W.I.T.C.H. Character Headcanons (bc I say so)

So for those of you who don't know, I'm creating a rewrite of W.I.T.C.H. on Wattpad. It will essentially be if it were given a live action adaptation with a standing total of 60 episodes (5 seasons; 12 episodes per season). These headcanons all apply to said rewrite -- I have my Wattpad linked on my blog so go check it out!

Irma is canonically a Latina lesbian, that's zero debate, however I specifically headcanon her as Guatemalan.

Taranee and Peter Cook are canonically blasian! The Cooks are out here representing the blended families! I will be taking no arguments or criticisms!

I read a post a while ago about how every other fantasy world is based on Medieval Europe, Metamoor/Meridian being one of them and I was like "you know what would be cool? if instead Metamoor was based on Ancient Indian culture." so that's what I did and now Elyon and Phobos are ethnically Indian (Elyon's new name is Elyon Bhandari and I can't think of it as anything else now) (plus Metamoor is actually ten times more interesting with the amount of lore I'm creating for it).

sidenote: I need it to be known that Elyon will also be serving as the vice president of the Sheffield Student Government/Student Council to foreshadow her queenliness and she's also a book girly and she has initiative and Phobos is actually clever enough in his manipulation tactics for Elyon to not question everything until the last couple days leading up to her coronation. I wanted the queen to serve.

Everyone imagine real quick (cartoon) Matt Olsen as a black man. I don't know how I started picturing him black but now I cannot stop because it just works! We need a black lead guitar/lead singer of a rock band everyone will be making thirst edits over who is also humble kind sweet loyal loving-- And can I just say he would look sexy hot with the Shagon dreads! You cannot change my mind on this!

Kio Cyr is literally Eric Lyndon! I found an image with him in a NASA t-shirt and I was like "that's him folks!" Though, I do specifically headcanon Eric as Filipino.

Alchemy is now Alchemy Torres and she's a chem/bio nerd with an affinity for puzzles. I'm still figuring her out but she will gain more importance in S2.

I made a crackship out of Nashter (one of the Runics from the 100% WITCH arc) and Taranee and now it's very very serious. Not only does he have a British accent (do not ask) but he and Taranee are basically a detective duo/partners-in-crime turned besties in S3, which corresponds with the Crisis on Both Worlds arc which means angsty Taranee which means incredible banter between a smartass and a flirt.

And when I tell you that Nashter is the only white Runic I mean it: Darmon is lighter skin black, Shalin is Asian of some sort (specific region TBD), Cromo is dark skin black, and Ran-Rah is indigenous af.

Caleb lowkey is giving indigenous energy? I've barely touched him but the farthest I've gotten is that I saw one fanart of Caleb if he were on Phobos' side originally and now he has a whole defection arc in S1 from head of Phobos' guard to rebel leader in addition with angsty C&C so there's that going for us.

hi! i just want to drop by and tell you that i love your W.I.T.C.H themed PACs! i’ve been such a W.I.T.C.H girl since childhood. i find the PACs creative and they really resonate with me. have a splendid day!

thank you so much! also, samesies. i was obsessed with the w.i.t.c.h. comics and series as a kid! still have all the comic books in storage somewhere :')

actually, fun fact: my first introduction to tarot was when i was 11 and they released a halloween special that came with a small w.i.t.c.h. -themed tarot deck, containing the major arcana! doing the w.i.t.c.h. pac readings felt like a little nod to where it all began ♡

30 Days Of WITCHversary Days 25 - 29

Day 25: A Minor Character

I honestly like Alchemy’s dynamic with Elyon and Cornelia. It’s nice to see the guardians have friends outside their magical group.

She was also one of the first people to notice Ely’s absence (besides the Interpol in the comics), and it’s a nice indication of how Meridian shenanigans had some affect in Heatherfield.

Day 26: A fantasy race/people/species

The Ragorlangs from the Sixth comic arc.

I mean, shadow beings that can suck the very life force out of their victims? And they can morph themselves to become solid, liquid and gaseous if they need to get around places? They look and seem like the stuff of nightmares and I love it. They almost remind me of the dementors from Harry Potter.

Day 27: A personal headcanon

I have plenty for worldbuilding purposes, but that’s all for another day.

But here’s one of many I have on the Escanors: I feel like Ely’s feelings about Bos are more complicated than just betrayal and contempt. Her reaction in the panels above make that she might actually...miss(?) him somehow.

