I was never able to find an answer to this. Does anyone know why Zinnia refers to her Whismur as "her daughter"? Was this just a mistranslation or something?

Maybe it's similar to how some pet owners refer to their pets as their kids?

I hated Zinnia so much I didn't care. She probably meant it as a pet name or something more "symbolic" because she's sure likes keeping details to herself while shitting out exposition so who really knows.

Headcanon alert:

I theorize that Aster was once her younger sister, that she mysteriously lost somehow, and so Zinnia thought she was dead. Since the Japanese Version refers to Aster as Zinnia's sister, it's possible that the loss of her actual sister just drove her insane, and so she thinks the Whismur is sister or something.

More headcanon: Aster is actually Emma and was separated from her family and lost her memory.

No. He was just some autist that got abandoned by his parents in a forest and raised by Pokemon.

I interpreted it the same way but I thought that aster was her daughter. So like, she was a mother who had lost her daughter, who had been driven crazy with the burden of being the last draconid, and so the delta episode was the story of how her culture ended and she had to face her loss? I dunno.

Also, shouldn't her daughter be a dragon type or something?

Huh. I mostly just thought that she named her Whismur Aster as a way to cope with the loss of her daughter/sister.

It's just been so long at this point that she treats Aster the same way as she treated her relative.

Emma from XY is her daughter. Zinnia herself opened up for the whole multiverse thing, and that explains how Looker ended up blackoutet in Hoenn, while digging into Emmas past.

People with pets sometimes refer to them as family members like "daughter" or "sister" as a joke that always comes across as obnoxious and creepy, and for some godforsaken reason GF thought it was cool and went with it for Zinnia, because GF is retarded.

This one chick I know owns two Shih-Tzus and she has like four bumper stickers on her car that say things like "proud doggy mom" and she calls them her little girl and little boy, respectively.
