Question, could you describe Vega's personality? I might write her. Do you have any plausible headcanons to fill in the blanks?
OO I’ll do my best!! Vega is a bit of a hard one for people bc she unfortunately got so little, but as you can probably guess, I’ve been trying to piece it all together for a while now. <:3c
So for one thing, I think she is pretty outgoing!! A real city gal. She immediately tried to befriend Jenny (though you could also argue that is for cough other reasons but let’s put that aside for now), and seems like a a generally fun loving bot! She also might have lived a bit of a restricted life, being the princess of Cluster Prime and all?? The only thing to really go off of this is the phone call with her and Vexus, but it is Possible. She seems like the type who likes to try new things, so I imagine going to Earth would be an experience for her!
Gosh, I also headcanon her as a total romantic at robo heart!! This is based off the one scene where she and Jenny are at the movies and just. I know both she and Jenny were into the movie, but Vega’s face just SCREAMED huge sucker for cute and good romance!!
She’s a leader type for sure with a strong sense of justice, and she immediately takes charge when she finds out that Vexus has been hiding the chips, and seems pretty ready to take on the task of ruling Cluster Prime.
Though, she was genuinely very hurt by the situation and I think kind of masked her emotions about it because of that?? That’s a whole situation I think about a LOT, like… I’m pretty sure she and Vexus didn’t have a bad relationship (here’s an older post I made kind of covering what we know), because Vega said herself, she never thought Vexus was evil! And I mean, look at her face when she has to confront the fact for like 0.5 seconds (god this was something that HAD to be explored further, I swear).
I almost cried when I fast forwarded to this part tbh. And on top of that, she insisted that there had to be someone making Vexus do this like?? Vega cares about her mom, but like I said, strong sense of justice so… This was probably horribly conflicting. I’m going to be honest, the way Vega kind of brushes that section of Cluster Prime at the end really bothers me bc it seems so out of character with her previous conflicted feelings?? But, I feel like they weren’t planning to use Vega for much so a character arc wasn’t really in mind for her unfortunately. ): Like… she obviously does care!! A lot!!
With all this put together, at her core, I think Vega is incredibly caring, which drives a lot of her actions when I think about it?? Others well being is her main priority, even if she has to push her feelings aside for it. That is how she comes off to me, especially towards the end which is when we really get to see her in action!
Also her admiration of the “mysterious stranger” is really cute… I think it is worth mentioning!
That’s all I can think of atm that covers canon evidence, but I think it is a substantial amount! I spend a lot of time on this subject haha, it was fun getting to write out my thoughts. ;v ;
I hope this is able to help you anon, and if you have any other Vega questions, I’m happy to answer!!
