#zaltanna the mirrormask

[steve-brules-rules]

Why did I spend an entire hour making this…..

[dyvimwhitehart]

so distraught by the end of novus i wrote about dyvim and zaltanna finding out that the wizard is now public enemy #1 across the spiral. now on A03!

comes with: dyvim and zaltanna bonding time, some very surface level spiral politics you shouldn't read too much into, sprinkles of dyvwiz/etc. and a marlebonian wanted poster!

bug wife, the beloved

[kimberly-earthfriend]

The Wizard and her companions <3

presenting, all (i think) mantis texture variants, plus a look at the mantis model and a zaltanna turn around sheet!

each mantis calls at least two textures. as seen in the last image, one texture handles most of the body, and the other handles the scythe, feet, skirt, and antennae. some mantises, such as zaltanna, call three textures: the third being for a different colored scythe. the only exception to this is the shadow palace statue, which only has one texture

please click on the pictures to get a better look! <3

So I’m playing Khrysalis finally. And. By only voice alone, I realized that she

Is also….

I’m…. 🫢

[soulhavens]

i love her so much

[101daysofwizardvacation]

so we all know that the prophecy in Wizard is actually part of a larger one made by Old Cob, and its not about morganthe

(like we all had the epiphany of being like "oh yea! "from the shadows i strike" is actually about old cob")

but i found this banger reddit post from a few years ago that recontextualizes some of the OTHER lines and yo. ITS SO COOL

"The Mirror will break- refers to Zaltanna the Mirrormask breaking her ties with the Umbra Legion and helping us defeat Morganthe

The Horn will call- refers to the horn used to call the Great Beast for us to cross the Starfall Sea

From the Shadows I strike- refers to Old Cob being released from the Black Hole and helping us fight through the Hive

And the skies will fall- refers to Morganthe’s death. She falls through space, and the dark skies/presence over Khrysalis fades."

YES!!!!!!!!!

- Amber Elvaira Ghostdust

Pronouns: She/Her Sexual Orientation: Bisexual Age: 25 (as of Wallaru, begins the Wizard City journey aged 15) Species: Demi-Primordial Being, appears human Height: 5'5"

Birthplace: The Crucible, Dragonspyre Current Residence: Raised in Wizard City, maintains a home there until the Arcanum offers her a room, though she rarely spends time there. Eventually moves to the Last Wood in Khrysalis. School(s) of Magic: Master Necromancer, learning Shadowmancy, as well as Storm weaving. Occupation: The Savior of the Spiral, Azure Shining One of Song, Scion of Bartleby, Divine Paradox... Beastmoon Captain, eventual Queen of the Burrowers and Death Scholar at the Arcanum. Wand of Choice: Onyx Burrower-crafted sword.

Parents/Family: Aleksandr Ghostdust (Drakerider Chief and Pyromancer, deceased), Esmé Mortscale (Professor of Death Magic at Dragonspyre Academy, deceased), Cyrus Drake (father figure) Close Friends: Mellori Ravenchild (sister-figure), Father Bat (brother-figure), Zaltanna the Mirrormask, Sparck Virga, James T. Pork, Officer Beans ... Suzie Gryphonbane (though they've drifted apart) Significant Other(s): Dyvim Whitehart (crush, future partner), Ethan Starwalker (ex-boyfriend, deceased), Malorn Ashthorn (close friend, one-sided crush on his side), Dasein/The Nothing (it's complicated, mostly one-sided on his side) Pet(s): Patch, her opossum, and Chillbane, her ghost pegasus/mount.

