Top 5 Spyro levels

Ohhhh, Spyro levels!

Artisans! My favourite starter levels!

Dragonfly Dojo. Possibly only level I like in Year of the Dragonfly.

Dragonfly Falls. One of the better levels in Heroes Tail.

Mushroom Forest in Legend of Spyro - I'm starting to see a pattern here.

Dragon Shores - Oh, good, the other one of the levels that isn't at the start.

Idk if this has been answered before, but what character inspired you to create Rohan?

i have talked about it a little bit on other sites, but not here i dont think....I LOVE SHARING MY INSPS

so i do have this pic that kinda shows characters/random elements that inspired rohan. most the actual shit about him is drawn from samurai champloo and vagabond tho

his background is based off jin from samurai champloo. jin's parents die and he is taken in by a dojo, where he trains constantly to compensate for his lack of family and structure. as a result, he is leagues above his peers, who ostracize and fear him. that's literally exactly what rohan is too, except i made rohan's PARENTS run the dojo he's in, and THEY make him train constantly with the reasoning that it will ensure rohan's future. i love themes of alienation in childhood, but i also love when characters are trapped in toxic family dynamics. jin grows into his role as a swordsman though he eventually must leave after he's forced to murder his master, but rohan resents his lack of choice and feels trapped, so despite his skill (that he doesn't appreciate until he comes to hisui) he yearns for a life where he isn't pressured.

personality wise, rohan is mostly based on soho takuan (vagabond), ryoji kaji (nge), and shunsui kyoraku (bleach). they are all easy-going but perceptive characters who, to varying degrees, can cut right into people when they need to. rohan is really similar to volo in some aspects as well, namely in terms of his tenacity. the whole point in originally creating rohan was to ponder the type of character that could realistically befriend someone that selfish and immature. i came to the conclusion over time that volo needs someone who will show him—the real him—a little care and empathy, someone older, wiser, and more mature; but it is imperative that that person must still go to war with volo on his level. and rohan will fight volo over and over until he dies, because that is what reaches volo the best: the determination to stop him. rohan knows this, even if volo doesn't recognize it himself.

other little elements of his character just kind of happened randomly.....such as catcher wrist wrappings to match volo's hisashi iwakuma pitch. he also wears brightly colored, patterned kimono usually typical of women's clothing bc i love ukiyo-e art, where a lot of the subjects are women, courtesans, and kabuki actors, all with intricate, patterned clothing. while the dragonfly print kimono is taken from PLA, most men in warring states/edo period japan typically would wear something more understated for everyday attire. if anyone had something to say about his clothes, he could just kick their ass i suppose lol

My sword

An iaito is an unsharpened blade (sharpened swords are called shinken), generally sandcast of aluminium-zinc alloy (as opposed to a forged carbon steel shinken). They are used primarily for the practice of Iaido. The length of the blade depends on the user's arm length and the style of Iaido they practice. The method of noto (re-sheathing of the blade) is a primary factor in Ryu-related sword length. My style, Muso Shinden Ryu, uses the - to my knowledge - longest blades because of sayabiki - how far back we are pulling the saya during nukitsuke and the start of noto. In a lot of schools/dojos, you aren't allowed to use a shinken in class until you're of a certain rank - third or fourth dan. Because shinken are so dangerous to use, iaito were created to facilitate the study of the art without lopping off body parts.

I acquired this sword from Taylor Sensei in Guelph in July of 2016. In so many ways it is not aesthetically what would I would have chosen had I the opportunity to get a custom sword made, but the first time I held it in the dojo, I knew this sword was mine. It felt right. For the detail-oriented - it's 2.45 shaku (about two and a half feet), with dragonfly menuki, vines around the fuchi, and Musashi tsuba.

I read somewhere that samurai used to name their swords. I haven't yet come up with a name for this iaito yet, but I figure that someday I'll just know what's right. I need to take some better photos of it. One of these days.

You can get swords with very ornate sword fittings. Mine are fairly simple, except for the dragonfly menuki (the fittings under the handle wrapping - they facilitate grip). Vines on the fuchi, a Musashi tsuba (hand guard), and a very simple tsuka-gashira (pommel).

Update 2020 05 14: Ever pick something up for the first time and just know it's yours? It wasn't until I was talking with a fellow iaidoka a few months ago that I truly noticed something about my sword.

This person uses a very inexpensive shinken despite his rank, and I'd asked him if he ever considered getting a different one. I wish I could recall exactly what he said, but it did make me think about the "life" marks on my sword. It wasn't until then that I really thought about the tarnish on the kashira, the wear on the ito/maki, the tiny nick in the blade where I accidentally hit one of my dojo mate's blades during class the first couple of weeks I had it. I'd noticed all these things before, but hadn't thought about them.

More significantly to me, though, was the spot on the tsuba worn shiny where my thumb has rested to hold it for the past three years. This sword is showing my life. I actually cannot comprehend acquiring another.

“Good work, Spyro. Use the stones to get to the Dojo. Remember Spyro, find the dragonflies before Ripto.”

Spyro begins his journey to find the missing dragonflies. He is off to Dragonfly Dojo, guided by the ferryman, Miyagi. Though... neither of them have any idea what’s happened to the other dragon elders at the dojo while they were gone. 

