Interpretation differs from canon - accepting
♤ Has your muse developed to be different from their canon selves through roleplay?
Honestly, this is difficult for me to answer as I’ve only been roleplaying Whitley for, uh…counts fingers…four days? I’ve had very little time to explore his character, but at the same time, I’ve certainly diverted from what we’ve SEEN in canon so far (Coughs @wintersrapier ). Do I know if he’d actually get emotional to someone being nice to him? To having his sisters around? Being cared for? No. Do I think he would, because he’s literally a lonely fifteen year old boy? Yes.
✍ Has new canon material ever forced you to adjust your headcanons?
I’ll answer this one generally and say: Fuck canon.
Okay no not fuck canon, but, unless it’s something DETRIMENTAL to a headcanon and a character, then I don’t think so. Unless it comes to like, canon names of characters we hadn’t had named yet (Jaune’s sisters for example), things like that will be adjusted accordingly. But once I get attached to a headcanon I become feral and refuse to let it go no matter what canon says.
✎ What do you wish the author would reveal/had revealed about your muse?
I would be THRILLED to see some flash-backs of the Schnee siblings when they were young and how they interacted before they all grew up and things shattered around them. I want to know of their relationships before Winter went to the military, before Weiss went to Beacon, I want to know how drastically it all changed between them.
❀ Share a headcanon you have not shared.
Whitley is young, and has had almost NO experience to explore anything about the world around him, let alone himself, as I believe the Schnees were home-schooled upon growing up, and thus, has had no proper interaction with others their age until leaving home. Because of it, the moment Whitley gets ANY semblance of freedom, this kid is going to go wild; he wants to act like an idiot, he wants to eat cheap, greasy food, he WANTS to make friends, but he has to be shown how to let go and actually act his age, which, is not an adult.
