What Are Headcanons?

Headcanons are personal interpretations and background details that creators imagine for characters beyond what's presented in official material. They're the "what ifs" and "behind-the-scenes" elements that make characters feel more real and multidimensional.

While commonly used in fan communities, headcanons are equally valuable for original character creation, helping writers develop richer backstories, motivations, and personality quirks.
