Headcannons

I saw a thread with this same idea, but it was from almost a year ago, and appeared to be inactive now, but I thought it was such a cute idea, so I figured I’d try it out. Headcannon each other’s characters. [name_m]Not[/name_m] entirely sure how it works, but I figure I’ll tell you a bit about some of my characters, and I suppose we’ll go from there.

[name_f][/name_f]
[name_f][/name_f][name_f][/name_f][name_m]Thaddeus[/name_m][name_f][/name_f]

[name_m]Thaddeus[/name_m] is the [name_m]Crown[/name_m] [name_f]Prince[/name_f] of a fictional kingdom called [name_m]Sinclair[/name_m], and the eldest son of [name_m]King[/name_m] [name_m]Rupert[/name_m], and [name_f]Queen[/name_f] [name_f]Isolde[/name_f]. [name_f]In[/name_f] the story, he’s left on his own, and captured when the enemy kingdom of [name_m]Diggory[/name_m] attacks his home, and by the end of the story, his parents are dead, and he’s the [name_m]King[/name_m] of [name_m]Sinclair[/name_m]. He’s fifteen at the start of the story, and eighteen at the end.

[name_f][/name_f][name_f][/name_f][name_m]Edmund[/name_m][name_f][/name_f]

[name_m]Edmund[/name_m] is the [name_f]Prince[/name_f] of [name_m]Sinclair[/name_m], and escapes the attack on [name_m]Castle[/name_m] [name_m]Sinclair[/name_m] with his father shortly before [name_m]King[/name_m] [name_m]Rupert[/name_m] is executed by [name_m]King[/name_m] [name_m]Crispin[/name_m] of [name_m]Diggory[/name_m]. During the ordeal, he’s faced with the possibility of [name_m]Thaddeus[/name_m] dying, and having to take on the role of [name_m]King[/name_m]. He’s fourteen at the start, and seventeen at the end.

[name_f][/name_f]
[name_f][/name_f]
[name_f][/name_f][name_f][/name_f][name_f]Elsbeth[/name_f][name_f][/name_f]

[name_f]Elsbeth[/name_f] is the eldest princess of [name_m]Sinclair[/name_m], and being their eldest daughter, faces a lot of pressure to be the perfect princess, and marry a perfect prince. Throughout the story, she’s forced to step up, and gets to explore her dream to be a knight in shining armour instead. She’s eleven at the beginning, and fourteen by the end.

[name_f][/name_f]
[name_f][/name_f]
[name_f][/name_f][name_f][/name_f][name_f]Imogen[/name_f][name_f][/name_f]

[name_f]Imogen[/name_f] is the second, and youngest daughter of [name_m]King[/name_m] [name_m]Rupert[/name_m], and [name_f]Queen[/name_f] [name_f]Isolde[/name_f], and between being the second daughter, and middle child, she gets overlooked a lot, but in the end, plays a critical role in ending the war between [name_m]Sinclair[/name_m] and [name_m]Diggory[/name_m]. She’s nine at the beginning, and twelve at the end.

[name_f][/name_f]
[name_f][/name_f]
[name_f][/name_f][name_f][/name_f][name_m]Anselm[/name_m][name_f][/name_f]

[name_m]Anselm[/name_m] is the youngest child of the royal family of [name_m]Sinclair[/name_m], and is regularly the target if assassination attempts, both in an attempt to end the bloodline, and cripple the family unit of the [name_m]Sinclair[/name_m] royals. He’s eight at the start of the story, and eleven at the end.

[name_f][/name_f]
[name_f][/name_f]

It’s set in a fantasy world that is mostly styled after Medieval [name_f]England[/name_f], but there’s no magic, it’s just not our world. [name_m]The[/name_m] story starts with their home, [name_m]Castle[/name_m] [name_m]Sinclair[/name_m] being attacked by knights of [name_m]Diggory[/name_m], and ends three years later, with [name_m]Thaddeus[/name_m] executing Diggory’s king, [name_m]King[/name_m] [name_m]Crispin[/name_m], and happily marrying the only heir to the throne of [name_m]Diggory[/name_m], [name_f]Princess[/name_f] [name_f]Hannelore[/name_f]. [name_m]Edmund[/name_m] gets to become a scholar, [name_f]Elsbeth[/name_f] later becomes a knight, [name_f]Imogen[/name_f] gets to travel the world later on, and [name_m]Anselm[/name_m], being last in line to the throne, gets to live a life in peace, like he always wanted to.

I hope everyone has fun with this, I just ask that everyone is kind to everyone else.

the other thread does still seem to be active, the last post was a couple months ago! so you might want to post this there instead and revive it a little :blush: your characters sound very cool (and have gorgeous names)!

I guess saying that it seems inactive was the wrong wording. It seemed like it had been a couple months since there had been any activity, so I wasn’t sure if I should try there, or create my own. I went with creating my own. Hopefully I get some responses, but if I don’t, I may try adding my characters there.

Ooh, your idea sounds so cool!

I’m not really sure how to headcannon, but I’ll give it a try.

[name_m]Thaddeus[/name_m]

Carries a lot of anxiety about becoming king. He doesn’t feel ready.

[name_m]Edmund[/name_m]

Is a better leader than he thinks he is, but carries trauma due to his father’s death.

[name_f]Elsbeth[/name_f]

Is the perfect princess, but not to the point that it suffocates who she really is. She’s beautiful, but not delicate, and can hold her own in a fight.

[name_f]Imogen[/name_f]

Holds a secret power that no one else knows about until it helps her kingdom win the war. [name_f]She[/name_f] herself spends the book learning how to use said power.

[name_m]Anselm[/name_m]

Is more mature than his age would imply and wishes people would stop trying to assassinate him. He also likes to read.

Please let me know how I did! I’m very open to feedback. :blush:

  • I could so see [name_m]Thaddeus[/name_m] being really worried about becoming king. I see him as a very confident young man, so I love the idea of a hidden insecurity like that.

  • [name_m]Edmund[/name_m] would definitely be more inclined towards leadership than he thinks, and being one of the last members of the family to see his father alive, he definitely carries trauma from it.

  • I think that’s the best part of [name_f]Elsbeth[/name_f], she is perfect, graceful, elegant, poised, and proper, but as shown in her dreams of becoming a knight, she’s a fighter.

  • I wasn’t quite sure what role [name_f]Imogen[/name_f] might play, I love the idea of her having some sort of secret power or ability.

  • [name_m]Anselm[/name_m] is definitely more mature than he ought to be, likely a product of this war between [name_m]Sinclair[/name_m] and [name_m]Diggory[/name_m].

These are great, thank you so much!
