Description this was only supposed to be a sketch... 

valka and cedric were raised by an emotionally neglectful father and no motherly figures besides their aunt. valka's mother died giving birth to him but five years later, odin had fallen in love with a human woman that he clearly intended to marry and have her become valka's stepmother. she gave birth to cedric, though prone to getting very sick in childhood fell ill once more and passed away a few weeks later. in life, odin had noticably favored valka over cedric yet neither of the boys much had much of a relationship with him other than 'the man we live with that we are forced to tolerate'.  their father no longer cared about either of them or the nation like he once had, he only had been attentive for himself and his image throughout their childhoods.

cedric was more or less ignored by odin unless their aunt or allies came to visit, then their father let cedric wear valka's old clothes. valka was simply odin's pawn and student until his father's accidental demise when valka was 41.

the boys were polar opposites in personilty since anybody could remember. valka was naΡ—ve, agreeable and sophisticated. cedric was well-read, spiteful and introverted. odin could easily manipulate valka, cedric he sometimes had to threaten. valka didn't understand odin's hatred for his half-elf brother until he witnessed odin lay his hands on cedric for the first time in cedric's life. it lead to cedric swearing he'd kill their father at 8 years old. and a long list of terrible things he did before adulthood. ultimately, it drove cedric insane and earned him the nickname 'the cruel prince' among the castle servants before he was even twenty.
