i made celi’s dress in animal crossing............ after accidentally making it the wrong way around the first time; it’s supposed to be a white dress and black blouse.........

[heartswayed]

okay. with that absolute unit out of the way, paralogue time. 

paralogue title: hear my cry. 

required units: byleth, araceli. 

chapter bosses: anankos, seteth (crimson flower only), lilith (crimson flower only, if not recruited), dark bishop (affiliated with twsid, verdant wind or azure moon).

victory condition: anankos is slain.

loss condition: byleth or araceli are defeated.

rewards: hero’s relic: yato, battalion: touma sorcerers.

availabilty: varies upon route. in crimson flower, it is ONLY available after completing chapter 14, but before the end-of-month battle of chapter 15. in verdant wind or azure moon, it is available from chapters 18 to 21.

summary: after hearing a strange voice calling out to her for days on end, araceli is fed up and chooses to follow it in hopes of making it stop. much like byleth and sothis set off on their own to zanado, she travels to the leicester alliance’s touma territory in search of the voice. the house leader and their subordinate (so edelgard/hubert, dimitri/dedue, or claude/hilda) notice the strange behaviour and enlist byleth’s help in following-- something is clearly wrong here, and they do not want to let an ally wander into danger.

venturing into a network of underground caves, araceli discovers a corrupted nabataen waiting for her: anankos. she puts two and two together, realizing this is her true father as he pleads that she bring an end to his suffering, as she’s the only one who can strike him down. unfortunately for anankos, araceli and friends aren’t his only company...

in the crimson flower route, seteth, flayn, and rhea have also heard anankos’ cries, seteth and rhea having identified the voice as belonging to their nephew. unwilling to leave a fellow nabataen alone out there (and eager to add more firepower to her army), rhea gives the order to retrieve him and bring him to fhirdiad. 

in azure moon or verdant wind, those who slither in the dark decide the time is right to attempt to capture anankos once more.

upon anankos’ defeat he will regain his human form one last time and thank his daughter for bringing him peace at long last, commenting on how much she’s grown and telling her that he loves her, as well as where he hid the yato, before passing away in her arms. if lilith is present, she is part of this scene as well. araceli is devastated, but collects the yato and swears to make her true father proud.

[heartswayed]

araceli siding with embla willingly in heroes like xander does is still Good Shit and i live for it...

thanks to discussion with katya and pea i revamped araceli’s entire 3h verse to be much more black eagles aligned so have a quick post updating everything to include yuri as he has the crest of aubin as well! i was going to add a description of her paralogue as well, but this got incredibly long so that’s going to be its own separate post!

just note that any mentions of hubert and edelgard are katya’s and pea’s specifically!

the short version: araceli is abducted by garon at the age of five, submitted to twsid’s experimentation at age 13, and childhood friends with edelgard and hubert-- therefore she won’t abandon them so easily.

she will leave the party with edelgard and hubert in silver snow, but is recruitable in azure moon and verdant wind-- though unless dimitri has a b support or claude has a c+ support with her, she will not remain in the party after the timeskip.

if dimitri does not have a b support with her, she will not be able to stand feralmitri any longer and leave the party after gronder in azure moon, submitting to the empire as a prisoner of war.

if claude does not have a c+ support with her, she will not show up at all in verdant wind.

her motivations for following the kingdom or alliance are an effort to find a peaceful solution to the conflict that still benefits edelgard and hubert and if she’s still with byleth’s army she will openly grieve for them after their deaths.

i am so sorry this gets long, the backstory here is incredibly important to araceli’s paralogue! :’) if you want to skip to everything actually relevant to araceli, just ctrl+f to ‘in faerghus’! aubin, a member of nemesis’ band of thieves, murders the ice dragon and obtains his crest upon consumption of his blood. two relics are made from his bones: whatever yuri’s canon relic will be, and the yato. hydra, son of the ice dragon, chases after and defeats aubin in combat... but offers to spare him on the condition that aubin’s descendants hide and protect him evermore. aubin, desperate, agrees. they settle in what would become touma territory.

centuries pass, and the house of aubin splits; the half that left becoming yuri’s family, while the rest remained hidden in touma. hydra took the false name anankos and continued to watch over humanity, growing increasingly worried about the crest system and the church of seiros’ influence over fodlan, but not wanting to reveal himself just yet.

he would soon fall in love with the second daughter of house touma, mikoto, and have two children with her: araceli, born in imperial year 1163 on the 14th day of the verdant rain moon (august 14th), and lilith, born in imperial year 1164 on the 31st day of the wyvern moon (october 31st). araceli bore the major crest of aubin upon her inner right thigh, while lilith bore a minor one.

unfortunately for anankos, the survival of a full-blooded nabataen did not escape the notice of those who slither in the dark. upon learning that a group of shadowy figures were spotted in the territory, heading for the mansion, anankos feared for the worst. he bid that mikoto take their infant daughters and flee to safety-- and to never tell them about him or their heritage, lest the enemy discover and track them down. mikoto complied, bidding her husband and family a tearful farewell and escaping to faerghus.

