Is it Mana ask hour? Hell yeah. What's Mana's favorite thing to do while transformed? Either form, or perhaps both 👀👀👀

ITS ALWAYS MANA ASK HOUR 💕 Send them whenever you want! I'm still interested in them, I just can't find the energy to draw them, or come up with ideas on my own anymore...

As for your question: Little dragon Mana loves curling up on peoples laps like a cat! They also love running around and sowing discord. Most Heroes enjoy it though, because Mana will willingly come and visit them. Basically, it convinces the Heroes that Mana doesn't just treat them like pawns to be used in battle. Big dragon Mana loves bathing in the sun and climbing to high spots, like the top of Askr castle. They also love being brushed whilst soaking up the sun. Sharena is often seen relaxing with them in the gardens, combing through their feathers and fluff with a brush! Its rather therapeutic for her, too.

Thanks for the ask!

Marth is not included because he's the OG. OP's propaganda below. Feel free to discuss your reasons in replies or reblogs.

Roy: Aside from Melee nostalgia, I personally cannot think of a reason to keep him. He was added a crunch development clone alongside the likes of Ganondorf and Falco. His game still hasn't left Japan, and there are way better GBA Fire Emblem reps out there (Hector, Lyn, and Ephraim come to mind). HIs portrayal in Smash also does not reflect gameplay or characterization in his game.

Ike: One of the most popular characters in the franchise. He's one of the few pure Fire Emblem swordsmen who isn't a Marth clone, and his backstory is very different from the others at the time of his release, being a mercenary instead of noble blood. However, his games sold poorly and have yet to see a rerelease.

Lucina: Fire Emblem Awakening was the game that saved the franchise. She's one of the few swordswomen in the Smash. The lack of tipper hitbox makes her easier for new players. But the lack of tipper is the only major change from Marth's moveset, nor does her personality reflect Marth's more refined movements.

Robin: Not only is he from Awakening, but he's one of the few mage/wizard/sorcerer fighters in Smash that feel as such. Breakable weapons is a gimmick that reflects the need for efficiency of weapon usage in Fire Emblem, but detrimental to their gameplay as it can take away basic necessities for a platform fighter.

Corrin: Another "early promo" character like Roy, and based around early concept arts like Greninja and Incineroar. Smash doesn't have many primary water users aside from the Pokémon, nor does it have dance fighters. Unfortunately, Fates is a very contested game with questionable writing, and I think that Azura fits the water dancer archetype far better. Nor does Corrin's moveset reflect anything from Fire Emblem aside from the Manaketes

Chrom: A highly requested after sitting out For 3DS/Wii U. Diverges somewhat more than the other clones and echo fighters. Though having multiple Awakening reps does lead to a bias similar to several Kanto Pokémon already in Smash. His animations in Ultimate aren't as refined as the other characters.

Byleth: They're from Three Houses, one of the most popular games in the franchise. They carry several weapons types including an axe, and lance, and a bow, which are major weapons in the franchise. The arguments against them come down to awful timing and context of Smash Ultimate, and of the various in-game avatar characters in Fire Emblem, they are next to Kiran and Mark as the blankest of slates.

quick lil doodle of my idea for a dragon form of (my) kiran, aka manakiran lol.

i wanted to make their body have the askran colors and be both a bit eastern and a bit western style of dragon, but still be a pretty simple design (since i’m probs gonna turn it into a fursuit later).

[m0rb1dspade]

A birthday piece for my s/o since that was yesterday. Drew his “kiran”sona, or the Default chara for FE Heroes with Tiki, his Fire emblem waifu.

[fountainstrangerart]

The feeling when Celene has technically been a teacher in a past life.

[iturbide]

What if baby!Grima in mankate form was summoned, looked at the Grimas and Chrom and was like "Mama! Papas!" And instead of our giant derpy Dragon following them they carried a stuffed toy form of their dragon self

well i personally have several points of panic associated with that

Considering the fact that Forneus doesn’t seem to have done any work with dragonstones himself (judging by Grima’s every appearance being in dragon form only, aside from the vessel possession in Awakening only), where did the baby get a dragonstone?  If they’re older, it implies they’re from an alternate timeline where Alm and Celica adopted the creation and Tiki gave them a dragonstone (either during Alm and Celica’s reign or later, after their deaths while the little dragons ran around Valentia); but if they’re younger, it implies they were summoned from another Askr where Kiran had adopted the baby. 

