Hello, wanted to ask for a Headcanon of what you think Leonis and Gilzeas "deal" would be in normal/chiller Alternate Universe. Since in canon they're like apprentice that wants master dead.
Inspired by a fanart I saw, admittedly I do also wonder what the mechanics of the AU would be. To me it wouldn't be that they're all just reg humans now, but rather that the mechanics of what Dragons do are changed.
Anywho in the fanart I saw, Ragna, Crimson and Starlia were like traveling the world maybe looking for meaning or something. And Starlia was waving with a prosthetic arm at Ultimatia/Artemisia who was like in a Marilyn Monroe cosplay with a hat and waved back, think the implication is that she's big celebrity in the AU and the image also showed Woltenkamui, Olto and Nebulim helping her in a photoshoot.
So yeah that's sort of an example of the "normal" au I've seen of RC. If it'd help with the headcanon.
Well, one of Leo's defining character traits are that she seeks to become the strongest, which is partially the reason she became one of Gilzea's diciples.
So assuming that Gilzea is still the strongest and that Leonica still seeks to become the strongest, I think they would still be master and aprantice, but without the "I'm going to kill you once I'm strong enough" part. I also found some parts of their personalities rather similliar, which in this au could fuel a more healthy relationship between them.
I've already seen some wacky fanart of them from the OG story, like them going to McDonald's, and Gil bought happy meal for Leo, also they might had cause the building to catch on fire. Another was a pretty recent one where both Leonica and Sykes were dogs, and Gilzea was holding Leo, like she was showing her off to someone.
Also for some reason, I have this headcanon that Gilzea would in a way become a mother figure to Leo in the OG story, like "I found this puppy on the street, and now I had adopted them". This could also happen in this au as well.
With all the info we have of the two of them, this is what I can come up with.
