The Seal and the Ravens

OC INTRODUCTION - Dala

“Let mercy take the place of justice, I only made up my mind to do it out of necessity.  My wife saw your forsythia from the window, and felt such a longing for it that she would have died if she had not got some to eat.” Then the enchantress allowed her anger to be softened, and said to him, “If the case be as you say, I will allow you to take away with you as much forsythia as you will, only I make one condition, you must give me the child which your wife will bring into the world.  It shall be well treated, and I will care for it like a mother.”

(Above is altered from the original tale and not written by me)

Dala is an enchantress, beautiful and mysterious, somewhat cruel. Above all else, lonely. She ventures between her enchanted garden, tending to her visitors and watching them grow, and the tower where her daughter, Thia, lives. She's been known to reward those who send hapless travellers to her garden with magical artefacts, such as magic mirrors.

okay so i have been in a redesigny sorta mood recently and I was telling my Dad about Dalas story, of all things that is what started me thinking about her non stop the past couple of days, I thought she deserved some proper care and attention considering the lasting impact she is supposed to have on my story.

i thought i'd talk a little about the design too because it was super fun! As much as i liked the unconventional design she used to have, the cool tones sorta clash with the warm personality I wanted to give her. I AM a fan of characters who act like they look (cinnamon roll that could kill you and so on) but that isnt the vibe I wanted for Dala.

I really want her to be this sort of radiating light and warmth that permeates everything it touches, like that kind of sunlight you can feel on your skin, and particularly the way you can feel it even after you've walked back under the shade. Similarly to how everybody who's met her still feels her burning presence, even after her death has faded into the past.

ANYWAY!!! her pinterest board is FULL of sunrise pics and sunlight filtering through curtains/trees ect, so i thought it would be nice to use those colours and give her that extra bit of warmth. AND THEN!!! I remembered that adorable adorable tumblr post by roychewtoy (the one in the image above) I thought adding those patterns would be a cool touch no matter what, as it also links back to the vibe i want to give her, but Togruta markings are an evolved form of camouflage so it isnt actually a particularly far fetched design for one haha.

Dala is relatively young when her story takes place (around the same age as Ahsoka is when we first met her) So i felt that if i advanced the markings like i did in the top right corner, they aged her a little too much. So i simplified most of them, but she keeps the dappled light on her face. I like to imagine she would gain more and more dapples as she aged, and the lines on her lekku would advance into the more watery dapple light look too :))

i did also begin working on her clothing, i will be revisiting it soon and i will probably reblog this with the finals at some point :D But for now here are a couple headpieces, and a little sketch of her padawan beads inspired by @furious-blueberry0! Mei is probably adding another bell hehe

Httyd, Next Gen.

IVE DONE IT, PEOPLE!

After days of writing, trying to find proper names, and (trying to) make it as accurate as possible, I present to you my version of the next generation of dragon riders in httyd (in this AU)!

*(Btw, the descriptions are from a series of stories im making, so it will contain a shit-ton of lore. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!)

Zephyr Haddock - The eldest of the Haddock children, and the future heir to Berk. She reflects her fathers sarcasticness and creativity. She rides a Stromcutter she named Skysplitter. She is also the unofficial leader of the next generation of Dragon Riders, and is willing to protect all of them, especially Nuffink, when they are in danger. She often feels pressured by this new role, due to the fact she was placed in it overnight, but is guided by Avery. She feels guilty and feels as if it is her fault that her parents, and Berk, are in the state they are in in the first place. She doesn't like to talk about it all that much.

Nuffink Haddock - The youngest of the Haddock children, and while not the heir, still the Chief’s son. Unlike Zephyr, he reflects his mother’s traits of being adventurous and brash. He rides a green Nadder named Buckwing. He tries to help Zephyr the best he can on Dragon’s Edge, but sometimes goofs off with the cousins and Eira. He doesn’t like hearing about Berk, because it reminds him of his parents and the condition they are in.

Scullnut Thorston-Jorgenson - The son of Snotlout and Tuffnut (fraternal mother was Ruffnut). He inherits both of his fathers’ chaotic personalities, while also reflecting their loyalty to their old team. He rides a Typhoomerang named Glowtorch. When he escaped from Berk, Thornut wasn’t on the best terms with his parents (there will be TONS of context on that later). He feels guilty about it, and often feels like they ended up in their condition because of him. He takes his guilt out on the other riders in various forms, like questioning Zephyr’s leading, disobeying Avery and running amok on Dragon’s Edge with the cousins, and often zoning out during combat lectures. (He just doesn’t know any other way to deal with it, and certainly is not the type to talk about his problems).

Runa Ingerman - The daughter of Ruffnut and Fishlegs. She inherited Ruffnut’s chaotic personality and Fishlegs’s love for dragons, so the result was a chaotic love for dragons (I seriously don’t know how that would work out). Runa rides Fogs and Gust, a Zippleback from the Hidden World. She and Scullnut are thicker than the hairiest yak on Berk, because I mean, they are cousins, after all. They often secretly go on little adventures around Dragon’s Edge, just to loosen up a little. They also try not to think of the state Berk, and their parents, are in, afraid of what might’ve happened to them.

Arne - The eldest child of Dagur and Mala, and the future heir of the Defenders of the Wing, and the Berserkers. He reflects his mother’s traits, being calm and collected in times of danger, and knowing when the right time is to strike. He rides a Thunderdrum he named Waves, and often helps Zephyr as second-in-command of the riders, and keeps everyone, especially Eira, in check. He also comforts the riders when they feel at their lowest, and assures them that they are going to defeat Zelda and get their islands and people back.

Eira - The youngest child of Dagur and Mala. She inherited her father’s red hair and wild personality, and his fighting skills as well. She rides a Triple Strike named Wildeye. She has a hobby of chasing some of the Night Terrors around Dragon’s Edge, along with the cousins (Runa and Scullnut). Sometimes even Nuffink joins them as well. But Eira does have a more serious side to her. She looks up to both of her parents (mostly her father), and refuses to believe that he fell to a crazy lady and her dragon. So, whenever someone mentions him or anything related to him, she goes quiet and isolates herself for the rest of the day.

*I'm sorry if this isn't accurate/is cringey. As I said before, I tried to make it as accurate as possible (for this AU).

For a padawan brought up in wartimes, Dala was never particularly good with her saber.

My Babies :,) There’s much more nuance to their characters but i think the contrast between Mei, who excels in the more offensive side of the force and her padawan, who never really understood why any of it needed to happen.. the star wars is getting emo again guys.

Now imagine Mei being the one left to wonder why any of it needed to happen! *bangs fist on table* AWFUL
