ย ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ !
Trauma, like bad shit crazy trauma/j, angst, ofc
โณ Catherine of Aragon, Anne Boleyn, Jane Seymour, Anna of Cleves, Kathryn Howard, Catherine Parr
Catherine of Aragon
โ Mentally stable who
โ Abandonment issues
โ Completely believes the other queens will ditch her if she's not perfect enough
โ Also generally fears being alone
โ And any and all pains in her abdomen
โ There's a common rule not to let any stomach virus reach her
โ It got put in place after she got in a complete state of panic, believing she would die again.
โ Can not be left in the house alone without her mind resorting to when she was imprisoned
โ It terrifies her
Anne Boleyn
โ The 'chaos gremlin' thing is a front
โ She got killed for (among other things) being smart and standing her ground
โ Continously afraid of doing or saying the wrong thing
โ Corrected Aragon on something once, terrified to look her in the eyes for weeks
โ Probably smartest person in the house, absolutely terrified of it
โ Has spirals where she'll do anything the queens ask, her inobedience was another reason for her dearh
Jane Seymour
โ Common hc, but terrified of illnesses
โ Even the slightest headache will send her spiraling
โ Similarly to Anne, has spirals where she'll do anything the queens ask
โ But she'll be incredibly quiet and reserved, attempting to stay in their shadow
โ She's extremely motherly, even if she's among the youngest
โ She never got a chance
โ Doesn't share om her opinion much, afraid it start a fight
Anna of Cleves
โ Incredibly insecure
โ She knows many people in history compliment her on her looks, but when a king says it
โ Terrified of people sneaking up on her, even if it's any back hugs
โ There's an unspoken rule to never even slightly startle her
โ Incredible fear of storms too, surprisingly the reason the queens are all togheter during thunderstorms
โ almost opposite to what the show well, shows. She's rather humble and timid. Never having any force to anything she says or does
Kathryn Howard
โ The obvious
โ terrified of men, to the point of having to physically stick to one of the other queens
โ catches herself sexualizing herself
โ Or sugarcoating her expierences, trying to make them seem fun and pleasureful instead of gruesome rape
โ Is the youngest, does not enjoy it
โ Always feels like she has to prove she's a well capable adult, she's 19 for god's sake
โ The thought of even trying a relationship with anyone terrifies her
โ Most of her memories are painful blurs to her
Catherine Parr
โ Very similair to Jane, actually.
โ Terrified of illnesses as well, will also spiral at the slightest headache
โ Keeps to themselves a lot, their opinion almost had them lose their head.
โ Apologizes to Anne almost everyday, even if they had no idea what they were doing at the time
โ Is technically part of mom club(tm), Never got to actually be a mom to their (bio) daughter. Deals with it differently from Jane, has trouble actually being motherly
โ Terrified of the others keeping secrets from them, or not saying anything when their being annoying or anything
