So, with that height headcanon out of the way, I tend to view Bianca as around 4'8" during the Rhadore campaign. I think setting her(12) at 4'8" and him(14) at 5'2" feels almost normal for two kids. He isn't too much taller than her here. Not really back yet to fully posting yet. Still taking things one day at a time.
In standard human biology, girls enter and complete their growth spurts significantly earlier than boys. A typical human girl reaches approximately 93% to 95% of her adult height by age 12, with skeletal growth slowing drastically after the onset of menarche and concluding around ages 14 to 15. Boys, conversely, experience a delayed onset, typically beginning their primary growth acceleration between ages 12 and 15, and continuing until age 18 to 21.
Bianca’s Growth Trajectory
Because Bianca’s human vessel follows standard female physiological milestones, her growth curve is front-loaded:
Age 12: 4'8" (142 cm) — She has reached roughly 93.3% of her final height. She is petite, but structurally proportional for a pre-adolescent girl.
Age 14: 4'11" (150 cm) — Her skeletal growth slows down significantly as her human plates begin to fuse.
Age 18 to 23: 5'0" (152 cm) — Her final adult height. Her growth halts entirely, leaving her exceptionally compact compared to the standard military baseline of the SOLDIER program. Just imagine a 5 foot SOLDIER. It is hilarious.
Sephiroth’s Growth Trajectory
Sephiroth’s development is radically altered by the presence of localized Jenova cells, which dictate a prolonged, highly aggressive masculine growth phase that far outstrips normal human limitations:
Age 14: 5'2" (157 cm) — He is slender, slight, and only moderately taller than Bianca. His frame is still narrow, lacking the massive shoulder width he develops later.
Age 16 (The Post-Rhadore Surge): 5'10" (178 cm) — His secondary growth spurt triggers an intense elongation of the femur and spinal column.
Age 20: 6'4" (193 cm) — with a towering presence, though his frame continues to pack on dense muscular mass.
Adult (Remake/Vanguard Era): 6'7" (200 cm) — His final height, creating a permanent 19-inch (48 cm) height differential between himself and Bianca.
Possible Trigger Warnings: Body horror, chronic pain, medical trauma, physical abuse, self-harm (implied/medical context)
Because of their profound soul-bond and shared childhood trauma, Sephiroth’s massive physical frame never acts as an imposing or intimidating force against Bianca. Instead, his 6'7" stature functions as a highly specialized, tactical shield designed to accommodate her permanent physical vulnerabilities.
Because Bianca's humerus bones were permanently shattered by Hojo at age four, her massive 9.92-foot wingspan consists of heavy, non-retractable, ornamental plumage supported by internal structural wires. She cannot fold them flat or pull them tightly against her spine to minimize her profile. In combat and public settings, Sephiroth (and Angeal and Genesis to a degree) uses his broad, V-shaped shoulder span and tall frame to position his body directly between incoming threats and Bianca’s left and right flanks. When standing directly in front of or slightly offset from her, his 6'7" frame creates a literal "blind spot" or physical shadow that naturally covers the widest arc of her exposed wings.
In the high-density upper plates of Midgar or crowded Shinra military complexes, Sephiroth deliberately walks half a step ahead or positions an arm slightly behind her waist. This physical barrier ensures that passing infantrymen, corporate handlers, or moving equipment cannot accidentally jostle, strike, or aggravate the highly sensitive, arthritic skeletal structure of her permanently manifested wings.
More Preening stuff.
The extreme height differential directly shapes the daily maintenance protocol required to manage Bianca's advanced, localized arthritis and armored S-cell pinfeathers.
During the grueling preening routine, Bianca is entirely unable to rotate or lift her deformed wings. Because Sephiroth towers over her at 6'7", he has optimal mechanical leverage when she is seated. He can stand completely upright behind her, utilizing his height to look down over the entire expanse of her 9.92-foot wingspan. This allows him to meticulously locate, unzip, and debride the rock-hard keratin sheaths near the top structural joints of her wings without forcing her to bend forward or alter her posture, minimizing her muscular spasms.
