Is the WK mantle affecting Harry's sperm?

Arjan:
I do not think creating a child in the dresdenverse is just sperm and egg, it is also spiritual. Parts of Haryy and  Murphy’s spirit and soul are merged to make a new spirit and soul.

Much like Bonnie actually.

The influence of the mantle will be minimal if Harry keeps a good seperation between himself and the mantle, keeps being himself.

Yes, Maeve and Sarissa looked alike.  Their fairy gene group is highly active such they look much like a typical fairy princess would, even Sarissa prior to getting the mantle by virtue of being daughter of the Queen.  That is how I see it.  There would be a blending between Mab the individual's genetics, the father's genetics, and the fairy genetics for both Maeve and Sarissa.  The Lady mantle would further push Maeve toward the Lady archetype, but given Mab had been Queen 800+ years, I think her eggs had a heavy does of fairy genetics infused into them such that there wouldn't be a drastic difference in appearance between Maeve and Sarissa.  They are both daughters of the Queen.

The point is that Jim has said the offspring of Fae and Humans have a fairy 'gene group' that becomes a 'dormant gene group' the further the 'generational gap' between changeling and subsequent generation.  Genetics are passed on via egg and sperm so I assumed that this gene group is partly found within each.  You may argue creating a child is also part spiritual, well I'd argue in terms of fairy genetics that a "spirtual" piece of the fairy genetics exist with the egg/sperm.

Quantus:
I think Id be willing to buy that becoming the Host for any significant chunk of the Fae Queen Mantles, including the Knight, would be high enough exposure to the most primal powers of Faedom could be enough to cause a spontaneous mutation development of the Fae Gene-group, especially given that we already know it is substantially responsive to environmental Stimuli.  And on top of that I could easily buy that regularly mixing Winter energy with your own Magic would promote (if not guarantee) that process, at least relative to a host who does not regularly channel that purified energy.  And that's not even considering the implications of mixing Winter Power and SOULFIRE

Sorry, I was referring to Maeve and Lily.   Did THEY look alike.  I just don't recall.

raidem:
Lily started to look like Aurora, who looked somewhat like Maeve in SK.

So, in time likely but not as close as Sarissa and Maeve at that point.
