Johanna headcanons!! Because I love her!!!
Tumblr media
She likes hard rock/metal. Take one look at her and tell me you don't see it I dare you
Her parents were quite strict; they cared wayyy too much
Or, they didn't care enough and she was left to her own devices most of the time, I can see it going both ways
Either way she got into a lot of trouble as a kid
She wasn't a mean girl or anything, just extremely blunt and curious like Hilda
In fact, Johanna acted a lot like Hilda when she was younger, just more cautious and unsure of herself
She never really had any school/neighborhood friends, which is why she pressured Hilda to make "real" friends at first
As she grew older (around 13-16) and had more family problems, she sort of retreated into herself and became closed off
This is when her passion for art really started blooming
Eventually, sometime right after Hilda was born, she moved them into her granddad's cabin to get away from her parents and the city
(She was very close to her granddad, maybe spent the weekends up at the cabin with him and they'd go exploring outside)
Johanna is terrified of becoming her parents, and any time she does something that reminds her of what her parents would do, she gets extremely guilty and just sort of breaks down (e.g. s2 e8: "the fifty year night")
Her favorite flowers are daffodils, sunflowers, and dandelions (and if you say "they're just weeds" she'll get defensive)
She's a dog person!!!!
She probably had an old family dog that either died or she just hadn't seen since moving out
She thinks of Tontu, Alfur, Twig and Baba like her own kids (David and Frida too sometimes)
And often wonders why she keeps accidentally adopting other kids/creatures
She knits in her spare time!!!! It's not really a hc because she says so in s1 e4 but I like to think she does it primarily around christmas time :)
Johanna has social anxiety (e.g. s1 e5 "the troll rock" and s2 e13 "the stone forest", in which she feels awkward talking to other parents and Hilda says that she never gets out and has no one else to talk to; to which Johanna gets really upset)
She is bisexual (and possibly ace, but that's just the vibe I get from her)
The events of "the mountain king" gave her nightmares for weeks; she'd either not be able to sleep or wake up screaming/ having an anxiety attack
Speaking of, she's had them often for years, but won't really go through with therapy because she feels it doesn't work for her
She's an ugly mug collector. If there's an ugly mug anywhere in any store, it's going in the cupboard and there's no stopping her
Sparrow scouts was her "escape" as a kid; she felt like she belonged with them, even if all the other kids thought she was weird
She wore big chunky braces and glasses for half of her high school years and was made fun of relentlessly (but now she wears contacts)
Johanna has a tendency to cry when she's angry, even if what she's angry about isn't necessarily sad
She's easily flustered, especially around people she isn't familiar with
And lastly, she loves cheesy romance novels and totally has a sketchbook dedicated to fan art 👌🏽
