Why does Trowa look like Quatre's dad?

[windwraith]

I've always wondered about this. there are an excessive number of crossovers about a preventer instutituted family reconstruction act where war orphans are supposably paired up with surviving relatives it is rather contrived but think about it, imagine if the DNA results came back and didn't say that the boys expected

Trowa looks like Mr winner is that why quatre likes him, we know Q was always struggling to get his dads approval, is that whay he was drawn to T?

and just to complicate matters more

Duo has the same eye and hair color as catherine, maybe he is her lost brother triton, not trowa.

does this strile anyone else as odd?

[Lunah]

Quatre has daddy issues, I quite agree. So he is naturally drawn to Trowa. -nods firmly-

Who probably doesn't realize it

But I never noticed that Duo and Catherine do have the same eyes. I'm still convinced that Trowa is actually Triton, because otherwise they wouldn't have given Catherine's backstory, but that is an interesting discovery.

[iceya]

Well, when you do also see Trowa's dad in the flashback, he DOES look an awful lot like Mr. Winner. =_=

[windwraith]

I don't think i remember a flashback with trowa's dad was that in eposode zero Or Endless Waltz?

[iceya]

Episode Zero.
Though I could be just on crack, I haven't read the damn thing in ages though it's sitting in amongst the boxes in my bedroom. >_>;

[windwraith]

Wish i could find a copy. is it just me or GW stuff is getting harder and harder to find in favor of 00 and the other series. The guy at best but told me season 2 DVD is going out of print and they aren't going to be carrying it any more. so sad

[jakfrost]

You see all of that gore on the walls right now? That's what is left of my brain after exploding from all of the possibilities that question brought about.

Well, people are often drawn to others who resemble their parents, though in this case I guess you are asking more why Trowa resembles Quatre's dad. We all know there was some sort of artificial assistance in producing Quatre and all of his siblings. It could be possible that someone in the lab wasn't as responsible with the original materials as they should have been.

Though, I have to admit, I was always wondered a bit more about where Quatre came from. He doesn't really have much of a resemblance to his father (and at the moment I can't recall seeing his mother before).

As to Duo and Catherine, if they were related, why/how did Duo end up on L2 and not on the same colony/Earth as Catherine?

[windwraith]

yes, quatre looks more like a peacecraft doesn't he makes me think there might have been a reason why Quaterene insisted on a natural birth instead of test tube like with the girls, perhaps something im-proper happened when she was visiting sanc and she needed a plasuable explination before her condition became noticable...maybe trowa was the testtube heir already in the works, but then they'd be half brothers and that would make 3+4 ackward so we can disregard that...

i suppose duo on L2 would depend on where the circus was when he got lost...or maybe he got misplaced in transit when the circus was moving and ended up in the L2 shuttle port by accident with no return to sender label.

[jakfrost]

Ah yes. The shuttleport. That would make sense. I couldn't for the life of me think of how they would get sooooo far apart. I mean, I guess Cathy could have joined the circus after being separated, maybe in the hopes of finding her Triton? But still, it'd be stupidly expensive for an earth-based circus to make regular trips to space for shows and L2 doesn't seem like it would be the best place to find people who would have money to spare (though that could be more of a fanon thing).

Oooo...naughty Quaterene! ;D At the risk of sounding, a bit creepy, I don't find 3x4 very awkward in that situation. The only reason why incest is so taboo is to prevent genetic inbreeding and the aversion to a sibling (or a sibling-in-everything-but-blood) is just a symptom of that behavior. Since Quatre and Trowa didn't grow up together, they've never had that association with each other and as they are both male, and barring even more advanced fertilization techniques, there won't be any inbred little ones to look after. Also, ~half~brothers. Not full. Keep in mind, this is the closest anyone will see me condoning incest of any kind.

[zethsaire]

Not to burst everyone's bubble...but Episode Zero pretty much says that Trowa is, in fact, Catherine's brother. Though Trowa's dad does look way to much like Mr. Winner.

And you can get a copy of Episode Zero here

Legally you can get it here, but it's freaking 60 dollars since it's out of print.

I once had a link to really cheap copies of the entire series redone in HD...but the link is gone, so maybe those are out of print too? I really do want to own the series someday legally, but it may not ever happen. Until then, you can actually find the remastered episodes here.

And you guys can knock me for downloading if you want, but it IS pretty much impossible to find anything GWing related.

I actually have copies of Ep. Zero, Blind Target, Ground Zero, Battlefield of the Pacifist, and the original manga, if anyone is having trouble finding them.

[jakfrost]

True but I know there are quite a few people who don't like using Ep Zero for whatever reason. And it is still fun to speculate. That's what every AU does anyway.

[Lunah]

Triton Bloom.

Wait, ugh, that would make Trowa's real name Triton. D: Also, isn't Catherine of Russian descent? I read somewhere that a director said he was Latin (ie Latin American) so how does that work out?

[poshu]

Finally, someone else brings it up. I always wondered... but eventually I think I settled on thinking Quatre's father was the typical adulterous politician. If you are willing to accept Episode Zero then Quatre looked strikingly like his mother, which leads me to believe Trowa is just some illegitimate child of his and therefore not acceptable to take over Winner Corp. as revealing him would reveal Zayeed Winner's shame/crime.

[zethsaire]

Now THAT is an awesome angle I'd never considered. But going that way Trowa would have had to be born on earth, because if he was cheating, he wouldn't have bothered to make a test tube baby.

[poshu]

I think he'd need the test tube baby because he needed a 'legit' male heir that the public would accept and not tarnish his family name. To that end I think he went on and on until he had one and then he was done.
