I don’t know if you’ve answered this before, but do you have any headcanons regarding Miss Peregrine’s relationships with any of her wards specifically? Like about her relationship with Emma, or Bronwyn, or Horace, for example. ♥️
Yes I have! I love seeing her interactions with each child and how that shapes all their relationships! Here are some of my favorite examples:
Claire: She clearly views Alma as her mother; Alma is likely the only maternal figure she has ever known. Alma is fond of her, and even if she doesn't explicitly admit to seeing her as a daughter, Claire is unmistakably a "mama's girl" and loves that role.
Olive: Alma adopted Olive and gave her those lead shoes; it’s obvious the girl was well cared for in every possible way (the whole house was adapted for her)but Olive doesn't share quite as strong a bond with Alma, as she had relatively good parents whom she still thinks about constantly.
Emma: Another case of someone who considers herself the ymbryne's daughter; Emma holds her in such high regard that she changed her birthday to the day Alma found her, because that was the day she met her true mother. Emma is the only one who actually calls Alma "Mother," and the feeling is mutual, even if Emma drives Alma crazy from time to time.
Bronwyn: She holds the ymbryne in high regard; she doesn't view her as a mother, but she respects her deeply. Alma was Wyn's safe haven when Victor left; he entrusted his sister's safety to the ymbryne's capable hands.
Horace: He is just as much a "mama's boy" as Claire; he has been with the ymbryne for so long that he learned to knit from her and adopted her style of dress. He genuinely admires and respects her and views her as a mother, though he won't admit it.
Enoch: He won't admit it, but he deeply admires and respects his ymbryne, even if his behavior suggests otherwise when he's in her presence. When Alma was in danger, Enoch was among those most worried about her; she had welcomed him warmly, giving him the freedom to be whoever he wanted without judgment. He admires his ymbryne and will defend her against any idiot who dares to badmouth her in his hearing.
Millard: Even though some of his regrettable actions might suggest the exact opposite, Millard feels immense gratitude toward Alma; he dedicates his tales to her, as she was the one who introduced him to the world of stories. Initially, Millard was extremely obedient to her and was willing to kill,or die for her. She was the only one in that house who truly "saw" him, even if, in reality, she could only sense him, but to him, that meant everything; he would never be invisible to her, and he cherished that fact, even if the author did ruin this version of Mill.
