Iris is one of 3 younger-half sisters of Kalai,. They share the same mother but different fathers and there is a roughly 6 year age difference between them. Post KH3/Melody of Memory, she rules Radiant Garden by Ienzo’s side and is an intellectual prodigy with a heart of gold.

~~~

💙Name💙

Iris is named after the rainbow goddess of the same name. In Greek mythology, she is the link between mortals and the divine and the messenger to the gods. She is the female counterpart of Hermes, the Greek god I most associate with Ienzo.

~~~

💙Background💙

Iris is the second daughter and third child of Lord Rowan, governor of one of the six provinces of Radiant Garden, and Lady Ilise, a niece of Ansem the Wise. As a child, she wanted for nothing and was well-loved by her parents. Out of all her siblings, she took after her mother the most in regards to appearance and personality.

Being a legitimate child, she was always treated far better than her oldest sister Kalai. Her father’s resentment of Kalai was passed on to his two oldest children, but not Iris, though she never questioned it out of fear of angering him. Occasionally she would join Lucia and Lucio in taunting Kalai, but her heart was never in it and deep down the unfair treatment Kalai received galled her. But being a child, there was little she could do and it is for this perceived indifference that Iris holds a great deal of remorse.

When Kalai is sent away, even though she is still very young, Iris felt sad that she could have had a friend in her oldest sister but now never would. The only person she became close to was Adelen, her younger sister.

Pre KH3 ~ Sins of her Father

Lady Ilise dies a few months before the fall of Radiant Garden. When her father refuses her request to allow Kalai to attend the funeral, she finally learns the truth about why Kalai was mistreated in childhood. It was at this moment that Iris became determined to never be as terrible as her father or older siblings.

When Heartless attack their home and their father is killed, Iris and Adelen are separated from Lucio and Lucia for some time. They arrive in Traverse Town but eventually do find their way home when Radiant Garden is revived. With their father gone, Lucio has taken over their father’s position, and once again Iris suggests bringing Kalai home. He refuses and they have a falling out. She decides to leave home with Adelen and go to The Capital of Light to reconcile with their outcasted oldest sister and maybe find a better life.

Post KH3 and Beyond, Irissa the Beloved

Iris and Adelen quickly win the hearts of all in the castle. Iris becomes a student of the heart and her intellectual prowess makes her an immediate favorite of Even and Ienzo. She assists the apprentices in recreating Namine’s heart and eventually develops a new kind of gummiphone that can be used to communicate between the realms of light and darkness.

The only one who does not take to her right away is Kalai. Because of the cruelty she endured in the home of her stepfather, she is naturally wary of Iris and Adelen when they return to her life. However, in time, the three become very close, as close as they always hoped they would be.

Eventually, in the not so distant future, Iris and Ienzo are married. As the wife of the new Sage King, Iris is at his side as First Lady of Radiant Garden. They have a daughter named Athena and a son named Cyrus.

💙Appearance and Personality💙

Despite having a privileged upbringing, Iris is an unspoiled, down to earth young lady with hatred for injustice. She is very thoughtful and has a tendency to question everything. She frequently questions the idea that some people can be considered better than others solely based on their birth.

Despite her open-minded nature, Iris is also very insecure and often afraid to speak up for herself even when she knows it's right. This often resulted in her being pushed around by her older siblings and bullied into doing things she didn’t want to.

As she ages her questioning nature increases and she becomes more confident in speaking up for what she believes in though she still has her moments of insecurity, particularly when she feels her thoughts are in conflict with the things around her. Her hobbies include reading, art (particularly sculpturing), stargazing, and learning for learning’s sake. When she’s not studying or conducting research, Iris co-runs a popular vlog about life in the capital with Adelen and another fellow apprentice named Rosaire. She loves cats and owns a Necho Cat spirit named Lilly. Her favorite season is winter.

Iris stands about 5ft5 and is her mother’s spitting image with shoulder-length auburn hair and bright blue eyes. Her hair is usually worn in a bun and she occasionally wears glasses.

