fenella my beloved

when all of her older siblings had left home, fenella's wings were mutilated in her defenceless stone state as a child, leaving her unable to fly and truly 'leave the nest' as intended. she has stayed at castle tynemouth to help care for orphaned gargoyles and assist new parents in raising their young.

fe3h oc drawcember day 3 :3

again just a few minutes late . this will be a running theme i think

concept art dump!!! this is for fitzgerald's timeskip design specifically. spent a long time trying to figure out what i wanted to go for. even though he's meant to be a dancer, i didn't want his timeskip design to literally just be the dancer concept, so i went with the slavic inspiration of the kukeri - dancing monk/priest-like bulgarian fellows adorned in bells that ward off evil spirits and celebrate the coming spring. he is a dancer for explicitly religious reasons and i wanted that to be obvious. anyway yippee seteth finally got to him and he covers his ears now and wears sothis-esque ribbons :3

fe3h oc drawcember day 2 :3

this is an hour late but oh well

i also didn't do day 1 because i don't have a fewth design for fitzgerald yet LOL

[battry-acid]

zhekhail dragon design!!! he is the electricity dragon (meant to be in relation to the lightning dragon) and i picture his scales perking up like lightning rods as electricity races back and forth down his spine, and his acts being big ol balls of energy. plus he's a bug :) yay

lineup with all my dragon designs, canon and fanon!

and finally just a little sketch of zhekhail and lyonel (@merlyybird's oc) mainly for a size reference. he's not a very big dragon since he's still pretty young

FITZGERALD INFO #2

fitz thoughts continued!!! here's a full written biography for funsies:

~ Biography ~

Zhekhail was born over a thousand years ago in Zanado. Shortly after, the threat of their civilization being destroyed by Those Who Slither in the Dark and Nemesis caused Zhekhail’s parents to place him in a chamber disguised as a tomb on a mountainside. They cast a long-lasting sleep spell upon him (which also preserved his youth) and sealed him away. The civilization of Zanado was destroyed and the Nabateans were almost completely wiped out, safe for Seiros and the Four Saints. Nemesis killed Zhekhail’s parents, and Those Who Slither in the Dark used his mother’s bones to create Thunderbrand for Charon, a member of the Ten Elites. 

In 1164, the tomb was opened by an expedition group from Kukeri, a town in southern Charon territory, led by Father Edward Fitzgerald. The bishop uncovered the body of a sleeping baby, wrapped in a blanket emblazoned with an unfamiliar crest sign, who awakened upon being touched. Edward marveled at the fact that this being, which appeared to be less than 12 months old, could remain in a tomb in which the only entrance had clearly been sealed for a very, very long time; the pillars of stone were cracked and covered in overgrowth, dust coating the floor of the tomb’s chamber. And yet the being cooed and laughed as any human baby would. As he began to leave, Edward noticed the inscription of the name “Zhekhail” upon the stone casket in which he had slept. Such was the child’s intended name. He took Zhekhail back to the church of Kukeri and decided to raise him himself, as he had no children of his own.

Though Zhekhail seemed to age like an ordinary child, it was clear that he was far different from them; when falling down or running into things, he remained unscathed. On the occasions where he would be more significantly injured, the blood he bled was green instead of red. Despite clearly having a pulse, he had no heartbeat. Even as a toddler, he could tell when a thunderstorm was about to roll in, and would go outside to watch the clouds as they flashed with light. Once, at 4 years old, he was struck by lightning, yet was completely unharmed; in the hours that followed, he unknowingly gave Edward a shock of static electricity every time he tried to touch him. 

Not knowing that he was a Nabatean, Edward came to the conclusion that Zhekhail must be godly in some way, and hypothesized that he would be the second coming of Seiros. From then on, he decided to raise Zhekhail in total seclusion from the rest of the world and teach him everything he could based on Seiros’s scripture only. 

Father Fitzgerald conditioned Zhekhail to be exceedingly religious. It was instilled within him to be kind and generous to all, but to also be distrusting of foreigners, and to remain isolated among fellow believers. Though not nobility, he was expected to be a believer and to inspire other commoners to be believers as well. Despite so much stress put on his effect on others, the bishop never allowed Zhekhail to actively practice such efforts, as he was barred from speaking with other people, let alone being seen. The townspeople of Kukeri didn’t even know their bishop had a son, only the select few closest to him (those that had gone on that religious expedition to the Oghma Mountains).

