Ashen Knight 15

(around a year after working for the Schnee family)

9yo Cinder: *surprised* We are going to Menagerie?

9yo Weiss: *excited* Yep! My father is going to attend some boring meetings about the dust trade there. Boring stuff, but think about the beach! And the food!

Cinder: *perplexed* That's nice and all, but wouldn't it be dangerous for your family to go there? You know, with the white fang and all?

Weiss: I... Uh... Hm... *Pensively* Well, the working conditions are improving a lot recently and the wage gaps are slowly but noticeably getting better between the workers, so i don't think they would hate us as much? I think? *Shaking her head dismissively* Your dad's going to be there, so nothing bad should happen. He's the Rusted Knight!

Cinder: *smirk* WAS the Rusted Knight. We can't call him that now that his armor's all pristine and shiny, right?

Weiss: So what, he's just the knight now? *Looking skeptical* That doesn't sound badass.

Cinder: *shrug* I don't have that problem, i can just call him dad.

Weiss: *pouting* I wish he was my dad. He always has time for you, while mine is never available. *Looking sad* He couldn't even come to the recital last week...

Cinder: ... *giving her friend a hug with a slight blush* You were the best... And i'm sure he wanted to be there.

Weiss: *reciprocating the hug, with a little smile* I know... And it's not like i can really blame him. *Sigh* But it's frustrating...

_ Meanwhile _

Jacques: *rolling his eyes, putting the letter in the fireplace* I can't leave Atlas soon enough.

RK: Another complaint from the council?

Jacques: *sigh* Indeed. *Smiling* Selling the CDC the rights to some of the mines gave me just enough to buy back the shares owned by the council. And with that out of the way, i can finally reopen trades with Menagerie! That should boost our profits AND help ease tension between humans and faunus. More profits mean i'll be able to give better working conditions to my workers which will diminish unhappiness, reducing the number of Grimm attacks and so on.

RK: *sigh* It's a shame you had to renounce having a seat at the council.

Jacques: Bha! To the devil with them! A bunch of corrupted assholes is what they are! *Sigh* And if it hadn't been of you, i'd probably be the same as them... *Shaking his head* Not probably... Certainly is more accurate.

Ashen Knight bonus 2

What if the Rusted Knight was a bit more unhinged?

RK: Cinder, I have conceived an idea most ingenious!

8yo Cinder: *waking up,* EH!? Whu!? *blinking* Who- *suspicious* How do you know my name?

RK: *taking a heroic pose* I am the rusted knight! *Point cinder with his finger,* and I've chosen you as my companion!

Cinder: *panicking* Are you kidnapping me!?

RK: *Laughing* Nonsense! I am merely taking you as my squire! Juniper is waiting for us!

Cinder: *blinking* ... You mean like in the book?

_ Outside _

Cinder: *seeing the real jackalope in front of her* ... Wow, so either i'm dreaming the weirdest dream ever or i'm dying.

RK: *laughing* Now, come along, young one! We must bring peace to this world!

Cinder: *looking at the old man* ... Are you insane?

RK: *wink* Just enough to make things interesting. *smile* And maybe you'll find a place in this world during our travel! *bring his hand to her height* What do you say?

Cinder: *Pensive* You do know that the owner is going to want me back, right?

RK: *smiling* Oh, i don't think we will have to worry about her.

Cinder: How can you be so sure?

RK: *point to her collar* She can try explaining that to the police, or just do as if you never existed. Also, *sound of an explosion* the hotel is on fire.

You've heard of "altering the shared hairstyles between NPCs to make them look more unique from each other", now get ready for "altering literally everything about them lmao"

DS2 NPCs are some of my favorites. I think they have tons of personality despite being probably the most varied and weird set of dudes in the whole series. So I've also done a few doodles for them (+ surprise Prowling Magus appearance because I love to think about the Aldia's Keep gang a lot lol)

Have some silly doodles too ahah

(Roenna is grumpy because she is short. It's canon btw)