Iris’ story begins when she is 16 years old and in the current timeline, she is 19.

~~~

💙Relationships💙

Even ~ As she grows older, Iris shows an excellent aptitude for the scientific arts that often caused her to be teased by her classmates and siblings. Even on the other hand is thrilled with her and quickly takes her under his wing. She flourishes under him and he’s the one who teaches her ice magic. When she turns 18, he crafts her a special archers bow that is called Frozen Majesty.

Dilan ~ His initial aversion to Iris and Adelen is solely due to fear that they will mistreat Kalai. But when it quickly becomes clear what their true intentions are, his mood softens. Iris has great respect for him because he is Kalai’s father and the man her mother truly loved and wished she could marry. Dilan in turn treats her with great kindness that slowly but surely becomes fatherly.

Ienzo ~ Iris’ attraction to Ienzo is almost immediate and it only increases when she realizes he has a scholarly nature very similar to her and does not make fun of her intelligence. But poor Ienzo holds a great deal of remorse for the things he did as Zexion, especially how he treated Kalai. And he’s terrified of possibly hurting Iris in a similar way. In many ways, he and Iris are very similar in their feelings of guilt surrounding the past and their desire to make the future better. He finds her calm personality endearing and they become very close. Kalai can see her sister’s attachment and encourages their relationship to help Ienzo reconcile his heartbreak where she is concerned. She and Adelen go out of their way to get them together often with adorably comedic results. But there is honestly no need for outside forces. Ienzo and Iris are clearly made for each other.

Rosaire (minor OC) ~ Iris’ best friend. A fellow apprentice with a keen interest in history who joins the castle after Radiant Garden’s restoration. She was formerly Iris’classmate and came from a similar noble background. Her older sister governs another of the six provinces of Radiant Garden (their parents died when Radiant Garden fell to darkness). Rosaire is currently working with a group of other junior researchers under Lauriam and Elrena, searching for a way to find Strelitzia and she also co-runs a popular vlog about life in the capital with Iris and Adelen.

Do You Want to Train a Dragon? | Post-HTTYD3 One-shot

I wrote another Haddock-family one-shot! This one takes place before my other one-shot, Chasing the Western Wind, and this time around we meet Zephyr and Nuffink when they are 16 and 14. What they are up to? Well, the kind of stupid thing teenagers tend to be up to.

The title and opening paragraph are obviously inspired by Frozen.

Do You Want to Train a Dragon?

“Zeph. Zeph, wake up!”

Lazily, Zephyr Haddock opened her eyes, finding her younger brother sitting on her bed, on top of her, with nothing but a candle in his hand. His blonde hair looked messed up, as if he’d only just jumped out of bed himself. Only the small braids their mom had made in it were still somewhat intact. His green eyes had a sense of urgency in them as he looked down at her.

“Nuff, what in Thor’s name are you doing?” she moaned.

“Listen,” he told her, holding up his finger.

She furrowed her brows, taking in the sounds around them. It didn’t take long before she noticed what her brother was talking about. It came from downstairs.

“Oh gods. Dad’s snoring like a Thunderdrum again,” she moaned, pulling the covers over her ears. She usually slept through it just fine, but if she was ever unlucky enough to wake up in the middle of the night, falling back asleep was a challenge on its own.

Nuffink didn’t give her any rest though, pulling her blanket back down. “Which means?”

“Mom and dad have been drinking with their friends, probably,” she added.

“So dad’s completely out, and mom likely won’t hear anything,” Nuffink smiled, almost jumping up on her bed.

“What are you getting at?” she frowned, trying to figure out what was so urgent her brother had woken her.

Nuffink rolled his eyes. “Geez, sis, I thought you were the clever one. This was your plan, after all.”

A smile appeared on her face as she finally realized what Nuffink was talking about. She sat up, instantly awake. She put her hands on her brother’s shoulders, looking sternly at him. “Alright, Nuff.” Her smile widened. “Do you want to train a dragon?”

Nuffink gave her a smile back. “Thought you’d never ask.”

They jumped out of her bed, giggling and chuckling as they gathered their stuff, pausing in between their father’s snores. Finally, they climbed out of the window, out into the moonlight and towards New Berk’s docks.

“Wow, they actually made it out of the harbour this time.”

“Thanks, Tuff, I hadn’t seen that yet,” Hiccup sarcastically remarked. They were standing on the cliff overlooking New Berk’s docks. It looked the same as it did on every other morning, except for one thing. His ship was missing.

“Must mean you’re getting old, Chief,” the male Thorston twin added. “If they managed to sneak off like this.”

“Believe me, I’ve noticed,” he grumbled. Then, to no one in particular: “Some people lose their knife or their mug. But no, not me. I lose my 16-year old daughter and my 14-year old son.”

“Well, if you ever need any parenting advice, baby-sitter extraordinaire Tuffnut LaVerne Thorston is at your service.”

He gave Tuffnut an unamused stare. “Do I need to remind you, Tuff, that it was your nephew who was on guard duty last night?”

Tuffnut put his hands up in the air, feigning innocence. “Hey, he’s sixteen and totally in love with your girl, while she hardly notices him. You can’t put that on the poor guy.”

“Yeah, Chief, do we need to remind you of all the time you spent swooning over Astrid?” a voice added from behind him. He turned around, finding Snotlout and Astrid walking over to them.

“No, Snot, I don’t think you need to,” his wife – gods, even after all those years of marriage, being able to call her that made his heart accelerate – remarked, intertwining her fingers with his and pressing a kiss to his cheek.

“I take it they weren’t in the village either?” he asked rhetorically, squeezing her hand. “Given that our ship is gone.”

“Well, at least we’re pretty sure where they’ve gone,” Astrid pondered, biting her lower lip.

“I just don’t understand why they keep trying,” he frowned. “We visit Toothless multiple times a year, and they always get to come along. Why would they go on their own?”