Regardless of relative age, I tend to think that the little manakete has a pretty substantial fear of anyone bigger than them (thanks to Forneus trying to kill them when they were newly “hatched”).  It takes them a long time to get comfortable with adults – and given that the Grimas and Chrom from the world they’re suddenly summoned to are effectively strangers (they may look similar, but no two Heroes are identical – just look at how many alts exist), they would be hiding and trying to find their parental/guardian figures rather than calling these similar-looking Heroes by such names. 

Chrom has never been a parental figure to the littlest Grima.  For the slightly older one, it’s Alm and Celica that would be Mama and Papa, and Tiki is their bestest friend; for the youngest one, Kiran would be the one they’re closest to along with big sister Fae-Fae, while the Grimas would be “Mama” and “Papa” exclusively because that’s how Fae addresses them.  Chrom, though, is more of a brother, especially considering that the relationship between him and the Grimas is strictly platonic (the Chroms are married in my Heroes canon, but not to any Grimas).  

Considering that manakete!Grima is technically a dragon, they couldn’t have one following them around, and likely wouldn’t be used to it.  The plushie is, however, adorable, and would almost certainly be something the baby needs for security in the absence of anyone they know. 

[blazing-emblem]

Oo random but kinda cool thought. What if, if we ever get Kiran as a unit, Kiran was a colorless manakete? Wouldn't make too much sense, but now I kinda want to draw my summoner as a manakete.

@mugendram0n Look you have a fan of your Manakete!Kiran.

And I guess @toilet–princess too!

Old scrapped concept of Erin, the elemental summoner.

---

Erin is arguably the one most due for a redesign, not just in her overall style, but especially in her clothes. I wanted her to have themes more leaning toward a more realized suit with Askran elements to it, rather than just "Kiran's robes but lazier", which is a theme I wanted to tackle for a while now, just been on and off about doing it. I also wanted to differenciate her more than Kyo, especially when they originally had subtle but noticeable differences, only for it to get lost when I kept accidentally but consistently giving said subtle details to Kyo instead. Whoops.

Character details under the cut.

---

Erin underwent the biggest shift in her character from the point she's introduced to Zenith to the point she's settled in and took up the mantle proudly as summoner. While she was originally summoned to Zenith under very unfortunate circumstances that left her deeply traumatized, meek, shy, and withdrawn in herself, for reasons, Ryoma and his then-berothed Camilla took an immediate shine to her as Ryoma stressed heavily to try to befriend and protect Erin as early and quickly as possible while Camilla served as somewhat of a buffer to keep Ryoma from getting too imposing and desperate enough to scare her off completely while otherwise trying to help reunite the two. And then Lif wound up dragged into the mess, first to "put Erin out of her misery" only to be freed of his indoctrination causing it, Hrid was eventually rescued, nursed to health, and stubbornly stayed put with them, and the rest was history. In truth, Ryoma was the most stubborn in orchestrating all this (whether intentionally in part, or unintentionally otherwise in cause and effect) because he and Lif both shared a past with a previous Erin of their original time, whom both failed horribly and wound up displaced in this new Zenith with another chance when time weirdly rolled back (this was found out to be the cause of Kamui and Lifonse in their own attempts to rescue Kyo as well, and led to all kinds of time-shift effects like Hrid being a crane beast unit, some characters surviving their initial deaths, fate changing in general, etc).

Due to Erin coming from a background of abuse, neglect and trauma, she initially started as distant, cautious, and refused to show much of herself at first under her original summoner robes. She was so withdrawn that it was initially not even known what her actual name was, or what to refer to her by, initially dubbing her "Kiran" for the sake of trying to connect with her (until Ryoma confirmed her name was Erin). However, as her supports helped show her the love and support that she went so long without, combined with building a safe space for her to find herself again, she gradually came out of her shell as she took time to explore herself some more. In the process, her supports, particularly Lif and Ryoma, all tried to better tutor her in combat and self-defense, all of which eventually leading her to finally find the confidence in herself to develop a much more confident and bold personality and presence as she eventually eased in stepping more into the spotlight and work in tandem with Sparrow to help support and back up the other summoners. Because of her experiences, she shares empathy and resolve that led her to befriend then-struggling summoners like Teru to give them a chance to recollect themselves and heal, and she adopted a more protective Big Sibling energy she shares with the way she dotes on the summoners, in large part inspired by the ways she herself was supported when she was originally so lost and scared initially.