Positive Traits: Courageous, disciplined, kindhearted, tenacious, organized, a philomath Negative Traits: Aloof, withdrawn, emotionally unavailable, self-sacrificing, restless, awkward

(Abridged) Story: Born into a prominent Dragonspyrian family about three years before the summoning of the Dragon Titan. Her mother, Esmé, was visited by Grandmother Raven prior to her birth to alert her that her baby was uniquely powerful, though she provided little further information. As her last act of love for her daughter and the Spiral during the day of Dragonspyre's fall, Esmé threw the young Amber onto a Drake and sent the creature to Wizard City. She was found by Ambrose, who oversaw her upbringing via a series of foster homes until she was old enough to enroll in Ravenwood at age 15. Amber showed prowess in Necromancy prior to beginning her studies, and met with Professor Malistaire once prior to his exit, where he noted her skill. She excelled in her studies while faltering socially and quickly became Ambrose's errand-runner when other Ravenwood students failed to pacify the Wizard City streets. This is where she first learned to be a hero and abide by orders- and the rest is history.

She takes no pride in killing Malistaire, and being deemed a hero for doing so causes her deep ailing. Still, she takes solace in the knowledge that she has saved people and reconnected with her home world. When Morganthe appears as a threat, she and boyfriend (fellow Ravenwood student and Master Diviner) Ethan begin to quest together across the second arc to stop her. Being outsmarted in Azteca devastates her, and Ethan dies during the fall of Xibalba while attempting to evacuate citizens, rendering her useless with grief while the Council of Light dreams up a way to Khrysalis. She goes to Khrysalis with one goal- killing Morganthe, but its denizens (particularly Dyvim) teach her how to begin to love and reconnect with others again as she quests through the world.

The introduction to the Arcanum is good for Amber, a scholar at heart. Still, the growing rift between she and her Ravenwood mentors becomes clearer here, and she graduates to a new state of independence as the pedestal she's put Grandmother Raven on begins to crumble. Like with Dyvim, her relationships with Mellori, Bat, and more begin to save her- even as they start out rocky. She leaves Arc 3 not only as the Divine Paradox, but as a person wondering about who she is, what she wants, and if she'll ever be able to achieve it, as the Spiral will always need a savior- and she will always be that savior.

- Genevieve Soraya Duskblood

Pronouns: She/They Sexual Orientation: Bisexual Age: 23 (as of Wallaru, begins the Wizard City journey aged 13) Species: Half Qhat/Half Human, Demi-Primordial Being Height: 5'2"

Birthplace: Chelsea Court, Marleybone Current Residence: Lives with her parents at their estate in Marleybone before moving into the Arcanum full-time after Polaris. School(s) of Magic: Master Sorcerer/Myth Wizard, learning Shadowmancy. Occupation: The Savior of the Spiral, Azure Shining One of Song, Scion of Bartleby, Divine Paradox... Whirlyburly MVP, future unknown. Wand of Choice: Red licorice whip.

Parents/Family: Kareem Duskblood (Member of House Sayameez, explorer), Beatrice Glenplane (Port Aero Socialite), Penny Dreadful (cousin) Close Friends: Nora Weaver (questing partner, it's complicated), Ozzy/King Ozymandias, Sultana Sharzad, Mellori Ravenchild, James T. Pork Significant Other(s): Father Bat (boyfriend as of the end of Empyrea), Catrin Cheshire (fling), Sudri, son of Ymir (fling) Pet(s): Grim Bandit, her Ghulture (who she ate and then coughed up)

Positive Traits: Brave, creative, resilient, clever, ambitious, charismatic Negative Traits: Arrogant, volatile, stubborn, self-indulgent, impatient, spiteful

(Abridged) Story: Born in Marleybone to Mirage native Kareem Duskblood and his wife, Empyrean socialite Beatrice, Genevieve was raised as a proper young lady in the upper-crust social scene rather than a wizard. This all changed on the eve of her 13th birthday when the Duskbloods were visited by Merle Ambrose, headmaster of Ravenwood, who came bearing the news that he'd scried on his crystal ball that Genevieve was the fated Savior of the Spiral who possessed great magical ability. This excited her parents to no end, and they eagerly shipped her off to Wizard City. The spoiled Genevieve, however, wasn't as pleased- and tried everything to get sent home after being put in the Myth school. Despite her unwillingness to be there and her clashing with classmates, Genevieve proved to be uniquely talented when dropped onto the Wizard City streets and forced to act. To make sure she stayed true to her mission of tracking down Malistaire, she was paired with fellow classmate Nora Weaver, a Necromancer, for questing.

