content warning.
henry's life deals with sexual trauma, mental illness, and religious guilt and manipulation. please use caution if these are triggering to you.
about.
henry vi is the head of the house of lancaster and the sometimes king of england. he is, however, completely unfit to rule and has been since he was crowned as a child. henry has grappled with mental instability from a young age and abhors his kingship and war in general, often escaping the castle under the guise of a shepherd and fleeing to the woods to find peace. his wife, margaret, commands his armies in his stead. margaret despises henry and considers him worthless as both a ruler and a man.

from childhood, his mother did not care for him and instead spent her time taking lovers and committing the act of adultery in the castle. henry watched many times as his mother engaged in sexual acts, which left him acutely traumatized as a child. he eventually grew to fear feelings of desire and love, and this led him down a deeply religious path where he would spend much of his time in prayer. henry cannot be intimate with others, terrified of any sort of sexual desire. when it came time to produce an heir for the throne, margaret raped him to become pregnant.

henry's trauma and mental illness causes him to at times enter a mental fog where he forgets much of what is happening and even who he is. he suffers from nightmares and believes himself to be a bad person, longing to be free from the palace but afraid to die because of a certainty that he will not be permitted into heaven. however, when he does slip out of the palace and pretend that he is a shepherd or a traveler, his demeanor can brighten considerably. henry has a childlike personality and enjoys passing his time sleeping in the grass or watching the stars. he has a caring heart and longs for a peaceful and kind world, but living through the wars of the roses ensures that his world will be anything but.

preferences.
m/m. henry's canon love interest is an intersex male-presenting character. keeping his triggers in mind, any shipping would have to be very slow-burn with a hefty side of trauma. he does fall in love in canon and it does go very poorly due to his trauma.

i'm very open to cross-anime/manga! henry is constantly imprisoned and getting the throne taken from him, so i'm open to tossing him into other worlds. he literally lives to run away.

regarding his canon point, i default him to pre-stabbing, but am more than happy to play post-stabbing tyrrell era.