Her powers are the closest to being the most in-tuned with Breidablik and the world of Zenith in comparison to other summoners who relied on either forces from their own homeworld, their own inherent powers independent of Breidablik, or creatures from other worlds. Though she develops powers in her own right, the root of what sparked them to develop primarily came initially from her tuning closely with her pair of Breidabliks (by sheer coincidence, she ends up also being the only one of the summoners with two of them). A lot of her powers revolve around themes related to the elemental blessings, of which her Breidabliks can fire rounds in varying intensities form harmless to nuke-esque related to any element she individually honed on at the time. As consequence to what eventually led to Lif's freedom from Hel's power and influence, she was also transformed into a manakete of pitifully small, laughably cutesy and weak-looking stature, resembling what is effectively an unusually colored winged kitten. Undaunted, the secret in learning to harness this form once again exploits her ties to the elemental blessings, where this kitten state is able to encase herself in a far larger and imposing dragon form composed of an element of choice, which is much more capable in direct combat when she doesn't otherwise remain in her original kitten form to exploit her tiny yet nimble physical abilities in other ways.

Which female Manakete character is romantically interested in male Manakete Kiran

Hmm.

It would probably be one of FEH original characters, if anyone. But, there aren't many Manaketes to pick from there outside of Nifl and Ymir.

Outside of that, I guess maybe Corrin...? Because I imagine her helping them a lot.

[af1899]

FEH - "The outside world...! So vast!" (+10 WIP Sophia mini-showcase and appreciation)

So, with the [Feh Pass] subscription, I've been auto battling as much as I could while doing whatever else and gather [Hero Feathers] to get all the [HM] I had yet to get, and it was absolutely worth it, although I've already spent like 300 out of my 900+ something [Stamina Bottles] in the [Forging Bonds] lmao, I have around 660 now.

But with the obtained [Hero Feathers] I merged up Tailtiu to +6 and...

Poggers

I'm happy to have finished merging Sophia at long last which makes of her my eleventh fully merged project soon after New Year Eir, her build is pretty much done but I'd be delighted to give her more premium stuff she can use in the future and make more builds, as well as giving her the remaining [Dragonflowers (I)] but I'm so close to fully boost Sonya and then I have to boost OG and Legendary Julia because of the post-[CYL 2021] update. 🥴

But her current build does wonders already, true, she's not impervious to nearly everything as it is, but I can give her some team support and the like, she's still great on her own.

Now, onto appreciation talk which includes describing her a little and explaining why I like her. I did this in one of my previous posts but it's time to review the info we have about her and expand on it. As always, feel free to read on (long read ahead)...

About Sophia

She's a half-dragon, half-human girl with the power of foresight, she's a priestess residing in Arcadia, a village that houses manaketes that survived one of the most vicious wars from past lore (The Scouring) located in the southwestern desertic region (Nabata) in Elibe, the continent on which the sixth and seventh Fire Emblem games take place in, she's a playable [Shaman] in the former and makes a minor appearance as a NPC near the end of the latter. Her class makes of her one of the two playable dark magic users in Fire Emblem: Sword of Seals (the other is the guy you're most likely to get while pulling on red stones in FEH, a.k.a. Raigh), and she gains access to basic staves after promoting to [Druid].

In her support convo with Niime, it's revealed that Sophia's father was human, meaning that her mother was a dragon, but neither's identity is ever known to the player. But despite this, she never transforms into a dragon, most likely because she never had her own stone to contain those powers. Being half-dragon also allows her to live much longer, but not as purebred manaketes/dragons.

She's fully self-aware of her heritage and doesn't let that bother her, she accepts both halves of herself which make of her a whole person.

She's somewhat important around the half of the game's duration as she helps a gravely injured Cecilia to at least tend to her wounds while waiting for Roy's army to rescue them as they were both thrown into a prison under Bern's control (the kingdom invading the other countries during the events of the game).

Sophia displays a shy and gentle personality, showing clear astonishmnet yet in a calm way when witnessing what the outside world is like and what it has to offer (beyond the village she's been living for around a century), this is most evidenced in her support dialogues with Igrene. She even feels similarly when wearing a new set of clothes, such as those of Embla in the World of Zenith, anytime after she joins the Order of Heroes.