“Same reason you always did everything your dad told you not to,” Astrid smiled.

He rolled his eyes at her. That wasn’t exactly what he needed to hear right now. “So does that mean they should just get away with things like this?”

“Oh, absolutely not,” she laughed. “We’re going to drag them back here and after we’ve done that, they’ll be grounded for a long time. Or well, for as long as you can prevent Zephyr from wrapping you around her finger again.”

“Thanks for reminding everyone I still haven’t grown a backbone after sixteen years,” he pouted.

“And when it comes to her, I doubt you ever will,” she teased.

“Anyways,” he continued, frowning at Astrid as Snotlout and Tuffnut snickered behind his back. “Do you want to go after them? Or should I? I’m not sure if it’s a good idea if we’re both gone unexpectedly.”

“Oh, come on, Chief,” Tuffnut butted in. “It’s not like the village will burn down if the two of you aren’t here.”

He pulled up one of his eyebrows. “Given that you and Ruff are still around, I’m not so sure.”

“Pff,” Snotlout scoffed. “As if Ruffnut even has time to cause mayhem. If anything, it’s her twins you should be worried about.”

“And I wonder who taught them how to become the next earthly embodiments of Loki,” Astrid remarked.

“That would be none other than yours truly.” Tuffnut took a deep and overexaggerated bow.

“Which is my point exactly,” Hiccup concluded.

“Seriously though, Hiccup, we can handle it,” Snotlout countered. “Even if you don’t trust us, your mom’s still feisty enough for her age to put us back in line.”

“Snotlout, for the last time, one more word about my mom –” he started.

“Just go already.” Snotlout rolled his eyes. “You won’t convince any of us you two don’t want to see Toothless and Stormfly too. Take my ship if you want to, Hookie flew by here just the other month, so I don’t need to go anywhere for now.”

He looked at Astrid then, finding her gazing back at him. Their agreement didn’t have to be spoken. They’d take any chance they got to see their dragons.

“I suppose we’ll start packing then,” he decided, nodding to their friends. “Thanks, Snotlout.”

They’d been at sea for a few days already, but things couldn’t be better. They were close, Zephyr couldn’t be more sure of it. Her dad had been teaching her to make maps for years. How to read the stars and the movement of the sun, along with how to make the get the most out of the tide and the wind. She’d used everything he’d taught her to make her own map the last few times they’d sailed out, detailing the route towards the Hidden World. But this was the first time she actually had to use it. And the first time she was sailing for multiple days without her father.

She was standing at the front of their family’s ship, taking in the horizon in front of them and shouting something to Nuffink every now and then, who was always quick to adjust the sails, although she still needed to help him out every now and then. Her little brother could be a brat, but when it came to things like these, things he knew she was good at, he usually listened to her.

She took a deep breath, taking in the salty smell of the ocean. There was nothing that could beat this feeling. The wind in her hair, making her long auburn braid trail behind her. The sound of the waves crashing beneath her as their ship cleaved through it. How the weather could suddenly change, the waves picking up, challenging you to conquer them. And she was always glad to take on that challenge.

The only feeling that came close to beating it, was that of being on the back of a dragon. Flying. She’d loved that ever since her mom and dad had first taken them to the Hidden World to meet their dragons. But as the years had gone by, she couldn’t help but start to feel conflicted about it as well. Her dad had been the one to create that, a tribe of Vikings riding on the backs of dragons until they were forced to part, for the sake of the dragons’ safety. And she was next in line to him.

How was she supposed to beat that? How would people come to respect her as Chieftess, if she couldn’t at least live up to her father’s legacy? The man who had resolved the longest war Berk had ever known, had led them through the wars that came afterwards and had finally helped them rebuild their lives so close to the edge of the known world? Her father was a great man. And she didn’t know if she could ever become as great as him.

Which is why she needed to do this. And Nuffink had been happy to come along, always eager to go an adventures and jumping into them head-first. He never backed down from anything, and when she’d offered him the challenge to sneak away from their parents, he’d instantly gone for it. They’d been caught in the act several times, but he hadn’t relented, seizing the opportunity that had presented itself to them several days ago.

Their plan was simple, really. Sail to the Hidden World. Find a dragon. And train it. They’d rode on Toothless, Stormfly and Cloudjumper – on those occasions that grandma felt fit enough to come along – many times before, but they’d been trained by others. They already knew how to listen to their riders and how to keep them safe. Training a wild dragon from scratch, that was something different. And they – she – needed to prove to Berk she could do that too. Not just her father.

“What dragon do you want to go for, Fin?” she asked her brother, who was leaning over the ship’s edge, his eyes peering into the water.

“I don’t really care, as long as it’s awesome,” he beamed. “A Monstrous Nightmare, maybe. Or a Deadly Nadder.”

“Like mom’s?” She pulled up an eyebrow.

“Yeah,” he nodded. “Stormfly always seems cool. Why? What’s wrong with Nadders?”

“I don’t know,” she shrugged. “I just wouldn’t want the same kind of dragon as mom. Or dad. I want something different. Something new. A Boneknapper maybe. Or a Slitherwing…” She trailed off into thought. She couldn’t simply do what anyone they knew had done before. Which eliminated quite some dragon species already, but the Hidden World had enough of them to choose from.

They sailed on for a bit and she spent some time scribbling, studying the movement of the sun. Every now and then, she dropped something small into the sea, watching it float away and taking notes on the current. It was intriguing to her how the currents seemed to flow one way close to New Berk, and another here. It had made her start to envision the ocean as an intricate system of flows, rather than one big puddle of still water. And she couldn’t wait to explore every corner of it.