When Bianca suffers severe somatic pain spikes due to weather transitions or Mako density variations, she rests her head directly against the center of Sephiroth's chest. Because her 5'0" height places her temples and forehead perfectly level with his sternum and heart, their proximity maximizes the sensory transfer of the Red Thread of Fate. Sephiroth can wrap his arms entirely around her small frame, completely enveloping her to dull the somatic pain signaling through their bond while keeping his hands free to monitor for developing blood feathers along her lower plumage.
Battlefield Coordination Stuff
In active combat zones, the contrast between the Stoic (Sephiroth) and the Firebird (Firebird) creates an incredibly lethal, highly synchronized vanguard dynamic rather than a standard bodyguard layout.
Bianca’s compact 5'0", 105-pound human frame allows her to maintain an exceptionally low center of gravity. This makes her highly agile, allowing her to dart beneath the sweeping arcs of larger weapons, utilizing her demonic tachi Noctemaris for rapid, close-quarters spatial and temporal reality-bending strikes.
When an incoming heavy blast or area-of-effect spell targets her location, Sephiroth utilizes his massive reach and long leg stride to instantly close the distance. He steps directly over her lower defensive posture, dropping his center of mass to form an immovable physical anchor. By locking his broad frame over her, he provides a massive, high-armor barrier that completely breaks the line of sight for ranged attackers, allowing Bianca to safely cast her corrupted ice magic or converse with the Lifestream spirits from the safety of the pocket created beneath his long arms.

A huge shoutout and thank you to @prehistoric-creatures for sending this prompt my way. I had so much fun mapping out these specific years, and I really hope this hits the exact vibe you were looking for.
We are diving deep into the adolescent years for Bianca and Sephiroth, charting their growth from ages 14 to 18. This covers the immediate aftermath of Bianca's vivisection scars, their shared trauma during the Rhadore campaign, navigating the absolute nightmare of Shinra's public relations machine, and finally, that pivotal shift at 18 when the corporate breeding program kicks off and Sephiroth starts wearing his iconic open-chest wardrobe (which Bianca has some thoughts about, naturally). Our poor innocent angel doesn't have innocent thoughts.
It's a mix of heavy angst, survival, and the quiet, comforting moments that keep them grounded.
Possible Trigger Warnings: Body horror, coercive control, corporate exploitation, forced drugging, medical abuse, psychological manipulation, violence, warfare
Ages 14–15: Healing and the Rhadore Campaign
At 14, Sephiroth is thrust into his first military campaign in Rhadore. Bianca, at 12, is a fierce but deeply kind "caged prodigy" adjusting to life outside a high-security lab cell, carrying the heavy purple scars of her recent vivisection.
During their first field deployment to the Logues Ruins in Rhadore, fourteen-year-old Sephiroth frequently positioned his broad shoulders slightly ahead of twelve-year-old Bianca. He did this intentionally to block her view of the freshly slaughtered Rhadoran soldiers, sheltering her sensitive, celestial-attuned mind from the immediate psychic shock of mass death.
At 0730 in their temporary Rhadoran base camp, Sephiroth quietly slid his portion of grilled fish onto Bianca’s metal tray. He noticed she was staring blankly at her light porridge with honey, completely overwhelmed by the lingering spiritual weight of the island's fallen inhabitants, and knew she needed grounding, solid sustenance.
It had been exactly one year since Bianca had survived the horrific vivisection under Hojo. While her demonic resilience had knit the twisting purple mark wrapping around her belly button, the skin remained hypersensitive. Sephiroth spent their morning acting as a silent perimeter shield so she could stretch her back without Shinra technicians staring at her torso.
when Glenn Lodbrok first saw twelve-year-old Bianca fiercely clinging to Sephiroth's oversized training jacket, he loudly barked, "Look at that, the company gave Sephiroth a little pint-sized girlfriend to carry his spare materia." Bianca instantly bared her sharp fangs at him, but Sephiroth simply stepped between them.