«As long as I am with you... I can go anywhere...even a new country...»

― Sophia

She also mentions she was raised to avoid outsiders, and in the same aforementioned support convo, it's mentioned why.

«I understand what he's saying... The Dragons' powers could easily destroy entire countries. If the outsiders found out, they would surely fight over it. I've seen many conflicts like that in my life...»

― Igrene

And it's understandable why she feels that way after being raised by the elder of the village to do as told for decades. But in the end, she wants to work towards a world of peace where both dragons and humans live together without a war ever spreading out, and befriend other people, she's appreciative of other's kindness.

So... why do I like her?

Because she's purple-haired and most of her design has purple and I love purple soooooo much, that's all you need to know. :)

...Kidding kidding, that's not actually it, but it's in part true that I find her aesthetic pleasing, partially due to my passion for this color:

(Official artwork from FE6)

Her design is rather simple but so charming, clearly evidencing her shyness (see the way she holds her book and her facial expression), and feeling clean without going overboard on details.

Also, I find long, purple hair a rather rare yet dazzling sight, I always look at it in her artwork and remins me why I love her design.

True, her neck in Zaza's take on Sophia in Fire Emblem Heroes bothered me a little, mostly because her neck is a little long as seen above, but not as slim as long as Zaza has drawn her (it's still a decent artwork and the artist has made some really nice pieces later, look at Emmeryn), the style also felt a little off to me. But her Resplendent upgrade made Sophia look more cute and still being the one we know, doning a brand new attire.

(❶ Original by Zaza. | ❷ Resplendent by Miwabe Sakura)

But for me, it's pointless to be pretty if there's not a likeable personality behind the character in question, and Sophia has been proven to be really interesting, often a mysterious but shy girl, she's capable of kindness and finding comfort with outsiders like Kiran or Roy, when I see her, I always feel that she's so nice, never feeling bitterness towards any of her allies, just being shy due to how she's grown, but with a desire for friendship and peace pushing her forward, even slowly but surely, she's so lovely. 🥰

What's more, some of her quotes show she has a protective side, determined to stand up to help her allies but specially those she's close with, this eventually includes Kiran themselves.

Her voice in Fire Emblem Heroes is also really soothing, Wendee Lee has made such a delightful work giving new life to Sophia through her voice acting, there sure are differences between her work back in 2017 (Sophia is a launch unit, meaning she's been around ever since the game was live) and the work on the Resplendent in 2020, yet both are pretty consistent and equally pleasant to hear. But if I have to vouch for one or another, I give a point to the Resplendent voice acting, her voice can be heard with a little more depth and calmness to it than the original, which feels more natural.

And she's a dark magic practitioner but that doesn't make her evil at all, she's really pure actually. But I actually find dark magic most appealing out of any kind of weapon I have ever seen, the whole concept is cool, being always creepy and nefarious in nature, often portrayed in hues of black and dark purple.

And like, c'mon, this thing is amazing:

I wish that [Apocalypse] was her PRF weapon in Fire Emblem Heroes but neither Raigh nor Bramimond who's its OG owner got it and just got random PRFs instead.

Anyway, in short, I adore Sophia and it always makes me happy to turn a seemingly weak unit into a tough to crack cookie, love for favorites sure can take them far.

"And... as a unit?"

I've been trying her mainly against the foes she has advantage with, but I've been also trying her against red/blue units and sometimes she does a nice job holding them at bay, she has low speed even after all this investment but with buffing it's somewhat usable.

Yet I prefer to focus on her strengths, not weaknesses, and she stands as a fairly good magic tank, with the few extras she enjoys as a launch unit and full demote plus Resplendent skin since around the first weeks of the [Feh Pass].

I actually tried her here some time after posting this because I didn't notice the [Limited Hero Battle] for today requires you use FE6 units, so I went with my faves in the game and it was rather easy. 🙂 But it still took a little thinking.

"Who's the next +10 you have in mind?"

Hmm... actually gonna (at least try to) work on Lilina, another one of my Elibian favorites. I also have her Resplendent upgrade and could revamp her kit. 🤔

But she's currently +3 so her turn might take longer or someone's else may come before, Idk.

And then, hopefully someone I like out of the next potential Resplendent Heroes...!

