#askdjsoai i butchered parentheses with this one gang

this isnt really a headcanon but i feel like adaine only gives off "good girl" vibes because she likes & cares about school, but from every interaction she has with her parents and other authority figures, it makes SO much sense why she and fig get along so well. adaine is a punk rebel bitch at heart and i feel like that's something that's overlooked a lot

something i find fascinating to explore is how similar fig and adaine actually are--especially in their introductions!

of all the bad kids, fig and adaine are the least technically "eager" to start school freshman year. siobhan/adaine says adaine is, but it's clear she's apprehensive, maybe even a little embarrassed, and trying to convince herself this is a good thing rather than a punishment

moving on, both fig and adaine fight with their parents in the morning, and both attempt to use spells/magic to manipulate those around them. both then have the familial figure who is both the least involved in the things fig and adaine hate about their families (ie, gilear didn't do anything, sandralynn is the one who cheated on him, and aelwyn is not responsible for their parents' cruelty which is passed down to their children (oh i have so many abernant family generational trauma headcnons)) extend an olive branch ("it's awful that you got kicked out of hudol"/"i know i said some hurtful things when i first found out") albeit a not very good one ("it doesn't reflect well on our family"/"...get out of my fucking car, you demon"), which is then rejected

adaine is smart and likes to study and doesn't actively pursue trouble for the sake of it--but she also has a smart mouth and a short temper. fig is has an attitude and cigarettes, but she's kind and clever too.

basically, fig is "gives emo bad girl energy, is secretly the nicest person you'll ever meet" and adaine is "gives type-a energy, will not hesitate to dunk a bitch no questions asked"
