Revamping! [Open to anyone who feels like plotting~]

Okay, so. I have a Coombs problem, and I've been toying with bringing Fabrice back for awhile now but. Plotting with Julia makes me determined to bring him back, so I thought, following in her footsteps, I'd put up a general plotting/brainstorming post for anyone interested? He'll be mostly the same: still working at the zoo like the nerd he is, living in his same house, magic focusing on animals and healing, with his same three cats, still bisexual as fuck, still a shapeshifter.

Only I'm retconning it so that Julia's new!Alodia is his twin sister. They do all the normal sibling things - magic, getting into fights when anyone threatens the other, shapeshifting and accidentally setting stuff on fire. You know, the usual. His animal form is now also going to be an owl. Or a deer. Probably a deer, now that I'm thinking about it. But I'm still deciding. And I'm considering having him getting cursed so that he winds up transforming when he's particularly startled or something like that, just for a fun plot to get him reintroduced.

Beyond that, I'm sure there are other things that I'll change, too. But I just wanted to get this post up for plotting purposes. :D

He'll be coming in after I bring Lexi, because God knows she's been a long time coming, but he's definitely returning in the near future. :D

Headcanon/Potential plot idea?

Okay, so. This is perhaps a culmination of me listening to the Nutcracker score constantly, a desperate need to have a dancing character, and my nostalgia for my own dancing days, but I've come to realize that Fabrice is a dancer. Or, he was. He took lessons until he graduated high school; he was decent, but he never was going to be professional, and he always put it beneath animals and magic in terms of his hobbies. He loved it, he just never realized how much. Dancing was a way for him to express himself; he never felt shy while in tights; he felt liberated. He's going to start taking adult lessons again at the local studio, which I'll work on at some point, and he's going to perform in this year's performance of the Nutcracker.

BUT he's not going to realize his need for dance in his life, a way to release stress, until he snaps at someone. I really liked what Amanda mentioned about Fabrice being a "fluffy blanket over steel" sort of character. It makes me realize I totally based him on Sansa Stark without even realizing it. And maybe Jon Snow a little bit. But, the point is, he is fiercely loyal and kind until people start hurting the ones he loves. Then he'll do anything to defend them. So, I think, at one point, I'm going to have him get in a barfight of sorts? He won't be using magic, because he is utter crap at offensive and defensive magic. This will be resorting to fists. And, normally, he never resorts to violence. But someone is going to go too far, and he's going to defend them. If anyone wants to do anything plotwise with this, please feel free to let me know!

It's in the aftermath of this that Fabrice will realize he needs a way to let off stress, and he'll return to dancing. And if you have characters that dance, please feel free to plot with anything revolving around that, as well! Ah, I'm sorry for rambling; I just got struck by this gigantic piece of headcanon, and well. Here we are. :)