“Zephyr,” Nuffink suddenly called. She looked up from her sketchbook, urged on by the fact that he had called her with her full name. “Do you hear that?”

For a bit, she heard nothing but the waves as they crashed against their ship. But then, another sound started to fill her ears. That of falling water.

“We made it!” She jumped up, running to the front of the boat. In the distance, she now saw it too. A border of rocks, shrouded in mist. Undoubtedly the edge of the waterfall that led into the Hidden World.

They pulled up the sails, slowing down the boat until it softly bumped against the stone shore. After they let down the anchor, she grabbed her sword and jumped off first, her feet landing in the shallow water as she made her way up onto the rocks. Nuffink threw a rope towards her and she agilely bound it around one of the higher boulders, securing the ship. She offered her brother her hand, but he jumped off on his own, excitedly swinging his axe as he did.

Now they stood there together, at the edge of their world, looking down into the Hidden one. They couldn’t see anything but endless streams of water pouring down into it.

“Mom’s going to kill us,” Nuffink remarked as he leant forward, trying to get a better look at their target.

“Are you scared, baby brother?” she quipped.

“No,” he smiled, looking at her with his green eyes. “I’ll just tell her this was your idea.”

“You’re such a snitch,” she smiled before looking down once more. This was it. They could do this.

“Alright,” she continued, turning around and slowly lowering herself onto the next layer of rocks. “Like it or not, but I’m still taller and stronger than you are. So stay behind me.”

Nuffink pouted but then nodded after all, slowly following her as she continued to make her way downward, trying her best to hold on to the slippery stones. Moving step by step, she slowly grew more confident, enjoying the way the mist made her skin feel damp and her bangs stick to her face. Her dad had had his breakthrough with dragons when he was only fifteen. This was going to be hers.

They went lower and lower, until the edge disappeared from sight. They had already caught the shadows of a few dragons, who either hadn’t noticed their presence or were unbothered by it. But as she paused on a larger ledge, waiting for her brother to reach her, she spotted a big, black shadow. It came right at her, the accompanying high-pitched sound leaving no doubt about its identity.

“Toothless!” she yelled, watching her father’s Night Fury’s green eyes appear, focusing on her. “Toothless, no!”

But the dragon didn’t listen to her. It went straight for her, grabbing her with his front legs and yanking her up as he used his hind legs to push himself off the rock wall. They shot straight up, back into the sky. She yelled and struggled, hoping the dragon would somehow drop her. But he didn’t release her until her feet touched down on the edge, making her fall to her hands and knees as he let her go.

The black dragon landed next to her, his green eyes watching her as the Light Fury put Nuffink back where they seemed to feel they belonged. She balled her fists, shooting the Night Fury an angry look. “Why, Toothless? Why did you have to ruin it?”

He gave her an apologetic warble, his big eyes looking at her as he softly pushed his snout against her cheek.

“Yeah, thanks for nothing, you useless reptile,” she told him, her eyes still set on the hole in front of them. She couldn’t let it end this way. She had to prove herself.

She waited until Toothless turned towards Nuffink and the Light Fury to see if they were okay. Then she got up to her feet, sprinting towards the edge of the rocks. As she reached it, she leapt.

She heard Toothless roar loudly, her brother screaming her name as she fell. But she didn’t fall for long. Three shapes shot out from between the waterfalls, one of them swiftly grabbing her and putting her back down next to Toothless.

The three now fully-grown Night Lights – her dad had called the crossbreeds that due to a lack of inspiration – landed next to them, proudly looking towards their parents as she scrambled back up to her feet, yelling loudly in frustration. “Fuck!” She threw her balled fists up in the air, intending to punch the gods. “Fuck. Fuck. Fuck!”

Tears welling up in her eyes, she let herself fall to the ground, sitting down on the stones beneath her feet. Toothless curled up around her, his big eyes looking at her as she leant back against him and buried her face in his scales, softly pounding her fist against the dragon. She wasn’t mad at him. She was just mad at herself. They’d failed. She’d failed.

“Hiccup, you really have to stop playing around with your prosthetic. You’ll break it one of these days.”

“Don’t tell me you’re not at least slightly worried either,” Hiccup shot back as he reattached his prosthetic to his left leg. “As much as I love it when you play with my hair, I am starting to get the feeling you’re just using me as a distraction.”

“Busted,” Astrid smiled as she leant her head on his shoulder, the two of them sitting on the deck of Snotlout’s boat.

He put his arm around her waist, pulling her closer against him. “I just hope they’re okay.”

“They will be, right? Zephyr’s at least as good a navigator as you are, and Fin’s smart enough to get himself out of most situations,” she murmured, sounding more like she was trying to reassure herself than him.

“I’m not worried about them getting there. But about what they are planning when they do,” he thought out loud, pressing a kiss to the top of her head.

“Toothless will be there. He always is. And he adores those two as much as we love his kids. He’ll take care of them.”

“I know, it’s just…” He sighed. “I wonder if we made the right choice, in not letting them have any dragons of their own.”

“They’ll understand someday,” she reassured him.

In the distance, a faint sound could be heard. That of a waterfall. “Looks like we’re here,” Astrid remarked as she got up to her feet, pulling him up with her.

The first thing they saw was their own boat, floating around in the water. Then, through the mist, a set of figures appeared. A Light Fury, intently watching their visitors approach. And next to her, a Night Fury, lazing on the rocks with both of the Haddock children leaning against him, whose faces instantly contracted as they caught sight of their parents. But he couldn’t be any more relieved to see the two of them safe and sound.

