What if Aerith and Sephiroth were stepsiblings?

Remember that discarded idea of Aerith and Sephiroth being siblings.I was thinking maybe they could have made them stepsiblings instead.Although in my mind it would have not been pretty how they would have become stepbrother and stepsister.

Here is my hypothetical cap going on:Remember when Gast was killed then Ifana and Aerith were taken by Shinra to be experimented on for seven years.Well,what if to cruelly twist the knife that Hojo forced Ifana to marry him and adopted Aerith so he could have both of them under his foot.

It might not be plausible but I thought this possibly could be the only way they could have become stepsiblings in my mind.Although I have a feeling they wouldn't be aware they were stepsiblings since Hojo never told Sephiroth he was his father.Although I am pretty sure having Hojo as your stepfather wouldn't be a fun experience as well.

There would be even creepier fan fiction out there... hardly seems possible.

Well they do look sort of alike with the hair flip thing on their foreheads.

However that was just the way that they were designed. I doubt that they have some sort of relation towards each other because well if they did SE would of mentioned it already in a article or in the game it's self. It seems sort of something important, so if it was true it wouldn't be avoided or left up to fan guessing.

I'm not sure about being sibling or step siblings, but I suppose the idea of the two of them being more aware of each other would have been interesting. Remember, I think there was also a scrapped idea of Sephiroth being Aerith's former love instead of Zack.

I think the story ended up being convoluted enough without these two characters being related. Nevertheless, I'm intrigued by the possibilities. Who is the common parent in this scenario you've envisioned? ;)

Nearly every major character was a experiment of Hojo at some point or other already. Really, Aerith having a connection with Sephiroth would be less of complete coincidence then Aerith having a connection with Zack.

Besides, I like the idea of Cloud not wanting to spoil Aerith's fond memories of Sephiroth on one hand and planning his revenge on the man on the other.

Yeah,Sephiroth and Aerith in canon have so much indirect connection with each other that makes one wonder how they could not have at least come in contact with each other before Sephiroth turned evil.

I think it would have been good if they actually did meet when Aerith and her mother were held captive in Shinra.

Then all the fan art about them would be just that much more creepy.

I think the story would suffer for it.

What if Cloud and Tifa and Aerith were all related, but this was only revealed in the next sequel :awesome:. Kind of like Luke and Leia.

Just noticed I made the same joke twice in this thread. Sorry, my bad.

I still feel there should have been a personal relationship between Aerith and Sephiroth. It would be fun to imagine what if they did make Sephiroth her big brother figure when she and her mother were imprisoned in the labs.

I think I genuinely hate you. I appreciate your effort of trying to bring live to this forum, I really do (threads started by you are probably over one hundred). But please, every time when your brain starts to fart I want to vomit until I choke.

EDIT:
My apology for the user jazzflower92: I apologize for the possible pain my words may have caused. I have overreacted. I also need to correct my statement: Instead of hating you, which would be pretty harsh, I would like to rephrase. For the effort you get an A+, I just don't like what you write. Until this day I haven't been able to read any of your messages without wanting to severely hurt myself, but this is entirely my problem, not yours. I do admire your effort, so it's nothing personal.