When Glenn callously kicked Sephiroth’s mother’s necklace into the churning sea during the confrontation over Rosen, Bianca didn't hesitate. Driven by an unyielding, protective fury for the boy who had held her organs inside her chest a year prior, she lunged forward and delivered a swift, stinging punch directly to Glenn’s nose, her blood-red stiletto nails flashing in the damp air.
Following the heartbreaking mercy kill of Rosen, Sephiroth returned to her in a state of absolute, robotic dissociation. Bianca didn’t say a single word; she simply unlooped the glowing Red Thread of Fate from her fingers, wrapped it securely around his trembling wrist, and allowed the psychic bond to drain away his suffocating sense of guilt until his breathing normalized.
Before Team Glenn defected, they left the morose dog, Refu, behind in the barracks, and the animal initially refused to eat anything. Bianca spent her entire lunch sitting on the cold floor, trying to hand-feed the hound scraps of dried meat she had smuggled from the cafeteria, while Sephiroth watched silently from the doorway, deeply moved by her innate kindness.
Ages 16–17: The Rise of Heroes and the Robio Mission
Sephiroth enters his peak popularity as a war hero, while Bianca is officially branded by Shinra's PR department as the "Angel of Shinra" and the "Saint of SOLDIER." Their bond deepens from childhood survival into an unspoken, fierce teenage devotion.
As Sephiroth’s mind began to fracture under Hojo’s escalating pressure, he deliberately dulled his side of the Soul-Link to prevent his dark thoughts from polluting Bianca’s mind. For three agonizing weeks, Bianca was met with nothing but cold, static resonance across the Red Ribbon, driving her feisty temperament into a frenzy of stubborn determination to break through his walls.
When Shinra’s marketing division realized Sephiroth was becoming increasingly hostile toward Russ Bachman’s camera crews, they systematically separated the duo. They paired fifteen-year-old Bianca with Genesis Rhapsodos for a high-profile border territory campaign, intentionally selecting Genesis's glamorous, photogenic aesthetic to serve as the perfect corporate mask for the "Angel of Shinra."
At 1130 before their televised departure, handlers attempted to force Bianca to drink an echo screen distillate laced with a 0.05mg mood tranquilizer to guarantee absolute compliance.
The glossy, scripted PR tour dissolved into complete chaos when regional insurgents violently ambushed their convoy. While the civilian camera crews panicked, thirteen-year-old Bianca completely ignored the chain of command, running directly into the smoking line of fire to kneel in the mud beside a shattered, bleeding Shinra infantryman.
It was during this specific ambush that the cameras caught raw, unedited footage of Bianca utilizing her corrupted celestial magic to stitch a dying trooper’s chest wound closed. She held his trembling hand, speaking with an absolute, radiant warmth that completely bypassed her predatory, succubus-like features, instantly earning her the lifelong public title of the "Saint of SOLDIER."
When a secondary insurgent squad attempted to flank Bianca while her celestial aura was entirely drained from healing the wounded, Genesis intercepted them. He unleashed a devastating attack, physically shielding her from an incoming mortar blast and sustaining a minor scorch mark across his leather coat, completely solidifying their lifelong bickering friendship.
Following their survival at the border, Bianca broke straight through Genesis’s rigid, theatrical walls by playfully mocking his endless LOVELESS recitations. She would purposefully draw tiny, satirical doodles of him wearing a ridiculous crown on the margins of his poetry journals, which Genesis would pretend to despise while secretly preserving the pages in his desk.
Upon her frantic return to the Midgar quarters, Bianca broke right through Sephiroth's self-imposed isolation by slamming a plastic cup of chocolate pudding onto his desk: the rare reward Hojo used to make them share as children. She climbed directly onto his lap, burying her face into his high-collared jacket and cried until the icy static in the Red Thread dissolved into a warm, rhythmic pulse.
