Admin Mawile: (*・∀・)ノ゛
Shuu:
-As the youngest, Shuu would have a lot of pressure taken off of him. I imagine that, like with Reiji, Beatrix wouldn’t care too much about her younger son, and Shuu probably would have been allowed the freedom he got in canon. Without the whole “first son” issue, his friendship with Edgar could have gone very differently, too. Overall, I imagine that this Shuu would be in a much better place, mentally, than when he’s the eldest.
Reiji:
-Since a lot of Reiji’s character has to do with his jealousy towards Shuu as the eldest, I imagine that Reiji would be very different in this situation. Not only would he have had the attention that he wanted from his mother, he never would have had to be Shuu’s second best. Reiji would probably be much less jealous and bitter overall, but I would picture that he’d have his sights on the position of heir… and be willing to do anything to get there.
Ayato:
-I hate to say this, but if he’s not Cordelia’s oldest anymore… then he’s probably going to take Laito’s place. The lack of pressure to be the best would end in a pretty different personality, and the sexual abuse would probably result in a mindset more like Laito’s. I’d have to really think about how Ayato would react to an upbringing like that, but it’s definitely an interesting prospect. A whole different kind of abuse would likely change him completely.
Kanato:
-For the most part, Kanato would be stuck in the same position he was in canon. As neither Cordelia’s oldest, nor her chosen toy, he’d go forgotten and ignored pretty much the same as what actually happened. I don’t see much of a change in him in this Au, save for his relationships to his more affected brothers. Since Laito would be assuming the position of Cordelia’s eldest, he’d probably be the one that Kanato treats more like a big brother.
Laito:
-As Cordelia’s eldest, Laito now takes the place of the one that she’s pushing to be the best and surpass her rival’s heir. Laito would have had the same “be the best at everything or I have no need for you” treatment that Ayato got, and a whole lot less of the sexual abuse that made him such a pervert. This Laito would probably be much more closer to his true self, and might not bother with a facade of happy-go-lucky cheer to cover up his real feelings.
Subaru:
–Oh boy. As the oldest son and Karlheinz’s heir, Subaru would have a massive amount of pressure put on him. Much like Shuu in canon, he’d be expected to study constantly and have his personality crushed in order to be a better heir. However, assuming that nothing changed with Christa’s situation, he’d still have all of his canon issues, self hate, violent tendencies, and twisted self image on top of this. This Subaru is likely to be an absolute wreck, honestly…
