Here's a hard one, Mystery!
SEND ME A CHARACTER
Sexuality Headcanon: I think Mystery might be Aroace or just-- not really interested in that kind of thing anymore. When he has been with others it’s been him kind of a mutual partners with benefits. He hasn’t really been with someone out of love.
Gender Headcanon: A bit genderfluid. He’s a kitsune, and they can change shape in lore iirc, so some days he feels a bit more like something else. But he does have a preference for he/him orientations, and settled on that when taking on his doggo form. He kinda misses being able to shift to what feels most comfy on a given day, but if it keeps a certain someone from finding him, he’s okay with that too.
A ship I have with said character: I don’t know if it really counts as a ship I have, because I don’t honestly really think of shipping Mystery at all, but I do think something happened between Shiromori and Mystery potentially in that vein. The way he looks so guilty and shrugs when she recognizes Vivi’s heritage and looks at him in an almost ‘nani the fuck’ way, and the way she gets enraged and blushes just kinda says to me there was something up between them and him being with Vivi is a betrayal to her. I don’t really know if it was romantic, and it could have just been a partnership since it seems like he kinda fed her and made her what she is, but with that expression, it leads me to think Shiromori thought she should be Mystery’s one and only partner in whatever regard and is definitely pissed he’s hanging around with Mushi’s descendant of all people.
A BROTP I have with said character: Mystery with any of the other gang members! I love him having a good relationship (and talking/showing sentience!) to the others and them having a banter and back and forth. He likes being treated like a dog sometimes and likes being treated like an equal. He can swap between wise kitsune and ‘gib.... bacon? 0x0’ easily, and they treat him like a friend and i love it. I also enjoy him having a bit of a rapport with Lance. They’re both watching these kids dance around each other with feelings and shaking their head. And they totally watch spanish soap operas together as a guilty pleasure sometimes
A NOTP I have with said character: Pretty much any of the main kids, but I really don’t ship Mystery with anyone. I like him just reveling in this found family he has now and enjoying these connections he went centuries without making.
A random headcanon: You’ve heard this one (and written a little thing for it too), but Mystery heavily relates to Stitch in Lilo and Stitch. He felt like the little monster that just wanted to hurt people and Vivi kind of helped him have some kind of connection and realize he wanted to be better. Vivi connects to Lilo and being seen as weird, and Lewis connects to feeling lost and finding a family in a similar way he does, so when they have a rough day or need it, they watch that movie as a bit of comfort.
General Opinion over said character: A formerly not so good but now good boy just doing his best! Sometimes he attac when he should protecc but!! he’s trying!! He just sometimes bite when doesn’t know what to do!! oops!!
