I know it’s a really common headcanon that walhart is directly descended from alm and celica (given the sheer length of their dynasty, it’s possible that many valmese are) but I like to think that he’s a complete and utter rando like:
walhart: the great king alm once said that power and martial prowess is the only way to rule
alm’s ghost: i didn’t say that
walhart: as the successor to the glory of valm’s past, I will make this continent great again
alm’s ghost: who are you
i drew my daughter
and then i erased some hair and got my son because awakening REALLY likes the middle bangs and sideburns hairstyle
👍
I actually don’t prefer the common headcanon that Walhart is descended/directly descended from Alm and Celica because the narrative of a relative nobody donning what he believes to be the persona and ideals of the harbringer of the romanticized golden age of his continent in order to legitimize his misguided and violent attempt to “Make Valm Great Again” through sheer charisma and force alone is more compelling to me
