PJ Masks Teen AU & Headcanon Project
Hello everyone!
I’ve decided to start sharing my PJ Masks Teen AU and personal headcanons for the characters!
In this AU, the PJ Masks characters are older teenagers while still keeping many aspects of their canon personalities, powers, and relationships. I’ve been expanding their backgrounds, interests, families, friendships, fears, goals, and more to explore what they might be like as they grow up.
Over the next several posts, I’ll be sharing detailed character profiles for members of the PJ Masks cast, including both heroes and villains. Each post will focus on one character at a time so everything is easier to read and enjoy.
The profiles will include things such as:
⭐ Basic Information
👨👩👧👦 Family & Background
🎭 Personality
❤️ Likes & Dislikes
🎒 School Life
🦸 Powers & Abilities
🤝 Relationships
✨ Habits & Trivia
🎯 Goals & Fears
💬 Catchphrases
👕 Appearance
and plenty of AU-exclusive headcanons!
