Family Headcanons: The Amanos

Ay, she's back! And she brings more insane ramblings about people that live in her head! :)

These are Madoka's parents, Daisuke and Lisa!

Daisuke is a very innovative and creative man. He loves experimenting with his Beyblade inventions and finding new ways to make them fun and exciting to battle with. His childish idealism does tend to go overboard, forcing himself to complete almost impossible projects. When he focuses on something, he won't lose that focus until the job is done- which isn't great when that job isn't technically possible.

As we know from the show, he is the owner of the B-Pit, the go-to shop for any blader in need. He was able to turn this shop into a chain, opening a few extra shops around Japan. Though a lot of his work is driven by his desire to make kids happy, the amount of work he puts himself through gives him less time to spend with his own kid. Granted, he is extra careful not to miss important events like birthdays, Christmas, or tournaments that Madoka helps out with, but missing the little things and casual time still takes it toll on their relationship. The time they do spend together is usually spent bouncing new ideas off of each other and repairing beys together.

Lisa was a relaxed, optimistic, go-with-the-flow kind of woman. Originally from France, she met Daisuke while travelling through Japan. He saw her competing in a Beyblade tournament (I think her bey would be some kind of Gasher, since that was the one that Madoka had) and was instantly smitten, so he approached her after the fact and offered to repair her bey for her. Lisa admired his determination and creativity, while Daisuke loved her optimistic yet level-headed approach to life. She often grounded him when his head got too high up into the clouds, while he inspired her to dream bigger and reach for greater heights in life.

At first, when they had their daughter, they were a very tight-knit family. They loved watching Beyblade matches, cooking, and hanging out in Daisuke's study together.

It wasn't until Madoka was seven, when Lisa tragically died of illness, did things change for the worse. Though Daisuke loves his daughter, he was unsure of how to raise her on his own. He didn't really understand much of the "girly" aspects of Madoka's personality and didn't know how to relate to her (other than through Beyblade) because of that. Without his wife to ground him, he regained unrealistic expectations for his work, which only pushed him further away from his daughter.

Madoka greatly idealised her mother in pretty much every sense. She loved her persistence to thrive in a male-dominated field, her chilled-out attitude, her fashion sense, everything. Losing her was one of the hardest things she'd ever had to deal with, especially since she was the only real female friend Madoka had ever had. Being a part of the Beyblade community for most of her life made making friends with other girls near impossible, since female bladers were few and far between- especially any near Madoka's age. Though Madoka does love her dad, she really wishes she looked a lot more like her mum, just to keep her memory of her alive.

Madoka takes inspiration from both of her parents when repairing and experimenting with beys. She uses her dad's creativity and focus, and her mum's grounded yet optimistic outlook.

That's all I've got for now! Feel free to ask questions about them :D