Daily life
In the restricted upper levels of the VR Training Room, Sephiroth refused to let anyone else train Bianca’s spatial and reality-bending capabilities. He designed a highly specific sword synchronization drill where she had to call Noctemaris from its temporal portal exactly three inches away from the sweeping arc of his Masamune, trusting his precise blade control implicitly.
During their post-training cooldown windows, Angeal Hewley would often sit on a crate with a towel over his neck, delivering long, solemn lectures about the sacred honor of a SOLDIER. Bianca, hiding her exhaustion behind her natural mischief, would use her shadow manipulation to make Angeal’s shadow to appear tiny.
Because Shinra’s scientists heavily regulated Bianca’s midday meals to include refined tantal extract, she despised the sterile taste. Sephiroth systematically learned how to bake fresh, heavy artisanal loaves of bread during his late-night hours, hollowing out the crusts to pack them with sweet berry preserves that completely masked the medical additives.
Shinra’s PR department frequently forced Bianca into elaborate, pristine white gowns for seasonal charity appearances at the upper plate hospitals to emphasize her "Angel" persona. To reclaim a tiny sliver of her chaotic agency, Bianca would secretly write highly offensive, ancient Enochian insults along the interior lining of her white hair ribbon, knowing the media cameras were completely oblivious.
Whenever Hojo’s voice crackled over the intercom during their morning biometric scans, Bianca would instinctively bite her lower lip until her sharp upper fangs nearly drew blood. Sephiroth would immediately shift his immense frame, blocking the remote observation lenses with his broad shoulders while gently sliding his thumb across her chin to break her nervous, self-destructive habit.
Standing on a secluded cliffside overlooking the ocean during a winter retreat, fourteen-year-old Bianca looked up at the cloudy sky and whispered, "They think they manufactured us to be their perfect, pretty weapons, Seph. But they forgot we have our own souls."
The Breaking Point & Transition of Power (Age 17 & 15)
When news arrived of massive casualties among the infantry units, Bianca spent her entire quiet hour window refusing her sedatives. Instead, she lay perfectly flat on the floor and used her celestial nature to guide the frantic, wandering spirits of the newly dead to embrace the Lifestream.
As the corporate media campaigns intensified, Bianca began wearing mirrored sunglasses everywhere she went outside their private quarters. While Shinra spun this as an elite, high-fashion statement for the "Angel of Shinra," Sephiroth knew she was using the reflective lenses to hide her slitted, feline-like pupils whenever her demonic corruption began to flare from stress.
As Sephiroth’s hair grew significantly past his waist, the morning styling routine became a sacred, unalterable ritual. After he finished his precise Masamune katas at 0530, he would sit perfectly still on the edge of the bed while Bianca knelt behind him. Her fingers weaved his grey locks into intricate, defensive braids that she would secure with small, hidden metal clasps.
Whenever the Shinra cafeteria attempted to serve Bianca bland, cold white fish to minimize her digestive stress during PR weeks, her feisty nature flared. She would wait until the server turned their back, then use her spatial portals to swap her unseasoned plate with the massive, savory portions of grilled pork and spiced rice Sephiroth was designated to eat, grinning.
Off-camera, fifteen-year-old Bianca completely rejected the white, pure garments chosen by the PR handlers. She began sneaking pieces of dark leather, heavy metal buckles, and frayed black denim into their private quarters, creating a highly customized, subterranean wardrobe that perfectly matched her demonic side.
Bianca began wearing a flowing, heavy black trench coat with deep interior pockets that she had modified herself. She spent her mornings raiding the First Class lounges for hard candies, chocolates, and dried fruit, stuffing the lining full so she could secretly distribute the treats to the underfed orphans she encountered in the slums.
The Icon of 18: The Open Coat & Absolute Retaliation (Age 18 & 16)
When Sephiroth officially turned eighteen, Shinra’s elite design division unveiled his permanent, signature wardrobe: the heavy black trench coat with silver pauldrons, leather suspenders, and absolutely no shirt underneath. When he first walked into their private Midgar apartment wearing the open coat, revealing his broad chest, sixteen-year-old Bianca’s composure completely shattered.
