Trans lesbian Drew, because I love her

[hyllaarellano]

drew tanaka headcanons

drew’s dad is a supermodel, which is how he met aphrodite. she went to a fashion week and met him there. his name is makoto and he stopped modelling a few years ago, though, and he’s now a fashion designer in his own right. he has a younger sister, named emiri.

drew’s incredibly close with him and with her aunt, who babysat her a lot as a kid, while makoto was off modelling. emiri is almost like an older sister to drew. 

drew wants her future career to be as a pianist. makoto, seeing her talent when she was eight years old, made sure she got the best teachers available. her idol is hiromi uehara and she aspires to be like her, though jazz isn’t her forte (she has a great love for love for classical, but showtunes are her absolute favorite). 

her two favorite colors are bubblegum pink and mint green and she always has both at least somewhere in her outfits. her favorite accessories are her bubblegum pink heart earrings and her mint green ankle boots. 

she’s a trans girl and she’s tall. part of the reason why her dad was so popular is that he was unusually tall (the other part was that he’s hot af) and she takes after him, reaching almost six-feet. she hated it for awhile but eventually learned to appreciate it. she loves heels (always at least three inches). 

she came out to her dad when she was fifteen and, while he didn’t fully understand, he wanted her to be happy so he took her to a therapist, where she got permission to start hrt. 

she’s super proud of her hair, it falls all the way to her waist in silky waves. she takes time to curl it every morning. 

it took her a really long time to accept it, but she’s an aromantic lesbian. she ends up in a qpr. she presents as high femme and is happy to take as long as she needs to feel like a ten (though she’s always an eleven). 

she’s autistic! her special interests are makeup, the piano, and feminism. part of her routine is that she always wakes up at six am, takes a thirty minute warm shower, allows her hair to air dry while she does skin care and her makeup (with extra focus on perfectly winged eyeliner with vibrant colors. she loves how pink offsets her dark brown eyes. she’s also learned the perfect way to do winged eyeliner with hooded eyes), gets dressed, then curls her hair. 

she has gorgeous light olive skin that she pays special attention to. she loves tanning (as safely as possible, with sunscreen to protect from, y’know, cancer) and her skin is usually this lovely, smooth olive skin tone, around the middle of the spectrum. 

she always has her nails painted. she tends to keep it in shades of pink, but is known to sometimes do green (also purple). their perfectly shaped ovals and incredibly healthy 

she hates her dyslexia especially, because her dad and auntie want her to be able to read kana and kanji, but it’s so complicated and she struggles enough in school with english. 

she hates the feel of earbuds and only ever wears headphones. she has several pairs. 

she has four ear piercings in her left ear and five in her right ear (she has an industrial) but refuses to wear dangly earrings. 

drew adores having her hair up in a ponytail and the way it brushes against the back of her neck. whipping it around is very stimmy. 

she has a collection of cute tangles. she especially adores the way the fuzzy ones feel in her hands. 

she loves oral stimming, but mostly only does it with gum (which she always has several packs of on her person). 

she loves the waxy, heavy feeling of lipstick. she loves it. she also loves playing around with colors! while she tends to stick to nudes and light pinks, she has plenty of darker reds and also some wilder colors (one time she wears blue lipstick and an apollo camper almost swoons she looks so good). 

alright imma stop here before it gets too long but if anyone wants anymore (or some of another character) just ask!

a second part of this post, focusing on drew’s gayscapades 

drew realized she was a lesbian when she was sixteen, but was resistant to the idea, insisting she was actually straight and that no girl could be romantically or sexually attractive to her ever. 

it didnt help that she had never had a crush before, on a girl or a guy. she found this especially problematic, as she had previously had sexual thoughts about girls and because she liked the way they looked better. liked the shape of their bodies and the fullness of their lips. for awhile, she convinced herself that it was all envy, that it was just because she wanted to look like that, but eventually she had to admit the truth. she found girls attractive and she didn’t find guys attractive - at all, really. 

she has these shirts 

about a year later, she found the label ‘aromantic’ and she quickly grew attached to it. she knew she would never “fall in love” the way she was expected to as a daughter of aphrodite and she also realized that was okay. 

she and nyssa ended up in a qpr for about a year and a half but broke up because they decided they were going in different directions in life. nyssa was going to be staying at chb and helping them build new athens and drew wanted to get away from the demigod life in general, especially since she had a place at julliard. 

while at julliard, drew didn’t really do relationships. she didn’t want to endanger a mortal, plus she hated coming out to people, so she just avoided them and focused on becoming the best in her field. 

while there, she did become close with somebody though. at first she thought they were a mortal, but they ended up being a child of terpsichore, the muse of dance. their name was erin and they were a dance major (which made sense when you factored in their mother). 

drew and erin hooked up exactly one time before deciding it wasn’t for them and becoming best friends. 

it took drew about a year after graduation to go back to chb, where she met reyna for the first time and immediately was like,,,holy shit. 

because lbr this woman was ridiculously gorgeous and smart and elegant and just holy shit!! if drew fell in love she’d definitely fall in love with reyna. she kind of wanted them to be best friends who sometimes hook up. 

long story short: they become best friends who sometimes hook up and also live together. 

so, again, i’m gonna stop here before it gets to be too much. hmu if you want anymore drew headcanons or if you want headcanons for any character/ship in the riordanverse (except straight ships sorry)!

