#I've also been sick during this period and mindlessly skipping through ARR is about the level of brainpower I could handle lol

On Summer

I made another alt to see the end of ARR changes (turns out I can get through all of ARR in two and a half days (about 24 hours of playtime) if I really go for it and skip most of the cutscenes and dialogue. It’s my fourth time through ARR. I don’t feel bad). The fights with Rhitahtyn and Lahabrea are much better as solo instances! It was a good rework.

But.

I got attached to her.

So here’s some info dumping on bunny Dragoon:

Grew up in Gridania

Her mother was an adventurer who traveled to Eorzea from the Skatay Range

She died in an Ixal ambush, which was then fended off by Wood Wailers who rescued toddler Summer

She grew up in an orphanage in insular Gridania where many people didn’t even know what she was

She idolized the Wood Wailers and wanted to be one when she grew up

Her first time meeting another Viera was when she traveled to Limsa Lominsa and met another Viera adventurer

My youngest WoL, though time actually passes in her canon (albeit still more quickly than it probably should given how much happens in this game)

People usually assume she’s older than she is due to how tall she is (she’s max height)

Joined the Lancers’ Guild on her 18th nameday

The attack on the Waking Sands took place on her 19th nameday

The attack on Rhalgar’s Reach took place on her 20th nameday

The Ghimlyt Dark took place on her 21st nameday

The final confrontation in Endwalker took place on her 22nd nameday

She is a single job Dragoon, which is unlikely to change due to the number other jobs I already have between my main and my other alts, but at the same time I do know what other jobs she would take for other roles if I did pick up more :P

She is a lesbian

I ship her with Lyna in Shadowbringers

I’d ship her with Alisaie, if Alisaie was not still physically a child due to Elezen aging (despite only having an ~3 year age difference)

Alisaie is her closest friend in the Scions, due to their similar age and the fact they both had to grow up fast and be mature beyond their years. They spend a lot of time goofing off and being teenagers/young adults together.

They sometimes drag Alphinaud into their shenanigans, which he does not greatly appreciate.
