Bored

Stolen from avocado_love.

Name a character and I'll tell you three (or more) facts about them from my own personal headcanon.

I know I've done this before, but I'm bored and need a distraction. Just make sure I know the fandom before you name someone =O

1. She never gets married. Instead, she satisfies any urge she has with liaisons of many different kinds. She's a very free spirit.
2. She doesn't become Queen of Omashu like everyone says. She just remains as she is, travelling the world. If she comes across things that need to be done, she does them. But she never settles down.
3. It takes her a very, very long time to make peace with her parents - but not for their lack of trying. She constantly has to struggle with trying to forgive them, even when, in later years, they have obviously changed.

Wow. Your perspective on Toph is just amazing. That's how I feel about her, too.

Katara. :3

[yukinoomoni]

1. She remains travelling with Aang for, like, ever (although it IS my headcanon that they break up at least once, because Katara is a ball of issues and has a lot of trouble with deep love - and especially with the fear of losing those she loves deeply).
2. She's instrumental in establishing women's rights in the Norther Water Tribe - not to abolish all traditions, but to give women the choice - for once.
3. Her self-righteousness still powers her through her life - and often gets her into trouble just as often.

*This*! :D *Applies it to headcanon as well* :3

I like Katara. I think she's complex and interesting. I find her being a fandom bicycle distastful most times, mostly because she does have such intense issues. She's one that I think would have to take a lot of time finding herself - both with and without Aang (but Aang, being Aang, would always wait with and for her, no matter what).

I was gonna go with Suki, but since someone else already did... Zuko. :)

[yukinoomoni]

1. Despite his shaky start, Zuko becomes a master at politics. His temper always will need work, but by watching both his father and his sister, he knows exactly what not to do.
2. He still goes igcognito from time to time, to let loose of course - but also to keep close to his people, to really know what continues to go on, to come face-to-face with what his rule really means for the average person (and to be a crime-fighting ninja, lol).
3. He makes it a habit to visit Azula at least once a week. To him, it's his way of redemption for, however indirectly, breaking her. It also allows him to keep, in some way, close to his mother.

I really like this headcanon, especially the last one!

[yukinoomoni]

I just... really have a soft spot for the idea of Azula eventually coming out of the haze of her insanity. It would take years, and would never fully be gone, but I don't like the idea of her rotting away in an asylum all of her life. Azula deserves a happy ending, too ;.;.

Shadow Raiders...I figure the Prison Planet characters leave a lot of room for headcanon, as you know less about their pasts than some of the more established cast. I'm gonna say Jewelia or Sternum? Or both if you like!

[yukinoomoni]

Prison Planet, general:
1. Most of the criminals are actually peace-advocates. They were sent away to keep their mouths shut, to keep any formal uprising from happening to stop the wars.
2. The torture implements were originally used to break the bright spirits, the confidence and hope, of all of the prisoners. Insane prisoners are easier to control than determined prisoners.
3. The planet actually was a planet once - misfires and incorrect handling of the warp engines broke it apart, and only the small shard remains

[l_bea]

Thanks for the detailed answers :) I enjoyed reading these! I agree abut the prison planet being a fragment of a planet that was once whole, since nobody recognised it 'till they were up close.
I dig the theory about Jewelia being from rock -- but she looks too different to me, like a whole different species of person? With the prison planet being able to teleport, I imagine she could've come from another system...(So I guess that's my headcanon! My other theory is that Sternum was born a prince, to a king who basically only had children to protect a place on the throne.)

What the crap is a headcanon? It sounds like something Inspector Gadget would have installed. And I pick Ranma, from Ranma 1/2.

[quorothorn]

"Headcanon" is basically an individual fan's personal image of the parts of a story or world that we never really saw.

For example, my personal ideas on how Fire Nation politics and upbringing worked during the rules of Sozin, Azulon, and Ozai would be by "headcanon" of that time period.

Sometimes a piece of one fan or group of fan's headcanon will popularize via their theories and/or fanfic to the point that it becomes "fanon" (and if the series is continued, some people's headcanons might turn out to closely fit to what ends up being actual canon).

[animedude]

Oh, ok. I'm familiar with the idea of "fanon", but not with any Last Airbender characters, as that's a kid's cartoon. XD I KEEP POINTING THIS OUT! I HAVEN'T WATCH NICKELODEON SINCE THEY STOPPED SHOWING ROCKO'S MODERN LIFE! But no, I know what "fanon" is. The pokemon fandom has introduced me to some... interesting fandom quirks, including fanon and *shudder* shipping...
