What's the birth order of the Ros family siblings? And was it ever stated in the text?

Oh heavens, I'm not sure if it was ever explicitly stated beyond "___ is the oldest" and "___ and ___ are twins" type stuff, so maybe it could have been puzzled out with one of those "John, Susie, Steven, and Jane are going to the movies, John HATES popcorn, Susie is sitting next to Jane" grids?? But for simplicity's sake, here's a rundown under a cut for spoilers.

Oldest to youngest, their age as of Painted Devils, and what they do:

Katrin (F) - 28, runs the family horse farm w/husband and 3 kids

Jörgi (NB) - 27, runs the family forge

Jakob (M), Udo (M), Luisa (F) - 26, triplets; weaver hedgewitch, sheep farmer, and housewife respectively

Ozkar (M) - 25, artificer warlock

Eida (F) - 24, seamstress

Helga (F) - 22, hedgewitch and midwife apprentice

Dieter (M) and Erwin (M) - 21, small-time bard and general laborer, respectively

Sånnik (M) - 20, helps on family farm

Henrik (M) - 19, monastic scholar

Vanja (F) - 17, ??? Profit

Welcome to Painted Devils IF

Who We Are

We three Fates are a trio of writers. Though we've written as a team before, Painted Devils is our first foray into interactive fiction. We welcome you to climb aboard our dark academia adventure. Well, are you taking my hand?

What is Painted Devils?

Welcome to Blackthorn Academy, where blood runs thick, but betrayal runs thicker. Someone has been stealing the hearts of students... and the bodies are starting to pile up. Who—or what—is killing the students, and what do they want with you? Customize your character, study a major of your choice, romance one of four fellow students, and one by one discover the skeletons in their closets…

Features

• A fully customizable MC, including appearance, gender, sexuality, personality, and the coping mechanism you use to drown out memories you desperately wish you could forget…

• Character and romance driven story where you can build friendships, form relationships, and then use them how you so choose

• Choose from one of five unique magical specialities to study while at Blackthorn

• Romance one of four ROs available to all players

DEMO: Coming Soon

Meet the Love Interests and Find Useful Posts:

Theo Fairchild: Popular and always seen wearing half a dozen bruises, Theo’s infamous for his participation in the academy fight club, but black eyes and broken bones are far from the worst thing he’s hiding….

Oliver Ying: The stoner son of a business tycoon, Oliver is content to coast on his father's wealth. But beneath the smoke are the eyes of a phoenix and a sword on his tongue...

Juliette Lancaster: Highly intelligent and always at the top of the class, Juliette projects an image of arrogance and class to everyone she meets. What could she be hiding behind her perfectly pressed blazer and immaculate grades?

Valeria Cortés: The resident queen bee, Val has all of Blackthorn's social royalty in the palm of her hand. Mysterious, brutal, and ambitious, she says she’s only working for herself, but who is she really dancing for?

little thieves fanart bc god that was my favourite ever series. yk i accidentally read painted devils (the sequel of little thieves) before I read little thieves and it was a little confusing but I loved it sm. if you're looking for loads of meme references, romance, and to sob violently, read the little thieves series. can't wait for next year so I can get holy terrors the series is so underrated.

I can’t believe Margaret Owen named the final book “Holy Terrors” after giving us THAT ending on the previous book and expect us to be okay

Once upon a time, there was a girl cold as winter, greedy as a king, lonely as an orphan. She was a liar, a thief, and a wicked maid, who stole from the family that took her in and threw her lady mistress to the wolves. She did what it took to survive, and would not martyr herself for anyone.

[careful-fear]

finishing painted devils and my heart is about to explode because because vanja is finally getting unconditional love. her family barely know her but they welcome every single part of her—and she's sitting there catastrophising over the smallest things because she's been taught that she is undeserving and caring is conditional and that her mistakes are her own to carry.

but none of it is true because her family prayed for her to come home and emeric wrote her poetry.

(which is super important, because it's hammered in that he's all about law and numbers and justice, but he wrote vanja poetry)

Now that most folks have gotten their copies, I can share the art I did for the naked hardcover of @illumicrate 's special edition of Painted Devils! Definitely one of my more challenging palettes, but I'm really happy with how it came out. Lots of easter eggs for those who have read the book already too! 😘
