I wish I could say that they would feel remorse for trying to kill their daughter, but the moment that they find out that Ava is half-vampire, any affection they have towards her would be gone. She would mean absolutely nothing to them. They would be ashamed to have given birth to her—and in my head, if/when they do meet their daughter again, they would tell her, to her face, that if they had known that this was how she would have turned out, they would have killed her sooner. Both the Daineses and the Liangs (Ava’s mother’s maiden name) are prominent families. Ava being alive spoils their legacy and ruins their reputation—and they can’t have that.

Even before she became a hybrid, Ava’s parents did not treat her well. They were very, very cold to her, as Richard (her father) believed that providing any sort of affection or care towards her would make her soft, and softness does not make great leaders. They were extremely hard on her—more like trainers/coaches than actual parents. 

The only good memories she has with them are these tender moments they would have after really tough battles where Ava’s mother would put an arm around her shoulders and her father would just nod and look at her tenderly. It was these that kept Ava going, despite her rough treatment, convincing her that they truly cared for her—they were just preparing her for the future. She was sure that once she actually came into power as a leader that they would cut her some slack and be more affectionate towards her. Sadly, had she not been taken, she would have found out that wouldn’t be the case. If anything, they’d be harder on her.

10. Do they like children? Do children like them? Do they have or want any children? What would they be like as a parent? Or as a godparent/babysitter/ect?

Ava does like kids, as long as they’re nice. She’s not a fan of asshole (read: rude) children. She will most likely scare them or be rude to them in return. 

She does have children. Two with @wiickedmagic and three with @magicparasite in two AU verses. She’s actually a really good mom, a bit overprotective, but good. Her childhood was a masterclass in bad parenting, so she does everything she can to prevent her children from experiencing even a hint of it. This doesn’t mean that she’s a pushover, Ava has no problem being the disciplinarian. She’s not in the business of raising assholes. 

I don’t believe that having children would be something she’d even consider until she’s faced with it (in other words, if she accidentally gets pregnant), but in most situations, I think she’d keep the child. 

Ava wouldn’t enjoy being a babysitter or a godparent unless she already had a child of her own. You’d have to twist her arm to get her to do either job—and it may cost you quite a bit financially as well.

40. Do they like energy drinks? Coffee? Sugary food? Or can they naturally stay awake and alert?

Energy drinks aren’t Ava’s cup of tea, but she is a fan of coffee (black, sometimes with sugar), and sugary food. She likes them more for the taste than the energy boost—plus, she doesn’t really need it, since she’s usually full of energy, regardless. If you wanna get on her good side, get her chocolate (lots of it) and donuts (but no filling, unless it’s chocolate, she thinks that jelly donuts are a crime against humanity).

41. What’s their sexuality? What do they find attractive? Physically and mentally? What do they like/need in a relationship?

Ava’s sexuality is…complicated. The closest labels that fit her are gray-a and greyromantic. She doesn’t experience sexual or romantic attraction a lot, so when it does happen, it can be kind of a big deal, depending on the intensity. Most of the time, any attraction she feels isn’t enough to seek out the person/develop romantic feelings/jump-start her sex drive. 

However, (and this is usually the case with ships) there can be times when her feelings are too strong for her to ignore. Of course, this doesn’t stop her from suppressing them—which she will do, every time, until the tension boils over. But, even when it does, it still might not be enough for her to have sex—click here for the reason why (scroll down to the fifth and final headcanon).

Ava likes to think that she’s beyond sexual and romantic attraction—and it’s not necessarily a lie. She can go for the rest of her life without having sex, wanting (a significant amount of) affection, yearning for a romantic partner, etc. Hunting the supernatural and saving lives is usually than enough to sustain her throughout her expansive lifetime. I say usually because Ava has ships.

It’s hard to say what Ava finds attractive because attraction happens so infrequently! From what I can tell, she likes her men (and women, if you’re @wiickedmagic​ and @exaltruist​ <3) tall and dark-haired. She also likes people that can hold their own or show strength/aggression of some kind (not towards her, unless they’re sparring). Mentally, she likes people that are smart and witty—anyone she can verbally spar with for long periods of time. Having a dark side doesn’t hurt either.
