What we know about Ana is that not only is she inexperienced, but that she is also completely out of touch with her own body. She has trouble recognizing what certain feelings are, let alone recognizing those feelings as being sexual. Also, until Christian came along, she never really found anyone attractive. I am sad to say that in some ways, my fifteen-year-old self would have found her very relatable. When I first got into Batman, I was never really super interested in Jonathan Crane’s character.

You make a nice overall point, but you picked a terrible example to make it with. I actually advise people to come up with a character concept before integrating their character into the world itself. Not only does it let the character stand more on their own, but it also allows you to use the character in other similar settings. I plan on touching on this once I write on making a character concept in the near future. How to Make Your headcanon generator I’m not going to pretend I have all of the answers, least of all on this.
But how awesome would it be if Ana were ace (and consenting)? We would end up with a super popular story starring an asexual character in a BDSM relationship. Remember, just because someone is ace doesn’t mean that that someone will never engage in relationships or sex, or enjoy them. Hell, even I’ll admit that when I’m reading fanfiction, the only sex scenes I mildly enjoy are the ones that take place in BDSM relationships.
Headcanon (or Personal Canon)-- refers to the personal beliefs or interpretations about canon that an author or reader makes to explain or account for some aspect of the actual canon. The headcanon itself, while not officially supported by the canon, tends also not to be actually disprovenor refuted by the canon and will therefore seem plausible in the mind of the fan who imagines it. Headcanons are as many and varied as the fans themselves, may be about the past, present, or future of the character or plot, and can be shared by others if particularly enticing or believable. In fact, if a headcanon is so popular that it gets adopted by many members of a fandom, it may eventually become accepted as fanon for that fandom.
I don’t mean that SUPER literally, but I more so mean that they forget certain things have to happen in order for this to function as a video game and, moreover, an MMO. Some games can let you get away with quite a lot. The Secret World, for example, is rated M. It carries many mature themes and images with very heavy implications and sexual themes. While it's likely many of its players are not actually old enough to be playing it, the general idea is that you should be 17 or older and capable of handling harsh material.
