#chiyoh

(Btw that’s not her husband in the photo. It’s her co-star Kyozo Nagatsuka for her new movie All of a Sudden)

These two already have an incestuous and enmeshed relationship on the mental plane, but despite Chiyoh being in isolation for 25 years, she knows more than enough about using seduction and femininity as a means of influence.

She may have learned these things from Murasaki since she learned all societal values of being a woman from her, but she may have also learned a thing or two from Hannibal about seduction.

And I think there is a mercy Mischa died early because while I do think they both would grow up to still care for each other, I do think it be Mischa who would know of Hannibals darker self.

So here are my headcanons for Mischa:

She refuses to eat Hannibals cooking. Mostly the meat at first. She might make a big deal of being vegatrian then bumping it up to a hardcore Vegan. It's easy to explain away. Before slipping into a militian eater. She must be the one in control of her food. (Because it may have been tamper with.) Stress avoids food. Even hospitalize for it. But its all just anxiety revolved around Hannibal.

Mischa is jealous of Hannibal. Not only is he a brillant mind, but he is an artist, able to read people well, speak well, move about the world well. Is the first born, the son, and the heir. And knew their parents and remember them better. Also not all of his advice or commands are wrong.

This woman chose to live alone in a derelict castle for thirty years in order to psychologically torture a cannibalistic murderer because she doesn’t believe in killing, then spent all her screentime going to incredible lengths to protect a cannibalistic murderer. By killing. A whole lot of people.

She grew and hunted her own food, and apparently is highly proficient at a wide array of ranged weaponry.

She told the prowler she met two minutes ago “all he’s allowed is the sound of water, for it is what the unborn hear.” Then went on to share a train, a bed, and a kiss with that prowler (who she’s deduced is in love with her favored cannibal) then threw him from a train.

She did all this voluntarily since no one would ever know if she killed her prisoner or freed him or locked the door and walked away. Not even Hannibal would know what happened since he would never go home.

A daughter full of wisdom and knowledge of warfare and the council to her father. She doesn’t escape poor treatment out of her father’s ego, but she does escape punishment even when she crosses him out of righteousness. Most everyone else suffers consequences.