Phobos, for all his bad deeds, was the only biological family Elyon had left and her only link to her Queen Mother (who she’s shown to cherish quite a lot despite not even knowing her—at least in the comics). Her Queen Mother during Issue 12 even mentions how important it is that she somehow ‘helps’ Phobos because of that reason.

Of course, the guardians (and Miriadel and Alborn of course) feel like the family she can have and lean on. But she probably wishes that Phobos could’ve been a good brother to her too. His ‘death’ made her realize and remember that there’s no chance of that ever happening.

Day 28: A personal memory

The novelicized version of A Bridge Between Worlds, because it was the first thing I’ve ever read about WITCH and made me fall in love with the series.

One of the parts that stick with me is the one where Elyon reminiscences about a moment with her mom (one that I mentioned in an earlier post) because she gets homesick about Heatherfield. Especially with how it was written? I just wish I still had this book with me so I could reference the parts I’m talking about, but I unfortunately lost it. :’^)

But it really captured the fond nostalgia Elyon was feeling, and the warmth of her memories in Heatherfield and her parents and friends, constrasting with how she feels in Meridian—cold, unfamiliar with her surroundings, and only with a distant brother and obscure truths...

Day 29: A word of thanks to any WITCH artists/writers

Well, I’d like to thank Elisabetta Gnone, Barbara Canepa, And Alessandro Barbucci for making WITCH and healing all of this become possible! (Plus points to Barbucci, who just dedicated a whole Inktober to WITCH in rememberance)

And I’d also like to thank Elizabeth Lenhard, the author of the novelicized version of the Meridian Arc, for having a hand on introducing me to WITCH in the first place.

30 Days of WITCHversary -5

Favorite Friendship

Irma and Hay Lin. No contest. They have an absolutely wonderful dynamic of Shenanigans and their close friendship is just incredibly cute.

The way they are so physically close with each other and encourage each others nonsense is very fun. Their relationship is very deep and stopped really being touched on after awhile and it made me sad because they have such a deep, longstanding friendship that would have been so fun to explore. Irma, Hay Lin, Elyon, and Cornelia grew up in the same city(likely went to the same school for several years At Least) why didnt we get more of their longstanding in-jokes and traditions(why was the ‘if you get a fail grade we dare you to do some nonsense’ dropped?? That would have been really fun to play with)? Why couldnt we have gotten Irma and Hay Lin just wordlessly supporting eachother, more of Hay Lin being aware of Irma’s mom and diverting conversations that stray around topics that remind Irma of her birth mother, more of Irma just referencing one word and Hay Lin cackling uncontrollably? More of anything long-term friends do?

What we got was wonderful... But I cant help but want more because just wow were they compelling and cute.

Alchemy is from W.I.T.C.H

[i-plague-eater]

It took me long to choose characters but I've ended with Elyon, Orube and Yazoo (from FFVII). First, Elyon.

I like her shaggy hairstyle in cartoon a lot! It is a reason for Kane/Phobos to has his hair so wild! But in a comic book her silhouette is much closer to Weira and they're said to be very look alike, so I've came with a compromise between comic and cartoon versions. Her iconic sweater is a noticeable detail too, plus it's purple and purple always gives a magical and mystique vibe.

I'm not gonna lie: as a kid, I've never been fond of her. As far as I know, most fans say the same as I do: she's too sugary sweet, naive, gullible and never had a chance to kick Phobos's ass. But as she's one of the characters in my fancomic In Breach, I followed my commom approach "You can't have a character in your script and feel a subjective grudge towards them". So I started asking myself why Elyon is acting the way she does. And I've discovered а very interesting fact.

Why she WOULDN'T act the way she does?

She is an ordinary teen girl, not the smartest, not the brightest (when it's not about amazing drawing skills that she share with Hay Lin. I mean, come on!). She isn't the most socially successful, as she mentioned in a cartoon "I'm a teenager without friends" (in rus dub). The ordinary "normal" type. Her only stable relationship is with Cornelia and Alchemy. She's so unnoticed that only Alchemy notified the police that Elyon is missing. And Alchemy is not a teacher, just a classmate. A family has disappeared and literally no one (including neighbors) told to police that lights were off for a long time.

Yes, we see Elyon in a background from time to time and she even says a phrase or two. She's not an outcast type, she hangs with the others BUT every time we see her involved it also involves Cornelia who was most likely the one who invited her. And she's always slightly away from the rest making me think she only does this to mix with her surroundings. We never see her hanging with her own company or even a single friend instead of the main heroes or Alchemy (who's also a Cornelia friend). Or Bryan... but it was a sad and short story. We never see her having a long dialogue unless we know who she really is. It's an arguable point tho as the story is about W.I.T.C.H girls and script writers probably were trying to keep a secret of her true nature.