Trying to remain strict nevertheless, he helped Astrid dock the boat, jumping off it and walking up to the two of them. They almost visibly cringed as he looked down at them, kneeling in front of Toothless’ face before giving them what was coming for them. He took the dragon’s head in his hands, softly pressing his forehead against his, speaking to him as one father to another. “Thanks for looking after them, bud.”

Toothless gave him an understanding warble as he got back up, looking sternly at Zephyr and Nuffink. Nuffink instantly moved, pointing at his sister. “It was her idea!”

Zephyr’s elbow landed in his stomach and he winced. Hiccup looked down at his son. “You’re old enough not to let your sister talk you into things.” He pointed behind him, where Astrid was watching from the boat, giving Nuffink the kind of look only a mother could give her son. Nuffink spotted it too, his green eyes turning bigger in fear. “Your mother would like to have a word with you.”

Nuffink seemed to deliberate in his head for a minute, wondering if there was a way to get out of this. Seemingly realizing there absolutely wasn’t one, he got up to his feet, walking past his father with his head held low.

Supressing a little smile, he sat down in Nuffink’s spot, leaning back against Toothless as he looked down at his daughter. “Care to start explaining yourself?”

“Not really,” Zephyr answered, looking at her feet and fidgeting with her hands.

“Well, we’re not leaving until you’ve told me why you thought sneaking out at night with your brother was a good idea. Because it absolutely isn’t. After all, if you’d wanted to see Toothless and his family, you could’ve just asked.”

“It’s not like you’d understand,” she bit, still not looking up at him.

Teenagers. “Give it a shot.”

She stayed silent for a minute before something akin to an answer came out of her mouth. “I just wanted to train a dragon too.”

“And why exactly did you think I would not understand that?” he laughed. “I did the same thing for years.”

“Because you and mom won’t let us.”

The accusing tone in her voice was clear as day. “Zephyr, we’ve talked about this…” More than once, actually. “You know what we tell every sailor or trader that visits New Berk, saying that they’ve heard stories of Berkians flying dragons.”

“We’ve never heard of such a thing. Dragons are just a big part of our tribe’s folk tales. As far as we know, they don’t exist,” she quoted the lines that��d been taught to her since she’d first learnt that dragons were real.

“Exactly,” he nodded. “They have to stay here, because as much as I wish it could be, New Berk is not safe for them. Not yet.”

“But it doesn’t make sense, dad,” Zephyr sighed. “I mean, Toothless is always here to protect the Hidden World, but other dragons visit us all the time, staying out of sight of those that shouldn’t know. Stormfly, Hookfang, Cloudjumper, all of them. Then why can’t Fin and I have dragons too?”

“Because I don’t want you two to have to go through the same amount of hurt your mother and I did,” he admitted. He’d never stated that reason before, hoping he wouldn’t have to talk about it. But Zephyr was getting too inquisitive. And restless.

She looked up at him then. “What do you mean?”

He sighed, reaching behind him and softly petting Toothless. “Dragons weren’t just the creatures we rode around on. To each and every one of us, they were our best friends. And parting with them, no longer waking up to their presence every day, it’s the hardest thing your mom and I have had to do.”

Her big blue eyes turned questioning as she gazed at him, demanding a further explanation.

“You love your brother right, and your friends?” he asked. She nodded. “Imagine spending all these years with them, going on all the crazy adventures Berk still talks about. And then suddenly having to live this far away from them.”

“I’d miss them a lot,” Zephyr agreed.

“And so did we. It took your mom and I years to get over that, and, looking back on it now, it wasn’t until you and your brother came into our lives that we somewhat did. And, to be honest, I still don’t think we’re fully over it,” he told her.

She stayed silent then, seemingly thinking it over.

“But I just want to be more like you, dad,” a small voice eventually told him. “I want to be able to fly too. To go on all those adventures you’ve been on. To prove myself.”

He pulled her closer then, hugging his daughter tightly. “And I wish you could. You don’t want to know how often I imagined it when I was younger. Marrying your mom and eventually teaching our children how to fly.”

“Well, at least the first part of that worked out,” she softly joked.

“Hey, you can fly Toothless, Stormfly and Cloudjumper just fine,” he pointed out.

“But I haven’t trained my own dragon,” Zephyr countered, her voice turning softer again.

“But do you understand why your mom and I would rather you didn’t?” he asked. “Because, as much as I wish I could, I can’t promise you that you will ever be able to really be with them, that the world will be safe enough for dragons and Vikings to reunite. In my lifetime, or the next.” He sighed. “It makes me afraid that, as lovely and great as it’d be at first, you’d only end up getting hurt in the long run. As you’d have to always be apart from someone who’s likely to become your best friend.”

He looked into his daughter’s eyes. “And as your father, I will do everything I can to prevent you from getting hurt.”

Zephyr stayed silent for a moment, looking out across the ocean as she seemed to think things over. “I understand,” she finally responded, and he could feel his heart become lighter almost instantly. “But I just don’t know what else I should do with my life.”

He laughed softly. “You’re sixteen, you don’t have to know yet. You’ve got years to figure it out. For now, just spend your time on what you love. For me, that happened to be dragons. But it doesn’t have to be the same for you.”

“Sailing,” was the only word that came out of her mouth in response, a smile spreading across her face. “That’s what I love to do.”

“Then I will take you on many more fishing trips when we get back to New Berk,” he reassured her. It was one of the things they usually did together. Zephyr loved the ocean, and he was still learning how to navigate in a boat to the extent he’d been able to from a dragon’s back. And he always loved to involve her that.

