2. What is/was your character’s relationship with their mother like? 3. What is/was your character’s relationship with their father like?

This is gonna get pretty speculative here, so forgive me if this answer changes as we learn more about Eda and Lilith in canon. This is purely headcanon at this point, going off of my understanding of the story structure of the series plus a little wish fulfillment on my end that is absolutely going to be written differently when the show itself catches up.

Now that that disclaimer’s out of the way!

Eda wasn’t always the ‘problem’ child, wild and untameable and ready to cause a ruckus at all times. It started young, when she saw how much more praise Lilith would get from their Moms than Eda herself would, and found that the only way to get attention was to get negative attention by acting out.

Eda’s relationship with her Moms, both accomplished witches of the Emperor’s Coven, was largely summed up in ‘I’m not mad, I’m disappointed’, which made Eda feel a lot of pressure to perform well in school that ultimately turned into acting out there, too, because she couldn’t come anywhere near Lilith’s perfect grades and model bookworm student persona.

Their Moms vanished mysteriously when Eda was about 13 and were never found or heard from again. From that point on, Lilith became the ‘adult’ of the house during a time when Eda was at her most volatile, leading to more conflict between the two of them.

Mother to Uchiha Madara and Uchiha Izuna, was 15 years old upon having her first child. As was before the village, era, she was never given a formal rank, but her skills ranged up to Jounin level, for reference. She uses fire, water and earth ninjutsu, but specializes in the short sword kodachi, which she coats with a paralytic strong enough to stop her enemy’s heart. She has attained the sharingan.

After her marriage to Uchiha Tajima, she became a housewife, protecting their children and home and was killed at 30 years of age by an unknown (presumed Senju) assailant in front of Madara and Izuna.

Her personality is firm, but kind, stubborn and fearless. She’s willing to take anyone and everyone under her wing if they prove their loyalty to her or to her family.

There are a couple--the first would have to be that clan headship, marriages etc, are all done by fighting--by power. Based on who’s strongest in the clan, who are the clan head or clan heads--their wives, the same. This fell out of favor as they accustomed to village life, but for Madara’s generation, maybe the generation after, as well as his father’s, and his grandfather’s. 

They say that the Uchiha prized power and love above all else, and that had to come from somewhere.

fill out & repost ♥ This meme definitely favors canons more, but I hope OC’s still can make it somehow work with their own lore, and lil’ fandom of friends & mutuals. Multi-Muses pick the muse you are the most invested in atm.

My muse is:   canon / oc / au / canon-divergent / fandomless /

Is your character popular in the fandom?  YES / NO / [Madara is both famous and infamous and i’ve seen so many people either hate or love him with absolutely no in between but the consensus seems to be positive (at least from personal experience)]

Is your character considered hot™ in the fandom?  YES / NO/ 50/50 [Some people think Madara’s absolutely hot and there are other people that think he’s.. not. I think it’s the eyebags lol, he just needs some sleep ]

Is your character considered strong in the fandom?  YES / NO [ the only one stronger than him was Kaguya. (at least from a 1v1 perspective, the only one that got close was Maito Gai) LBR here, the man took on an entire shinobi army, consisting of the Kage and the 9 tails. Hashirama and Tobirama, both.. he’s stacked, literally God-tier by shinobi standards. He’s considered powerful, yes, but sometimes I see that people don’t really take that into account when interacting with him in his canon-divergent verses, or try to make a mockery of him. He wouldn’t stand for that bs, tbh.]

Are they underrated?  YES / NO [It seems that as time goes on and Boruto progresses the original cast seems pushed to the side, especially when new villains come out, and new challenges are to be faced. I’d say, yes now. No, when he was first revealed in the shinobi war (i remember how everyone was so excited to see him maul ppl in the shinobi war, but that was so many years ago now).]

Were they relevant for the main story?  YES / NO. [The last part of the manga was directly about the protagonists fighting him and was only overshadowed by Kaguya, so I’d say..yes.]

Were they relevant for the main character?  YES / NO 

Are they widely known in their world?  YES / NO

How’s their reputation?  GOOD / BAD / NEUTRAL. [Not really an inbetween here, either.]

How strictly do you follow canon? – So I tend to follow Madara’s canon personality and his backstory, but most of what I write comes after the shinobi war, whether it be in a modern verse or immortal au or anything of the like. The one constant is his personality and experiences in the past, which i try to mirror in all my au because it’s easier to keep his personality consistent if that makes any sense at all.

SELL YOUR MUSE! Aka try to list everything, which makes your muse interesting in your opinion to make them spicy for your mutuals. – Madara’s ambitious, hard working, cunning--basically a Slytherin without the blood purity bs, let’s acknowledge that. He’s surprisingly forward with his reasoning why he’s doing what he’s doing, so he’s not afraid to make waves to change the world to make it a better place (in his view ofc). He’s not afraid to use whatever or whoever is at his disposal to guarantee his victory, even if it’s not completely ideal. You can guarantee that his motivations, while not completely on the “right” side of the moral compass aligns with what he believes is right, which is a double edged sword for him. He’s bold and speaks his mind, and is not afraid of the consequences.

