Do you have any lp athy headcanons?
Hmmm not really? LP is genuinely such a depressing setting where every single character is at their worst (except LP! Lucas, he is hilarious, but also kind of an asshole), so I can't think of many fun headcanons regarding that. In the manhwa, LP is a lot more mysterious and nebulous, but in the novel we get a full, undisguised look at how that world was like... and it's just awful? And it's meant to be that way, the way in which those scenes are written is very purposefully trying to elicit discomfort in the reader.
About LP! Athy, she is really just our Athy but in a world where either people are actively trying to hurt her, or turn a blind eye to it in favor of their own interests. So she is gloomy and devoid of any agency she could have. And then she is killed. And that's it.
But to not give you such a boring answer, here are a couple of thoughts about LP! Athy (mostly canon compliant because yeah, I don't like to stray from canon too much):
This is stated in the text already, but LP! Athy is exactly as capable, beautiful and smart as wmmap! Athy. She is not a natural born genius, but a person that worked tirelessly to better herself and be deserving of her position.
Perhaps she is more of a bookworm than wmmap! Athy.
When she was around 7 years old, Athy got terribly ill. Lily tried to heal her to the best of her ability, but in the Ruby Palace, with no budget or staff willing to help, and the emperor not taking any interest in the matter... It was hopeless. Until one morning, the illness went away. The burning inside her chest and the unbearable pressure on her heart, strangely gone. They never found the reason why.
LP! Athy does not have a sweet tooth, as she could never afford those kinds of luxuries in the first place.
Related to that, food usually doesn't taste much like anything to her.
Before Athy's execution, it was Lily who died first.
