Grave headcanons
A/N: Reworking her character a bit, so bear with me. Also while cringe culture is dead, I am gonna be cringe but I am free lol. Some of these are based on an ongoing RP with my boyfriend.
General headcanons:
-How she was 'summoned' to The Ministry is a secret, known only to the four papas, ghouls, and some very close siblings of sin. Not even Sister and Nihil know how Terzo 'summoned' a fae to The Satanic Ministry. It irritates them greatly.
-Terzo took a trip to Ireland, during Secondo's time as Papa, lying about wanting to 'convert more for the cause.' In reality, it was just a week long vacation for him and Omega. During a stroll in a forest, Terzo happened upon a black rabbit, caught in a hunter's trap, her leg, injured.
-Taking pity, Terzo freed her and took her to his hotel room. He and Omega tended to her injuries, gave her plenty of treats, food, and love, not knowing what she truly was. On the second day, she revealed herself, deeming the human and demon to be trustworthy. Terzo was attached nearly instantly. She was still nameless by then, only being called 'fatina' due to her small height, but in Terzo's defense, he wasn't good at coming up with names on the spot.
-She heard him lamenting to Omega one night about how he wanted to be a father. He always felt he'd never get that chance, due to working with The Ministry.
-It was here, the fae decided to grant his wish- though Terzo didn't realize it yet- She asked to leave with them. He naturally leapt at the chance and the rest was history.
-Grave isn't just any run-of-the-mill fae, however. She's a phooka. A shape shifting creature, that can take many forms. Mainly a black mare, but phookas also take the forms of goats and rabbits.
-Orientation with Sister and Nihil didn't go well, however. Especially since Sister told Terzo at one point to stop summoning 'ghouls.' The phooka was already in a form that resembled a ghoulette, done after Terzo explained who he was and what he did for a living. He showed her a picture he took of Cirrus, and the phooka took a form that looked similar.
-Primo gave her the ghoul name of 'Grave', her ghoulette disguise fooling him. After orientation went horribly, ending with both Sister and Nihil calling her 'useless' and 'unneeded,' Primo, interestingly enough, stepped in to comfort the phooka, showing her the garden. While there, she cleared a tiny cemetery of weeds. The cemetery was where Copia buried his rats. It was the first time it looked nice in a while. Satisfied and pleased with her, Primo named her 'Grave' and formally assigned her to gardening duties with himself and Mountain.
-Her true form varies differently from the demonic form she takes to fit in with the ghouls. In her true form, she has fluffy, long black fur, goat horns, rabbit ears, the nose of a goat, whiskers, usually has rabbit peets but will change her feet to hooves or whatever she feels like, and has a lion's tail. In every form she takes, she retains her golden yellow eyes, a common phooka trait. She also has raccoon hands.
-She's an inch smaller than Terzo at 4'8.
-Purrs
-Because she has been in Ireland practically since it came to be, her accent varies too. Most of the time, it's a limerick accent. Though sometimes it comes out as Northern, other times Kerry. It depends. If she's flustered, or angry, the accent thickens.
-She doesn't keep her red hair in her true form. Only in her ghoulette form or human glamour. Terzo eventually gave her the name 'Shailyn' to use while in her human disguise.
-Phookas, of all faes, don't typically get attached to humans but Terzo was an exception. She views him as a father, despite only having a hazy concept of what a father is, thanks to observing countless humans over the years.
-As such, she calls Terzo 'da.' He nearly cried out of joy, the first time that happened lol and Grave came close to getting snuggled to death.
-That being, she also sees Omega as another father, since he's Terzo's lover. She uses 'dad' for him.
-The ghouls accept her pretty quickly. They knew she wasn't a demon immediately. Though Cirrus thinks her ghoulette form is cute. She was an honorary pack member by day three.
-She's younger than the majority of the ghouls. Many of them would place themselves at the human age range from late twenties to mid forties, Grave has only existed since Ireland's creation, vs demonic creatures as old as the universe. She'd be around her early twenties in human years.
-Feels most at home in the garden. Bonds with Primo over planting and caring for flowers.
-Liked Copia the moment she met him. The feeling was mutual, he couldn't get over how fluffy she was. He also appreciated her letting him infodump to her about his rats and rats in general.
-Being a creature of mischief, she adores fucking with the mortals in The Ministry. Especially those that are familiar with The Fair Folk. She's constantly making deals with siblings of sin she tricks but they're not malevolent pranks. Mere inconveniences.
-Whenever Mary Goore visits The Ministry, she loves fucking with them. The vampire isn't afraid of her, per se... They just exercise a healthy caution with her, seeing she's a phooka.
-She is not above fucking with Secondo. He acts so dramatic and over the top with anger, but one can see the faintest glimmer of warmth in his eyes. And she will call him out on it lol.
-The only two she won't fuck with is Sister and Nihil. Terzo made her promise not to. As Sister has made barely disguised threats on Grave's life with iron.
-Terzo snuck her on tour. Shortly after Omega taught her how to play guitar, he felt she was more than good enough to be in the band, since she sang too.
-Hibernates for a week in winter.
-Developed a crush on Phil, two weeks after joining The Ministry. She found him well spoken, attractive, and liked it when he infodumped about random topics to her. Luckily for her, after a couple of months of getting to know each other, the feeling was mutual.
-Will sleep in snuggle piles with the ghouls or go sleep and snuggle with Terzo. She did the same thing when Copia became Papa.

Tickle headcanons:
-Was acutely aware of what tickling was, thanks to decades of observing human behavior. Never tried it before Terzo adopted her.
-Initially tried to lie and say faes aren't ticklish. This got her in huge amounts of trouble with Terzo when he found out and the poor phooka's stomach hurt from how hard he got her laughing.
-Omega likes pulling the same fuckery with her as he does Terzo: Holding her upside down and then going to town on her belly or ribs. Makes her hysterical every time.
-Is most ticklish on her ribs and wings. Her wings are especially bad, because they're attached to her back. So, she's basically getting tickled in two places at once.
-Does not handle being teased well at all. Blushes so much in her human or ghoulette forms when flustered. If she's in her true form and flustered, her fur fluffs up and bushes out. (Also happens when she's spooked lol)
-Quick to hide her face.
-Snort laughs as well as cackles, and she's super embarrassed about her laugh.
-Her belly is another good tickle spot. Especially when she gets pudgier before hibernation. Add the fact that ghouls think pudge is cute- not to mention a sign of good health- and we've got a dead fae.
-Terzo gives her the embarrassing nickname of 'Pookie' when he's tickling her, just to fluster her.
-Bleats like a goat when the right spot is tickled.
-Also thumps her foot like a rabbit when flustered. This had led to many a ghoul or person to teasingly call her 'bunny' too.
-Called Terzo 'da' for the first time on accident, when he was tickling her. This is what led to large amounts of cute aggression from him.
-If there is one ler she fears in The Ministry more than Terzo, it's Secondo and for good reason. The man is merciless.
-She enjoys being on the receiving end, however. She never begs for mercy or pleads for it to stop.
-Has some trust issues thanks to Copia preferring to trap her in tickle hugs when he decides to get her.
-Her tail will often be implemented as a tickle weapon. And her little raccoon claws too!
-Tickling feels more intense in her human or ghoulette form, since she has no fur.
-Her tail wags when she's getting tickled or is tickling another.
A/N: At some point, I may post NSFW headcanons.
EDIT: Almost forgot to show off some drawings, my friend and BF did!