Seeing him stand there with his silver hair flowing over his bare torso, Bianca’s face turned an intense, burning shade of crimson that rivaled her blood-red nails. She immediately snatched her woolen beanie and threw it directly at his chest. "Corporate designers have completely lost their minds, Seph! You’re going to give the entire upper plate a collective heart attack!"
During the media campaigns that followed his wardrobe change, Sephiroth would intentionally stand exactly a half-step behind Bianca. He let her radiant, warm, and newly defined "Angel of Shinra" persona completely dominate the press lenses, content to act as her silent, terrifyingly handsome protector while she effortlessly charmed the populace.

literally crying screaming throwing up because my week has been an absolute dumpster fire, so i am arriving on my hands and knees to beg for crumbs. i know i don’t even play ff7 but your redemption au has me in a chokehold?? bianca and sephiroth are literally everything to me. please bless my dashboard with some incredibly soft, cute, low-stakes headcanons for them?? i just need them being happy and domestic to heal my soul fr 🙏✨
Hi, Prehistoric. Sorry your week has been bad. Sure I can give you some headcanons. Hope this week is better. This is based on their height differences: Bianca is 5 foot; Sephiroth, 6'7".
After a long mission, Sephiroth will sit on the floor of their living room with Bianca sitting between his knees. He uses a soft brush, warm water, and specialized oils to carefully clean the mud and grime from her feathers, since her wings are so large that they tips of them drag behind her like a cape. He is incredibly gentle around the sensitive scar tissue where her wings meet her back, using his touch to soothe the inflammation. While Sephiroth is meticulously preening her feathers, Bianca isn't just sitting still.
Because he is sitting right behind her, his silver hair falls perfectly over her shoulders. She spends the entire time humming softly to herself, happily braiding his hair, weaving small beads into the silver strands. By the time they are done, her wings are pristine, and Sephiroth looks like an overgrown elven king.
Because Bianca loves oversized clothing, she frequently raids Sephiroth’s civilian closet. His sweaters look like massive, cozy dresses on her. She has to roll the sleeves up four or five times just to find her hands. Sephiroth secretly loves seeing her swimming in his clothes, finding it deeply grounding to see the planet's most feared warrior reduced to a soft, swallowed-up bundle of knits.
When Bianca is overwhelmed by the whispers of Asmodeus or S-cell exhaustion, her fatal flaw makes her want to keep moving and run away from her pain. Sephiroth stops this simply by using his height to trap her in a massive embrace. He will wrap his arms completely around her, tucking her head under his chin, and fold his own majestic black wing completely over her and her broken wings. It creates a dark, completely silent, heavily insulated shield where the rest of the world disappears, instantly calming her.
When Sephiroth kisses her or when she is holding the twins, Aurora and Lucien, Bianca's wings will involuntarily puff up, her feathers ruffling until she looks twice her actual size. Sephiroth can read her wing language perfectly. If she is being sassy or sarcastic, but her feathers slightly poofing out, he knows she's completely content.
When they lie down together, she will curl tightly into his side, and Sephiroth will reached over, carefully gathering the heavy mass of her top wing, and pull it over his own chest like a dense, velvety blanket. He handles the limb with absolute reverence, knowing how heavy it feels to her spine during the day. As they settle, he gently strokes the soft, downy feathers right at the base of the wing joint: one of the few areas where she still has full, hypersensitive nerve sensation. The soothing pressure releases all her built-up tension, eliciting soft, rumbling purring noises from her chest as she drifts off to sleep.
In their kitchen in Rinnos, Sephiroth deliberately puts her favorite Wutai green tea and baking ingredients on the highest shelves. He doesn't do it to be mean. He does it because he absolutely adores watching her stubborn determination. Because her 23.6-pound wings are dead weight, stretching up to her tiptoes completely throws off her balance, causing her to lean precariously forward against the counter so she doesn't topple backward. When she inevitably huffs, pinned by her own gravity, and turns her head to glare over her shoulder at him, Sephiroth steps up right behind her. He presses his chest against her back—acting as a solid, unyielding brace to support her weight—effortlessly reaches the item, and leaves a kiss on the top of her head before handing it over.

