LEWIS ANWYL HEADCANONS
This will be a place for me to dump some headcanons about Lewis' character. I'll probably add more as I go along.

- I believe I touched on this in his bio, but his first language is Welsh, and he did not learn English until he was a teenager. In the early 1800s, most of Wales still solely spoke Welsh in their communities, especially in small towns like Pwllheli. Lewis considers himself fluent in English, but his accent is still quite thick. He doesn't tend to take very kindly to questions about the language, thanks to the general disdain that English society has for the Welsh people and language; even if someone is asking about his native language out of genuine interest, he'll make the automatic assumption that they're mocking him. It's very, very rare that you will ever hear him utter a single word of Welsh.
- He has two stray cats that are kind of his pets now, purely because they just keep coming in through his window. Both are orange tabbies. He thought they were both one cat for a solid year or so until he walked into his house one day and saw both of them in the same room. He leaves the windows open for them to come and go as they please.
- He didn't have a great time as a student. He came to London a bit wide-eyed, expecting everything would be easy for him, and things... were not very good. 'Medical student' in this era became basically a by-word for 'rowdy party lads,' and most medical students lived up to that reputation to the fullest. Lewis was very much the odd one out, and his peers played a lot of jokes at his expense because of it. He still managed to get by through sheer stubbornness, but he had an absolutely miserable time.
