Talk:Sophie's Biological Parents/@comment-38197001-20190603162823

After much thought, I’ve decided one of them is Oralie. Originally my theories were Alina, Livvy, or Elwin, but I’ve decided none of those work.

First of all, it has to topple the Elvin world. This could mean many things, but the most obvious one that makes the most sense is a Councillor. They aren’t allowed to have kids, and have made it clear they don’t like the Black Swan. They are figures for the Elvin world, to hear one of them has a secret as big as this would be a huge scandal and make the Council look really bad. Oralie is a Councillor.

Second of all, Oralie was one of Sophie’s theories. However, she was never disproven. This is major foreshadowing. It’s so briefly mentioned that the reader forgets, and since everyone else was disproven (except Lady Gisela) it’s assumed she was also disproven. But she wasn’t, and that was definitely not a mistake. Shannon knows exactly what she’s doing.

Third of all, Oralie has always been very caring of Sophie. This might not mean anything, but it’s still a piece of evidence. She’s always seemed slightly wistful around Sophie, (wanting to be part of her life) and is always eager to help the Black Swan.

There you have it. Why I think Oralie is Sophie’s mother.
