pirate inej headcanons!!!
incorporates new patterns inspired by sailorâs knots into her braids
perches on the crowâs nest and will sit there for hours on end babbling to herself and watching the sun set over the horizon bc it reminds her of being on the rooftops in ketterdam
learns new languages!!! becomes almost as good as nina at them
curses like a sailor because specht is a bad influence and it helps her gain confidence being the leader of a crew for the first time
uses the same looking glass kaz gave her on the harbor and wears it around her neck
also wears jewelry that combines traditional suli designs with pirate symbolism like anchors and compasses made and sent to her by jesper
befriends so many marine animals!!! and loves to read about them in her spare time. is inspired by the idea of wylan and jesper naming every stray cat after her, so she starts naming different species after her friends and family. like, all sea otters are jesper because they love to play, and all whales are wylan because of their songs
every time she docks somewhere and sees a crow she likes to think itâs matthias paying her a visit and will confide in him about the mental battles she faces regarding faith and happiness
is really close with her crew and relearns how to be loud and carefree with them through things like singing sea shanties, playing card games, having meals together since now itâs no longer her job to make herself invisible
whenever she docks somewhere and has a really good meal (especially sweets), she asks for the recipe to send to nina
has made a running bit out of buying the most ridiculous looking hats at the markets for kaz wherever she travels because she thinks the look on his face will be priceless when she gifts them to him (also knowing full well that jesper will be the one who gets some use out of them)
actually buys kaz decks of cards and picks up newspapers with murder mysteries to solve together (is totally planning an apple cake and murder mystery date night when she gets back)