Nora and Genevieve butted heads all throughout the start of their mission, but reached an understanding after defeating Malistaire when Genevieve was unable to deliver the final blow. This experience forced her to go off to Wintertusk, alone, for some solitude and soul searching, where she meets Grandmother Raven and embraces a less posh side of herself. Upon landing in Celestia, she becomes deeply disillusioned with the Marlebonian fleet's operations, and begins to further work through her trauma associated with her home/upbringing. This ends up coinciding with the fall of Azteca, after which Genevieve once again attempts to quit, to no avail. When the girls discover Shadow magic in Khrysalis, Genevieve begins to behave more erratically/impulsively, fully shedding her proper upbringing and embracing her love of fighting. She gleefully slays Morganthe.

Upon learning she has been tricked by Grandfather Spider, Genevieve fully embraces her role as the Spiral's hero despite rising negative opinion of her throughout it due to her brashness and bloodlust. Visiting Mirage for the first time is deeply formative for her, as she is able to embrace her lineage in a way thoroughly frowned upon in Marleybone, growing into more of a wildcard (and much happier, much freer) along the way. She feels similarly at home in parts of Empyrea, and takes great pleasure in eventually becoming the Divine Paradox, demanding more respect from the Council of Light and the Arcanum in the process. At the end of this arc, she begins seeing the Bat, one of the few people able to earn her respect and her softer side.

khrysalis crew!! + orientations ♡

[joshlifeheart]

The thing is there's the prophecy Morganthe shares with us at the start of Celestia, where she went to learn Astral Magic, and in a Khrysalis side quest, it's later revealed that Grandfather Spider was the one to speak the prophecy.

It's quite detailed about some of the history of Spider and Raven, but also predicts his freedom. The thing is, he's vague enough about what will happen that it can apply to Morganthe or the wizard.

The mirror will break -Mirror Lake opening up or Zaltanna Mirrormask betraying Morgathe? The horn will call - The Horn of Hurican or the horn we play to summon the Great Beast to travel the Starfall Sea? From the Shadows I strike - Both Morganthe and the Wizard have learned shadow Magics And the sky will fall - Morganthe casting the Radiant Alcazar into the starfall sea? Her raining Xibalba onto Azteca? OR was it when she fell through the floor when trying to master the song of creation? That is the part Morganthe has and believe relevant to her, but there's a lot more, but not all of it can apply to us. Here is it in it's entirety.

> Sky and Land are danced as one, round the tree of magic’s shade, a thousand years, a thousand more, memories of love and fury fade. > Raven and Spider played across Sky, and battled throughout the Land. Spider fell into the deepest hole, locked away by Raven’s hand. > Spider roared and thrashed against the heavens, and finally fell into a sleep. His dreams made twisting Shadow things, sowing chaos to one day reap. > The Candle flickers across the Night. A Child sailing the Shadow Sea. The Spiral bends, and twists, and whirls, bringing the Chosen back to me. > The Mirror will break…the Horn will call. From the Shadows I strike, and the skies…will fall! > The Shadow Web hums and stretches beyond the stars, touching all the Spiral with Spider’s welcoming arms.

This prophecy does go further into drawing parallels between the wizard and Morganthe, but I'll let someone else answer those. There's a lot of people that have taken their crack at deciphering it, even back when it was fresh.

Thinking of Wizard101 again and how the only difference between Morganthe being groomed into a weapon powerful enough to end existence and The Wizard being groomed into essentially the same thing but under a different alignment is the people/forces doing the grooming. It really makes you wonder just what the hell would have happened if Merle hadn't cast Morganthe out and had instead tried to rehabilitate her when she was still young. Not saying the outcome would have been better, hell it could have been far far worse, but still... something I think about.