Sothis, Discovering

Thanks for the support as always, @xpegasusuniverse! This was so fun to write, I hope you like it!

Summary: After being spontaneously summoned to Askrs alongside Byleth, Sothis is guided to Commander Anna’s office to receive a proper explanation. Or at least to help crack the mystery of both her existence and her unexpected summon. The House Leaders listen in to every word, of course.

Commission info HERE and HERE!

______________________________

Part 1 - Part 2

The walk to Commander Anna's office was mostly coated in silence, especially after Alfonse managed to drag Sharena away before she started making an even bigger fuss about it all.

Regardless, the Commander took a seat behind her desk as Kiran set out to enter the hidden door behind a bookshelf to fetch some documents -- apparently, only the two of them and the Crown Prince of Askr knew of that secret room as well as all that lay inside.

Byleth observed the Summoner scramble in, then kept watching the open door until he left once again, while Sothis stared at Anna in unquiet confusion.

Kiran knew which books to bring, purposely leaving out four of them -- they were blue, red, golden and silver-colored -- due to the sensitive content written inside. He brought out a large tome and two thinner volumes, though he left them out of the two Heroes' grasp, placing them in front of the Commander instead.

"I think a forced Summon had ever happened in the past, to be honest," Anna confessed as she browsed one of the thinner books. "If I weren't there, I don't think I would've believed."

"So you've explained to us that this world has many unique qualities." Sothis tapped on the armrest of her chair. "Is it the reason why I am tangible? If this lad there," she lifted her nose to Kiran, "knew who I was with just a glance, I can assume you all know how this is all virtually impossible. I do not have a body."

"And yet," Byleth poked Sothis' cheek, receiving a hiss and slap on the hand in response. "You're no less tangible than when you first arrived. You even fell on your behind." He commented, unfazed by the slap, simply smoothing it over with his other hand.

"Ugh. Do not keep reminding me of my ungracefulness. This is beside the point, besides." She turned from her mindmate to the askrian duo. "Are you telling me that your world is capable of gathering all that I am into a body? This should not be conceivable."

"Well, we've got all sorts of Heroes here, honestly. Some were derived by someone else's dream made into reality, so I wouldn't think too much into it if I were you -- if only to preserve your sanity." Anna replied with a tired sigh, clearly having had her share of racking her brain about this issue on more than one occasion. "What I'm concerned about is how Breidablik was able to pull you into Askr without being prompted to."

Sothis and Byleth exchanged glances. "She was living inside my head, if that helps. Maybe when I was summoned, she was pulled in, as well?"

Kiran was browsing the larger tome as they spoke, his hand placed over his chin. "Yeah, I also thought that was the case, so I came to look into this..." He then muttered something under his breath. "Commander, take a look at this." He bent over to show Anna the particular passage.

Once she read it, both of them raised their glances to Sothis, then their eyes fell to Byleth.

Anna rose from her seat. "I think we should speak with Sothis alone for now, Professor. If you would?" She gestured to the door behind the both of them, stealing a couple of confused glances from the both of them.

"Alright." Byleth ultimately concurred, patting Sothis' head once he was out of her reach and smirking once he heard her clicking her tongue in annoyance. He stepped out of the room only to find the three House Leaders loitering about, pretending not to look at the door.

Edelgard was even whistling.

Byleth raised his brow after he closed the door behind him. "What are all of you doing?"

"C'mon, Teach, move, move!" Claude whispered gravely, manhandling Byleth away from the door so he could glue his ear on it. Edelgard used her short height to shuffle under the Alliance lord, peeking into the keyhole while Dimitri covered his face with embarrassment and leaned on the door beside Claude.

Byleth now raised his nose. "I should ask again, but I suppose it's pretty obvious."

"F-forgive us, Professor. We were simply overcome with curiosity-"

"Shh, Dimitri! They're talking again." Edelgard slapped Dimitri's calf without taking her eye from the scene inside the keyhole, receiving Claude's snort right over her hair.

The Professor crossed his arms and switched his weight to another leg as he processed the silly scene in front of him. But it all only lasted a minute before he, too, positioned himself beside Dimitri to glue his ear into the door to listen in.

"First, I need to confirm something." Anna's muffled voice sounded from behind the door. "From what I can gather, you have no memories."

Sothis sighed, leaning more and more on the backrest. "Indeed; I have only a vague sense of self and a perpetual dread that follows my every waking hour."

