Pokraj mene više nisi, čamcem plovim sam po Tisi...
Al' još te uvek volim ja...
Posing some soft lesbians after being inspired by an old Yugoslav song - "Čamac na Tisi". Also, Matheli's clothes are inspired by male traditional clothes from Vojvodina (I tried giving Jia female traditional clothes, but couldn't find anything similar sadly)

^ this is the song in question btw, give it a listen if you want to!
I decided to make my main trio as dragoons and match them with three great wyrms of Eorzea. (and I'm very proud of how it turned out :D)
The first two actually have a connection with the dragon they're paired with. Some OC lore explained under the cut! :)
Matheli is the Warrior of Light, so their relationship with Midgardsormr is the one seen in the msq. Though they didn't start off in the best way (Midgardsormr taking Matheli's Blessing of Light), they bonded over time and Matheli grew to see him as a father figure they needed.
Jia follows the dragoon storyline and is chosen by Nidhogg's eye. It's power influenced her to some degree, but unlike Estinien in lvl 50 dragoon quest, she managed to resist. Both Nidhogg's and Jia's actions are motivated by anger and vengeance - Nidhogg towards Ishgard and Jia towards Garlean Empire (she is Ala Mhigan and lost her father to the Garleans). Also, a spirit (?) of Nidhogg also appears above her when she's about to execute the Dragonsong Dive.
Woo-hoo! I made it to the end! I tried my best to keep up with posting daily gposes and catch up with the prompts I missed (and I even have a few prompts left that I still wanna do). It was fun, and I'm definitely taking part in the similar events in the future! :D
Matheli may have severed ties with their biological family, but that doesn't mean they'll never find another one. And they did - Nina and Jia have been their closest friends (and Jia even becoming their partner) and the three of them stayed together through thick and thin. By the end of Shadowbringers and later Endwalker, they have started considering themselves a little family.
The word "shard" associates me with Ancients and Azem and other Endwalker stuff, and I couldn't be further away from Endwalker. So instead of "shard", I'll be taking a day 3 prompt from the third Roevember prompt list.
For context - Matheli and Jia first met during the Little Ala Mhigo part of the ARR msq, when Matheli went around the settlement asking about "suspicious masked men". And Jia, being a typical Ala Mhigan from that settlement, wasn't fond of outsiders wandering around their home, and was quite hostile towards Matheli. That hostility only started to fade bit by bit when Jia teamed up with the remaining Scions after the Garlean attack on the Waking Sands.
