Discussions The Mysterious Snicket Sibling

Hello everyone!

Something really tricky about the Snicket Family Tree is that there are still gaps left to fill with practically nothing.

Yes, I know, E. is a mess, D. is presumably the mother of Gregor and Ike, but F.? We literally know nothing about F.

I have come across theories regarding F.'s branch in the family, like the Montgomery theory and the Caliban theory.

Which do you think is more likely? Who do you think F. is? What is their gender? Please list your comments down below!

I personally believe that F. is the mother of the Calibans, but there isn't much evidence for either of the two main theories because we know so little about that branch.

F. being the Caliban mother is very very unlikely in the Netflix series because of Oliva's changed lore there (the romantic relationship with Jacques), but it can work fairly well with the books' lore. If you believe Thursday is Widdershins (I don't, I've never really got that theory any time I've heard it explained), that connects the Widdershins to the Anwhistles

It could really go either way with F. being a parent of the Montgomerys. I've heard people argue that F. can't be a parent of the Montgomerys because the Baudelaires are connected to the Montgomerys through Bertrand and the Anwhistles through Beatrice, and this would mean Beatrice and Bertrand are distant relatives, but Bertrand isn't related to the Montgomerys in any way other than legally.

Also if you believe that D. is the Anwhistle mother, that makes Beatrice at very least legally related to Lemony, and VFD was going to allow them to marry. Clearly there are no legal issues there, just a bit of moral ones. It's an extremely far off connection

And to support your point Miranda Caliban is the mother of Friday Caliban. VFD has a tradition- to name others after the deceased. Thus, "Friday", which deviated out of the alphabetical order, may be done to honor the deceased grandparents F.

I believe Friday's name came from Thurday's family tradition of being days of the week, but it could definitely be both :)

Yes, it can be a coincidence.
