#headcanonss

- Sometimes powers/traits from Lyoko carry over, though not in extremely obvious ways. Odd is much more graceful, almost always landing on his feet; Ulrich feels faster; when Yumi reaches for her pen, it almost always seems to get pulled towards her hand, just in reach.

- William takes a lot of comfort in darkness, but only when there’s noise. He later moves to the heart of Paris, in a section of the city where there’s always something happening outside his window.

- Aelita sometimes struggles to remember how temperatures work sometimes, as Lyoko didn’t have a way to simulate “hot” or “cold.”

- Ulrich gets emancipated from his parents as soon as possible and cuts ties with them completely. He even changes his last name, changing it to “Robbia.”

- Jeremy is actually really good at fencing! Problem is, it almost never helps him with any practical combat, so he rarely gets to show off.

- Yumi paints as a hobby, often creating landscapes or portraits (that may or may not be inspired by Lyoko). Later, she pursues art as her career and sells a lot of the less personal ones. Her most famous paintings are “The Stoic Samurai” and “A Simple Universe,” which are paintings of Ulrich’s Lyoko form and the Lyoko map in the holosphere, respectively.

- Sexuality + some gender headcanons for the main gang (bc I gotta do it):

Jeremie: Trans boy, Heterosexual

Realizes that he’s trans before entering Kadic and his parents help him with changing his name and buying new clothes!

The gang is v supportive and helps him when puberty starts hitting and he starts feeling dysphoric before his parents can come by to help out more.

Ulrich: Bisexual

Absolutely does not realize he’s not straight until waaaay after the series’ events. I’m thinking maybe second-to-last or his last year at Kadic.

He comes out to the gang very slowly (he knows they’d accept him but it’s v scary having the shoe on the other foot) but not anyone else.

He briefly considers telling Sissi, but feels that she might accidentally blab about it to the whole school.

His parents disapprove of anything “gay” so he doesn’t come out to them. Really, it just helps him with the decision to emancipate himself.

Odd: Genderfluid, Pansexual

The bodyswap experience with Yumi was actually his gender awakening! He was able to experiment with more feminine clothing options and realized that he didn’t feel as uncomfortable as Yumi did in his body.

He often uses male pronouns, but he sometimes changes to female or gender neutral ones.

Starts expanding his dating pool after the series and is well known around the school for hitting on everyone.

Briefly dated Herve. Doesn’t like talking about it.

William: Cishet

Very relaxed around the gang and openly accepts all of them! Helps as best he can when they need a shoulder to cry on and does his best!

Yumi: Lesbian

Breaks it off with Ulrich and William after the series, but they’re all on good terms when Yumi explains why.

Ulrich does get a bit testy as she’s the first one ‘out’ in the group and thinks that he was just an experiment or smth. They don’t talk for a good month after that and it basically takes a group intervention to get his head out of his ass. Their friendship is rocky for a while afterward but it smooths out when Ulrich starts having Gay Thoughts himself.

Way, way after graduation, she dates Sissi and they’re surprisingly good together! It shocks everyone and it’s basically open season for some playful banter from the boys.

Aelita: Agender, Asexual

Look, gender is a complex thing, alright? Especially when most of your formative “memories” are as an AI who doesn’t understand humanity.

Aelita gets the hang of it, eventually! But she also starts to think she doesn’t really mind being called a boy, or a girl, so long as she’s considered a person.

She eventually settles on ‘agender’ as she doesn’t feel nonbinary doesn’t really fit, but she’s fine with female pronouns.
