I’m not sure if you still do this but can I request headcannons for Anastasia and Nemis? Also, I’m just realizing this but Floyd’s mom and Tina remind me of Mary and Audrey from Young Sheldon(I’m not sure if you heard of that show).
I’m always up to give head cannons about oc’s or characters I like! And yeah I’ve seen parts of that show, though…who would be Mary and who would be Audrey??
Anastasia
She has an absurd number of exotic (arguably dangerous) pets. They seemingly manifest from no where! Her main ones she’s seen the most with are her alligator Spike, her goose Gertrude, her lemur Trinket and her snake Betty. But she also has an ostrich named Audrey, a bananna eel named Custard, Capybara named Loaf and several types of tarantulas
Her hair operates under the same logic as Merry Poppins handbag, it’s like an endless pocket dimension. It’s a frequent occurrence for her to pull out desires objects from her mess of hair or store precious stuff away in it for safe keeping
She can detach her own head and hands, it’s a weird magic thing. Mostly she uses the former for kicks and giggles on newbies in town
You know those really random laws that make no sense? Like that one law where it’s illegal to have a donkey in a bathtub?? Anastasia is responsible for at least several of those laws, it’s one of her proudest achievements
Spent a portion of her time in Vegas swindling fat cats of their money, revealing in their shock when they figured out she’d robbed them. Kills it at a casino and has left with her pockets full, to the point the majority of casinos have banned her from entering (though that doesn’t stop Anastasia from going in anyway)
Swears only using a stupid combination of words “Son of a Billy goat”, “I want this silly goose out of house”, “Ah cheese and crackers”, “Paddy whack”
“If in doubt remember, anything can be an artillery weapon if you throw it hard enough!”
Goes on daily trips on the bayou with her boat, often napping, fishing, or playing her harmonica. She’s named each of the alligators that call the bayou home, as well as a handful of kind frogs she claims are brilliant conversationalists
Nemis
Unlike Anastasia she owns a single, grumpy, antisocial cat named Angus which Anastasia gave to her as a kitten as a gift. At first, Nemis was very reluctant to the idea of a pet, but soon grew attached to Angus’s company. They frequently judge people together
Has a fondness for the lesser loved creatures of the animal kindgom, those considered ugly because they’re not cute and fluffy like typical house pets. She allows spiders to make webs in her house and actively tried to avoid brushing them when dusting, even going as far as to move spiders to more tucked away places in her home where they won’t be disturbed
Anastasia taught her how to play the harmonica years ago, something which endlessly embarrasses Nemis. To this day, she can still play the harmonica to a T
Eats lemons and limes as though they’re apples, she likes sour things
Hates popping candy and fizzy drinks, anything she fizzles or pops in your mouth. She finds the sensation very confusing
Though she does magic like Anastasia due to her being a lot more antiscolia and overall…grim looking, she’s been generously dubbed the “wicked witch” of the bayou. While Nemis doesn’t exactly appreciate being labelled, she has to admit scaring rude or annoying tourists by telling them she’ll put a pox upon their bloodline is a rather amusing past time. Of course, she has yet to actually follow through on that threat. Nemis has far better things to be doing her with magic then using it to bend society to her whims, she’d much rather read a book
Though she does sell various potions and other magical do-hickeys, her expertise is helping people deal with bad omens, bad visions. She often helps by giving people crafted tools to help ward off bad luck (or on the odd occasion, giving someone a bad luck charm to gift someone else. The bad luck charms are never anything dangerous, they just cause annoying inconveniences)
Enjoys books with a more realistic setting, more so if it challenges her thinking or opinions on a certain subject.
