What Is a Headcanon?
A headcanon is a personal interpretation, belief, or idea about a character, relationship, or story element that isn't explicitly stated in the original canon material. It's something you believe to be true about a character based on your interpretation of their personality, background, or behavior.
Headcanons are a fundamental part of fandom culture. They allow fans to explore character depths, fill in narrative gaps, and imagine scenarios beyond what's shown in the source material. Some headcanons become so popular within fandoms that they're widely accepted as "fanon" (fan canon).