Their little orange and pink friend here is Ember (like from A Hero’s Tail! except not rlly); she tags along with Spyro because she’s completely lost in the Dragon Realms, and Spyro is the only person she can recognize... Though, Spyro does not recognize her. Miyagi suggests that Ember has amnesia, but Ember assures them both that she can remember everything QUITE clearly, it just all changed suddenly, leaving her behind. Enchanted Forest? Cutthroat Cove? Baked Alaska? Gnorcs?! None of it makes any sense to Spyro. Even so, Ember clearly needs his help, so he lets her follow him around. Besides, two dragons are better than one, right?

.... ok so I will admit I have been INCREDIBLY hyperfixated on Spyro: Enter The Dragonfly ever since I watched Mr. FO1′s documentary abt it LOL. I suppose I like it for the same reason a lot of people liked Crash Twinsanity-- there is a vast amount of cut content from the game and it’s RLLY interesting to me! So I think I might make a habit of drawing these ‘Spyro and Ember’ illustrations depicting ETD’s gameplay/world in... unconventional ways. I am also considering adding Flame from A Hero’s Tale to this story as well, but I feel like he has no reason to be here-- Ember was originally designed for ETD, Flame was not. But I find Flame interesting because he was redesigned to be more generic, just like Ember was. What would he have been like if they didn’t dumb him down like that?? Perhaps I can explore that...

Ember and Miyagi’s designs are ‘personalized’ in a way-- I wanted Ember to be orange like she was originally supposed to be, but the feathery wings, dark horns, and spots are all just stuff I added bc I thought it’d be cool. Miyagi, on the other hand, has a unique design because I wanted to differentiate him from Chow and Patton. Chow is probably the leader of Dragonfly Dojo because you meet him last, but Miyagi is the only dragon you can find in the hubworld... so I wanted him to feel kind of authoritative and wise, because Spyro was originally supposed to take runes to the dragon elders so they’d help him use them iirc. So I thought, hey, what if Miyagi knew about the runes? So as such with his more integral role in the story, he has the most dramatically different design. I like to think he, Chow, and Patton are brothers.

I am pretty excited abt this little ‘project’ of mine but I will admit. I am rlly NOT excited for whenever they get to Crop Circle Country because I dONT want to draw the fucky looking human npcs lol!! HELP? They are so freaky I dont like them

What about Toman Boys with a reader who knows/does karate. Not exactly like Red Dragonfly reader. Do you think they would try to convince the reader to quit, or would they encourage it?

Masterlist

‎

Received a surprisingly number of requests on this previously! Sorry it took so long to get back to yall :’) I’m trying my best

Ahh so I take this to mean that reader knows karate like Mikey? Absolutely they would convince you to quit, by force even if it comes down to it. Don't think it matters if you were a competitive fighter, that you had a black belt, that you insist that you could hold your own against other delinquents; if you couldn't beat Draken or Mikey, let alone Mitsuya or Baji then you simply weren't strong enough to do karate. And it doesn't matter one ounce to your Toman friends how much you protested that Mikey has literally never been defeated or that Baji can take 50 guys on his own, and that each and every single founder was a monster on in their own right, even in the violent world of gangs and delinquents.

It wasn't just about the unsightly bruises that marked your skin after each fight, or worse, having to watch you dislodge joints or get knocked unconscious. Kazutora would by far be the most affected by all this “unnecessary violence”, which coming form a delinquent such as himself is hilarious, but you can’t bring yourself to laugh at those watery eyes. More so the fact that one, with growing strength meant an increased chance that you didn’t need them to protect you anymore, two, that you were actively interacting with a community that was beyond their control, and three and most importantly - you were allowing others to leave a mark, their mark, on you. Unacceptable. The cons of karate were way more than the pros of allowing you to learn self-defence, even the more tolerant of the boys (Pah, Mitsuya and Draken) could clearly see that. Which means it was time to put a stop to this nonsense for good.

But the boys wouldn't make you promise or swear that if you couldn't beat them, you couldn't learn or practice anymore karate - oh no no. That would make them the enemies that took something you loved away from you, and the last thing these Toman boys wanted was to drive you away into the arms of someone else that might be more... supportive. No, your friends would probably go for the alternate route of making karate so miserable for you that you would willingly give it up of your own accord: they would offer to train you themselves. It wouldn’t even seem that far fetch an idea, Mikey’s family owning and running a dojo that he and Baji had been training at since young, and with the other four being strong enough to be your practice dummies despite knowing no karate themselves. All six boys would be more than happy to spar with you though, but let it be known that they wouldn’t be holding back as much as you originally thought, no matter how much the thought of hurting you on purpose weighed down Mitsuya, Draken, Baji and Pah, with Mikey and Kazutora feeling no such guilt. At least with them offering to be the ones training and sparring with you, they manage to convince you to pull out from that stupid-ass karate class with all those dangerous strangers - you were only safe with them.

Starts off as them landing hits that would leave you with …inconvenient bruises and injuries. The crook of your elbow would start to creak and hurt when you tried to bend with the number of kicks and punches you were catching there, same with your knee. Not only walking would become a chore, but cooking and even writing. And when that fails to convince you to give up your little lessons, Mikey and Kazutora are quick to escalate, hitting out with enough force to pop a join, then fracture a bone. Passes it off as an accident, a hit too hard - they had thought you had reached that level already, and with those teary eyes and dramatic waterworks, no doubt you believed them, and forgiveness quickly followed. After all, Mikey, Baji, Kazutora, they were all your beloved friends; they would never do something so horrendous to you on purpose would they?

