gabenath headcanons to fill the time, pt.2 ✨
gabriel was a rather punchy teenager. he’s had a boxer’s fracture in his right hand and his septum is (very subtly) deviated from a previous break, but you’d have to know what to look for in order to notice it.
nathalie is a somewhat restless, anxious sleeper and can be prone to waking up for no reason at all. she sleeps with a weighted blanket to relax her body and keep herself asleep (but being the little spoon also really helps…).
gabriel has the odd little “superpower” of being able approximate measurements at a glance with incredible accuracy. very useful for tailoring.
nathalie has a particular penchant for linguistics and keeps several languages under her belt. given any free time, she does her best to maintain fluency of them.
gabriel is shockingly tactile. he’ll twirl pens when idle, his fingers are often the first part of his body to reflect his emotions (twitching when intrigued, clenching when irritated, etc.), and he learns best when he can get his hands on something.
nathalie, despite the effort she exerts to appear impassible, has certain tells: she looks to the left when she’s lying, and to the right when she’s flustered.
gabriel’s taste in music is largely: french classical, 50s chanson française, 50s/60s rock n’ roll, and 70s punk.
nathalie has a little scar at her hairline hidden by her bangs, from when she’d fallen out of a tree in youth. despite entertaining many intellectual, indoor hobbies, she also really enjoyed spending time out in nature by herself.
gabriel’s early designs and first few collections were very art nouveau-influenced, but he’s since progressed toward art deco and remained staunchly in that general sphere.
nathalie likes to recommend books as a means of showing affection. if you recommend one back, and she likes it, she’ll like you even more.
gabenath are ambivalent to the horror genre at best, but nathalie is most compelled by folk horror, gabriel by religious horror.
gabenath both have their preferred bar sport: nathalie is killer with darts and gabriel remains undefeated at pool.
gabenath’s zodiac signs are aquarius (gabriel) and capricorn (nathalie); gabriel’s birthday is in january and nathalie’s is in december.
gabenath are on-again-off-again smokers. if one of them is smoking, it’s inevitable that the other one will eventually fall back into the habit.
gabenath started needing glasses at vastly different points of their life; nathalie was as young as 10 when she needed her first pair, and gabriel only needed his first pair sometime after adrien was born. neither are fond of contacts.