Edelgard could see Kiran and Anna exchanging glances, obviously pondering on whether or not to disclose the information they had.

Dimitri and Byleth had to squint to concentrate to be able to listen to Kiran's mutterings, though Claude heard it mostly clearly.

"Should we tell her? I'm not sure at which point in time she came from, but it's something she'll know, anyway...."

"Yes, but we're never sure if once their ties to Askr are cut they'll retain their memories or just reset back into how they were before they were summoned." Anna replied in a tone just as low, under the scrutinized gaze of Sothis.

"Out with it, you two! If it is something in regards to who I am, I have the right to know!" She slammed her hands on the chair, crossing her legs over it to bend her body forward.

It wasn't very intimidating if one could be completely honest, but since the two of them held the knowledge of what was going to happen to her in the future, they felt doubly as bad for withholding the information.

"I'm gonna tell her, Commander." Kiran stepped up beside Anna, who simply sighed and nodded in compliance. "Sothis, did you know that you share the name with the goddess of your continent?"

Byleth and Sothis both gasped, though the three lords remained largely unmoved.

"What, you didn't know, Teach? You even called her by her name and everything."

"Was this common knowledge? How could I have not known about this?" Byleth looked from Dimitri to Claude (seeing as Edelgard was largely out of his point of view, crouching right under the Alliance house leader as she was) seeking an answer.

"It is rather blasphemous to refer to the goddess by her given name, so it's not really disclosed by word of the mouth." Dimitri replied quietly. "Since you weren't instructed in the Church's ways, it is no wonder you do not know, Professor."

"Which makes this a really interesting situation: Either this girl's parents were really ballsy to name her as The One Who Should Not Be Named," he joked with his tone, "or she's really the goddess incarnate, which, honestly, wouldn't be much out of place in this world."

"You mentioned that she was living inside your head just a few minutes ago, Professor," Edelgard commented from her quiet spot, "so we are to believe that she is, indeed, the goddess of Fódlan, are we not?"

Byleth pressed his lips into a thin line, not wanting to reveal Sothis' secrets, though also wanting to know them himself. "I suppose so. We both were looking for answers as the reason why she was stuck with me in the first place."

"Most interesting." Edelgard replied while Dimitri and Claude nodded.

From inside the room, Anna, Kiran and Sothis talked about her abilities -- how would she be able to contribute to Askr as a Hero? Especially since back in Fódlan, the most she could manage to do was lend her power to Byleth.

They discovered that, apart from looking like them, she also shared the draconic trait with the many manaketes that were summoned before her. Although she needed no stone to transform like most of them, she could, indeed, harness some power from within her soul AND forgotten memories to attack the enemy while being vulnerable to dragon-slaying weapons.

Edelgard nodded in a knowing way, making connections that flew over the three men's heads while adding a few more lines to her future plans. She then blinked once Sothis got up from her seat and looked at her straight in the eye.

"It seems we were caught." The princess sighed, shaking her head to get up.

"Did you honestly think," Sothis started talking to the door before opening, her previously muffled voice now fully reaching their ears, "that you were being conspicuous?! And to think YOU joined them as well, Byleth. Tsk." She walked past the youths to her mindmate, jabing him right between the ribs.

She might get used to this short height if it meant being close to so many weak points.

Byleth reacted with an 'oof', massaging the stricken spot with a pained face.

"Now, do the three of you have any other use apart from eavesdropping? Perhaps you could be so kind as to show us around? As you've heard, Commander Anna will still prepare our chambers so we have some time to kill."

"Honestly, I shine in both listening in and showing people around, so allow me, O Mighty One." Claude bowed playfully, receiving a kick in the shin in response.

"I might really like having a real body." Sothis snickered as she walked beside Byleth, leaving Claude to hop on one leg while massaging the other.

"You know, you really not what I imagined that the Goddess would look like." He taunted once again, managing to limp beside the group as they made their way out of the main building towards the training grounds.

Sothis crossed her arms in a childish manner, though that was all she could do inside that small frame of hers. "Oh?! And what IS a goddess supposed to look like, even if I WERE this one you're all talking about?!"

Edelgard snickered as she looked away while Dimitri scratched the back of his head. Claude guffawed, pointing towards a corner that led to the central garden.

"Like that, at the very least, c'mon."