But when Cedric appears! Unlike her furtive parents that always withhold something and Cornelia who's all about herself (with all the respect to Cornelia), Cedric just... listens to her. He shows compassion, non-judgmental approach and sound sincere. With him Elyon feel being special. Not to mention that Cornelia has betrayed her for Will (we know the reason behind it but Ely doesn't).

And then! Bang! Suddenly Elyon becomes THE special. The only one! She's like Harry Potter who got a letter from Hogwarts, like issekai character, the fucking King Arthur, THE CHOSEN ONE! Common people of Meridian are praying on her, servants are ready to perform any caprice, Miranda is being nice and ready to play with her, her older brother is such a sweet and cheerful person who would do just anything for her. She's like Coraline who found the other mother. And this case is actually so good that it should be in a video "How and why people fall for abusive relationship or being lured into a sect".

The only thing she can be accused is being too gullible but she acts as a person who grasps any straw. Who would you choose? Parents who lied to you for your whole life? Fake friends who replaced you with a new girl.

We can go deeper here. Remember the first scene with Elyon in a comic book? She got a low grade and instead of supporting her, her "friends" invent a humiliating punishment to hit on a stranger. Although they know she's quite shy! What a nice company we have here, don't we?

Don't get me wrong, teenagers may show low empathy due to their age. Cornelia isn't a bad person too. She's the most loyal friend one might only dream of! Both in a comic book and cartoon she stays at Elyon's side and refuse the idea of her friend being evil. Although Elyon did a lot in a comic book to be judged. Cornelia risks her own life to get to her. BUT she's still quite an narcissist type. Such people attract very specific friends: those who always stay in their shadow, never a threat or a competitor. You can see others confronting her in either passive-aggressive form or trying to show her a place like Irma does. But Elyon was with Cornelia since they were small kids. I have a theory that Elyon actually wins from it too: she seem very "normal" by hanging with a popular friend who would invite her to every party. And literally no one can say no to Cornelia, right? And Elyon seem present in the society. And at the same time she actually isn't.

So here's the whole picture: Elyon isn't a scapegoat outcast like Martin, she isn't labeled as "odd" like Hay Lin. BUT she's not a successful either. She's a blank one, that average conformal person that does their best to suit "normal" standarts. She's short on social contacts, she's breadcrumbed by Cornelia and has no friends outside her pack. As we remember, Alchemy is also Cornelia's friend. Both Browns are hideous, insanely quiet people who made a very, very isolated, incapsulated family to the point that no one even notices their absence. They do their best to lay low and they teach Elyon to act the same way (we know why, but it's quite unhealthy thing you know). I bet Eleanor is quite unhappy with Ely's marks, but I'm not sure if she's strict about it. She's been shown as a good parent in both comic and cartoon. Although the way Elyon agreed to throw them in prison in a comic so easily is something that keep my brain buzzing.

Sooo my idea is that her reliance problems has started long before the cartoon events. Her social contacts never worked properly to begin with and that's why Cedric got her so easily. Not to mention his speech skills. Elyon was a quiet, shady kid with a certain tendency for escapism. Drawing on her level is quite a specific trait that requires a lot of time spend alone and some wild imagination. I think while she never shows this in a cartoon and probably suppressed it, she was really envy of Cornelia, Irma, Hay Lin and even Taranee having huge and nice families, lots of friends and being very bright people. While she's... on the sidelines. There's a thick wall of white lies between her and her parents. She's... no one. Only Cedric shown her what being heard and important is.

Although all the above is cool, it makes her a bit bland to my personal taste. So in my AU called In Breach I given her a bit salt and spice by returning her some of her comic characteristics. I see her as a stalker type, very jealous and vengeful, but too afraid of showing aggression and staring a feud. She would write some really nasty fanfiction about her foes and spread rumors, make ugly caricature on Grumper sisters. Might even play a nasty prank on someone if she can get away unnoticed. But nothing violent, just humiliating.

So, imagine this lost envious girl stumbling across another narcissist. Different from Cornelia, quite a violent type. The one who seem to be afraid of no one. Like, literally not a single person can tell him what to do - even the police (on a first glance. In reality, he's afraid of jail as fuck). The one who questions the moral, the normality, the good and evil. AND telling her this is what she can and should be. WELL WELL WELL WHO COULD THAT BE)

Also, a song that must be a soundtrack for her kicking Phobos's butt in a cartoon.