Anything got to do with karate, they would make sure it becomes associated with inconvenience, pain and suffering. Trust me, it hurts them as much as it hurts you - Baji and Draken are always ready with ice packs, Pah with a cold drink and something light to eat, Kazutora with his waterworks, and Mitsuya brings you to the doctor or hospital whenever something happens. They don't like to see you suffer, but if that's what they need to make you understand that this isn't good for you, then its just temporary pains to keep you safe in the long run. After all, they didn't want you to get the idea that you could take someone on without their help after learning some rudimentary self defence, not with your fragile body that couldn't even take a hit from them.

And if you do ask to go back to your normal lessons, Mikey makes it a point to beat your entire karate class - instructor included - just to show you how weak they were in comparison, and of course deter them from taking you back. Best to just give it up before this boy considers breaking both of your legs to teach you a real lesson.

“How Did All This Happen?”- A Memoire by one Marinette Dupain-Cheng 5

hi. im back. after slightly longer than usual (my usual was like everyday, not happening again) i have returned. :) this update is also slightly longer than usual too but who complains about that?

Part 1 Part 2 Part 3 Part 4 Part 6

without further ado

Did Marinette Miss Her Own Wedding? I

Constantine was having a horrible time, as far as Marinette could tell. His phone kept ringing, which he was pointedly ignoring, and he looked more and more frustrated as he skimmed through one of his many grimoires. He was also very sober. Maybe that had something to do with it.

After Marinette’s little excursion out with Plagg the previous night, Constantine joined her and her grandfather and explained the lore behind the Renlings and what they were capable of. Marinette was already over it. It’s one thing to be magical guardians of one set magical gods, but animal spirits that transform the wielder into the respective animal is borderline ridiculous. Utterly ridiculous. And Constantine wants her to find them. Why not the Justice League? Or their team of proteges? Well, apparently, Constantine has a healthy distrust of the Justice League and magic they are unfamiliar with. Something about a mystical house no longer existing because somebody was suspicious. They fucked around and found out, as Plagg so eloquently put it. She didn’t know how she felt about aiding Constantine in his paranoia.

Anyways, Marinette was now Constantine’s go-to whenever he wanted to keep things away from the JL. She would have said no like a reasonable person, but she was at least getting more magical training and could actually use some of the spells in the Miraculous grimoire. Speaking of which, the grimoire that Constantine was hunching over was supposed to help them in finding the other Prodigiouses. The Kwamis were surprisingly unhelpful as they have never heard of the Prodigiouses or Renlings. 

After what could have been hours of grueling translating and spellwork, Constantine had finally figured out the location of the eight total Renlings and what their prodigiouses looked like. While Marinette and Master Fu began scheming appropriate retrieval plans, Constantine went to answer his many missed calls.

“What?!” Well that sounded concerning. Constantine looked ready to pull his hair out from scalp with tweezers. Whatever news he just received must have been awful for him to lose his composure like this. Good.

“You lot are planning to do what now?” Oh, was this JL business? Should Marinette be listening to this, albeit one-sided, conversation?

“And why do you all need to do this?” 

“Don’t give me that attitude. I’m working on something important.”

“Yes it is important, Zatanna. Please don’t let that group of League Juniors do this.”

“You even got me saying ‘please.’ No I can not tell you why”

“Well what do you mean you can’t trust me?!” This was starting to sound serious. The popcorn that Wayzz brought was also making this ten times more entertaining. 

“Zatanna-” Oh he got cut off. Serves him right.

“Fine, be that way.” Constantine forcefully ended the call and was pouting like a child. 

Marinette didn’t know if she should ask anything but she had the feeling it was related to the prodigiouses and tracking them. Were the League getting involved? It would explain his desperation to not have them interfere. 

“I can’t believe them.” Looks like Marinette didn’t have to make the decision after all. He was going to rant about it.

“What can’t you believe, Constantine?” Her grandfather appeared equally as curious.

“The Team are going to try and track down the prodigiouses. Luckily, they only think there are five rather than eight.” He paused to run his hands through his already disheveled hair. “I don’t know which five they’re tracking. Also, they probably know you have the Snake’s Fang.”

“Pardon?” Marinette doesn���t know what she would do if she was on the Justice League’s most wanted.

“Zatanna didn’t outright say it, but Kobra probably told them it was taken from him. That’s probably how they knew about the others too. Thanks for that.”

“First of all, I didn’t even know what these things were so don’t blame me. Second of all, this could have all been avoided if you just told them!” Marinette did not appreciate the blame being put on her for the League’s involvement. She wasn’t done ripping Constantine a new one yet either. “Especially considering the fact that you knew that their secondary team had a mission there. UN rules or not. But no! You wanted to keep all your magical secrets to yourself. So don’t blame me for the consequences of your own actions.” She was fuming at this point, probably overreacting, but she was tired of cleaning up after people who won’t so much as thank her. 

The ensuing silence was deafening and eyes that weren’t on Marinette were on Constantine. He looked rather surprised at Marinette’s show of spine, probably forgetting that she was born and raised in the League of Shadows. He never will again if he keeps pushing his luck. 

Fu cleared his throat, probably clogged from the awkward tension. “Well, now that that’s all dealt with, do you know what your next move is Constantine? Do we actively hinder the League for the sake of your own peace of mind or do you talk to them and work collaboratively with them?” 

