[[WMG: March 7th was sealed in ice by the Garden of Recollection, and was once a Memokeeper.]]
There are a number of clues that lead to this theory, mostly breadcrumbs that start with the Simulated Universe and end with the ''Dreamjoy Memoir'' event.
* 1: The Path of Remembrance in Simulated Universe focuses on freezing enemies and affecting frozen enemies, and even comes with its own status effect--"Dissociation", a type of freezing effect that ignores normal resistance to freezing. March's Six-Phased Ice is considered an abnormality, a sort of ice that doesn't form naturally, much like the Dissociation effect.
* 2: The Memokeeper from the Garden of Recollection admitted to sealing away March's memories in a special Light Cone that shows her frozen in ice in the same style as her sixth Eidolon, which is how the Express found her.
* 3: All of March's Eidolons are named and themed around memories, since she has no memories from before she was broken out of the ice.
* 4: In the last part of ''Dreamjoy Memoir'', when talking to the audience about the movie, one of the characters to talk to is Black Swan. She compares telling Penacony's history through the Clockie cartoons to an unnamed Memokeeper who kept memories in photos. March is never seen without her camera, and she takes photos of every world the Express visits so she doesn't forget anything.
* 5: In the fake credits if the player chooses not to join the Express at the beginning of the game, and the credit rolls during Penacony, everyone is listed with their real names in the casting call (such as Kakavasha as Aventurine). March, however, is listed as "???", as her real name isn't known.
These clues point to a possibility: Black Swan was speaking about March, or whatever her name used to be. March was a Memokeeper, but for some reason the Garden chose to seal her away, locking her memories of her time as a Memokeeper in a Light Cone. March's Six-Phased Ice is the remains of her powers as a Memokeeper, a holdover of her preferred method of preserving memories: a photo "freezes" a moment in time.

* Supporting this possibility, take a look at Clockie's eyes when the Clockwork dial is locked on "Satisfied" due to Ena's influence. They're the same color as Aventurine's eyes.

This is basically another attempt to rationalize how Pela's backstory fits with her being a renowned military officer but yet still 16. The Belobogians designed their own system of time - probably based on something left behind by the Architects - to account for the fact that there is no actual time passage in Belobog due to the giant blizzard blocking everything and there being no discernable seasons or other units of measurements (such as the Amber Lords hammer). Converted to our time span the ratio is somewhere about 1.5 (for easy calculations, could be lower, probably is) meaning that Pela and Lynx - despite their small statures - are about 24 in Trailblaze Calendar system of measurement. Similarly, the closing of the Underworld occurred 15 years ago, not ten. And if you ask someone from Belobog about Serval's age you'd be shocked since they'd say she's somewhere around 60 years old.

[[WMG: Elio was the one reading the ending narration of Penacony.]]
After both "final battles" (both the fake one and the real one), we're treated to a narration and a mock credits roll befitting Penacony having a theatrical theme. In both credit rolls, Elio is listed as the script writer. The first narration was done by Black Swan, but the second was done by a voice that doesn't quite match up to any known character associated with Penacony, the Garden, the Stellaron Hunters, or the Express.

I don't actually have a theory for what an Erudition Path for the Trailblazer could be like. I just threw it since Abundance, Hunt, and Nihility were mentioned but not Erudition.

* The Hunt: For the Path of the Hunt, the Element that the Trailblazer will switch to will be either Wind, or Lightning. Not sure what abilities the Trailblazer will use in this path, but the weapon they will use will either be a Javelin, a Bow, or a Rifle, as those weapons are traditionally associated with hunting.

Added DiffLines:
** Jossed - It's Misha.
Added DiffLines:
** Confirmed - It's actually bringing people to Dreamflux Reef, representing "Dormancy" rather than "Death". Funnily enough, Misha calls it "Sleepie", fitting how it brings people to deeper parts of the dream.
Added DiffLines:
** Confirmed - Misha is the Watchmaker, specifically, something akin to a Memory Zone Meme, coming from the dream bubble of the real Mikhail (Watchmaker).
Added DiffLines:
This is also highly possible considering that the Trailblazer was most likely a Stellaron Hunter, or at least Kafka's former partner-in-crime. While Firefly remembers it, the Trailblazer does not.

No one but the Trailblazer is able to see Misha (GameplayAndStorySegregation notwithstanding), whose best friend is the similarly-invisible Clockie. While he does clearly exist in ''some'' manner, it isn't clear just who or what he is. His associated Light Cone, ''Indelible Promise'', shows him receiving a Nameless badge, and it's implied that the Watchmaker was a Nameless. Additionally, his design includes a small pocketwatch, and the brooch on his cravat resembles a gear. His eyes are also very unusual, with white, keyhole-shaped pupils that look distinctly inhuman.

One of the key defining features of the Sigonians is their eyes--striking two-colored eyes.

Additionally, though he seems to get along with Aventurine like a cat and a dog, Dr. Ratio is wholly on Aventurine's side. He could be acting through a sort of solidarity with his fellow Sigonian.

* Adding onto this theory, given Robin's intent to investigate the matter of a traitor within the Family, it's likely that S.U.D. "killed" Robin to warp her into the closed off area of Penacony so she could properly investigate and uncover the truth, as well as keep her away from the prying eyes of the Family. It also helps how Robin seems to be a TokenGoodTeammate among the prominent Family members.
