Ideas
I'm not entirely certain if this is Base Game related or Life & Death related, but I added Clement Frost to my household (by having him get married to a preexisting member) and he immediately showed Wants & Fears bubbles above his character icon even though I had that setting disabled (unchecked).
I rechecked it in settings, applied changes, then unchecked it again, and applied changes again (without exiting the Game Options menu) to get rid of them, but when he aged up to an Elder it happened again. Specifically just a want to "Designate an Heirloom" which makes me think it may be Life & Death specific instead of Base Game. I haven't seen this behavior before when adding NPCs to households so I really lean toward it being a Life & Death issue.
I did have an infant in the household be aged-up by having an adult help them blow out candles on a cake and the now-toddler did not have Wants or Fears bubbles appear so I think this (the Wants & Fears setting not being honored) is exclusive to NPCs.
Screenshots are attached showing Clement Frost having the Want to "Designate an Heirloom" with a reason of "Aging Up" as well as the Gameplay tab showing the "Show Wants & Fears" option is unchecked while that bubble is displayed.
