#Heron Branwen

[roninreverie]

Going to attempt some chapter art for my ongoing STRQ fic on A03. Here's Chapter One!

"Qrow contemplates his place in the tribe as the Branwen leader summons him and his sister for a life-changing mission."

[1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9] [10] [11] [12] [13] [14] [15]

Plus, a bonus!

Some drafts because it's been a while since I've drawn anything. I got rid of Heron's luxurious hair/cape, and traced over OG STRQ to figure out how they work, but I like the way Qrow's shirt came out better in that.

Made Decisions About Faunus Genetics in Firen Lhain

What's established:

Faunus + Faunus of same type = Faunus of same type

Faunus + Faunus of different type = random Faunus

my expansionary rules:

Human+ = Biologically Human, but has Faunus DNA.

Faunus + 100% Human = Faunus of same type

Faunus + Human+ = random Faunus

Human+ + Human+ = small chance of producing a Faunus

Human+ + Human = smaller chance of producing a Faunus

so,

Taiyang Xiao Long (Lava Lizard) + Raven Branwen (Human) = Yang Xiao Long (Lava Lizard)

Taiyang Xiao Long (Lava Lizard) + Summer Rose (Fox) = Ruby Rose (Wolf)

Qrow Branwen = Human

Jacques Schnee (Human) + Willow Schnee (Little Blue Heron) = Winter, Weiss, and Whittley (Little Blue Heron)

Ghira Belladonna (House Cat) + Kali Belladonna (House Cat) = Blake Belladonna (House Cat)

Papa Arc (Caribou) + Mama Arc (Human) = Arc Siblings (Caribou)

Papa Nikos (Flamingo) + Mama Nikos (Human) = Pyrrha Nikos (Flamingo)

Papa Valkyrie (Human+) + Mama Valkyrie (Cow) = Nora Valkyrie (Kestrel)

Papa Ren (Owl) + Mana Ren (Mouse) = Lie Ren (Pit Viper)

Faunus Traits:

Taiyang Xiao Long

Same Faunus traits as Yang Xiao Long

Summer Rose

Species: Red Fox (Vulpes vulpes)

Visible Attribute: Fox tail

Less Visible Attributes: Eyeshine. Feral cunning, allowing her to predict where creatures will move on an instictive level. She can also use this to affect the movement of creatures with subtle actions to trigger their instictive responses. Four-limb gait when needed.

Semblance: Fox's Wedding: Allows her to create some combination of sunlight and rain. The more dramatica the change, the more taxing it is.

Special: Silver Eyes

Willow, Winter, Whittley Schnee

Same Faunus traits as Weiss Schnee

Ghira and Kali Belladonna

Same Faunus traits as Blake Belladonna

Papa Arc / Jaune's Sisters

Same Faunus traits as Jaune

note: Not aura trained, as as such antlers can take a full season to grow.

Papa Nikos

Same Faunus traits at Pyrrha Nikos

Mama Valkyrie

Species: Cow (Bos taurus)

Visible Attribute: Cow Hooves

Less Visible Attributes: Slit Eyes (improved lateral-field vision, but reduced focus), Eye Shine, tremendous strength. Not Aura trained, as such her strength is purely physical.

Papa Ren

Species: Eurasian Eagle-Owl (Bubo bubo)

Visible Attribute: Owl Talons

Less Visible Attributes: Predictive aerial agility, (cannot control movement in the air, but can predict the exact path to create the appearance of this agility). Eye Shine. Owl Hearing.

Mama Ren

Species: Blyth's Vole (Phaiomys leucurus)

Visible Attribute: Fur covering. Despite the protection this provides, she is incredibly modest, and wares full clothing.

Less Visible Attributes: Strong nesting instincts, fine finger dexterity, Eye Shine

Tiny break from my regularly scheduled fanfic art to draw up some STRQ parents, featuring the Ooblecks.

Strangely enough, it was this post about snail color dyes that made me be like... I need a blue, snail-man named Tek in this story right now... but where?! I never named Bartholomew's dad, and they've got slime-based Semblances, so BOOM! It was all downhill from there!

Spoiler-free versions of my character notes for these guys under the cut:

Phyllis “Merryweather” Xiao Long:

Tai’s mother.

Is kind of the unofficial community leader of Patch's social circles.

Her maiden name is in reference to the fairy from Sleeping Beauty.

Her first name is a RvB reference that started as a joke placeholder and accidentally became permanent. 🤣

Yichen Xiao Long:

Tai’s father.

Ran a dojo on Patch.

His name is based off of Chinese characters “Yi” 奕 , meaning “great: and “Chen” 辰 meaning “early morning/ sun/ dragon of the Chinese zodiac… which is in reference to Taiyang’s own name meaning “great or little sun dragon” (—buuut IDK Chinese so all this is speculative Google searching on my part).

Sheila Oobleck:

Bartholomew’s mother and Phyllis’ best gal pal.

She loves gossip and wears yellow. She crashes any car she gets behind the wheel of.

Her name is PURELY and INTENTIONALLY a RvB reference! Semblance is strictly cosmetic, like Bakugo's mom.

Tekhelet “Tek” Oobleck:

Bartholomew’s father.

Archaeologist, studies ruins. Wears Blue.

Semblance would probably be related to the slime from snail trails. His name is a color Blue, based on a stray tumblr post (see above) I saw about blue dyes, Tyrian purples, snails, and Jewish historical fun facts.

Zariyah “Gale” Rose:

Summer’s mother.

She was kind and gentle, had an angelic singing voice, and baked a mean batch of cookies.

Her Semblance was akin to a “gentle breeze”.

Both her names are a reference to “wind”.

Ryley Rose:

Summer's father.

His Semblance allowed him to grow seeds into flowers just in the palm of his hand (though they died shortly after). If used on seeds in the ground, his Semblance instead helped the vegetation grow stronger and healthier than it ever would have on its own.

His name means “rye clearing” in homage to his Semblance and “growing crops” as a farmer. 

Heron Branwen:

The twins' father.

He is the leader of the Branwen bandit tribe.

His Semblance is "Positive Outlook" - a precognitive ability to alter probability and bring about the most beneficial outcome through visions of differing scenarios.

Ardent:

The twins' mother.

She was said to like tea and birdwatching; had red eyes, an explosive temper, and was good with a sword.

I always thought her Semblance might have something to do with shadow-based teleportation.

Her name is one I use in fics sometimes because it's unique-sounding. It means "burning; enthusiastic, passionate" and I believe is also a shade of Red.
