Cuddliness headcanons of FE13 characters in no particular order:
Henry: Ticklish in the weirdest places and more bones than meat. You find new bloodstains every time you come away from one of these interactions.
Chrom: the Awkward One. One or more of your limbs is going to fall asleep.
Severa: not recommended. Will never initiate cuddles. Chin v. sharp. Might get tangled in her hair.
Donny: the kind who gives your ribs and extra squeeze and rubs his cheek on you while going “mmm-mmmmm-mmm!”
Tharja: extremely cold, very affectionate, your hair might be shorter at the end of this interaction.
Kellam: v. hard to pry out of his armor (will try to hug you w/ it on, still p comfortable). good hugs even though he has to bend down. will pick you up and carry you around if you let him. the kind of hugs so comfortable you forget it’s happening.
Stahl: exactly average. what do i say. Satisfying without being weird.
Frederick: the man hugs with Precision (TM). approach cautiously.
Nowi: will tickle you and may try to suplex you. might nibble outlying parts. Likely to fall asleep on you. May try to hug you in dragon form.
Cherche: slightly suffocating hugs. armor very pokey, also kind of awkward because there’s so much bare skin on her back. Minerva will join in more often than not.
Kjelle: will definitely suplex you. when she initiates huggin’s it’s more often than not gonna be rib-bruising.
Basilio: EXTREMELY touchy-feely, will definitely carry people around w/o asking. Loves giving piggy-back rides and will totally forget you’re there sometimes.
Priam: a little out of touch w/ physical contact but pretty good cuddles. actual hugs can be a little tight. Stubble is scratchy. Will always have his sword in hand while huggin’.
Panne: If you don’t mind that she smells like wet dog then she’s possibly the best cuddler around in any form. ASK FIRST she will KICK you and it will HURT otherwise. If she decides to Flop on you reclass to War Clergy because you have been Blessed.
Aversa: Depends on how into the cuddles she is; if she is not interested you will KNOW because she is Very Pointy. may bite. Great cuddler when she wants to be.
Validar: Absolutely will bite. Why would you do this.
Flavia: when sloshed gets very touchy. also will demand people sit on her back while she does push-ups. otherwise mostly prone to hearty backslaps.
Libra: Deeply affectionate. Canonically ticklish and somewhat touch-averse. Otherwise his body type is between ‘crane-like’ and ‘lumberjack’ so draw your own conclusions. Extremely pointy knees.
Gregor: very hearty bearhugs, will add some back slaps in there. loudly proclaims joy as he does so.
Virion: He smells so good and his hair is so soft omigosh. Also hugs With Precision but with less murderous intent+power. Slightly less less of a cuddlebug, likes hugs.
Olivia: lots of will-we-won’t-we on the approach, neither of you are sure when to let go. very soft even with all those dancing muscles. you could fall asleep on her hair.
Gangrel: Exceedingly ostentatious public hugs, total cuddlebug in private. Give him half a chance and you will end up literally tangled together. Try to get the crown off first. Will literally just hang on you in every moment of your free time.
Sully: Once she’s sure she wants to hug you, it’s gonna be a hard ‘n’ fast approach. Arms will smack across your back, you will get lifted off your feet regardless of height. Her horse may knock you over when you let go. Not too cuddly in general.
Sumia: will probably trip on the approach. definitely gonna get something tangled. smells like flowers and her hair is really really soft, it’s like a goddamn cloud. you will find petals and pegasus feathers on you on the release.
Ricken: tries to hug taller than he actually is. A songbird may land on his hat during. Scrabbly little child teenager arms around your neck.
Lissa: V. enthusiastic, flinging arms around your neck kind of deal. Her skirt gets in the way of everything and you will probably get tangled in it at some point. aaaand now there’s a frog down your shirt.
Emmeryn: the softest and most blest of hugs. Will cuddle ad inifinitum if you let her. Softly hums every now and then. Very comforting hugging style,
Walhart: It’s like being hugged by a goddamn wall. It’s not that it’s too tight, it just... inexorable. It’s like being buried alive in huggles. Somehow moreso when he has the armor off. His idea of cuddling is either ‘i’m sitting next to you and our sides are touching’ (he will always end up sitting a little bit on you when he does this) or ‘we just had sex and I don’t want you to go yet’.
Miriel: Another Precision Hugger. Times how long you’re in contact. Has a log for skin contact and treatises on touch starvation. Satisfying but very clinical.
Cynthia: See Lissa, but with more armor, chance of a smoke bomb going off, and her pegasus might land on you both halfway in.
Tiki: The squooshest hugs. Very cuddly and cuddleable when people actually think to approach her. Will definitely fall asleep on you.
Nah: Definitely let her initiate or she’s going to get one of those weird ideas in her head. Pretty cuddly, sharp chin and elbows.
Anna(s): I’m not gonna make a joke about her charging you, I promise. Her hair is gonna get in your face and mouth but otherwise really (identically) good.
Lucina: A little on the tight side. Kind of short because she doesn’t want to make it awkward. V open to hugs when asked.
Inigo: Good hugger but always ruins things by saying something midway in. If he doesn’t it’s probably because he’s crying on you. Has a ‘stage’ hug and a ‘real’ hug. Real hug v. affectionate.
Vaike: has not bathed recently enough. a little overly enthusiastic. Controls his strength (most of the time) but his arms seem to be everywhere at once. will hug as long as possible, very affectionate.
Gerome: Almost definitely cuddling/hugging because Minerva literally shoved you together and then wound around you til he relented. She knows what’s up. Awkward but affectionate.
Cordelia: Somewhat brisk and businesslike yet usually very affectionate. Can make you feel dressed-down and appreciated at the same time. Her hair gets everywhere.
Yarne: Contender with Panne for Best Hugger, because he’s a) hiding behind you and b) also trying to protect you from the terrors of the world, like that lamp. No ear decor, ears always flop onto your face, very soft.
Laurent: Tries to be like Miriel but can melt into cuddles. The poor boy is touch-starved please give him your affection.
Say’ri: Similar to Cordelia, maybe a little cuddlier. Will actually literally drop you if she’s suddenly called into battle though. Will sometimes hold your hand + walk shoulder-to-shoulder when neither of you are busy.
Yen’fay: A lot like a taller Say’ri, less likely to drop you. Will fall asleep on you, but you can’t always tell. Watch the headgear, it’s poky. Never complains about getting hot during prolonged cuddles.
Lon’qu: Not cuddly At All, touch-averse but also touch-starved. Will relent and let you lean on him sometimes. Doesn’t like being unable to move around but also too shy to wake you up if you fall asleep on his arm. Cue 20 minutes of him trying to maneuver out without waking you.
Gaius: Also does not like being unable to move. Smells very sweet. Is that a turkey leg in his pocket or is he just happy to see you? (it’s turkey). Very cuddly as long as he’s not actually being restrained.
Noire: Depends on her mode. Very shy normally, berserk mode will squeeze you like a stress toy though.
Maribelle: She Means Business. Clear your schedule. She hugs+cuddles with 100% of her being when she goes at it. Can be overwhelming but affectionate.
Brady: Hug gently!!! Is fragile!!! V affectionate, almost definitely will cry on you a little, pointy chin and elbows and holy Naga are his hands cold. Also a very intent hugger.
Owain: Loud and ostentatious most of the time, hugs powerfully but not too tight. Gets very flustered in private! Has a hard time articulating what he wants.
Morgan: Will hug forever if you let ‘em!! Extremely cuddly and affectionate, will hang off of you in public and private. Will squish cheeks against yours.
GrimYou: Hug them just to confused the everloving heck out of ‘em.
