rayaari headcanons because i’m still thinking about them 💜

Namaari is one inch taller than Raya and she constantly lords it over her and calls Raya short

Because of the lack of abundance in Fang, Namaari cannot cook at all and relies on Raya for food

Raya tried teaching her to cook, but Namaari just wound up spilling boiling water and burning herself

Namaari attempts to adopt every child that she sees. Raya doesn't know what to do with them and tries to discuss politics

Namaari will sometimes just pick up Raya and bridal carry her around

Raya's gotten used to it at this point and she'll just like, read or eat

Raya is a lot more flirty than Namaari. She tends to say things just to fluster Namaari

It works. And Namaari hates it

Namaari is a lot more blunt with her emotions

She used to be repressed™️ and tried to hide her feelings for Raya, but she's done with that now

They still call each other dep'la, but now they mean it

They also still call each other binturi. Mostly ironically whenever one of them compliments the other and they don't know how to handle it. It's a running joke

you can send me requests here!

Namaari is either the type of person who drinks their coffee black because she’s too tough™ for additives, or she drinks coffee that’s filled with syrup because she has just the wildest sweet-tooth even if she doesn’t want anyone to know. 

But Raya is the type of person who will just shovel down coffee grounds with a spoon or just tip back the bag into her mouth if she’s feeling lazy. She likes the crunch and she’s impatient. 

It makes Namaari want to cry.

Cannnn you please do like a list/headcanons of little facts about Raya??? pretty pless

Ooo okay okay. I can do that:

Raya is ambidextrous af. Pretty much a survival perk she had to master with her years of being alone and encountering bandits or mercenaries. Many smart bandits would target her right hand/arm specifically so she wouldn’t be able to whip her sword out. So, she decides one day when her arm is fully dysfunctional and poorly wrapped in a makeshift bandage and sling,  to practice her left hand skills. She forces herself to eat, write and fight with her left hand. How to flip and land as smoothly with her left as her right.  She purposely moves her sheathed sword to the right side of her belt so she can practice unsheathing it using her left hand and using the weird angle to her advantage to use her right hand sometimes as well to stun some of her enemies.

(I saw this headcanon through someone else and I highly agreed so i thought i should expand) Raya at 16 would find underground fighting competitions in the deep slumps of Tail. At first, she would participate to get some jade but she loses her first few matches much to her embarrassment. But then again, the fighters are twice her age and size. A lone traveler takes pity on her and takes her under her wing one night after a great loss that left her bleeding on the the stage. The traveler, a Tail woman, takes care of her wounds and offers to teach her further fighting skills to tweak her style in exchange for nothing. She compliments her agility but reprimands her for using it wrong. Raya reluctantly agrees, unsure at first coz of the woman not asking for anything back but not having much to offer or lose. She trains with her night and day, only offering her water, not food as the traveler catches on her trust issues. She offers her jades instead to buy her own food to keep her health from deteriorating. They don’t talk much, nothing personal, mostly about her training and fighting related topics. They dont dare venture deeper to their personal business. She tests her skills one day during another underground fight, bets going around, a big sum of jade on the winner. She’s determined but the size of her opponent is three times her size and she almost falters. She sees her teacher in the dark corner of the room, observing her strictly. She remembers her teachings on how to not be intimidated by someone physically stronger than her. She has her speed, her flexibility and agility as her weapon.  Basically, she wins the the match and the next few ones until the traveler informs her that its time to end their lessons. Raya is surprise to find herself disheartened, for once having company other than Tuktuk an actual pleasure of being around. She tells her one day she’ll be able to thank her personally but the traveler dismisses her gratitude saying she has only done what she thought must be done. She leaves without a words. Raya only fighting a few more matches to have a crazy enough jade with her to continue her travels into finding Sisu. 

Which leads to a headcanon that Raya actually met more good people along the way. But didn’t let herself get too personal and attached. Enough for her to actually remember. Her trust issues are still present but she’s not dumb enough to acknowledge genuine acts of kindness. 

Raya is hella introverted. Being used to her time alone for all those years has taught her how to sit in her own thoughts and relish the quiet. She has her friends, Boun, Tong, Noi, Sisu and Namaari but there are times where she’d rather be alone. Her energy easily depleted after a social interaction. Taking a while to recharge till she can. Although, Namaari is an exception. The Fang princess allowed to be by her side, the only one who seems to understand Raya’s desire for the quiet.

Which leads to another headcanon. Raya is sensitive to noise, having it trigger her sometimes when it gets too loud or irritable. Or noises she can’t distinguish the sound off, or has no control whatsoever. She has to step away before she goes into sensory overload.  It’s why social gatherings, or Kumandra’s esteemed parties never sits well with her. Her own heart and mind trained to be cautious, the loud noise usually causing her to get disoriented and the feeling of unsafety spreads through her in panic. Namaari is by her side instant dragging her away when this happens. 

She can actually cook, despite her horrible attempts of dried jackfruit jerky for years. Jackfruit being her only source of food that she didn’t have to blatantly steal out of someone else’s hands and hard work. She has learned from her Ba even before they were turned to stone. She was taught how sharing a meal is one of the most important thing in friendships and relationships, strengthening their bond to great heights. Namaari was surprised one day when she was invited to Heart and Raya was the one cooking and serving her the food.

She can sing! Of course she can, but its mostly to herself or when she’s alone. Namaari catches her one day, her cat like stealth making her undetectable. One night Raya can’t sleep in Fang, she steps away to the training grounds, Namaari follows closely but she decides to observe for a while, not wanting to disrupt the alone time the Heart princess might have preferred. She listens to her sing in the middle of the training grounds, not even bothering to practice any moves. She just sits on the sparring platform in the middle and letting the natural echo and reverberations of the room enhance her voice.  Namaari just falls inlove a bit more after that.

rayaari headcanons pt 3(?)

Namaari is definitely softer with Raya than with anyone else so that inspired these ones

- Namaari secretly loves being artsy but doesnt get to do it much. She loves to paint and will also sing

- The first time Raya hears her sing she basically melts into a puddle

- Whenever Raya has a particularly bad nightmare Namaari will cuddle her close and sing for her because it really helps Raya calm down

- Similarly, when Namaari has a bad nightmare Raya will hold her close and tell her stories. She can’t sing very well but she’s a really good storyteller. Sometimes she’ll talk about places she’d like to take Namaari, she’ll tell her fairytales, any funny Sisu stories, or basically just anything to make her smile

There's no real way to discern whether Raya and Namaari are lesbian or bi, since we don't see either of them properly interact with men their own age. However, I feel within my soul that they are both lesbians.
