Hi, I've been poked towards this game and it looks really interesting, but I have a question.

I play a muse from a book canon that has been made into movies. While changes in the storyline of the main plot would not touch her much, the characters' pre-movie history is touched on in the movie and there are some differences in timeline and some altered details, for example: The ascension of her brother to the throne is delayed by 50 years due to her father dying later in the books; a cousin instead of her brother slays the main antagonist (instead of only injuring him) in Tolkien's materials; a years-long war that she took part in has been condensed to a single battle in the movie; her younger son has a different hair colour; ages have been shuffled around. If she should get castmates (that she has canon connections to), it is likely that they would use the movies as their canon.

Would those be handled as separate canons, or could I blend some of the movie facts into her canon history to override details so it would be less obvious? Like making her son dark haired and moving her brother's ascension to the throne to an earlier date, while still keeping the book canon as a whole.
