There Are Two Types Of Draco I Often See In Fanon: The One Where He's Icy And Stoic, And The One Where

There are two types of Draco I often see in fanon: the one where he's icy and stoic, and the one where he's pathetic, whiny, and emotional. Yes, it might sound out of character at first, but neither of these interpretations is completely wrong because both sides exist in canon. And this is what I mean when I say Draco has multiple layers to his personality.

The problem arises when people reduce him to just one version and ignore the rest. That’s what makes him feel off. His character isn’t one or the other—it’s both. For me, good Draco characterization is when writers embrace all aspects of his personality, not just the ones that fit a certain narrative. He’s layered, and that’s what gives him depth. Choosing only one version of him flattens his entire character.