Hey everyone! This was inspired by a recent conversation I had with my dear friend, @sapphirothcrescent, about how Bianca will never experience true flight in the Redemption!AU.
I’m finally crawling out of my warm bed to share some thoughts before I dive back into my next may-lancholy entry later today.
I’ve been sitting with some heavy visuals regarding Bianca’s wings in the Redemption!AU, and I wanted to talk about why her flight is such a complicated, gilded trap in Fantasy Worlds Collide.
I appreciate the comments on how Bianca is relatable to those who DM me, comment on her posts, or send asks (which I don't publish since I'm a greedy goblin and like to keep those to read when I get imposter syndrome).
Possible Trigger Warnings: Child abuse, chronic pain, medical trauma, non-consensual medical procedures, psychological trauma, CSA (allusions/symbolism)
The Symbolism of the Shattered Wing
In the Redemption!AU, Bianca’s wings aren't just fantasy appendages. They are a physical manifestation of her history as Subject N01. I’ve always written her wing pain as a triple-layered symbol. It’s the reality of a chronic pain sufferer, the long road of trauma recovery, and—most significantly—the internal landscape of an CSA survivor.
In the world of Fantasy Worlds Collide (FWC), taking the sky from an angel is a violation of the most intimate degree. When Hojo used those gardening loppers on a four-year-old Bianca, he wasn't just performing surgery. He was stealing her autonomy and her voice before she even had a chance to use it. Even in the main FWC canon where she can fly, she views them as a problematic, gilded trap. They are a target. They are the reason she was caged by humanity and tortured by her father, Asmodeus.
Sephiroth: The Reluctant Caretaker
There is something profoundly heartbreaking about Sephiroth being the perfect caretaker. We know him as the Silver General, the cool, professional commander who is the pinnacle of SOLDIER. But in the Redemption!AU, that grace is channeled into the most domestic, quiet acts of service.
My husband, Justin, has been a huge inspiration for this dynamic, as this is how he acts with my own chronic pain. It’s that steady, unwavering presence that doesn't need to ask what's wrong? Because he already knows. Sephiroth and Bianca have slept together—in the sense of sharing a space and a soul—since they were toddlers sharing a single crate and a thin blanket in that windowless room on the R&D floor. (Thank you Ever Crisis.) They’ve never truly slept apart. They are the only home the other has ever known.
The Just Friends Waffles
I love the idea that before they could even admit they loved each other, Sephiroth perfected exactly one thing: waffles. He isn't a chef. He’s a military man who was raised on nutrient slurries, MREs, rations, and Mess Hall food (when Angeal didn't cook for them).
But he learned the exact scent of vanilla and cinnamon that could ground Bianca after a nightmare. It was his way of saying I love you when the words felt too dangerous to speak in a Shinra hallway.
Even now, when things are better, the first thing he does after a bad night is head to the kitchenette. It’s a peace offering and a grounding ritual. He doesn't offer the sky. He offers a warm plate and extra syrup and butter.
Weaponizing the PR Machine
Because Shinra views them as their Golden Couple, they are often sent on these high-profile PR campaigns to places like Costa del Sol. For most, it’s a chore, but Sephiroth has learned to weaponize that corporate greed for Bianca’s sake. He uses the resources of these trips to give her back a sense of flight that Hojo tried to kill.
Whether it’s parasailing behind a high-speed Shinra cruiser or taking her gliding through the ocean thermals, he makes sure she feels the wind in her feathers without the agony of her shattered bones having to bear the weight. He becomes her wings in the most literal sense.
