BSG Epics: Head Canon

[embolalia]

Today's game from bsg-epics: How does your headcanon for your favourite characters vary from story to story? If you multiship your character in some way, how does your headcanon change between ships?

I love the little details about Kara's tattoo and so on. They make so much sense.

The shades of characters is what I love. The subtle differences from one story to another, or one ship to another. So many more story opportunities in that!

Thanks! Kara was always the character I was most drawn to, and I've loved exploring her shades over the years :)

I love your headcanon :-) Kara is so unlikely, on first glance, to be the most spiritual one, yet there she is. I loved the idea of Cain's sister as the first hybrid--I remember that blowing me away.

I always wanted to write more about Kara's religion, but never quite got to it. And thanks, I liked that one too!

"Like that Socrata caused the injury that meant she couldn't play professional pyramid"

Ooh. I love that idea! Gives all kinds of new territory to explore.

I've used some story a few times about how Socrata found birth control in Kara's room and was raging and threw a plate that hit Kara's knee in just the wrong way. Not pretty, but seems to fit them :(

I think I share some of your headcanon, too, at least about Socrata having some part in Kara's inability to play pyramid professionally. I really love the headcanon about Kara's tattoo. That feels just right. I also now realize that I think of Daniel as Kara's father, too. (And wasn't that just a great opportunity missed in the series. Dorks!)

Interesting to have Gina as the first of the sixes to fall in love.

Fun!

I think I made up the tattoo bit at no takebacks for some ficlet years ago :)

And really, *everything* about him being her dad could make sense - WHY ELSE WOULD SHE KNOW THE CYLON SONG?!
