Headcanon (I'm also going to split these into seperate posts because of length):
tomboychariot - Chie: I don't know why, but I always headcanon that, while Ayane can't particularly learn the same martial arts moves as Chie, she does atleast learn some rudementry form of self-defence, but most importantly about using her height to her advantage with taller bullies. ...
I also headcanon that this is the first and last time Ayane would ever get in trouble with the school for violence because she puts what Chie taught her to the test on a bully and manages to get them on the floor.
hyoriittai - Shirou & Tohru: For Shirou, at first, I headcanon that she doesn't have any feelings for him, and that actually her doting behavour is more motherly than it is anything else, but the more time she spends with him, the closer she could feel herself grow to him, until she does start developing feelings.
Tohru.. oh good golly gosh Tohru. There's so much stuff I could write but I don't want to spoil it because we've yet to RP it. Hmm.. I headcanon that he's the first person that Ayane has had a truly hard time trusting. He's also THE only person who not only brings the worst out of her, but also she isn't afraid to show her 'smart side'. Not that she's hiding that in the first place, but she's much more open about her comments and opinions than anyone else.