During the years of childhood into young teenhood, Zhekhail remained in a cellar below the church grounds. His adoptive father would read the teachings of Seiros to him every day, so often that Zhekhail learned to recite it by heart, and would occasionally offer him other books to satisfy his curiosity and boredom. Zhekhail was able to listen to the sermons the bishop gave to the town’s believers above, reading and singing along with them. Father Fitzgerald would occasionally allow Zhekhail to roam the upper floors of the cathedral when no one else was present, and though he didn’t allow him to interact with other children, Zhekhail longed to befriend the ones he saw playing in the street just in front of the church. 

When indoors, Zhekhail would talk to the beetles and centipedes that occasionally skittered across the walls. When outdoors, the dragonflies and bees would flock to him, butterflies perched atop his green-haired head. Though unable to properly communicate with them, Zhekhail clearly had an aura to draw insects towards him, affectionate and trusting of him. Father Fitzgerald interpreted this as a further sign that he was some sort of saint in the making. The friendships he made with the bugs he encountered were the only friendships Zhekhail ever got to make.

As a young teen, it became harder and harder for Father Fitzgerald to keep Zhekhail’s existence a secret, as he kept sneaking out to explore aboveground and was occasionally spotted by churchgoers. Though he punished Zhekhail, he kept doing it, as his desperation for human connection and his curiosity of others only ever grew. In the final month of 1179, the bishop decided to take his child to the Archbishop of the Church of Seiros, Lady Rhea, feeling as though it was finally time to present his case to her on finding the next messiah.

At Garreg Mach Monastery, Edward Fitzgerald offered Zhekhail to her, seeing himself as a loyal servant to the goddess Sothis, and that he had gone as far as he could in conditioning the child to become a saintly figure. Shocked by the existence of another living Nabatean, especially one so young, Lady Rhea took Edward up on his offer to bring Zhekhail under her care. She presented the idea of enrolling Zhekhail at the Officers Academy, which would begin a new school year in a few months, as the first steps to socializing him and becoming used to life at the monastery. With the decision made, Father Fitzgerald returned to Kukeri with Zhekhail for a few months until the start of the Great Tree Moon.

Zhekhail was not made aware that, after arriving at Garreg Mach for the beginning of the school year, he would never see his adoptive father ever again, as he had handed over custody to Lady Rhea. From then on, he was under her exclusive watch. Rhea told Zhekhail to introduce himself as “Fitzgerald” to other students as it was a more socially acceptable name than his given Nabatean name. Believing in her good intentions, not questioning a single word, Fitzgerald agreed. As he was originally from Charon territory, Rhea decided to place him in the Blue Lion house.

Now excited to meet others his age and receive proper schooling, Fitzgerald gave little thought to the weight of his adoptive father’s absence and Rhea’s everpresent eyes on him. He’s clearly being manipulated and taken advantage of, but he’s too optimistic and blindly trusting to notice. All he cares about now is making friends and figuring out his place in the world.

i really need to figure out post-timeskip stuff for fitzgerald too, but that's a whole other can of worms. i think fitzgerald would start as an enemy on the crimson flower route as a church affiliate, but he can be persuaded to join based off of actions taken pre-timeskip. i want to offer him an out from rhea's influence. and that's not even mentioning all the three hopes stuff...i would totally have the opportunity to go buckwild with his path there. i think he would defect from the church on his own and go full medieval punk rock dancer on 'em. unsure whether he would be recruitable on every route, maybe excluding blue lions because of their ties to the church? i dunno yet.

i will share writing for all that stuff once i figure it out :3

FITZGERALD INFO #1

FIRST OF ALL i forgot to put this in the first post, his name is pronounced zheh-KAI-ehl. the "zh" sound is the same as the way the s is pronounced in "vision"/the "ж" is my favourite cyrillic letter. "zhekhail" is my silly made up slavic name based off of mikhail.

ANYWAY, CONTINUING ON,

[battry-acid]

fuck it, fitzgerald posting

i don't have anything but sketches and ideas for him right now, but this is my fe3h oc zhekhail fitzgerald !!!

simply put, he is a nabatean that was asleep for centuries and does not know he is a nabatean. zhekhail was his given nabatean name, and fitzgerald a family name from the bishop that adopted him. it is part of his character arc that he learns this while attending the officers academy, and he is either manipulated by or saved from rhea's influence. he's a member of the blue lions house as he originates from charon territory.

fitzgerald was raised by his adoptive father to be deeply religious, the bishop believing him to be a second coming of seiros. this, of course, isn't true. he's just a guy. having been barred from interacting with other children growing up, fitzgerald is incredibly excited to move to the academy to finally be able to befriend people his age. his main goal is to make friends, and he hasn't figured out much else past that.

his outfit purposefully takes inspiration from bits of seteth's and flayn's clothing! poofy sleeves and glove...things...like seteth, and a little bow in the back like flayn. i picture them being found family :]

more to come of this little fuck !