The Princess Treatment in the Vanguard
When they are out with the Vanguard, the dynamic shifts to tactical, but the care remains. Because Bianca’s wings can't sustain flight, if the team needs to reach a high vantage point or cross a chasm, Sephiroth doesn't even hesitate. He just scoops her up in a perfect princess carry and takes to the sky himself.
Zack, being Zack, can never let it slide without a comment. He’s always teasing them about Bianca getting the top-tier princess treatment, usually while side-eyeing Aerith and wondering aloud if he should start carrying her like that everywhere.
Since Zack/Aerith is the main ship for Aerith and Zack in this AU, it adds this lighthearted, normal SOLDIER banter to an otherwise heavy situation. It turns her disability from a point of shame into a moment of shared brotherhood and affection. Sephiroth doesn't see it as a burden. He sees it as holding his heart while he flies.
The Reality of Chronic Pain
I wanted to highlight the invisible work Sephiroth does to keep her functional. In this AU, he keeps her pain balm right in the end table by the bed. It’s a routine move for him now, reaching for it in the dark while she’s still mid-whimper from a dream.
He also used every bit of his privilege as a 1st Class SOLDIER to secure medical-grade injections for her. It wasn't just about the physical ease. It was Sephiroth pulling rank against the very company that broke her bones in the first place. It’s his way of shielding her from the poison of the barometric pressure that drags on her fused, scarred tissue.
The Grounded Future
When I think about them with Aurora and Lucien, it hits different. Sephiroth and Bianca decided early on that they would fill their home with things that didn't require the sky. That’s why just a crayons moment I wrote when I was in pain due to nerve damage is so big for me.
Instead of promising the twins heights that Bianca can't reach, they focus on the ground. Wax, paper, and scribbles. Things they can do together on the floor or at the barstool (as Bianca cannot sit in chairs with backs due to pain). It’s an acknowledgment that while her wings might be weights that tether her to the earth, the earth doesn't have to be a laboratory floor anymore. It can be a place of waffles, strawberries, and colorful drawings.
I’m going to go pass out for a few hours now, but expect the next may-lancholy entry once I’m awake. We're leaning into the grit and the comfort, because you can't have one without the other in the Vanguard.
Fluffy stuff is coming in October in the Redemption!AU, but I think that's why that AU is so popular. It's grounded in the found family vibe and the knowledge that one crippled woman can be so much more.
Love you guys! See you in the next post later today.

Love that my Redemption!AU HC is still valid. Sephiroth enjoying beer and Bianca not. She doesn't like to drink.
I also HC Genesis liking apple wine, which is supposed to have a more complex flavor profile to hard cider. For Angeal, most likely some type of lager.
Hello, my Sephiroth-loving friend. Thank you so much for sending this in and your interest in Bianca.
I decided to give you headcanons from all the arcs in FWC, since it's been a while since I did headcanons for Bianca.
Fantasy Worlds Collide (FWC) is an apocalyptic mythpunk saga that weaves dark fantasy, cosmic horror, religious eschatology, tragic romance, and recontextualized Final Fantasy VII canon into one evolving universe. It begins in original territory — Earth, divinity, exile, autonomy — before folding FFVII into its mythology as a pivotal science-fantasy arc. Canon characters are not borrowed for nostalgia. they are reframed as cosmological forces within a larger divine system. Shinra becomes institutionalized blasphemy. Jenova becomes an archetype of invasive creation. Sephiroth becomes both apocalypse and ascension. The story then transcends canon entirely, expanding into Godling and Kilonova eras where original deities, celestial children, and end-times sovereignty define the narrative.
Possible Trigger Warnings: body modification, betrayal, surgical trauma references
Pandemonix Arc
Sleeps lightly and always faces the door.
Drinks coffee black. No sugar, no cream, no excuses.
Owns multiple leather jackets and insists each one serves a different function
Sketches celestial sigils absentmindedly when anxious.
Counts exits in every room without consciously meaning to.
Feeds stray cats behind Mordecai’s villa and pretends she doesn’t care what they’re named. Her favorite is a huge black tomcat named Alistair. This is an homage to my love for Dragon Age.
