gacha headcanons and shit: the sequel

that goddamn pandora rewrite

this is rushed, v unpolished and just generally sucks, but this disastergirl has been living in my brain rent free for over a month and i need to get this out of my system before i lose my goddamn mind so uh. yeah

spoiler alert: we pretty much only got a handful of breadcrumbs in terms of her personality and frankly some of those crumbs are covered in mold, so a solid 90% of this is pulled straight outta my ass. shes basically an oc at this point

(although, is that really a spoiler in THIS fandom?)

okay so. first off when it comes to characterization i tend to start with how a characters background shaped them into who they are
...which is where we run into problem number one: her backstory outside of "sols daughter" and "chaos magic" is really vague. we dont know what she was doing between aquas sacrifice and unsealing sol, how she even found out sol was alive let alone that hes stuck in that coffin thing or how exactly aqua sacrificed herself

(but hey, thats what headcanons are for, right?)

so in this rewrite pandora survived because aqua teleported her away to another one of their creators worlds shortly before dying (yes she can do that apparently. look i know it sounds farfetched, just roll with it) and she ended up in an orphanage, where her needs were barely met. hence she learned to only rely on herself

(also in this rewrite she doesnt actually find out sol is alive or his whole deal until waaay down the line since it fits better with her direction as a character. (she has to go An Arc abt it ala su) so yea im retconning away the one thing she does in canon lmao)

having to deal with her whole world being destroyed before she even finshed primary school (also as far as she knows her dad just went out for milk one day and never came back + in an orphanage both peers and caretakers come and go whenever), to her nothing was permanent, not her peers, not the caretakers, not even this world really. since anything and anyone can be taken away at a moments notice, whats the point in forming attachments or pursuing any higher goal? and so she keeps everyone at arms length, pushes away anyone that tries to get close to her so she doesnt have to feel that crushing pain when they leave her

...and yet shes lonely. she craves connection, yet pushes away anyone that tries to get close to her out of fear that theyll abandon her. its painful cycle

which is where kitsy comes in...

...in the next chapter. that is if anyone is actually interested in reading more about my cringe fail daughter. love a girl with an innate ability to just fucking survive somehow (got it from her old man i suppose)

happy halloween everybody<3
