That (except for one detail) seemed to me to be the obvious conclusion from the get-go. Not roundabout and complicated at all.Technic[Bot] wrote: ↑Sat Jul 10, 2021 6:09 pmI have always considered Kat origin to be a bit inconsistent at best. Both in comic and on he Ref sheet it is said she was bought by Eric, and that the only reason he was allowd to buy him was because she is infertile. Yet at the very beginning Eric said he bought him from Roderick and then at the end of the boat incident Eric says she was born into his family.
I mean at the end of the day it can go simply as: She was born into the family, then Rodrerick inherited her and once he realized she could not be bred sold her to Eric. Yet seems like a really roundabout and complicated story. It also implies Eric family do not only trade slaves but also actively breeds sex slaves...
Except for one detail: there are a lot of possible reasons why Roderick was willing to sell Kat to Eric, and we have no particular reason to assume any of them over another. Perhaps Eric just offered a good price, to save the sister he grew up with from an owner who didn't like her and didn't really see her as a person.
It's nothing particularly unusual, when a large and diverse estate is divided among multiple heirs, for there to be some trading among those heirs for different pieces of the estate...
