#zai and caithe it is

OH BOY DO I!!!!

Several, and several that overlap and get messy and require uhhh a LOT more explaining than i think anyone is willing to read in one post. HOWEVER my most beloved ocxcanon is my very first ever gw2 character and canon commander Zaitinne and Caithe.

I could go absolutely insane rambling about them given enough time but to sum it up in cliff notes: Zaitinne’s first word upon awakening was Caithe’s name, following the canon tutorial, and they spent so much time together in the early beats of the story that it was natural for a bond to form between their shared Wild Hunt regarding dragons. Zaitinne is gentle but unyielding when she makes a decision, and her steadfast personality is very comforting to Caithe when she’s trying to get her life and her friends together for the Zhaitan campaign. Shit gets rocky for their friendship in Heart Of Thorns— but Aurene is the one who brings them to reconcile their friendship, and the time they spend together raising her is what leads to them properly falling in love.

Zaitinne is a Dawnbloom as well, and I’ve always found a lot of fun symbolism with that both in game, in related content (I’m looking at you, fear not this night) and just in the way I view them!! I described it very well to a friend once as ‘the last shadow of night falling for the first light of dawn, and relearning how to love and hope from her glow’

Also theyre goofy cat mom lesbians who know each other well enough to tease and had a secret wedding that wasnt even really planned, it just sort of happened (kasmeer was very upset when zaitinne tried to explain and demands that one day they renew their vows so everyone will be able to celebrate with them. Caithe is nor thrilled about the idea, but Zaitinne thinks it could be fun)

I don’t draw them very often but I always do story on Zaitinne, so i get shenanigans like this

Don’t mind Nakiya in the corner, i was making a joke about her partner being my friends commander who doesnt survive the void fight and the uh,,, slightly oblivious poor taste involved in this instance so soon after

Im very normal about Caithe and Zai they live rent free in my head and now they can be in your’s too :}