“I’d like that,” his daughter agreed.

“But first,” he continued. “You’re grounded. I don’t know what exact terms your mother has come up with, but I’m sure she’ll be happy to fill you in once she’s done with Fin.”

“But dad –”

He shook his head, getting up. “No ‘but’s. Next time you want to go somewhere, you ask me first. Whether you like it or not, I’m still your father. So you have to listen to me. To prevent me from worrying too much about you and your brother.”

Zephyr glared daggers at him, using the blue eyes she’d gotten from her mother to do so. He gave her a what-can-you-do kind of smile as he nudged Toothless, getting on the dragon’s back and holding his hand out to her. “So did you want to go flying or not?”

Her stare intensified for a moment before she relaxed, reluctantly taking her father’s hand and getting behind him on the Night Fury. Then, the two of them shot off into the sky.

Hey if you don’t mind explaining, which characters are related and which ones are dating. I’m a little confused 😅

Okay, there's a lotta fun stuff to go through here, so I'm just gonna answer it ooc because it's easier on everyone that way hehe. I get that it's already confusing with... (checks notes) 80 characters, not counting those in the Pantheon, so I'll limit it to the teams and try not to go too far into extended family unless I'm already talking about their relationships with other blog-focused characters. This is all current info as of Nov 10, 2021 and while some is subject to change, it’d be in terms of additions and making a firm decision on a couple of the romance ones that are just considerations at this point.

Familial

Mikey (leader of Verdantia) is Michelangelo’s (member of Ami Peloton) uncle, older than "Lil Mike” by 13 years. He gave his nephew an heirloom ring before leaving on his journey, and 16 years later when Michelangelo was studying under Sycamore in Kalos, he would be able to use that ring to Mega Evolve as it contained a piece of Blastoisinite. (this means Mikey is 32 during the time period Ami Peloton’s journey takes place)

The Ozzies (Frances Ozmanda of White Hot and Isabelle Ozmanda of Clarity) are sisters! Frances is the elder sister, while Isabelle is the younger with a two-year difference between the two, making Isabella 16 during White Hot’s journey and Frances 20 during Clarity’s journey two years after that of her team. Their parents are divorced, with Frances living with her mother in Nuvema and Isabelle living with her father in Aspertia. ...And yeah, I’m pretty sure that most divorced couples don’t split full-time custody of multiple children like this, ‘specially when they’re old enough to not just “forget” they had a sibling like in a Parent Trap situation hehe.

While they will more than likely never meet each other beyond a brief confusing glance while happening to both travel through an Ultra Wormhole at just the right time, Kaimana (of Mahina) and Shigure (of Luminous) are technically half-brothers. It would be incredibly difficult to prove genetically even if you could get them into the same point in space for long enough, however, as their shared father is a Ditto who had made himself into a masculine copy of the woman he fell for and married in each universe. In Kaimana’s universe, Shigure was never born, and vice versa. Hence why this is only a technicality, hehe.

Dexter (of Mahina) and Wiki (of Luminous) are siblings! Unlike the previous Alola example, they’re close in both universes, and though there’s like 30 years between them due to the weirdness of how Rotom are born they act like there’s no more than a three year difference. The only altered circumstance here is which one goes to Alola to help Professor Kukui (the one who represents the Rotom Pokedex) and which ends up on a battle team back in Sinnoh (wherein they’ll take another form, Mow Rotom for Dexter and Frost Rotom for Wiki).

Only bringing him up cuz it’s plot-relevant, but Qiang (of Aigis Armor) has a brother named Shui, both of whom are the older adoptive sons of Master Mustard.

Another plot-relevant one, but as you may have guessed by his name, Sans (of Hopeful Gale) has a younger brother named Papyrus, a Lucario. Technically half-brothers, their parents have a similar situation to Kaimana and Shigure, two different mothers and a Ditto father (and guess what Undertale character HE’S named after lol) but with much less interdimensional shenanigans and more wholesome polycule. It was actually originally going to be Papyrus who would make the journey to Orre via the doomed S. S. Libra ocean liner, but Sans had a bad feeling and insisted on going in his place.

Romantic

While I have been considering having Zephyr and Stan (both of Verdantia) date, nothing’s set in stone there yet. For now they just develop great respect for one another, though it could be something more.

Pitcher and Astrid (of Shining Souls), if only so I can make silly references to their voice claims (Stephen Georg and his wife Mal)

Juniper and Sierra (of Hoenn Braves) are the old “childhood friends to lovers” trope.

Speaking of Hoenn Braves’ members, also considering having Pelly and Sally get together despite their histories as being members of Team Aqua and Team Magma respectively. Nothing set in stone with them, though, but it’s very possible :3c

Ruka develops feelings for Dracaena shortly after he joins Sinnoh Boys, but constantly second-guesses whether or not he should share those feelings due to potentially messing with team dynamic or the possibility that Dracaena was straight. He finally confesses after they defeat Cynthia’s team, and needless to say, it goes over really well :3

Isa Ozzie and Puffy (of Clarity) are dating! They were unofficially dating a little bit before Puffy became more of a physical entity (long story, short version is Puffy’s in-game counterpart came from a Dream Radar transfer), and once that happened they made it official and started their journey as girlfriends.

Fleur and Calypso (of Mahina). Not much more to say here, they’re just sweet together X3

Kiari and Wiki (of Lumious), mainly due to them bonding as Wiki tends to hang out in Kiari’s phone when they’re feeling a bit overwhelmed.

Twilight and Oolong (of Aigis). Another pair that’s just cute without much further explanation needed, hehe.

