I am reworking their backstory slightly (by that I mean I did and I’m too lazy to write it in my card as I need drawing assets) — but part of that is also at least *knowing* what Bya’s parents would look and act like.

I think I drafted a design for his mother before but I kind want to redo her as I’ve changed the role she plays in his life (instead as of being an active part, I’ve decided to kill her off when he was young, which fits much better into canon and what he says regarding his family).

I know that Byakuya literally HAS to inherit his eyes and hair colour from his mother, just by genetic predisposition — which I think is technically possible, albeit unlikely, through genetic recombination (another fandom interpretation was some kind of albinism, and although it’s a smooth explanation I don’t think it’s intended — especially as he’s intended as a dirty-blonde, not platinum). I like to think he has his father’s jaw, nose, and general body type though.
