RE:Village Headcanon
So, obviously it doesn’t fit perfectly into canon but I’ve had this in my head for months.
Mother Miranda is a class-5 manipulator. She knows that if the four Lords worked together, she could be overpowered. So, to keep them at arm’s length, she gives each Lord what the other wants.
Lady Dimitrescu wanted nothing more than to rule her land and have a family. Miranda, knowing full well that Alcina’s beauty was a huge reason people regarded her, rendered her unable to have children due to her size. She also made it so she physically towered over anyone she could have feelings for. Yes, she was given children, but they were hung over her head as bargaining chips and unable to leave the Castle. So, in essence, Alcina went from being a famous singer with a life, to a large woman trapped in a Castle with her daughters.
Donna Beneviento wanted nothing more than company. The grave outside of her home? It’s her child that passed away quite young. When she asked Miranda to reanimate the girl, Miranda refused and gave Alcina daughters instead. Donna, who was young, beautiful, and filled with grief, took the essence of her daughter and put in and a Cadou into Angie. So, while the doll is alive and can speak, she sounds and has similar features to Donna’s dead daughter. Similar to Alcina, Donna is disfigured by Miranda to only further perpetuate her reclusive tendencies.
Salvatore Moreau just wants to love and be loved. Miranda, knowing full well that he desperately craves her attention, instead gives it (and many other things) to Heisenberg. As a normal man, he wanted nothing more to be a fisherman who travelled with a wife. Instead, he’s manipulated into doing unspeakable crimes against humanity and is rendered almost immobile by his pain and physical suffering.
Karl Heisenberg is a ladies man, a bro. He’s strong, able-bodied, and kind of a pig. He’s also gay. All he ever wanted was to run his land with a castle full of red-blooded men. So, during his transformation, the Cadou implants itself in his brain, making him unable to form physical connections with people - a mechanical castration of sorts. Instead of him with the castle of men, the permission is given to Alcina, who is encouraged to keep a gaggle of maidens at her dispoal for anything she could imagine.
Miranda, unable to come second to anything in life, constantly pits the Lords together and refuses to grant them anything that could provide them happiness.