About Killian

Killian Othden is a main character in the mun’s fantasy novel, Fireborn. The story is set on a planet named Erse. Killian is from a kingdom named Cathail and lives in the capitol, Aureolin, with his mother, father, four brothers, and his cousins.

He is 20 years old at the beginning of the story. Killian is a little over seven feet tall, which is not unusual for his family. His skin tone is a warm fawn color and he has freckles on his cheeks and nose. His hair grows long, down to his hips and is a dark auburn. While he is strongly built, he is a terrible athlete and would much rather sit and read a book or work on his ideas.

Killian is written as a demisexual, demiromantic. Killian does not have a love interest at this time and is not interested in having a romantic relationship. Not so much because he does not want one, it’s just not on his radar at all. He does, however, sometimes think he would want children someday.

Ersians come of age at twenty, no matter their race. Some races, like the Vericlen and Naemmos, age slower than others. Killian is half Vericlen and half Naemmmos. (Fun fact, an Ersian year is equivalent to 10 Earth years)

Killian has been training in the Aureolin Guild of Engineers since he was thirteen. He apprenticed under Master Smith, Maegar Claedfyr, before that. Killian took and passed the test needed to become a Master of the Aureolin Guild as soon as he came of age. He is chief engineer of Solarian, the castle where his family lives.

Killian becomes a bit more scientific and more interested in engineering than he does at making swords or jewelry. He is considered a genius when it comes to math. Still, he has a very strong artistic urge which can be seen in the aesthetic of his work space and in his inventions. They are all pleasing to the eye as well as functional.

Most Vericlen and Naemmos are born with a set of abilities. Vericlen are more aligned with the elements of Erse where as the Naemmos possess abilities that align with the Cosmos. Some do not possess abilities and these are called the Anhum.

Killian has the ability to command the earth around him, especially metals. His voice causes seismic waves if it raises past a soft tone. For this reason, Killian rarely raises his voice. He wears a silver collar made of the Ersian metal Novisium around his neck to help negate the destructive quality of his voice.

He is the second born of King Damir Othden and Queen Orya Nahin. His oldest brother is Finn by two years. Curran is a year younger than Killian and Aidan is three years younger. The Dorians are Killian’s cousins. They are Cyrus, Zander, Zephyr, and Nyx. His half cousins are Neo and Cal Reiner. Killian has one nephew, Finn’s son, Aeon.

Killian is closest to his father as they both possess very similar abilities. Damir was also a blacksmith before he led a rebellion against the Sun King. As a child, Killian often watched his father work in his private forge. He preferred this to spending time with his peers who would only make fun of him for his height, clumsiness, and stutter. Damir often gave him small pieces of scrap and other projects to work with when Killian became old enough to handle tools. In the present day (in the story) Damir still works with Killian on his projects.

He is close with Finn as his oldest brother was always the one who defended him against anyone who tried to bully Killian. He, Finn, and Cy shared a room until they requested to have their own. Finn was the one who knew what Killian needed to Killian didn’t have to speak much as a child. For this reason, Killian is now very protective of his older brother.

Aidan adores Killian. As far back as Killian can remember, Aidan was always tailing him. Aidan had no great gift for smithing, but he often helped Killian research new techniques.

Curran and Killian are like-minded. They are curious about the world around them and seek to figure it out. Neither of them like to wait to follow the rules and would rather learn by trial and error. They often argued over scientific principles.

Neo is the cousin he is closest to. Neo is four years older than Killian.They both have a mind for innovation and work together on Killian’s Guild projects, though Neo is not a Guild member. They became friends when Killian was 15. It was unintentional as Neo does not really “like” his cousins and Killian preferred to work alone. Killian could feel that Neo was lonely and decided it was more important for his cousin to feel wanted than for Killian to work in silence.

Killian can be stubbornly quiet. He is prone to outbursting when pressures become too much. He has lost his cool more than once with Finn who tends to know exactly how to tease Killian. His brothers and cousins all say “it’s all fun and games until Killian loses his cool.”

He is known to become restless when an iea grabs hold and often becomes obsessive until the project is complete. Killian finds making friends outside of family difficult, but once he makes a friend, he is fiercely loyal.

Killian becomes nervous in front of crowds and does deal with some anxiety in general. His mother taught his how to fold paper animals to center his energy and focus on something other than what was worrying him. Killian has small, square pieces of paper on him at all times and his family knows when Killian is working through anxiety when they find his desk littered with paper creatures.

He is a kind soul. Even to those who once mocked him, Killian has never spoken ill of them. He has a gift for empathy that goes beyond simply understanding how someone feels. Emotions affect him deeply and he often hid when his parents argued. As an adult, Killian avoids conflict when possible. He loves animals and nature. Killian has a small mouse that has taken up residence in his workshop. Killian could never bear to get rid of it, so he allows it to stay and even leaves nibbles for it.

Killian’s main purpose is to make the world a better place. He has an innate need to create and make life easier for people of all walks of life. For this reason, the people love him, and they have dubbed him their “Silent Prince.”

“Why do you always get to have all the fun?”

Character Playlist | Main Tag | Aesthetic | Inspiration

Adelen is one of 3 younger-half sisters of Kalai,. They share the same mother but different fathers and there is a roughly 8 year age difference between them. She is one of the New Seven Hearts.