Prefers owls to all other animals: silent, observant, lethal if required.
FFVII Arc
Keeps Sephiroth’s fallen feathers in a velvet-lined box. Organized by size. Gets mad if they just dissipate into smoke.
Laughs softly during combat: controlled, unsettling.
Rotates body wash scents seasonally. Winter means she smells like sugar cookies.
Keeps her surgical scar visible by choice.
Preens her wings meticulously — especially before seeing Sephiroth.
Observes Vincent not for drama, but for cosmic architecture implications. If the Planet has a failsafe, Bianca and Sephiroth must know about it. But she is not above playing a cat and mouse game with Vincent by showing him illusions of Lucrecia.
After her death at the North Crater, her soul was shattered and sent to different parts in the Multiverse. There is a Bianca shard out there that is part of a coffee shop AU where Sephiroth is just a normal human.
None of her clothing is 'bought'. Her combat and every day clothing is created by reality magic. There was a brief time where I debated the following: if her concentration breaks, she loses her clothes and, thus, her outfits would disappear and she'd be standing there nude.
Collects relics from dead civilizations the way others collect jewelry.
Still prefers a good Malbec (red wine) even when divine.
Calls hypernova prototypes “practice runs.”
Enjoys heavy metal symphonies while restructuring galaxies.
Sings lullabies softly when alone.
Considers ravens sacred observers.
She may have once turned Genesis into a stag just to amuse herself by using her reality magic (which he complained to Sephiroth about).
Godling Arc
Designed Aurora’s realm with elegance; Lucien’s with symmetry.
Does not allow Sephiroth to train the twins unsupervised.
Harmonized celestial and infernal energies into a unified state.
Favors silver and crimson in divine regalia.
Eradicated the concept of surgical violation from her domain.
Is remembered across universes as The First Goddess of Rebirth.
Still keeps the white ribbon that Sephiroth gave her the night before the Nibelheim Incident after they made love for the first time and he lost himself to Jenova. At this point, this ribbon is over a billion years old.

These headcanons explore Tsukihana not as a singular archetype, but as a layered being shaped by curse, choice, and contradiction. They trace the quiet fractures left by centuries of bondage, the unexpected softness that survives beneath his pride, the precision and cruelty of his combat instincts, and the guarded intimacy he offers only when autonomy is respected.
Together, they frame Tsukihana as a creature of fire and restraint: one who navigates anguish, affection, violence, and desire with the same sharp awareness, revealing that even a bound trickster can still choose how he loves, fights, and endures.
Angsty Headcanons
Tsukihana sometimes wakes mid-rest convinced his chains have tightened, only to realize the pain is memory echoing through his nerves.
He refuses to speak of his clan by name; doing so feels like admitting they’re truly gone.
When Bianca shows him mercy, it unsettles him more than cruelty ever did.
He believes freedom will cost him every bond he’s learned to value—and that terrifies him.
His pride masks a quiet fear that, without his curse, there’s nothing left to anchor him.
He flinches at praise, expecting it to precede punishment.
On rare nights, foxfire manifests without his control, responding to suppressed grief rather than rage.
He resents Asmodeus not only for the chains, but for making love feel transactional for centuries.
He keeps scars unhealed on purpose, proof that the past still owns him.
Letting Bianca go was the most painful act of autonomy he’s ever chosen.
Cute Headcanons
His tails puff when startled, even if his face remains composed.
He pretends not to enjoy Bianca brushing his hair, but leans subtly closer every time.
He hums old kitsune lullabies while cleaning his blades, entirely unconsciously.
When amused, he flicks his tails like a cat playing innocent.
He secretly enjoys autumn festivals, even if he claims they’re “beneath him.”
He collects trinkets that remind him of calm moments, not victories.

For Tsukihana, sex is never casual. Even when driven by desire, it carries an undercurrent of trust, choice, and mutual awareness that makes it feel earned rather than taken.
