It may not have been a meme, but am stealing 
labellesansbra's idea for a misc. info/head canon dump.  Because I've been thinking about things myself lately, and it seems like a good idea.

• Asta seems to favor rich, dark colors, and wears a lot of dark blue, dark red, and black.  She does not wear green, ever, because that color is reserved for the Empress.
• She... l-likes leather?  Canon shows her wearing a long leather jacket, what may or may not be leather pants, and the infamous hookerchapboots.  Rather than this being casual, everyday wear, I tend to think she dresses this way (in camp, at least) when she's on patrol.  (Prefers pants with a silhouette like this or this.  Not necessarily denim, but either leather or some other dark fabric.  Maaaybe a dark wash denim?  Maybe.  I have no idea what material she likes, other than, you know. Leather.)
  
• When she's not on patrol, and especially with warm weather approaching, she will favor clingy, body-conscious clothing, and  also pretty, pretty dresses (though not necessarily in those colors/patterns).  So, body-conscious shirts, tank tops, halter tops, possibly with a deep neckline, possibly not.  Also seems to favor corset/bustier-style tops.
  
• Asta has a deep sense of sentimental value.  If she's been given gifts in camp, she takes excellent care of them.  She's keenly aware that people's time in camp is limited, and when they're gone, they're gone (except when they come back), and those gifts and mementos are all she'll have to remember someone by.
• She's always wearing jewelry in some capacity -- she likes dangly earrings, and always has at least one ring on either hand.  She owns necklaces, but more often than not can be seen wearing a white gold necklace with a miniature tiara on it.  She's never seen wearing a watch.
• Asta wears her nails a bit on the long side, and maintains them very well.  She'll wear nail polish, but only as long as it takes for the color to wear -- at the first sign of a chip or stress, off it comes.
• Asta. Loves.  Heels.  I... don't know how well this works in camp, but she's always seen wearing high heels not unlike those in the icon.  (Trufax:  She has platform-heel slippers.)  My estimate:  The heels look to be about 3"- 4" high, and  novel canon says she's six-feet tall, so I guess her height without heels to be about 5'8" or so.
  
• She eats very healthily!  Asta's very aware that a Methuselah needs to take proper care of themselves, which means getting plenty of rest and eating well, in addition to drinking the Life Water -- she does this so consistently that she doesn't really think twice about it. (My own personal headcanon is that she has a soft spot for dessert, particularly things with a bit of tang to them, but tends not to indulge in anything too rich, unless it's a special occasion.  Her favorite:  Minagawa's lemon sorbet with ginger crisps.)
• Canon states that in the baths at the Asran estate, the water is milky white, due to a secret blending of spices and oils (one of which I'm fairly sure is sandalwood and... myrrh?).  Headcanon is that she brings a small bottle of this mixture with her whenever she leaves the Empire, and is currently wearing it like a perfume.
• She cannot swim!  (This is anime canon, for sure [she screams it at the top of her lungs while Abel is piloting a speedboat VERY BADLY], but I can't remember if it comes up in manga, or if it just hasn't come up yet.)
• Asta has no idea how to make microwave popcorn, but will not admit this fact, ever.  Or until she's topped into it. 
  
• UNDERWEAR:  Asta seems not to wear a bra (but will wear a corset top), and apparently wears thongs.  Or, if you prefer, glorified dental floss.
  
• I've actually given quite a bit of thought as to Asta's level of... experience, which is actually harder than you'd think, considering she blushes like a schoolgirl whenever Suleyman's around, which is... not the typical reaction of someone who is blase about sex.  But she does criticize the Terran for being too uptight about sex.  She also... dresses very sexily, which I realize is not necessarily an indicator of proclivity towards sexy-sexy behavior, but it does kind of influence the subconscious to a certain degree.  So.  Headcanon is that she is not a virgin, but has a very practical and probably pretty mature view about sex (satisfying a body's natural urges, etc.), and there is a very distinct line drawn between "having sex" and "making love," the latter of which happens far less frequently.  When she "has sex" she tops, but when she "makes love," she bottoms.
• She is well aware of the fact that she's good-looking, and will brush off/roll her eyes at anyone who blatantly hits on her, but will be completely flummoxed if someone calls her "beautiful" and is sincere about it.  Then she blushes and calls them an idiot.  This... is canon.  O Asta.
