Don’t be too obvious about your ambitions now, Micah!

Lol, this is just one in many ways that Micah being Souri’s secret lover adds conflict and tension to the original story. I like to imagine him fending off Souri’s other suitors so he doesn’t have to share her.

It all seems so futile though, because even as he fends them off, he can’t secure a marriage to her himself. He has but a few options:

A: perform some great deed or heroic act, so that he’ll be rewarded with titles and rank, and thus become an eligible bachelor for Souri,

B: incite a rebellion, to varying degrees of severity, all for the sake of defying the law and making it so you can marry Souri anyways,

or

C: elope.

Option A isn’t all that feasible, considering he’s her bodyguard, and so his place is by her side. Option B comes with the very likely scenario of having to fight the king, and Souri could end up hating him forever for that. Option C also isn’t ideal, let alone how difficult it would be to pull off.

Poor Micah, one wonders if he and Souri shall ever have a happy ending together...

Nothing like a little forbidden romance to spice things up. ;D

So here’s a fun little headcanon o’mine! In that I headcanon Micah and Souri to be secretly dating.

In the original comic, it’s made obvious that Micah likes Souri, and it’s sort of implied that she likes him too.

So I figure, why not just go ahead and have them date? Souri’s a confident and kind of selfish girl, who’s exactly the type to go for whatever she wants. And Micah has never been very resistant to her charms. They’re both intelligent people who spend a lot of time together, why shouldn’t they get together rather than dance around the issue?

Ah, but it’s a complicated love they share! For of course as a princess, Souri is expected to marry well, either a high noble or another royal. And Micah is just a lowly commoner, with no titles or societal rank to speak of. A relationship between them is obviously forbidden. Micah would be exiled(or worse) faster than he could blink if anybody found out.

In a way, I suppose they are still keeping their mutual feelings a secret, just in a completely different way. ;) That’s my headcanon anyways!

Characters and setting belong to @sexuallyfrustratedshark Once again, a headcanon of mine flies directly in the face of established canon. XD

In the comic, we see Souri easily shout-down Micah's father Novah in order to get her way. But... I don't really like that, or find it particularly believable. Realistically speaking, princesses don't actually hold that much power or sway. Especially not young ones. So instead, I imagine Souri as being hungry to prove herself, to gain respect and power. Via this imagined event in her childhood, I see it as shaping her motivations as an adult. She wants what she says and does to matter, though she's still a bit spoiled, so she's not willing to wait patiently until she comes of age. I also see it as explaining why she starts learning fencing in secret. It's mentioned that she got her cousin Jei Dun to secretly teach her fencing, which is interesting for multiple reasons! It goes a lot to support my headcanon, by indicating that she couldn't openly study fencing, because it might be forbidden to her or some other such reason. And yet she wanted to learn it anyways, and roped her cousin into teaching her. Fencing and knowing how to duel is a very respectable skill, and think that's exactly why she decided to pursue it: by having a respectable skill, she can become a more respectable person, making her one step closer to proving herself. Her desire to prove herself I think also goes on to explain why she charges forth into dangerous situations, and why she isn't careful about protecting her identity when she's supposed to be incognito. She's a nice, sheltered girl, but she wants to be more than she already is. Anyway, that's my headcanon for Souri as a character and what drives her. :)

Headcanon: In hobbit culture, asking a single hobbit of the opposite sex to Go For A Walk is concomitant to asking them out on a date.

thebaaay said: Anyone put in Cara Mason yet? She'll always be a fave. And bae.

There was once a time when Mord’Sith were allowed to cook... and then Cara came along. Tales are still told about the Mord’Sith gave food poisoning to an entire legion of D’Haran soldiers. Richard, Kahlan and Zedd didn’t believe her when she first joined up with Team Epic Hair - they thought she was just trying to skive off and not pull her own weight for the team. That is... until Richard ordered her to do so as Lord Rahl and they weren’t able to travel anywhere for a day and a half due to extreme bowel movements. Cara, of course, was unaffected - she knows her limitations and stuck to eating berries for dinner. 

