#even good 21 but she's a SMIDGE more malleable with that sort of thing

[Well, rng actually picked an easy-ish one for me. Or at least one I’ve put some amount of thought into so eeeey.

Android 21 has little to no concept of romantic love. Being a creation of a scientist who would certainly not bother slipping that into her programming, it is a concept that holds little weight to her nor is it worth seeking. In most cases.

As I’ve discussed before, we do seem some inexplicable moments in her canon that show her caring about 16 (and I think even sort of alluding to the idea of love/finding love? it’s been a hot minute since I’ve watched the cutscenes but I remember SOMETHING that was like ??? to me because what we know of her creation firmly opposes her having such thoughts). This has lead me to come up with the HC that the woman who she is modeled after was an RR researcher whose cells were used within her creation and thus causes some leakage into 21′s over understanding/personality (her scientific know-how, her low key recognizing 16 and developing a motherly demeanor toward him in her good form). However, these traits outside of her knowledge only surface when good!21 is in control. It is not a possibility she dwells on, but her good side does occasionally fantasize about the idea of falling in love or contemplating what love is/feels like/if she has the capability to love romantically at all.

Evil!21? Never. I won’t say zero interest but it’s a very very very low percentage of interest in the matter.]