Constantine, who was still doing his best fish impersonation since Marinette—no, Mei Fu—dragged him for everything he’s worth, tried to string together an answer. 

“I still think it’s best we don’t involve the Justice League with this. We should try to intervene and cut off their attempts of retrieving the prodigiouses.” He sounded like a child trying to convince their parents that they didn’t break the expensive vase. Very pitiful and very unconvincing. 

“Fine.” Pardon? Did her grandfather just agree? “We’ll help you keep the prodigiouses and the Renlings away from the Justice League.” Wow. Okay. So he’s just agreeing with him. Three guesses as to who will actually be the one to retrieve them. Wonderful.

Groaning with the weight of a thousand suns, Marinette also voiced her consent. The Kwamis were silent throughout this, not expressing their opinions. Except for Trixx, who had periodically rolled his eyes so hard Marinette would have been concerned he had popped a few blood vessels, if he had any. 

They spent the rest of the week planning and convincing her parents that she wasn’t in danger with her grandfather. They agreed that Marinette would retrieve the Dragon’s Claw first. Despite Brazil being closer, the Monkey’s tail would be harder to find in the dense forestry so they didn’t want to waste time on an extended search until much later. 

If you were to ask Marinette, the week was not enough to prepare. She made arrangements to stay with the Tsurugi family and convinced Kagami to help her in the mission. Her mother would be providing them with non-miraculous weapons as a back-up. Lady Tomoe was too understanding of her daughter being a magic-wielding superhero in Marinette’s opinion. Not one to look a gifted horse in the mouth, Marinette did not make any comments about the very impressive artillery of weapons. She chose a pair of double broadswords while Kagami stuck to a katana. Kagami also had the Dragon and the Ladybug prepared while Marinette stuck to the Tiger and Horse. Plagg didn’t want to miss out on the action and planned to tag along again. Wayzz made an off-handed comment about Plagg’s sixth sense for chaos and his recent desire to accompany Marinette on these missions. Overthinking whatever that was supposed to mean had cost Marinette six hours of sleep. 

While everything had been physically prepared, Marinette had yet to cope with the whole ‘going behind the backs of the Justice League because Constantine was paranoid’ thing. But this will not be the worst thing she has done. She also has the godsend, Kagami, to pull her out of any impending mental spirals. Now all that’s left is to actually get the Dragon’s Claw.

According to Constantine, the Dragon’s Claw was located inside the dojo of a martial arts master, O Sensei. Kagami, to be referred to as Tonbo, meaning Dragonfly, was to guard the perimeter for any individuals who could get in the way, while Marinette, codenamed Tigerlily with this combination of miraculouses, was to find the Dragon’s Claw, camouflaged by the tiger miraculous, and teleport them both back out. It was simple enough in planning and should be simple enough in execution. Even if the sensei of the dojo was to be made aware of their presence, They were expecting the element of surprise to give them an advantage. You know, outside of Marinette’s assassin training. So, yeah the plan was simple.

Except for the part where a group of the young Justice League heroes were already there negotiating with whom she assumed was O sensei. She recognized Kid Flash, Robin and Nightwing. The two women with them were unfamiliar. She also found the Dragon’s Claw in the sensei’s hand. She was positioned on a tree branch looking into a window in the room. If she timed this right, she could grab the necklace and portal out of the room to Tonbo and then portal back to the Tsurugi residence. That plan carries the risk of being seen but the pay-off should be worth it.

Poised to leap from the branch, Tigerlily steadied her breathing and prepared to call on the Horse’s Voyage. Still camouflaged, she jumped through the window and summoned the portal, about to grab for the necklace. Except she grabbed nothing and was suspended in the air. 

Who she knew now was Ms. Martian was using her telekinetic abilities to suspend her. Kid Flash sped his way over and quickly tied her, the contact breaking the camouflage charm. They must have figured she would appear at one of the locations eventually and planned a contingency plan for her appearance. The martian hasn’t read her mind yet, so maybe they thought she was non-hostile. That thought wouldn’t last long however as Tonbo emerged from the portal and, using the Flame Dragon, took down Ms. Martian. Tigerlily used the distraction to undo the bindings and get in a fighting stance. Nightwing and Robin were protecting O sensei while Kid Flash and the other woman charged at the two. 

Kid Flash was circling the two faster and tighter, corralling them together. Tigerlily drew for her broadswords and slashed the old floor boards. Kicking them in Kid Flash’s path, she knocked him off balance and thumped him the back of the head with the butt of her blade, knocking him down. Tonbo called for her Storm Dragon to subdue her opponent, who was also knocked down, then strung up both with the Ladybug yoyo. Tigerlily began a steady approach to the two batboys. She was ready to attack first but Nightwing got the upper hand. He drew his escrima sticks and swiped for Tigerlily’s head. She blocked with one sword and jump kicked to his chest, missing him entirely as he had crouched to sweep her legs from underneath her. Rolling out of the fall, Tigerlily slashed for his rising back but he intercepted with his other stick. He turned to face her and barrelled his full strength into her. They crashed into the nearby wall and at a standstill.

