, wrapped around her ring finger.
Alicia's soulmate string shows when she's stopped counting the years, and it shines with golden chroma she's never seen before, pointing back to what was once her home.