anankos, meanwhile, took the yato and fled into a series of hidden underground caves. when those who slither in the dark followed him in there, he used far too much power defending himself from his assailants and degenerated-- much like rhea does at the end of silver snow. with enough clarity of mind left to know what he’d become, anankos sealed the entrance to the network of caves. if he had his way he would stay there, alone with the corpses of his enemies, for eternity.

in faerghus, mikoto and her daughters had been taken in by sumeragi and ikona shirasagi, a prominent military family whose territory sits on the border between the kingdom and the adrestian empire. they’re accepted into the family, and the touma daughters grow up happily alongside stepsiblings ryouma, hinoka, takumi, and sakura.

in imperial year 1168 sumeragi’s longtime rival from across the border, garon von krakenburg, learned of the presence of a child possessing a major crest in house aubin. while already a prominent noble military family in adrestia, garon was power hungry and determined to rise through the ranks; he enlisted the help of house vestra to abduct the child and pass them off as his own “recently legitimized” bastard child, with the plan to marry them off to an incredibly influential family and tie his family to theirs. ideally this would be house vestra, as they are closest to the hresvelgs. with his heir crestless, marquis vestra was very open to the idea. 

araceli was abducted as planned, and raised alongside garon’s own crestless children: xander, camilla, leo, and elise. she would closely befriend the children of house vestra, including hubert, as well as hubert’s new liege: a princess of the adrestian empire, edelgard von hresvelg.

in imperial year 1176, a child was born to house vestra bearing the minor crest of macuil. concerned about the state of the arrangement between himself and marquis vestra and having heard of a group performing certain experiments from the latter, garon sought a meeting with those who slither in the dark. eager to get their hands on the blood of a bearer of aubin, those who slither eagerly took araceli off garon’s hands to experiment upon her. she would spend one full year locked in the basements of house krakenburg with tws’ mages, and the minor crest of dominic surfaced within her with surprisingly few problems-- though the costs on her part were severe: an incredibly shortened lifespan, much of her constitution and physical strength being sapped. the shock and stress of the situation turned her hair stark white, and upon recovery she would soon discover an increased magical prowess.

the procedure complete, garon set about showing araceli off to potential other suitors-- most unsavoury but high in ranking. in the end, an arrangement between house krakenburg and house vestra was reached: araceli would marry marquis vestra’s eldest son as expected, though hubert insisted on any wedding preparations waiting until after he completed his education at the officer’s academy. while hubert had absolutely no interest in marrying his childhood friend, the situation benefited him greatly: his father would not be showing him off to noble women in hopes of securing a match, therefore his time would not be wasted. (with what he and edelgard were planning, he would also never finish his education.)

in imperial year 1180, araceli attends the officer’s academy and is placed in the black eagle house. she is reunited with her younger sister lilith, and depending on the actions of byleth, her role in the conflict will change-- by default, she will side with edelgard and hubert. 

regardless of what her path will be, she will play a part in hubert’s assassination of garon von krakenburg.

like this for lear to identify your muse-- //smacked hard

fact: helena will love her son’s significant other no matter who they are, but will probably want to spar with them-- especially if they’re a guy. she’ll approve, she’s just a Rowdy Fight Girl and wants to test their mettle. she will also concede to battles of wit like chess or backgammon if claude’s s/o is a nerd not the type to enjoy fighting.

hasan will also likely want to fight, but only if claude brings home a man. like his mistress, he’s just as accepting of claude’s s/o-- the love of his life ran away from a marriage she would’ve been miserable in and endured countless prejudices and racism to find happiness. claude is entitled to his happy ending, too. they’ll work something out if need be.

finally awake and really wanting to plot an ‘alliance of the three houses’ verse because quite frankly the kids have dealt with enough and deserve it

obviously there are spoilers but the game’s been out for a month, i’m not readmore-ing

i have no idea how this would kick off, honestly, but i imagine it’d be accessible from any route except the church of seiros one since defeating rhea is endgame?? maybe dialogue choices you’d make in the reunion with edelgard/dimitri/claude locks you into this route, otherwise It’s War? so you and your starter lord could travel to the other two regions, likely fight your way through to get to the other leaders, and they’d join you? and along the way the truth of the tragedy of duscur and those who slither in the dark’s role in it are revealed, making it worth your time to take them out while you’re at it? hmmm

final boss would probably be either nemesis/those who slither in the dark or rhea... most likely rhea, which then leads up to twsitd unleashing nemesis now that seiros is out of the picture (either actually dead or severely weakened, either way she’ll no longer be the archbishop by the end), but they’ve done something to Make Him Even More Powerful so it pays off that there are 3 armies working together. maybe an attempt to give a “human” the full scope of a manakete’s powers??? so you’ve got this massive berserk “divine” dragon on a rampage..

i also remember seeing this art on twitter of an au where byleth’s actually kidnapped by rhea so pls imagine that happening near the end and the three lords have to rescue them, which leads to getting byleth back in the party and the rhea fight

in the end i’m thinking dimitri takes the throne of a unified kingdom with edelgard continuing her work to dismantle the crest system (given she’s, uh... not got enough time left to rule herself, alternatively dimitri will take over when she dies) while claude returns home to improve relations with fodlan... and byleth becomes the new archbishop again idk