Tonbo was caught in a clash of katanas with Robin, neither side giving way to the other. If Tigerlily was more conscious of their fight than her own, she would have noticed familiar fighting techniques that were ingrained in her since birth. Alas, her attention was on the blue bird in front of her. Using his force that kept her against the wall, She double kicked him in the chest, forcing him away. Robin and Tonbo had broken away from each other and Tonbo aimed to stab Nightwing in the leg. Nonfatally of course, she wasn’t an ex-assassin as far as Tigerlily knew. Right? 

Anyways, her attack switched up the fight as now Tigerlily tried to dodge under Robin's incoming blade. Sliding on her knees, she reached to where O sensei was situated with the Dragon’s Claw. Frustrated with the night’s turn of events and forgetting all sense of pleasantries, Tigerlily tried to grab for the necklace. The business end of a katana was swiftly placed under her jaw. One wrong move meant game over.

“What do you want with the Dragon’s Claw?” Robin sounded like he was holding back from saying something. 

“An acquaintance of mine wishes for you all to not have it. I am merely doing him a favor, Tweety Bird.” Where did that nickname come from? She must have been internally catastrophizing more than she thought she was if she was actually trying to flirt her way out of this. Tonbo’s exasperation was made loud and clear with that answering sigh.

“Flattery gets you nowhere, Mei.” Robin’s arm twitched at that.

“Wait, you know her?” “You know him?” Nightwing’s and Tonbo’s voices overlapped but Tigerlily registered none of it as her ears were ringing with spiked emotions she thought she had buried years ago. Only a few people knew her by that name. Kagami, Chloe, Luka and Adrien were the only people outside of the League of Shadows who knew her by that name. Even then, there was only one person her age with the Shadows who knew her. But it couldn’t be him. He was supposed to be dead. There was no way in hell that the Boy Wonder holding a katana to her throat was—

“Damian?!”

What is it you like about Enter the Dragonfly's level concepts?

I mention Jurassic Jungle and Thieves' Den the most because those two are probably the most original of the bunch, but honestly? While the rest may be more obviously based on PS1 levels (Cloud 9 being similar to Cloud Spires, Dragonfly Dojo being similar to Bamboo Terrace, etc), I've always felt they still managed to set themselves apart, at least visually. I never considered them Sonic 4 levels of copy-and-paste, they always had their own identity IMO. And despite EtD being an unpolished early PS2-era game, and the areas themselves being overly large and empty, they still looked fairly nice regardless. (The character models, on the other hand...)

I'm not saying they ALL need to be given a second chance/spiritual successor in a hypothetical Spyro 4, but it'd be nice if some of them did.

Cirilo is very sweet and charismatic if he has no reason to be angry at you otherwise, he will break your neck, the reasons why is usually related to people hurting his family or abusing kids

He becomes an auror that specializes in investigating and dealing with cases of child abuse and neglect once Rakepick and R are dealt with

He and Lucia are very close and share the same drive to protect their loved ones no matter the costs to others, which is part of the reason why he got involved with R to protect his family, once he learned that R is not to be trusted he breaks all ties with them which officially happens once he is freed

Background/History

Lucia was born in Ariccia, Italy to Bianca and Simon, she is the second oldest. She spent much of her life in Italy until three of her grandparents were killed by death eaters and then her family moved to Britain hence her heavy accent

Lucia’s father taught her everything she knows about fighting which led to her physique and fueled her laser focused aim of protecting her family which is why she was so distraught when Cirilo went missing. For months she was basically inconsolable 

This changed when Lucia realized she can try get Cirilo back by learning everything he did in his investigations of the cursed vaults when she starts Hogwarts.

In her second year, she met Cassandra Cresswood when she decided to search the library on her own for information on the Vaults

She took Cassie to the Celestial Ball but much to Cassie’s disappointment as friends (Lucia didn’t want to jeopardize their friendship despite her having a crush on Cassie)

But later in the year, Cassie got fed up with Lucia and full out asked her out though they tried to keep it secretive

Year 5 was bittersweet for Lucia, on one hand she got her brother back and he decided to not abandon her but on the other hand Rakepick escaped after torturing Merula.

During her fifth year, Lucia also forged her magic gauntlets at  The Tower of The Regal Sunset Sea which is also her family’s ancestral home. Her gauntlets increase her speed and strength

Time for a lot of canon divergence  Lucia gave up on the cursed vault hunt, leaving it to Cirilo and everyone else but just in case she hired the Dark Sun Assassins, which is led by her extended family, to kill Rakepick just in case to calm her worries

In her sixth year, she very reluctantly came along with Ben and Merula to investigate rumours of an R meeting in the forbidden forest, this is where Rakepick tried to kill Ben and when Rowan tried to get in the way of Rakepick’s killing curse. Lucia pulled Rowan out of the way just in time and anger welled up inside her due to her remembering her helplessness when her grandparents died causing her to use the full power of her gauntlets ending up with Rakepick’s left arm being obliterated.  

