How did Kanaya become Vriska's moirail?

[exceedingwords.livejournal.com]

I am noting you didn't ask how they met, that? I have no idea. They just did. Idkman.

Buuuuut.

Well, basically, before Kanaya's flush crush appeared it made sense for her to be Vriska's moirail. She was dangerous and needed someone to look after her. Kanaya was the logical choice, she's calm and methodical and one of the rare people who doesn't get too upset with her. Normally. Vriska, I don't know why she went along with it but probably because she realized she needed a moirail.

And probably everyone was saying how Kanaya acted like her moirail for a long time before they made it official. So. Yeah.

Also, part of it most likely had to deal with the Prospit clouds. Kan most likely saw many clouds containing herself and Vriska for a few sweeps. So, that probably prompted her to start a friendship with her.

Yeah, I might have asked that but that's really headcanony headcanon.

Aww. That sounds a lot like them.

At a basic level, they probably started acting like moirails because it just made sense to them. Vriska is the pushy outgoing agressive type of person who needs someone to be their moral compass as they just don't think ahead and Kanaya is a pushy busybody built on logic. Kanaya's also smart enough to know when to back off so she didn't become more than an annoyance to Vriska.

I can see them acting like that not long after they decided they were friends but "officially" only said it to shut up everyone else because it was starting to bother even Kanaya. Then Kan started getting flushed feelings that, like the pale ones, she didn't even realize until someone (ie Eridan) smacked her upside the head with the facts.

What first attracted Kanaya to Rainbow Drinkers and what caused her to find them so fascinating?

[exceedingwords.livejournal.com]

What first drew her was that they thrive in daylight. She, being clever and able to make connections, immediately identified with them. Living in the desert, where the troll undead do exist, did make her realize that Rainbow Drinkers were not real but probably a reflection of Alternian society's fascination with blood combined with the real undead. My headcanon is that Kanaya's own ancestor actually, without realizing it, added to this myth. Basically, Kancestor was the Elizabeth Bathory of Trolls but really did lust for blood for the sake of, well, drinking it, but was completely living and not undead at all. This personality trait that probably was a side effect of having jade blood was passed down to Kanaya--but that's neither here nor there and likely to be jossed in future updates.

Her first Rainbow Drinker "novel" was an illustrated grub-version of Troll Dracula. There are, in real life, summarized illustrated versions of classic novels so little kids can get into them so I think trolls have them, too. Kanaya's lusus wanted her to be well-read. What Kanaya took from it that Rainbow Drinkers were intelligent, light-loving, always wore bright colors, and incredibly dangerous.

As she became older and slowly realized her blood was messing up her sleep schedule and was, in it's own way, alienating her from the other trolls as she was tired/sleeping when most of their adventures were taking place... Well, she identified more with the idea of the Rainbow Drinker--not only that, to her, they symbolized all that Troll Society could be but wasn't--than the common heroes of Alternian society. It wasn't long before she wished they were real (she would argue that wanting monsters to be real isn't the same thing as believing in fairies) and soon, after that, wanted to be one herself.

I would liken her fascination with Vriska's fascination with her Ancestor, Mindfang. Rainbow Drinkers are not just vampires, to her. It's an ideal, a level of being enlightened to rise above a barbaric society. Which lends to why she's not at all impressed with vampires. She set Rainbow Drinkers on a pedestal, they are her ideal, her form of what "perfection" is.

So, while it might seem like Kanaya is just the average teenager fascinated with Twilight it's not like that. It's become a religion to her, almost.

And this is why I love your Kanaya. I am in awe of your headcanon abilities
