Believe it or not, Landia is technically a child… in a way.

Only someone truly pure of heart, such as an innocent child, can resist the temptations of the Master Crown. Because of this, following Halcandra’s fall, a young Landia was granted the role of watching over the crown, then left on the ravaged planet as the other survivors fled. Before they left, however, magic was used to grant her eternal youth, ensuring both that she’d never die and she’d never lose her innocence.

That’s why she looks like that. Actual dragons are much, much bigger, and certainly less chibi, but she never got the chance to grow.

Originally, she wasn’t four dragons— she was just one. But in her loneliness, eventually she became desperate for a friend. Because of this, the powerful magic within her granted her wish, splitting her into four and ensuring she’d never be alone again.

Now that the Master Crown is gone, she’s free to do whatever she’d like… although she’s not all that sure what that is. She never expected an opportunity like this.

Surprisingly, she’s not angry at Magolor. In fact, she quite likes the foolish kitty. As soon as he apologized and invited her to his super cool theme park it was pretty much immediately water under the bridge.

…I suppose it makes sense, considering her pure, untainted heart.
