#Alcina is very maternal in nature and that didn't lessen by the time her daughters were all adults

Do you have some gaga grandma Alcina headcanons ?

I do!! Let me preface this by saying that Alcina loves her grandbabies to death. Now unto more details:

Alcina has a special bond with all of her granddaughters. She holds them soon after they are born and that moment is always very magical.

She steels herself and acts all tough while Cassandra is giving birth, but the moment she holds the newlyborn baby she can’t help crying at the tiny bundle in her arms. Like she cries cries, not just a tear or two.

After giving birth, Cassandra stays at the castle for a few weeks because Alcina insists that she rests properly and gets a lot of help with the newborn. However, Alcina uses this time to spend time with the new baby. Those first few weeks are just Alcina spending unlimited time with her granddaughter(s).

When the girls got older, they normally spend weekends with her. Cass and Wife would bring them over on Friday after school and they’d stay with Alcina until Sunday because this is their alone time with Grandma.

Alcina loves spending time with her granddaughters. Especially Aurelia since she’s the first granddaughter and Alcina did bond with her because Cass was very clueless so it was mostly Alcina bonding with Aurelia while Cassandra watched from the sidelines.

Even when the girls got older, when Cassandra is dropping by to see her mom Alcina asks ‘where are the girls?’ Because she always wants to have her granddaughters around. So what do you mean Cassandra is there by herself?

Alcina loves spending time with them. She takes them out for brunch, to get their nails done, and later on they accompany her to fashion shows and the like.

She would travel with the kiddos but she knows they might want their mothers so she doesn’t do that while the girls are young.

It’s always Aurelia and Adelina because they are so close in age and also because Adelina wouldn’t accept it and she’d go either way.

Alcina wasn’t going to do the same with the third daughter. After Adelina, she was tired and didn’t think she could keep up with another little one.

Meeting Alcina (junior) changed that because she instantly fell in love with her youngest granddaughter (also because she has her name).

While Aurelia and Adelina were in school, Alcina had plenty of time to spend with baby Alcina while Cassandra recovered at the castle.

Not one to usually get back on her word, but Alcina couldn’t stop falling in love with her youngest granddaughter.

Alcina reminded her of Daniela. Being the youngest, she competed with her older siblings and tried to prove she was just as capable. The result is a very charming personality and a very smart child that everyone fell in love with.

Alcina is always accompanying her sisters when they visit their grandma and she always insists on being the one who sleeps right next to grandma (Aurelia’s spot) the two of them would fight because Alcina is hella stubborn and Aurelia is not going to give up her spot so Alcina (senior) compromised by taking the middle and having Aurelia and Alcina sleeping on each side.

Cassandra is aware of her youngest’s position and how she sometimes just needs her Grandma's undivided attention and alone time. That's why she habitually drops Alcina off at the castle for some special one-on-one time between Alcina and Alcina while the older two are busy with their after-school activities.

Overall, Alcina adores the heck out of her granddaughters. While she was quite the pushover mother to her daughters, she only got worse with the newest addition to her family.

Alcina no longer says she’s a mom of three girls, it’s six now and her granddaughters mean the world to her.

Alcina is invited to all events and graduations because she loves her babies and both Cassandra and the kiddos always want her there during those moments. And as Alcina never failed to show up for anything regarding her daughters, she’s keeping it up with her granddaughters. She is there during the good times and the bad.

If Cassandra and wife want to travel alone, it goes without saying that the children are sent to the castle. They each have their own room with all of their things there but they don’t even sleep there because it’s time to sleep in grandma’s room.

Granddaughters call her Mama Alci all the time.
