Edowin could be a human dwarf. Or maybe he was adopted?
His character sheet says he's a dwarf. And yeah, he could be adopted. There are ways for them to be siblings.
It just feels odd to me. Like, they could have made Edowin anything, a dwarf, an elf, a human. Why pick dwarf when his siblings are both human? It's not like Edowin has a big role other than being the first place we hear the phrase True Soul.
It's like, you know how Mayrina *feels* like the sister of her two brothers? That feels like a family. The brothers go looking for their sister who's run off to the hag. In that scene, it works that they're family. It makes the scene stronger.
In the Edowin scene, it doesn't really feel like they're family. It leaves a question mark on the scene; as someone else put it, are they calling him brother like someone would call a monk brother? Is it a religious title of some sort?
But if all three of them were human with, say, red hair, then it would help to reinforce the familial bond and provide for a more emotional scene.
