No. Well, probably not. But I think I have a pretty decent guess?
My Jude post is going to take a little while longer, and once I put these pieces together it didn’t take much to make things fall into place, and turned out to be pretty quick to put together.
I don’t usually do outright speculation, I tend to dislike doing so. But this feels solid enough that I’m willing to at least mention it, and more than that its simply interesting to think about, so while we wait for Hiveswap: Act 2, I figure we may as well mull over this possibility.
So, humor me.
A. Claire is a pretty mysterious figure. She seems to come out of nowhere to shake up Homestuck’s core cast, and she seems to know more about the game than we ever confirmed for any other Guardian, barring Pa himself. Why does she seem so connected to the Cherub Key? How on earth did she paint a mural of the green sun??? What’s her deal!
There’s no precedent for a character quite like the mysterious actress, and seemingly no background profile that would explain how she knows what she knows. Except, of course, for the obvious one. The one we’ve overlooked.
Oh, absolutely. I speculated shortly, that she looks a biiit like a Roxy-Jane lovechild. But of course theres no pretense for that, and this makes a lot more sense!
Hm. I thought it was just me, so I didn’t feel inclined to say. But if you thought A.Claire looked a bit Lalondeian too, I think it’s worth mentioning. I think this jives with the fact that in a lot of ways, Roxy stole a bit of Jane’s role of Heiress–she was definitely under the Heiress’ tutelage to some extent.
So maybe it’s worth considering that, as the Baroness’ true heiress, A.Claire’s mutations are specifically in the mold of Mom Lalonde? Or lightly incorporate Roxy’s genetics in some way? This is downright WILD spec and I am not married to it at all, I’m just mentioning it because A.Claire does kinda strike me as both of them.