She and Dahlia were once transferred to a Temple where a fellow Mord’Sith was adamant about training chipmunks as viciously loyal pets. Cara was very adamant that this was impossible and that it would be a waste of time... that is until she was attacked by a chipmunk. She still has a scar on her ankle from the little beast and has been fond of the creatures ever since. “Because anything can be trained, Raina proved that.”

After the Stone of Tears was used to seal the rifts they travelled to Aydindril - Kahlan needed to return to the seat of the Mother Confessor. Everything was fine and dandy for a while, Cara had even convinced Richard to summon at two quads of Mord’Sith who could be trusted (aka - Mord’Sith who were either terrified of her enough to keep in line, who respected the title of Lord Rahl or were petrified of death by Confession). Zedd even took up training Richard to use his magic... and then it all went down hill. The Mord’Sith showed up with a few (and by a few a Legion is clearly meant) soldiers Dragon Corps. They all declared their loyalty of course but the very next day there was a bit of magic that went haywire and suddenly there was an army of labrador puppies running through the city. Kahlan woke up to three jumping around her bed excitedly. Zedd had his food stolen by nine of them. Richard’s shoes were peed in. It was complete and utter chaos, topped, of course, by Darken Rahl showing up and kidnapping a few puppies in true Cruella De Vil fashion.

Cara has had a weakness dogs ever since the above mentioned incident. Richard may be well on his way for being Lord Rahl - Rescuer of all things fluffy and cute but when it comes to dogs she will inadvertently be the one to play the heroine. She’s told them over and over again that it’s simply because there are only certain number animals in this world worthy of domestication by a Mord’Sith and dogs are one of them. Especially since they are able to be trained to hunt and kill. It still doesn’t stop Richard and Kahlan from laughing until their sides hurt every-time they sneak into Cara’s room and see a few dozen dogs flopped out around the room and at the foot of the bed. 

At first Cara and Dahlia were friends, friends who’d grown up together and been trained together but that changed the day a D’Haran soldier tried to get too handsy with Cara in the kitchens of the People’s Palace. She was 14 and couldn’t reach her Agiel and he was far too tall and far too strong for her to break his hold. Dahlia came out of nowhere with a cast iron pan to the soldiers helmet; she fell for her when she realized Dahlia didn’t even think about using her, only her safety. Cara is fairly certain that that pan is still somewhere in her old rooms at the Palace. 

Richard once asked her why she hadn’t gone and found someone to marry and have a family with. Cara hit him hard enough to bruise a rib and informed him that she already has a few thousand children and has no need for anymore. A spouse would only complicate the matter more. Teaching them to understand the language of the Wisps would be a trial of patience she would never be ready for. Then of of course they would have to be approved by Berdine and Raina... though the new barmaid at the tavern three streets down did show a bit of promise. And she was able to wield a cast iron pot with great efficiency which was somehow quite appealing. BUT that was neither here nor there - she had enough children to deal with. All of whom would be hitting Wisp puberty at the same time and according to the books in the Wizard’s Keep it would be a particularly... dramatic time. 

Cara is horrible at gambling games. She has a brilliant poker face but she just sucks at the act of gambling with cards or dice. Give her a fight to bet on, however, and she can usually call the winner quite easily. Whenever she participated in the Mord’Sith Poker Nights at the Temple she’d always be the first naked. 

She hates mutton - she despises the texture and the taste is horrid. Whenever they stop at taverns and Zedd orders it for everyone he always ends up getting a second helping. She would rather go hungry than subject herself to eating it for a night.

Every so often when Richard is being slow or being pig-headed she’ll take a rock and chuck it at him. It always hits its marks and always impresses Kahlan or Zedd. Richard just rubs the new lump and glares good naturally at her with one of those secret smiles. Rock throwing is their thing.

Cara has stopped 38 assassination attempts on Richard’s life since he’s been chilling in Aydindril with Kahlan. He doesn’t know about them, of course, it’s her job to protect him. She’s simply stunned by the ridiculousness of the assassins - one was hiding in the latrine Richard regularly used. She, Raina and Berdine still aren’t quite sure how they managed to fold themselves in there.  

Send me a character or a pairing and I’ll share 10 headcanons I have about them
