Kindred Theory Page

Welcome to the Kindred Theory Page. This is a place where you can discuss confirmed, debunked, and unconfirmed theories from the Kindred series.

Current & Unconfirmed Theories

 * Mentioned in blog: This book might be the supernatural romance and/or the mystery book mentioned in January 2022's blog post. Both parts seem to be strengthened when the December 2022 blog post says "You’ve been asking for it, and our team is delivering" and in the April 2023 newsletter when both seem to be mentioned. The supernatural part is strengthened by blog post's description of the book and by the summaries of Chapters 1 & 2.
 * Magical necklaces: All three girls are wearing glowing necklaces on the cover. It could mean that the gemstones are magical. They might also be a source for the sisters’ powers.
 * Matchmaking: Players theorize that we might be able to matchmake Penelope with Saffron, and Brooks with Magnolia. The theory of matchmaking Saffron with Penelope is strengthened by how they seem to like each other and trying to flirt.
 * Azalea's Death: Similar to the the Charmed series that the story takes inspiration from, there is a theory that our mother's death wasn't natural, but rather that she was murdered by another person or a creature. This is strengthened with the mention of Azalea being healthy before her death.
 * Antagonists: Some possible antagonists we could face are:
 * Wraiths and/or their master: Since one wraith attacked us in Chapter 1 and Guardian said that they might return, one of the antagonists of the Book could be the wraiths themselves, and/or possibly their leader who will turn out to be the mastermind behind everything.
 * Guardian's Superiors: Given that it is forbidden for Guardian to get involved with witches, it is possible that his/her superiors will order him/her to cut ties with us, or face consequences. Alternatively, since as of now romancing Guardian is optional, perhaps they will be displeased with some of his/her actions, resulting in them becoming antagonists.
 * Single LI: With Archer revealed to be a wraith, players believe this makes him/her a villain, leaving Guardian as the only LI.

Confirmed Theories

 * Female Lead: Due to the recent surge in Female Lead stories in early 2023, it is believed that this book will be genderlocked as well. PB confirmed this in Choices Insiders February 2023.
 * Biological Sisters: The other 2 characters mentioned in the blog might be the main character's biological sisters. This is strengthened with a sketch of the cover that features the three girls, and when Chapter 1's title and summary mention sisters. This theory is eventually confirmed with a sneak peek featuring the girls on the cover, stating that they are sisters.
 * Collectibles: This book might potentially have at least one set of collectibles. This is confirmed when PB released the blog for this book, hinting at many magical items that we can collect throughout the story, and further when it is revealed that you can collect items for an altar that can help you strengthen your magic.
 * Archer Bell: Given Archer's mysteriousness, players believe that he/she will turn out to be a wraith or a demon. This is confirmed in Chapter 4, where it is revealed that Archer is a wraith, and his/her real name is Kaine.

Debunked Theories

 * Single-LI: Given the trend of single-LI stories, this might also be a single-LI story. This is debunked when PB teased two love interests for the main character.
 * Multiple POV: Given that the summary of the story talks about following three individuals on their magical journey, it is theorized that this book will have multiple points of view, and three main characters like Across the Void or A Courtesan of Rome. This is debunked as the only playable character is the main character, and because there is no indication that the other two sisters are playable.
