Saw a post asking about common Fanon, decided to start a discussion about the Undersiders and what they're actually like. Mainly because I'm a victim/carrier of the "golden hearted Undersiders" mindset, always will be, and still want to see them accurately represented. If they develop into kind people over the course of a fic, that's one thing, but they should all start as rat bastards at each other's throats, and I understand that.

So! What's some common Fanon about each member of the Undersiders, and what are they actually like in Canon?

• Taylor, our favorite protagonist, doesn't actually start the series as a ruthless Warlord genius. A lot of her struggles before Leviathan are just normal teenager things shaded by her life being a crap sack and her new job being highly illegal. Her relationship with Authority is complicated as hell, she may or may not be kinda racist (or so I read somewhere) and her ability to self-justify calls everything we read from her viewpoint into question at least a little. (Honestly this blurb is a placeholder because just having a list of names doesnt feel like contributing to the discussion to me, so feel free to correct me on any of that.)

• Lisa

• Rachel

• Alec

• Brian

• Aisha

• Others?