After this is when she got her tattoo, it represents Cassie 

It is also in her sixth year that her relationship with Cassie is found out by the school when they are caught kissing before a quidditch match

In the final battle of the cursed Vaults when all of R tried to get the treasure of the final battle, Lucia joined in the battle and was the one who ended up killing Rakepick

After she graduates, she briefly becomes a wand maker and magizoologist before finally becoming a baker with Cassie

Three years after she graduates, she and Cassie get married

Four years after she graduates, she has her first kids, Alissa and Selene though they are carried by Cassie

When Voldemort returned she was openly defiant of him and joined the Order of the Phoenix. She also sheltered Muggleborns where she could and commonly was found dueling Death Eaters sent after her and her family alongside Cassie

She had Aurea a year before the battle of Hogwarts, this time she was the one who was pregnant

She was absent from the Battle of Hogwarts as she stayed behind to protect her family from any would be attackers while Cassie went to fight in the battle which she survived much to Lucia’s relief and the two were able to live their lives in peace

Personality

Lucia most of the time is very happy, always smiling in some way but this hides her extremely protective side for her loved ones and the anger that follows when her loved ones are hurt. She will never give up on anyone and will always do her best to help them.

However if anyone she cares about is hurt and she can’t get revenge either because the perpetrator is gone or whoever or whatever did it did so out of fear, she will be very distraught and blame herself even if she quite literally couldn’t have done anything and will shut herself away for days but if the perpetrator is not gone then she will be merciless and will kill them if they hurt her loved ones badly enough(Before Year 5, she would not readily kill).

She for the most part cannot handle people who are seemingly grumpy all the time and will intentionally avoid people like that.

She is very empathetic and tries to do her best to help her friends out when they are in bad places but she fails to take the same advice and apply it to herself and will fall into dark places easily if the signs aren’t noticed quick enough. 

Misc

She is very resistant to sleeping potions and charms to such an extent that by the time she’s in year 7 she is basically immune and requires extremely potent versions used on her for it to take proper effect

All her scars came from a magical accident when a spell she was trying to create backfired injuring her and Cassie

She is very proud of her heritage and will fight people if they insult it in her presence

She has Norse ancestors on her father’s side of the family though most of the traditions and practices from them have been lost in time

She is fluent in Italian, English and Scottish Gaelic, the latter of which she learned from Cassie

She for most of her life had a huge fear of heights which came from her fall, she overcame it with the help of her friends when she decided to watch Cassie’s quidditch matches

She is very physically affectionate and will hug all her friends without a thought and will always make it known that she cares about them 

When she first started Hogwarts her italian accent was very strong but over time it began to fade and once she graduates and moves in with Cassie, she starts unwittingly adopting a slight scottish accent which is tinged with her remaining italian accent

She is a very good singer, she taught herself and was naturally good from the onset. She knows many italian songs and lullabies

She is a black belt in Karate and despite her much less chaotic life after Hogwarts and the Second Wizarding War she maintains her strong AF physique

The scarf she wears was made by her late grandmother and she is rarely seen without it unless she is dueling seriously

She is named after her strongest ancestor Lucia Altera, a name which she lives up to.

She is capable of casting two of the unforgivable curses except for the killing curse

The names of her five daughters are; Alissa Dawn, Selene Abigail, Aurea Amara, Roxanna Amber, Rebecca Ciana and Hannah Chiara Firahel

— pairing; kouchou kanae x shinazugawa sanemi

— word count; 1.3 k

— summary; Kanae sighs. She’s been resting and recovering at his estate for about a week now, managing to steal away bits and pieces of time together with Sanemi, when he wasn’t busying himself with training corps members. Training takes up a lot of his time, and it’s only normal for him to have to leave. But they seem to exist outside of time here, just drifting along in a perfect state. ( Or: A Retelling of Chapter 132, in which Kanae lives. ) 

— read it on ao3

Today, Kanae wakes early.

She struggles to surface from sleep. Frightening dreams had buffeted her about all night, and she wakes still tired and fractious. She gropes about the futon next to her, only to find the sheets cool and empty.

Sanemi’s gone.

Kanae sighs. She’s been resting and recovering at his estate for about a week now, managing to steal away bits and pieces of time together with Sanemi, when he wasn’t busying himself with training corps members. Training takes up a lot of his time, and it’s only normal for him to have to leave. But they seem to exist outside of time here, just drifting along in a perfect state.

As she opens her eyes to the day, the strange and jumbled images of her dreams dissolve, and she sees with relief that the yukimi shoji are already open and the sun streams in. A pair of golden orioles perch in the branches of the tree outside; a blue dragonfly hovers against a blue sky.

Kanae pushes back the covers and stretches.

She’s supposed to be confined to bed rest, but she’s keen to see the new recruits. Prickly as ever, Sanemi’s complained about all of them, so much so that it feels like she knows them all personally.

So it’s with a smile that she picks out a pink komon kimono, emblazoned with golden butterflies, and brushes out and pins back her hair, already planning to make an appearance at the dojo.

Kanae ends up in the kitchen, making enough onigiri to feed an army. She delivers the food, and freshly-brewed mugi-cha to the dojo, where the recruits fall upon it ravenously, almost in tears. Knowing Sanemi, he’s likely been hard on them, so the respite from training is welcome.

“An angel.”

“A goddess.”

Kanae smiles meekly, a wash of pink overtaking her pale cheeks at the praise being heaped upon her. Her eyes dart around the dojo, but she’s unable to see – or hear – Sanemi. How odd. “Oh? Isn’t Sanemi here?”

“He left.” Munching noisily on an umeboshi onigiri, a recruit offers her a tentative answer. “Something about finding some garbage?”

Momentarily caught off guard, Kanae blinks. How unexpected. “Alright, I’ll go find him. I’ll come back later with medicine and more food!”

The recruits dissolve into tears. Privately, Kanae reminds herself to give Sanemi a lecture later.

