    And I think the twins thing is unlikely considering we’ve seen Klingon siblings such as Worf and his Brother and Lursa and B’etor and they are not twins. We’ve yet to see an example of Klingon twins.

      Maybe Klingon twins always kill each other, in the womb. Maybe there are ALWAYS twins, and one always emerges victorious.

      EDIT: they LITERALLY emerge victorious. And maybe that’s the original basis for the ritual, where they scream to the gods, after someone dies. The very first thing a Klingon does in his whole life is commemorate his first bloody victory by screaming, as a newborn.

          Yup. Probably because that fetus took after the human side. And the deeply buried, primal memory of slaughtering and absorbing her weak human equivalent is the root of her problems. Ya know, how she is perpetually horrified by her violent and predatory Klingon side, but equally disgusted by her weak and vulnerable human side. Makes sense.