Four pairs of eyes followed Claude's finger, finding themselves staring right at the most graceful being they have ever had the pleasure to see. She sat under a tree, her hair and scales fluttering in the wind as though she belonged perfectly in all that was nature and beauty. She shared some general traits with Sothis -- with what green hair and pointy ears -- but everything else was largely different.

They were looking at Mila.

Sothis puffed her cheeks, immediately stepping onto Claude's foot, then hunting his other foot as he ran backwards while cackling loudly. "What do you mean by that?! I do not see SUCH a difference between us?! We share the same traits!"

"HAH! Oh boy, I'm gonna LOVE if you're really the Goddess of Fódlan! The scandal, the drama!" Claude's laughter kept on getting louder and louder as Sothis failed to step on his foot again, their game of kitten and dog amusing the remaining trio.

Edelgard giggled under her hand. "Oh, you don't know the least of it..."

“Kiran... smells different. Not beorc, Tellian or other. Not laguz. Not branded. Why do they smell odd? Could their world really be that different? They smell... sweet, but not a sweet Mordecai knows - somewhat rancidly so, even. And of... metal, but not of iron...” The giant could not pinpoint them like he could nearly everyone else - Beorc, Laguz, Manakete, Beastkin, Dragon. All of them he knew. But Kiran... something was certainly different, and not just the cloak.

Meet Wary, Summoner of Askr!

Since I'm starting to get a lot of ocs, I wanted to introduce you to them...

Let's start with Wary!

She came to Askr at the age of 18.

Anna was surprised because she was expecting a great summoner, but Wary is 159 cm tall :')

Before she came to Askr, she lived a complicated life and despite the war in this world, she finds her life more enjoyable now.

Wary doesn't use any weapons. She is unable to use a sword, tome, axe or spear. Her only weapon is Breidablik (which she uses simply to summon heroes.)

Rank-S:

The young summoner fell almost immediately in love with the Prince of Askr, but she remained professional with him (even though she sometimes stared at him).

After the battle with Múspell, the two came much closer together~

Besides, Alfonse stayed with her when she was wounded during the battle.

Physics:

Wary has short white hair braided with a pretty gold ribbon.

She wears a orange stone around her neck which is the only reminder of her world.

She has big brown eyes.

Her Summoner outfit is the same as Kiran's, there's not really any difference.

Character:

Wary is rather playful and enthusiastic. She always smiles whether awkwardly, stupidly or even when she is sad. She can be very dumb sometimes, but she knows how to be serious when she has to be.

She is also very cuddly with Alfonse (but shhh).

Other facts:

Wary really likes to take inventory. She writes everything down in a notebook; the number of orbs she earned/spent + the total, hero feathers, crystals....

Originally, Wary was supposed to be a manakete, but the fact that they live a long time and that Alfonse is a human...it made my heart ache, so I gave up on the idea :')

Besides, her stone was supposed to help her transform.

(She had three children with Al, one prince and two princess~)

Never leave Wary in the kitchen, nerver.

(I love this drawing *cry*)

Queen Wary??? (Yeah, she's got her arm behind her back. And yes, old drawing, because I'm lazy)

Ever since Peony joined the Order, has any of the manaketes avoid her? It's just that since fairies are super effective against dragons, I'm sure that Peony understands why they hide from her. Likewise have you ever asked her to keep the Grimas in check, just to make sure they don't do anything to your lieges?

“Super effective? My word, good stranger, you have been spending far too much time with the Pokemon Trainer. Most of the Manaketes in our company have been thrilled to meet Peony and her people; they are both ageless tribes who have existed since the dawn of time, and encountering each other evidently makes the passage of time less painful for both of them.”

“That and the fact that many of our Manakete comrades are children by their race’s standards. The sheer amount of frolicking they have gotten up to with the Ljósálfar is frankly dizzying. At any given time, the heavens will roar with fiery bursts of laughter as fairy dust and ash rain down like some kind of bizarre confetti. *sigh* It has been giving Lady Lissa quite the bout of sneezes of late.”

“In any event, you needn’t worry about Grima, Duma, nor any of the other malevolent dragons among us; the Summoner’s Contract that binds us all to this world means that none of us are able nor allowed to harm each other… unless Kiran deems it so.”

“…Which is where Aether Raids come into play. It’s honestly quite frightful how competitive Summoners can get with one another.”

Every soul starts with their first life somewhere~
