** In the third route, Selena can potentially marry [[ThePerfectionist Subaki]], who is essentially her mother Cordelia's SpearCounterpart.
** Odin and Laslow potentially marry women who are like their mothers.

And for worse? [[spoiler:Deirdre was the baby whose birth killed Cigyun. So yup, BrotherSisterIncest here too, ''and they don't even know it''.]]
