So I’m going to sound super dumb for asking this. But does Nesta have siphons?
Ive seen a lot of fanart with her having siphons. And I don’t remember her having or getting siphons so I’m just curious.

I don't think so, unless I read over something in ACOSF, but no where does it say if she got siphons
Nah ig
WARNING: SPOILERS AHEAD IF YOU HAVEN'T READ ACOWAR.
I don't believe she got siphons, unless I missed something in one of the books. I do remember, though, that Rhys doesn't have and can't even use siphons because his power isn't Illyrian. His High Fae abilities get in the way of the siphons doing any good. And if I remember right, it actually made things more difficult for him. So, I would assume that because Nesta doesn't have even a little bit of Illyrian blood in her, the siphons wouldn't work for her, either.
As for the fanart, I don't know why she has siphons in some of them. Maybe it is to show her Illyrian spirit (we see in ACOSF that they keep comparing her to Illyrians), or maybe it is to show her relationship with Cassian (probably less likely than the previous option).
(On a side note, it could be possible that they would work, because in ACOMAF it said that the siphons were to control the brute power of the Illyrians. If I remember correctly, it said that power was death or death related. After Nesta gets her power, it was guessed, then confirmed, that her power is death. So the similarities of the powers may have allowed her to use the siphons. But this is just speculation and could be wrong just because Nesta could control the power without the help of siphons. Or at least keep it at bay. Controlling it may be a bit of a stretch. Which could actually prove that siphons might be useful for her.)
The last part is a bit of a stream on consciousness, and I wrote things as I thought of them, so it isn't all that well thought out. At the end I offered information that could prove or disprove my theory so that you would have all the information (at least the stuff I remember). If anyone has thoughts on that last part, I'd love to hear them!
But is siphones contribute to death related powers, Nesta might not have her deather powers any more since she gave them back to save Feyre, Nyx, and Rhys.
When she did that, though, there was something (believed to be the Mother) that prevented them from fully leaving. She still has some of the power left.
But not her death powers, and she wouldn't have a much so she wouldn't need siphones
Nesta was compared a lot to Illyrians in the books and she changed her anatomy into Illyrian in ACOSF. So is she technically an Illyrian without wings now? Maybe that’s why people assume she has siphons for fanart. Idk. But thank y’all so much for your feedback!!
She didn't change her entire anatomy to Illyrian anatomy. Just the part where a child would be created/come out so, in the future, she could have children with Cassian without risking baby wings tearing her apart.
What do you think?