Daughter of the Sea - Part I: Age 12

Warnings: Dysphoria, Panic Attack, Trans Female Characters, Trans!Percy, Trans!Drew, Platonic Female/Female Friendship

for @lgbtqpjo's 3k week (trans thursday).

When Silena found her, Percy was curled up in a ball outside of her cabin, her arms wrapped around her body and her face hidden by her knees. Silena’s eyes widened and she immediately fell to her knees in front of the quivering girl. “Sweetheart, what’s wrong?” she asked, using her most soothing voice.

Percy peeked up, her green eyes shining with unshed tears. “I,” she paused and took a deep breath, “my voice broke.”

Silena frowned. “Why is that a bad thing, Percy?”

Percy released a keening wail and buried her face back in between her knees. “I’m going through puberty, Silena! It’s finally started, just like I knew it would, and I’m gonna be a boy with a deep voice and no one’s ever gonna believe that I’m actually a girl because my voice is gonna be so deep and - ”

Silena’s eyes widened as she realized what Percy was saying. In an instant, she was on her knees next to her with her arms wrapped around the smaller half-blood. “Hey, hey, Percy. When you come out to them no one’s gonna think you’re a boy okay? At least not at camp. Puberty doesn’t matter, none of that matters. Come with me to the Aphrodite cabin okay?” For a moment, Silena thought Percy might refuse her but then she nodded.

“Okay,” Percy said, sniffling.

Silena stood up and helped Percy up. “Come on sweetheart,” she said, her voice low. It didn’t take them long to get to the Aphrodite cabin and once they were there, Silena led Percy to her bed. “Go ahead and sit down, I’ll be right back,” she said.

Percy nodded.

Silena walked away from the bed, barely noticing the way her siblings had zeroed in on her and Percy. She needed to find Drew, Drew would be the most help here. Speaking of Drew, she was lying on her bed, her nose buried in a book (as usual).

“Habibti,” Silena said. “I need you.”

Drew looked up from her book and arched an eyebrow. “What do you need from me?” she asked.

Silena sighed; she didn’t want to out Percy without her permission. “Just...come with me? You’ll find out when we get to my bed.”

Drew rolled her eyes and put a bookmark in her book, closing it and revealing the cover. Silena giggled when she realized what her sister was reading. “Really, Drew? Astrophysics? Are you sure you weren’t meant to be a daughter of Athena?”

Drew pouted up at her. “Hey, just ‘cause I’m gorgeous doesn't mean I can’t be smart too. And, anyways, I’m curious! What about science is right? What’s just mortals creating their own kind of fiction because they no longer believe in the gods? It’s fascinating!”

“Drew, you’re eleven,” Silena pointed out.

“So?” Drew shrugged and Silena didn’t bother to respond, absent-mindedly fidgeting with her hijab.

“It doesn’t matter, you be the biggest nerd you can be. Just, come on. This is important.”

Drew obediently followed her to her bed, where Percy was curled up, Drew’s eyes widened before narrowing. “Jackson?” she asked. “What’s wrong with you?”

Percy’s head shot up and she met Silena’s eyes, her own wide and teary. “What?” she began before Silena interrupted her.

“Can I tell Drew your secret, habibti?”

Drew’s eyes widened once more at the term of endearment, though Percy just looked confused. It seemed to take her a moment to realize what Silena meant and when she did, it took her another moment to respond. In the end, she shrugged and tucked her head back into her knees.

Silena pursed her lips and turned back to Drew. “Percy’s trans,” she said. “She’s a girl and she’s feeling very dysphoric right now because her voice just cracked.”

Drew’s mouth dropped open and for a single endless second, she was silent. Then she took a deep breath and turned to Percy. It didn’t matter that she was a year younger than Percy, it didn’t matter that she had only known words like dysphoric and trans for about six months, she knew what she had to do. “Hey, Percy?” she said, her voice not betraying her hesitance. “Want a makeover? Those always make me feel better when I’m feeling dysphoric.”

Percy’s head shot up and she looked at Drew with wide, red-rimmed eyes. “Wait, you’re - ?”

Drew nodded. “Yeah. I’m a trans girl. That’s why Lena got me, she knew I’d be able to help you more than most people. ‘Cause I get it.”

Percy swallowed hard. “I just don’t know what to do,” she said.

Drew’s responding laugh was humorless as she reached forward and grasped Percy’s trembling hand.

“Yeah. None of us do.”
