What are the 3 words that would best describe your waifu?
Try not using broad and unspecific words like ‘’wonderful’’ and ‘’beautiful’’; we all know that our waifus are all wonderful and beautiful.
The 3 words that would, I think, best describe Flandre are (in no particular order):
Recluse: A very canon characteristic of her, as Flandre is said to have almost never leaved her home, the Scarlet Devil Mansion, for 495 years, and as she is also said to have little to no contacts with other people, except the ones living with her. Such lifestyle is said to be imposed by her restrictive older sister, but it is also said that she might be lonely by nature. Still, I like to imagine that I helped her to get more invested in the outside world by managing to convince her sister (slowly but surely) that she should allow her to have more freedom and that it would be for her own good.
Eccentric: Canon writings describe her as mentally unstable, but I personally see her more as having an eccentric personality. It can imply some negative aspects, for example: Having remained isolated for so long, she sometimes has difficulties with social boundaries. Also, when she plays and gets excited, she might have trouble to calm herself down sometimes. But her unconventionality also has a positive side as it makes her unique and interesting. Really, getting to know her more makes one realize that she is a nice person to be with.
One might say that I’m just headcanoning her favorably out of vague super short canon descriptions (which is mostly true), but nothing in the encounter with her in EoSD makes her look like she is crazy (well, she attacks Marisa and Reimu at first encounter… but challenging people at danmaku seems to be a social norm in Gensokyo so I guess it doesn’t count as mental instability).
Playful: I always imagine Flandre as playful and eager to have fun. After all, she talks about playing in both her encounters with Marisa and Reimu. That is something that is also often depicted in fanon too. I like to play games with her all the time and her enthusiasm always brighten my day.
I had, of course, other words that came to my mind, like ‘’affectionate’’, but this is more how I headcanon her with me in our relationship specifically.
