Love is in the air...
Does anyone like music? Here is my head canon on musical tastes for each main character.
Samus enjoys hard rock and metal, a few things even veering into scream or death metal.
Rundas’s interests often overlap with Samus’s, but his taste is a little softer - he doesn’t like much metal and prefers soft rock. Sometimes he listens to rap or hip hop.
Ghor listens to classical music exclusively and detests anything more modern or technological.
Gandrayda enjoys smooth jazz and experimental music, often things that don’t keep a consistent beat or tone.
U-Mos enjoys trance and lo-fi music.
Adam doesn’t usually listen to music, but when he does, he listens to the trashiest, most generic pop music he can find. He hates it, but claims that it helps him zone out and focus on thinking when he has to work and plan. Once he listened to the same song 127 times in a row when he stayed up all night planning an attack on a space pirate base.
Anthony likes soul music with a focus on poetic lyrics.
Ridley won’t listen to anything except death metal and screamo.
Kraid will listen to and enjoy literally any type of music imaginable. Ridley once almost convinced him that the sound of a radiator working was a song, and Kraid said he liked it.
Dark Samus almost never had a chance to listen to music, but she enjoyed anything with an emphasis on a slow, loud backing beat and no lyrics. It reminds her of the metaphorical heartbeat of Phaaze and all phazon.
It is time for some Metroid Headcannon....
Because Gandrayda has the power to change her form whenever she wants, she consciously has to hold her cells in the shape of her natural form
Gangrayda can shapeshift into almost any material. A lover of pranks and challenges, Gandrayda made used of this ability on many occasions. She often used shape-shifting pranks to grab the attention of people she admired- probably on Samus on more than one occasion. She was the sort of person who’d pretend to be your coffee table for a week before springing out on you, more for the sake of testing how long she can remain as a coffee table than for the satisfaction of scaring you shitless (but that was always a bonus to giggle about later.)
