BowKhael

BowKhael is the family ship between Bowen and Mikhael from the Omori fandom.

Canon
Bowen and Mikhael are the two sons of Mr. Baker and Mrs. Baker and the brothers of Daphne Baker. It is stated that Bowen is the older brother of Mikhael and the other twin of his sister Daphne. The Baker family, altogether, is known for their bread making business. Bowen wishes to take over the bakery after his graduation from school, often stating how he finds school as a waste of time if he knows he’d just be taking over the bakery with his twin sister Daphne. Mikhael, on the other hand, has always aspired to be different from his family all together. He often separates himself from his family tradition.

Bowen and Mikhael are not shown to have many scenes together as they are minor, side characters, however on TWO DAYS LEFT the player can choose to play a game with Bowen and his twin sister Daphne. Prior to starting the quest Mikhael will state that an “Evil force” is lurking inside his house. Upon playing hide and seek with the twins they are discovered to be hiding under Mikhael’s bed in the hopes of surprising their brother, but to their dismay Sunny is the one to discover them. With Sunny discovering their hiding place, Daphne states, “Our little brother is too cool for us now, isn’t he, BOWEN? He doesn’t even have time to play games with his loving older siblings anymore!”. To which Bowen agrees with his sister’s statement.

Towards the ending section of the game; ONE DAY LEFT, Mikhael comes to terms that he may have misjudged his family tradition. With the realization that he may not be good at anything else, Mikhael soon admits that he may return to his tradition of making bread with his family. No other information or scenes are given of the Baker family, however Mrs. Baker does make a reference to her son, Mikhael. She often wonders why her son doesn’t attend church with them on Sundays. She is also known to have a high distaste for Mikhael’s persona “The Maverick” as she states how she dislikes him wearing a wig.

Fanon
Bowkhael Is a very obscure family ship within the Omori fandom. It is often overshadowed by the family pairing between Bowen and Daphne, as Daphne is Bowen's twin sibling. They are often seen together as well throughout the duration of the game, further strengthening the bond between Bowen and Daphne. However, overall any romanticization of the siblings together is highly looked down upon by the fandom as they are all biologically related.

Most fanfictions within the fandom express Mikhael and his twin siblings in three ways, rebellion, caretaking, and familial bonding. On the side of rebellion, Mikhael is often written as distasting his family’s traditions and often taking steps to separate himself from them all together. This is highlighted throughout the game as well, making this version more canological. In terms of a caretaker, Bowen (or Daphne) fills this role in taking care of Mikhael,  due to Mikhael being the youngest in the family. Within this role it often goes off of the basis of one of the twins at work with their parents as Mikhael is left home alone. The final expression being familial bonding is one of the more common expressions between Mikhael and his twin siblings. In this troupe Mikhael is often shown to be indulging in his family’s tradition or taking part in the twins' activities often in forms of bread baking.
