3 for all of the girls and a 5 for Ray

Canon Mun Questions!

3: What is something that was never addressed at all in thecanon material that you have independently developed for your muse? 

Lemme just split this into sections for ease of answering XD

Ruri: Her backstory and how she ended up with the Kurosaki family, as well as her view on being fused with Yuzu post-canon. I don’t at all think the girls are dead after the events of canon, they’re still within Yuzu just as much as the boys are inside Yuya, but all of this is my interpretation. We get some backstory with her, but… How tf did she end up with the Kurosaki family to the point even Shun thought she was born into their family and always his blood sister? What was her life like prior to meeting Yuto past those couple of flashbacks? This blog’s canon has her found by an elderly couple who loved her and realized they couldn’t care for her, and gave her to the Kurosakis with the knowledge they could. She’s a happy kid with her brother. She deserved more story than she got.

Rin: The same as Ruri’s in that I gave her a proper backstory and feelings towards the fusing. Rin was so much of a blank slate it’s not fair? We got such little info on her that as far as this blog is concerned, Rin was found by the orphanage she grew up in, but eventually started questioning why she (and the other kids) was there, just to be told her parents passed in an accident. Wondering about the ‘what if’ (What if she’d been there, could she have helped them, did they like her, if she hadn’t been there…) combined with the Tops looking down their nose at her and the others in commons gives rise to her ‘ice queen’ personality, but also results in her questioning everything by the time post-canon comes around. In actual canon she just gets like… Five minutes. Ten tops. Not enough for this girl.

Ray: She has more of a backstory with Zarc here - Namely that she’s been more involved with him for a while prior to him going bonkers. They’ve had a kind of relationship (even if she won’t call it that) and she knows him way more intimately than canon even remotely hints at. As far as I’m concerned, she also still exists within Yuzu, just differently from how the other girls do.

Serena: How she got her Lunalights, her relationship (or lack thereof) with Yuri, and growing up in Academia. We gets hints here and there of things, but they don’t really tell us anything past those hints? Blog canon has decided Serena was found by the professor and raised alongside Yuri, but kept her distance from him because there was something about him she just couldn’t stand. She recieived her Lunalights from a teacher she liked before they never came back from a mission (having been doubting Academia and got carded for it under the guise of another routine mission), and began to hate the memory probes Leo conducted on her - Part of her reason for wanting out as much as she did to prove herself. She was a solider, but if she proved herself, would the probes stop…?

Yuzu: Her Melodious deck is actually a newer archetype (not new-new, just on the newer side of things) and she picked it because she loves music. Her childhood is getting more fleshed out here, with her growing up happy and having interests and music lessons. There’s also a lot I have in mind for post-canon, with her having to learn how to live with three other voices in her head and how she came back to life- I’m still working on how much I’m looking to expand things here but there’s a lot I’m eager to work out with @pendulumrisen!

5:What is an aspect of your muse’s canon material or canonexistence that you never had the opportunity to explore but really want to?

There’s a lot I haven’t touched on for Ray yet, but I honestly want to explore her feelings towards Zarc’s possible revival and her dad’s plans to revive her. Like I mentioned above, this blog’s canon involves Ray and Zarc having had a relationship (of sorts) prior to the split, and part of her reason for stealing the En cards in my portrayal was because she knows him and wanted to try and stop him herself, on top of wanting to save her dad from a probable death if he’d tried. We know from canon she wasn’t pleased by Leo trying to revive her, but… We don’t get too deep into that? We don’t get too deep into a lot of Ray’s character and gdi I want more??

I’d also love to look more into how Ray was as a duelist. We know she’s strong and gave Zarc a run for his money but what was her deck? Did she do tournaments? Was she popular? Why the pink goggles? There’s so much to Ray I’m super eager to explore and I’m taking everyone down with me. XD

Headcanon game time! E, O, and R @ any of the girls, but Yuya especially wants Yuzu to answer Z

The Fluffiest headcanon game ever!

Ecstatic (name one thing that always gets them excited)

Any track designed for turbo dueling and racing. As much as she tries to hold it in, being near a track and D-Wheels never failed to make Rin break out into a broad smile at the very least, eagerly bounding from place to place to memorize everything. Who’s racing and dueling? What bikes are they riding, the parts, what’s the track like? What colors are their riding suits - Can she take notes and pictures?! The only thing that makes it better is if Yugo’s participating; it’s probably the only time he’ll be able to catch her practically beaming over him where he can see!

Omnomnom (snack headcanons)

As active as Ray tries to keep herself, she can’t help but fall victim to the munchies when she settles down in the evenings, and always turns to her favorite: Popcorn balls. It’s a treat she allows herself twice a week at best and makes on her own, popping a bowl full of it in the afternoons before heading out and setting it aside to make the sticky treat with after she gets back home. Chocolate, caramel, even butterscotch - If it’s sweet and holds the ball together for her to drizzle another topping over, she’s tried it!

Rain (anything to do with rainy days)

One of Ruri’s favorite things to do when it rains is to sit outside in a dry spot and listen and watch. Before Heartland’s fall, she was relatively known for vanishing on rainy days - Though it was never hard to find her, either, as she’d make her way to a large tree not far from the Kurosaki household and settle underneath it with a warm drink, relishing in the peace and quiet. Heartland always seemed so different whenever it rained or snowed, and even if the tree didn’t keep her completely dry, it was her favorite place to be, whether it was in a downpour or a light drizzle.

Zoo (Do they have a favorite animal? Do they have/ want a pet?)

Unfortunately, Yuzu doesn’t have a pet at the moment - If she gets the urge to play with a small, cute, fluffy animal, you can totally find her at the Sakaki household! Yet despite her content-ness in spending time with Yoko and Yuya’s houseful of cats and dogs, she’d give anything for a rabbit. Specifically, a long and floppy-eared, large, brown and white rabbit, an animal she has a name already picked out for and counts as her favorite. The problem? She can’t quite afford the care for one just yet, and her dad won’t let her until she can!