~~~

💝Basic Information💝

Full Name ~ Adelen Christine Rowan

DOB ~ July 29th

Homeworld ~ Radiant Garden

Skills ~ Princess of Heart with all the abilities that come with that.

Weapon ~ None

Attribute~ Light

Family ~ Leonard Rowan (Father), Ilise Rowan (Mother), Kalai (Oldest sister), Lucio (Older brother), Lucia (Older sister) Iris (Older sister), Ansem the Wise (Great uncle), Zephyr (Nephew), Taima (Niece)

Friends ~ Dilan (unofficial adoptive father), Daphne (friend), Yuffie (friend), Olette (friend), Lauriam, Isa and Lea (honorary big brothers)

Voice Imagine (EN) ~ Luci Christian

Voice Imagine (JP) ~ Nao Toyama

~~~

💝Background💝

Adelen is the youngest daughter and youngest child of Lord and Lady Rowan. She was only three years old when Kalai was sent away and was never allowed to see her, and as a result, she became very close to Iris. By the time she was growing up, her parent’s loveless marriage was beginning to improve and they doted on her. Her childhood was very sheltered, with her parents rarely allowing her out of the house outside of school. From an early age, she was interested in the world outside her province and found escape mostly in books.

Pre KH3, A Life Interrupted

When Radiant Garden falls to darkness, Adelen finally had a chance to see the outside world but not in the way she hoped. Heartless ravage her family home and take her father. The siblings all get separated and she and Iris make a temporary home for themselves in Traverse Town.

Their life in Traverse Town is peaceful but sad, with Iris constantly trying to find a way to get them home. For some reason unknown to Adelen, Heartless seem particularly drawn to her. Fairy Godmother notices this and she brings her and Iris to Merlin to teach them basic magic as a means of protection.

Post KH3, A Whole New World

Soon after Maleficent is driven out, Iris and Adelen find a way to return to their homeworld and they are briefly reunited with their other siblings. After a falling out with Lucio and Lucia, Adelen follows Iris to The Capital of Light in hopes of a better life with their great uncle and his apprentices, and with hopes of reconciling with Kalai.

Out of the two, Kalai is initially the most dismissive of Adelen because she tends to copy/follow behind her and get in trouble. A pivotal moment in their relationship comes when Adelen wanders off alone and finds the Garden of Assemblage. She goes into Zexion’s data portal and Kalai has to go in after her to save her.

Like with Iris, their relationship does take time to improve, and when it does, Kalai ends up becoming very protective of Adelen. She also takes a great liking to Lea and Isa who decide to adopt her as their honorary little sister.

Present, A Radiant Heart and a Graceful Promise

When Kairi was struck down by Master Xehanort at the height of the Keyblade War, the light she held as a Princess of Heart was transferred to another maiden born in Radiant Garden. That girl is Adelen.

Due to Radiant Garden’s position as the Capital of Light among all the other worlds, there will always be a Princess of Heart from that world. The fact that Heartless seem so drawn to her is because of an extraordinarily strong light in her heart that she holds even before becoming a Princess of Heart. Had Kairi not been struck down, she would have kept her power and by the time Sora revives her, Adelen had already inherited it.

Her revelation as a Princess of Heart marks another pivotal moment in her relationship with Kalai due to the information being deliberately held from both of them until Adelen is unintentionally put in danger. Despite this, Kalai is determined to keep her youngest sister safe from the legions of darkness. The promise to always protect her, destroying all animosity between them once and for all.

~~~

💝Appearance and Personality💝

Due to her sheltered upbringing and the lack of outright malevolence she’s experienced in life, Adelen is extremely trusting and curious to a fault. These traits occasionally and unintentionally put her in harm’s way, with Kalai often having to help her with the result that they both end up in trouble. But Adelen is not a mean spirited girl, just adventurous, occasionally absentminded and unaware of her limits.

She’s also a hopeless romantic with an obsession with bringing Iris and Ienzo closer to each other. Something she and Kalai bond over. But she continually insists that there is no boy that can meet her own romantic standards, except maybe Isa but he’s too old.

She enjoys nature, gardening, music (something she took up from her mother and oldest sister), being outside the castle and visiting Twilight Town with Lea and Isa. She loves animals, especially rabbits and she owns a bunny spirit named Antoine.

Adelen stands about 5ft2 with long sandy brown curls and blue eyes. Her story begins when she is 14 years old, and she is currently 17.

~~~

💝Relationships💝

Kalai ~ It’s rather ironic that Kalai initially dislikes Adelen the most because she becomes the closest to her when it is all said and done. This is probably because deep down, their personalities are very similar. Adelen really admires her oldest sister and is a tad bit jealous because she has visited many worlds and had many adventures in the past. It is her hope to one day be strong like Kalai and have adventures of her own. In the meantime, she regularly follows behind her and loves being around her. They share a love of the harp and their favorite pastimes are taking high rides on Kalai’s keyblade mobile (much to Dilan’s dismay) and playing matchmaker for the other apprentices. It is also through Adelen’s mediation that Kalai’s relationship with Lea and Isa eventually improves.

Daphne (minor OC) ~ Daphne is a member of the Restoration Committee and works as an assistant in the Moogle Shop. Before the fall of Radiant Garden, Daphne was a special favorite of the young Kalai and often talked to her about feminine subjects the apprentices were too embarrassed to talk about. She is now more than happy to play that role again to her younger sister. Adelen often spends time with her outside the castle where they go shopping or play with her terrier Theo. Daphne has feelings for Aeleus and vice versa, but both are too shy/easily flustered to say anything to the other. So naturally, Adelen and Kalai take it upon themselves to encourage their budding romance, often with adorably comedic results.

Lea and Isa ~ Both men take a quick liking to Adelen and she is the perfect medium to the banter between them. They often take her out for ice cream and talk to her about boys and the different worlds they’ve been to. Neither Lea or Isa have siblings so they enjoy the dynamic immensely. Isa in particular likes when Adelen plays the harp for him and Lea sometimes takes her on his trips to Twilight Town. Though the differences in their ages would make a relationship impossible, Adelen has often hinted that she would like to date a boy similar to Isa in personality.
