Headcanons!
Hello Reapers! So I was thinking that before we get going with everything, maybe it'd be good to talk about the headcanons we have for all the reapers! Since we wanna make this more of an ongoing plot line type thing, it'd be good to know what everyone has in their head.
I'm especially curious about how all of you interpret the reaper world. Are reapers born that way? Do they have parents and siblings? Do they eventually die, themselves? What about those rumored "reaper crazies?" Or maybe they were all once mortal. What was their mortal life like? And what happened to them that won them a spot as a reaper after death? Or maybe you have something completely different in your head?
I'm eager to discuss this and see what you all think! Feel free to post up headcanons for any of the reapers, not only the one you're playing here! Then respond to other's ideas! I'd even love to hear your thoughts on our new German friends~

I've addressed my opinions on Grell's gender here, indicated by the red asterisks. It's such a tired issue by now, surely, so I don't press anyone to look.
I do believe that Grell was genuinely in love with Angelina, and while disgusted that the woman fell short of her duties, also felt that she was doing her a service by slaying her herself.
There's also undeniable infatuation for William; however, it isn't that her love isn't true. If you'd been pining after someone for centuries to no avail, wouldn't you pursue fleeting shots at happiness while they arose?
Sorry, but Sebastian doesn't quite make the cut. Oh yes, Grell does obsess over him, but more in the fashion that a girl fancies a superstar. They look good from a distance, but if those feelings were suddenly returned, the allure would vanish in an instant!
I imagine that Grell sees herself as something like Ronald's big sister, and they certainly bicker - but also, have each other's backs - like it; she and Eric are more prone to enabling one another's more devious habits when they're in the same vicinity; and while she can be jealous of Alan at times, mostly sees him as a fantastic bosom buddy and housewife-senpai.
-- That's momentarily all that comes to mind! If you have any further questions, feel free to ask?
