Quick drawing suggestion perhaps? Have you ever thought on how the Dandelions would look dressed like the foretellers? What animal they'd have?

this has been sitting in my ask box for so long, apologies I'm just answering it 😭I tried to make "cleaner" sketches but it was fighting me so here are my initial sketches (Skuld was hard to pin down an exact design for) I really had to think hard about this!!! I feel like there were "easy" choices but I wanted to put a little more thought into this (I ended up discussing this a lot with multiple people lol) so I ended up doing some research on animal symbolism,

SO anyway: Ephemera is a sheep, Skuld is a pegasus, Lauriam is an ox, Brain is a bat, Ven is a dove and Strelitzia is a praying mantis!

Art and thoughts below,

Ephemera was kind of a no brainer for me, I think both aesthetically and symbolically a sheep fits really well for him. I was thinking of Eph as a shepherd-like figure in the context of keyblade wielder history with how he essentially founded modern day keyblade wielding. I imagine his mask would be white and grey with gold and red accents.

Skuld was a toss up for me between a dragon, horse and pegasus but ended up on pegasus since in Norse mythology Skuld was a valkyrie. Her mask would be gray, black, gold and purple? Maybe pink?

Lauriam I was between a few animals and it ended up being a toss up between a tiger and an ox but decided on ox. I like both the animal for him and the representation of the ox in Christianity as it represents one of the four evanglists, which I think helps cements Lauriam as one of the intended dandelion leaders. With the way he was presented as such a red herring as the traitor I really like this more heavy handed symbolism like "no he's supposed to be here." I think his mask would be gray, white, and dark pink/magenta, maybe the eyes would be blue? It would be a nice accent lol

Brain was the one I thought had an "easy" pick to him (or maybe that's because of my friend having given him a raven mask, when I had decided Ven I didn't want to have 2 bird masks,) I also liked te idea of him having a bug, like a spider, but ended up on bat. Bats have been seen as a symbol of rebirth and luck and I think that suits him a lot with his role in khux! His mask would be black, gray, and purple, with some red eyes I think

Ventus was a hard one to decide on because I thought so many animals had fit him, I was thinking either a dog, rabbit, or phoenix but decided on a dove :) I wanted something that showed Ventus's innocent nature and with his heart being full of so much light, I thought a dove would be so perfect to show this kind of "purity" in his heart despite the Darkness. His mask would be white, gray, gold and green, kinda similar to Eph's

and ngl Strelitzia is the only one without so much thought put into it because like. Praying mantis is cool and sick and I always interpret Strelitzia as being a hashtag weird girl who likes weird shit. I know she's shown to be pretty sweet and kind but I've always had this soft spot for Strelitzia that kicks so much ass also lol her mask would be light green, white, and pink maybe

Another note on the Ephemera getting Chain of Memorized idea:

The culprits baiting Ephy into killing his former friends and allies by casting them as Player fallen and his Namine as Skuld.

Shhh it's okay the Darkness had taken them too, your child is all you have left and you will not lose your family again.