Now the OPPOSITE, list everything why your muse could not be so interesting (even if you may not agree, what does the fandom perhaps think?).  – Madara has a bad habit of not trusting people, of becoming too paranoid about their motivations and that’s become his downfall multiple times. He’s too determined or stubborn to see when his plan isn’t working and waits too long to change it and ultimately leads to his ruin. He’s not nice by any means at all, and that makes a lot of people dislike him even if his motivations are good. Also, another note, especially about fandom: they consider madara either complete trash or a complete god, when he’s multifaceted and it’s very hard to not be annoyed by it. A lot of people just consider him this evil entity and it’s.. frustrating.

What inspired you to rp your muse?  – So I was writing Madara when everyone thought Tobi was Madara and I really liked how everything was leading--how he was manipulating the entire world to do what he wanted and immediately wanted to write him because his mentality was so different than mine. Granted, I was coming from writing an OC, Severus Snape and Draco Malfoy (two of which i had wrote with my irl friends since I was in middle school, passing a notebook between classes every day). I wanted and needed a change because my passion for writing was waning and Madara held my interest very well (more than any of the other characters tbh, minus Itachi.)

What keeps your inspiration going?  – My partners, new thread ideas especially, when i see new content/art/etc of my muse is a big one. I can see someone draw an au and immediately think of a couple thread ideas based on that. When the content stops coming, it’s hard to write even if I do post a lot of sketches/madara content myself.

Some more personal questions for the mun.

Give your mutuals some insight about the way you are in some matters, which could lead them to get more comfortable with you or perhaps not.

Do you think you give your character justice?  YES / NO.

Do you frequently write headcanons? YES / NO.

Do you sometimes write drabbles?  YES / NO/ (I used to on multiple blogs but stopped because it got too hectic)

Do you think a lot about your Muse during the day?  YES / NO.

Are you confident in your portrayal?   YES / NO.

Are you confident in your writing?  YES / NO.

Are you a sensitive person?  YES /NO. (Not really, I’ve had to grow quite thick skin to continue writing in this fandom and i’m too stubborn to stop now if someone steps over a couple things. After all, a lot of context is lost through text only messaging. 9/10 times it’s a genuine miscommunication.)

Do you accept criticism well about your portrayal?  – Yes, even if I’m skeptical at first. I can learn from anyone or anything, even if it’s not worded so nicely.

Do you like questions, which help you explore your character?  – !! I love them so much. I love writing about what he would think or do, and basically flesh out headcanons that I already have. It would actually give me an excuse to.

If someone disagrees to a headcanon of yours, do you want to know why?  –  Mmhm. Yes, of course. I would love to know why and what basis they have in the manga or why they think it so. It’s fun to have a healthy debate every once in a while. you know?

If someone disagrees with your portrayal, how would you take it?  – I’d just let it rest and let them have their own opinions about it. Not a big deal to me. 

If someone really hates your character, how do you take it? – I just want to know why. He’s a great character, has had ups and downs, redemption multiple times, etc, so there’s so much to discuss about it. If they hate him they hate him and that’s their business but I’d have to admit that I’m curious why.

Are you okay with people pointing out your grammatical errors?  – Hell yeah. Point it out, I want to get better when I write 

Do you think you are easy going as a mun?  – Yeah! I honestly don’t care about formatting, icons, etc. I’m not too picky about thread content, I enjoy ooc conversation a lot, I’m pretty much open to anything, if anything, I like interacting with people a little too much and tend to do that instead of reply lol

That’s about it, congrats for filling out!

In modern verse, he takes much better care of himself than the others--at least in the canon verses, immortal verses, he’s very clean but not as focused on looking good. He goes for functionality over looks, unless he’s using them to get him somewhere.

He doesn’t like spending so much time on looks when he’s going to ruin it by being in battle or is too busy to spend time on it. He sees it as frivolous because he’s just going to have to continually maintain it and spend so much time on it when he could be spending his time on other endeavors. He just thinks that past him keeping himself clean and his hair combed, it’s a waste of time.

_____________________________________

Madara has never been diagnosed with a mental illness in any of his verses, at least formally. I once had a thread with @kusunokihime where he receives treatment for persistent night terrors and by extension, his ptsd. Madara would definitely benefit from therapy.

I headcanon him as having depression, anxiety, ocd and a very severe case of ptsd. I could see him going over the bodies in his wake, making sure they’re actually dead before he leaves the battlefield and compulsively washing his hands to get the blood off afterwards, even if he shows none of it to anyone else.