Basket in hand once again, Kanae backs out of the dojo with a smile and a wave, and resumes her earlier objective of locating Sanemi.

Kanae glances at the gate, and debates leaving. Could he have gone outside? A mournful wail, followed by a louder, high-pitched scream catches her attention, bringing Kanae back to herself.

Her first instinct is to think of a demon attack, and she hurries with difficulty to the source of the sound, only to see a blond haired boy clinging to –

“Kamado Tanjirou?”

Kanae gives voice to her thoughts, and both of them glance at her. The blond – Zenitsu, Kanae thinks his name is – even stops wailing to stare at her, as though she’s taken the stars and hung them up for him.

“You’re the most beautiful thing I’ve seen since I came here,” He whispers on a choked sob, and inwardly, Kanae finds herself wondering if he’d hit his head during training. She resolves to give him, and the other recruits, a check-up later.

Her smile wavering ever so slightly in the face of his fanatical dedication, Kanae decides to focus her attention on the boy with the birthmark just above his eyebrow. “You’re Kamado Tanjirou, aren’t you? Shinobu’s told me so much about you!”

The boy brightens instantly, even with his friend currently latched onto him like an oversized barnacle. “You know Shinobu-san?”

“Shinobu’s my little sister, but I’m staying with Sanemi until my injuries heal!” Kanae finds herself responding to his pleasantness; Shinobu had nothing but nice things to say about Tanjirou in her letters, and Kanae can see why. “I’m Kouchou Kanae. It’s a pleasure to meet you both.”

“Ah, yes! I’m Kamado Tanjirou, and this is Zenitsu –”

“It’s not fair!” The boy, now confirmed to be Zenitsu, hangs his head dejectedly and moans, giving in to his despair. Kanae trades an anxious glance with Tanjirou, and bends on a hiss of pain to kneel beside him. The stitches along her stomach twinge in protest, but a quick glance to the front of her kimono tells her that they haven’t yet ripped. “Everyone has a wife! He’s going to kill me, and I haven’t even gotten married yet!”

Kanae’s face explodes in pink, matching her kimono. “We’re not – I’m not actually Sanemi’s wife yet –”

“Yet – Eep!”

A large, scarred hand wraps itself around Zenitsu’s head. It’s a hand that’s familiar and comforting to Kanae – she’s seen how gentle they can be as they push strands of hair out of her face, and how safe they make her feel when their owner holds her close.

But right now, he sounds furious.

“Choose. Go back to training or I slaughter your ass.”

Zenitsu’s next scream is blood-curling. If possible, he clings even tighter to Tanjirou, like he’s a life raft in the middle of a stormy ocean. Tanjirou’s comforting words have little effect; if anything, the blond’s screams only increase in volume until, losing the little patience that he never has enough of, Sanemi retaliates by knocking him out in one blow.

Frowning disapprovingly, Kanae makes her displeasure known. Her voice, as always, is gentle, but the hint of steel underneath is more than telling. “Sanemi! Don’t be so harsh on him!”  

“You should be resting.” He tells her savagely in response, but his hands are gentle as they help her to her feet.

“I’ve rested enough,” She replies, and grips onto his arm. Discreetly, Kanae tries to swipe away the beads of sweat on her forehead. “But I could be persuaded to rest more if you were less strict on the others. Is that acceptable?”

“Fine.” Sanemi turns, barks out an order to Tanjirou, still cradling his friend’s prone form. “Carry him!”

“Thank you very much,” Kanae adds for good measure, because someone has to, and Sanemi, she’s sure, would never.

Sanemi clicks his tongue, but seems more invested in ensuring that she doesn’t fall flat on her face as they walk back to the dojo. He steers her along beside him, and Kanae muffles a smile with the sleeve of her kimono, twining her fingers together with his.

Tanjirou, trailing along behind them, chooses a most opportune moment to pipe up, “Thank you for your guidance! I’ll be training with you starting today. I’ll be in your care!”

Already, Kanae finds herself warming towards this boy. She gifts him with a smile over her shoulder. “Of course. Let’s do our best!”

“Don’t get cocky, kid. I still haven’t accepted you.”

Kanae senses more barbed insults bubbling on the tip of his tongue, but she squeezes his hand as a warning and Sanemi falls silent. His displeasure, even though he holds it in place, is a liquid thing lashing about them all.

“That’s totally okay! I haven’t accepted you either!” They’re walking ahead, so she can’t see the expression on Tanjirou’s face, but it sounds as though he’s smiling. “You stabbed Nezuko, after all!”

Sanemi stutter-steps to a sudden halt, and Kanae finds herself forced to grind to a halt as well. Her amusement grows when she sees how Sanemi, uncharacteristically silent, can only stare as Tanjirou prances ahead of them

There’s a grudging admiration in his voice when he next speaks. “Kid’s got balls.”

Kanae pulls him onwards with a smile of her own and barely suppressed giggles. “Well, I happen to like him.”

“What? Why?”

“Aw, is someone jealous? Don’t be like that, Shinazugawa-kun!” With a grin, Kanae lightly swats at him.

“Kanae, I swear –”

“Come and catch me, Sanemi!”

