Jenna. Looks. AWESOME. :love: Like your drawing of Ivan, this is now my headcanon image for adult Jenna. I'm just hoping Camelot doesn't shatter it, because I will be sad. D:

Also, I don't think I have you on devWATCH. I am rectifying that now.

This is also my head cannon image. I do so love this design.

Still wondering why Jenna wasn't living with her son. . .

My headcanon says that Isaac and Matthew (and Garet along with Tyrell, and possibly Karis parttime) went to go live at the Lookout Cabin for an extended training session. Isaac had to monitor the situation around Mt. Aleph anyway, and since Matthew's element is the same as his father's, it made more sense for Isaac to be the one to train him. Jenna visits the cabin sometimes, and likewise Isaac and Matthew visit Kalay every now and then, but for the past year Matthew has been living in that cabin to further his training. We see both Isaac and Matthew returning from a trip in the very beginning of the game, so it's likely that they were both returning from a weekend stay in Kalay, I think, before returning to the cabin to continue their training/monitoring.

As for why Jenna doesn't live with them, well, the cabin is small, and Garet and Tyrell also have to live there -- not to mention the fact that Isaac, Jenna, and Matthew no doubt have a house in Kalay, and someone has to stay there to keep an eye on it. Plus, Jenna probably has a job of her own (aside from housewife).

At least, that's what I think.

Hmm I like this better than my explanation that Mathew was a product of drunken shenanigans.

Now, here's the kicker why the heck don't their parents try to find them after the eclipse? You can't tell me they didn't notice. (Unless they do later in the game, I'm at apollo assent or whatever it's called so I don't actually know the ending yet.)

My personal head cannon has Issac go look for them (Garet is monitoring mt Alph. Meanwhile Jenna, Ivan, and Mia are helping protect people from the eclipse. Issac is ambushed by Alex's, sorry Arcanus's minions. He's more powerful, but they have numbers. Felix saves him because Felix has been chasing down Alex/Arcanus and that's why we haven't seen him since the last game.

The two earth adepts regroup with Piers (who has been investigating the Eclipse) and his Jail-bait (what's her name Nowel? I dunno.) They then start looking for the kids.

Ugh I'm so irritated we didn't see more of the other characters. Sheba and Felix are barely mentioned. Piers was, but I kept MISSING him he was always at the ports I visited. I kept thinking whenever people talked about Piers or the Lemurian's Piers would get a cameo but NOOOOOOO, and then he sails off with jail-bait minor character.

I think they do. I mentioned it in another fic I wrote, but basically I feel like if Matthew is Simba, and Isaac is Mufasa, then Flint is definitely Zazu (because the way Flint was sent to watch over Matthew was highly reminiscent of The Lion King for me). Unbeknownst to Matthew, during the time before the Grave Eclipse Flint secretly reported back to Isaac, letting Isaac know how his son was faring. I think Djinn are the messenger pigeons of Adepts, therefore; because they can travel rather quickly, and because they can talk, they're used to pass messages rather than writing out lengthy letters (I feel like this is partially supported by how Pewter went to go fetch the kids for Laurel). However, when the Grave Eclipse spread, it cut off Djinni communication; Flint could no longer travel easily through it like he could before, because the darkness was too strong. This sent off warning bells to Isaac, but unfortunately, he could not leave his post at Mt. Aleph to go look. Of course, Kraden could always still send letters, but that form of communication is increasingly slow, though reliable.

In any case, Jenna is the one who ultimately goes to look, because . . . well, that's in the fic, haha. It'd be even more TL;DR to explain it here.

I like your headcanon here! 8D

I was also hoping that Matthew has a Mars adept sister or brother. It would make sense why Jenna stayed in Kalay. :D

Maybe his Mars Adept sister can join when Alex manipulates his bb boy Amiti into joining in him GS4.

I mean, because I could see that happening. =|

I really must read this fic, and get off my but and finish mine.
