letās seeā¦she was probably a precocious sort of overly-intelligent child who knew way too much about both political and personal shenanigans. like the other Germanic kids would be completely stumped by some situation within whatever pre-medieval village they were in and Austria is there like āwell, so-and-so is competing with such-and-such for leadership but he canāt let on until his father finally croaks or heāll be disinherited and itās all complicated by the fact that such-and-suchās wife is sleeping with the guy with the deciding vote but he doesnāt even know andā¦ā like her capacity for understanding relationships and stuff is disturbing lmao. also sheās the type of kid to be like āif you donāt do X, i wonāt speak to you againā even to her mother/father/WHATEVER and kinda gets away with it laughs.she comes off independent because of her mental ability but in fact, she needs to be babied a lot and is a cuddlebug/clinger.she likes to dress up in like purple stuff and fur and anything sparkly as some kind of practice for being really important. not that she knows sheās going to be, as such, but she just has a powerful sense of self-importance regardless.iām sure whoever was looking after her wouldāve preferred to keep her hair shorter so it was easier to deal with (although in fairness, if weāre talking about Germanics, iām pretty sure haircare was a big thing), but she probably got to a point where she just refused to let anyone cut it and demanded it be styled and brushed constantly.when playfighting, itās not that she was completely unable to use her little wooden sword or whatever, but it was a lot of effort so she quickly learned most of the other kids would agree to dumb truces and payments lol sheād rip them the hell off too. a Worrying Child

THIS IS THE WORST. okay this isnāt serious headcanon so much as a stupid Sims related thing but i had my Lottie-Sim writing tragic, embarrassing purple prose romance novels in her spare time and i just love the idea of her actually doing that and itās all completely straight-faced laughs. sheās not a BAD writer on a technical level, nor does she write the typical shitty abuse plots so common to that genre lol but she writes SO heavy-handedly, super old-fashioned and gratuitous wordiness, to the point critics would wonder if sheās like 105 years old. but i feel like itād pick up a fandom of obsessive history nerds because her shit is so accurate to the 1700s or 1800s or whenever lmao. although given that thereās some stuff we donāt know/have accurate info on itās possible people would brush off completely true things as inaccurate and sheād fucking fume LAUGHS. she spends way too much time on inconsequential details instead of the plot and just abuses words in general. and the romance is so self-serving like itās refreshing in one way but the male lead is always a little too worshipful of the heroine (who by the way, distracts from the romance from half the book with some shoehorned political plot). and thereās always a ton of pointless etiquette-related shit. given her life, she probably also does like LGBT books that are just as over the top but publishers would probably try and get her to tone things down laughsā¦pARTLY BECAUSE she insists on including a tangled web of explicit affairs between like a dozen characters. āTHATāS WHAT REALLY HAPPENED THOUGH.ā āthe public isnāt ready for thisā
oh and she includes a lot of thinly-veiled attacks on historical figureās characters including people whoāve been forgotten by the public. but not by her