Star vs The Forces of Evil: Attack on Earth Chapter 2

Chapter 2: A day on Earth (Disclaimer! I own nothing of SVTFOE) Comet was looking out into the sky. “Do I really deserve to be free after what I’ve done?” he asked himself. One of his servants opened the door. “I don’t mean to disturb you my prince, but you have received a letter from your cousin, Star Butterfly,” he said. Comet took the letter and read it. Comet; It has been almost a year since the events that happened with the Cosmic Star. I understand you probably won’t be able to forgive yourself for what you’ve done, but everyone on Echo Creek is more than willing to make amends. That’s why I convinced Marco’s Dojo master to invite you to his party. Please consider coming, because I care about you. Your cousin, Star Comet looked at the letter. Marco and Star were heading to the party at Dojo Sensei’s back yard. “I hope Dojo sensei likes my gift,” said Star. “I’m sure he will,” said Marco. It was a casual party. There was barbecue, skateboard ramps, and a ton of balloons. Star saw a magician. “Isn’t that the magician that you told me about?” asked Star, “The one that does magic trix?” “Its tricks Star, but yeah,” said Marco. Tom and Janna were having a good time. One of the party goers started to hit on her. “So hotness, you come here often,” he said. “Hey, lay off my girlfriend pal,” said Tom. He was heating up but Janna stopped him. “Let’s just go somewhere else,” she said. Crash was looking at the news. “Human arachnid and pink haired warrior help mayor Donald David Dirksen stop crime,” said Crash, “You don’t see that every day.” Star was busy watching the magician. 

“Relax Star, its all part of the act,” said Marco, “Nothing serious, we all got paid to play along.” “I know Marco, its just so strange,” said Star A portal opened. Comet Dragonfly appeared. “Comet!” said Star hugging him. He also brought a guest. “Marco?” she asked. “Marcia?” asked Marco. “Marcia?” asked Star. “She’s my cousin,” said Marco, “I haven’t seen her for years.” “And this must be Star,” said Marcia, “Good choice with Marco, he’s a keeper.” Marco started to blush. “Sooooo, how has Earth been since….” Said Comet. “Its been going good,” said Star. She kept noticing people starting to lose their joy. She had her wand ready. The magician was about to slice Dojo Sensei in half. “Star wait!” said Marco. She jumped on the stage. “Hold it right there!” said Star, “I know your secret!” The audience was confused. “Star what are you doing?” asked Dojo Sensei. “Ok, its true,” said the magician, “I’m not a real magician, I’m a false one.” He started showing them how he did most of his tricks. “I knew something wasn’t right!” said Dojo Sensei. “Not that you dumbass,” said Star, “I was talking about the joy sucking thing!!” “Oh that,” said the magician, “I just suck a bit of oy from people, it’s a harmless trick.” “The hell it is,” said Star, “You have no right to just take away somebody’s joy!” “Who cares?!” asked somebody, “You just ruined a magic show!” “What?” asked Star, “But he was the one stealing your joy!” “Well you’re the one who ruined our joy by making him explain how his tricks were done!” said the person. They all started to leave. “Are you people blind?” asked Crash, “Star just saved you all from having your joy sucked!” “Yeah, its not like she meant to ruin your talent show,” said Marcia, “Talk about ungrateful.” “C’mon Star, let’s get outta here,” said Marco. The next day, the gang was hanging at Marco’s pad. “Those morons don’t even realize that you just saved them,” said Crash. “Its ok Crash,” said Marco, “They’re just upset about some old magic show.” He then remembered something. “Hey Crash, can you meet me…. Outside,” he said as he winked at him. “Why?” asked Crash. “Just come on,” he said dragging him outside, “Star in about 10 minutes come out to the back porch.” “Ok….” Said Star, “Is it a surprise?” “You bet,” said Marco, “10 minutes.” 10 minutes later….. Star was heading outside. “Marco?” Asked Star, “Marco?” A ton of lights went on. “Surprise!” said everyone. “What’s going on?” asked Star, “What’s happening?!” “Happy Birthday Star!” said Marco. He kissed her. Star blushed and smiled. “You remembered?” asked Star. “Why would I forget my future wife’s birthday?” asked Marco. “This is gon be the best Birthday day you ever had gurl!” said Pony head flying around. All of Star’s friends from Mewni and Earth were there including her parents. “Comet had everything planned out,” said Tom, “Same with Janna.” “Well Tom helped,” said Janna, “A little.” Comet’s father was there as well. “IS that Uncle Orion?” asked Star. Orion saw her. “Is that my favorite niece?” he asked. Star ran up to him and gave him a hug. “Who’s the big dude?” asked Marco. “This is my Uncle Orion Dragonfly,” said Star, “He’s taught me about magic spells since I was very small.” “Nice to meet you young man,” said Orion, “Put her there.” They shook hands. “Hell of a grip,” he said. “Um thanks,” said Marco. “Don’t be imtimidated Marco,” said Star, “He’s a real nice guy, and he cares for Mewni just as much.” “So that’s where Comet gets it from,” said Marco. “Hey Star!” said a familiar voice. It was her two friends, Banjo and Kazooie. “How’d you guys get here?” asked Star, “I was worried you wouldn’t make it.” “Well thanks to Comet we made it just in time,” said Kazooie. Jak and River were having a drinking contest. Jak finished up his drink and slammed his cup on the ground. “ANOTHER!” he said. Moon and Kiera were looking at them. “Men,” they said in unison. Ludo was watching them. “Its time,” he said, “Our target; The book of Butterfly…..”
