#she and nyrissa end up driving each others chaotic tendencies even higher

💄, 👩‍👩‍👧, 💕 for Mercury please!^^

thank you!

💄 for an appearance headcanon

Mercury cut her own hair for most of her life, and even after becoming a royal with people who would do that sort of thing for her, there are times when she’ll get bored and give herself some new bangs

👩‍👩‍👧 for a childhood headcanon

When Mercury was still pretty young she asked her dad why she was the only blue one in the family, and he told her that when she was a baby they accidentally gave her a bottle filled with silver instead of milk. When she got a little older he actually explained the whole ‘tiefling’ thing, but the silver explanation became a running joke in the family and was one of the things that kick-started Mercury’s interest in chemicals!

💕 for a love headcanon

Mercury did have real feelings for Nyrissa at one point, and in an AU where her Chaotic is turned up even higher than it already is, she might have accepted Nyrissa’s offer of immortality and the two would have ended up together

But in her canon state, she’s more conscious of her duty to protect her kingdom, and she can’t get past all the things Nyrissa has done to hurt her people. There’s still some regret, but it’s not enough for her to forgive everything that happened between them

Headcanon Asks

#thanks for the ask! #ch: mercury #for more rambling thoughts on her love life #kanerah and mercury are fun bc they balance each other #mercury's compassion balances kanerah's selfish tendencies #and kanerah's practicality balances mercury's irresponsible tendencies #but in an au (aka if i didnt buy the dlc) #mercury is a lot more chaotic and impulsive and likely to risk engaging with the fey that wants to destroy her kingdom #she and nyrissa end up driving each others chaotic tendencies even higher #both interesting options tbh #but her canon ending is the first one #yanara126
