𝖆 𝖘𝖙𝖗𝖆𝖓𝖌𝖊𝖗 𝖈𝖆𝖑𝖑𝖘 … have a drink at my table , allow me to tell you stories — stories of dragons and burnt men . tell me about lord yoon jaewon . ( kim youngdae , cis male , he/him )

hello my darlings!! it's me, maeve once again with a new muse. this is actually my first male muse in a long while so this will definitely be a fun experiment! just like this post and I'll be there to plot, giving you my discord user at your request!

— with fire in his veins, and steel armor beneath his skin ⸻ he is the fiery blade itself, vowing an oath to always protect those who's nearest and dearest to his heart. born on the seventh month of the year, during the fire nation's most blistering summers, yoon jaewon's birth was celebrated by his parents and his aunt as another addition to the joyous family and being the first son in the yoon's family current lineage. jaewon had been known to be a very energetic but volatile child due to his affinity of burning things down during his many tantrums in the past, having been noted to be an early bloomer as he displayed powers of firebending at the early age of only 3 years old ( what was once a source of pride became a source of headaches for his parents and aunt ) — being the eldest son of the yoon family, as well as the avatar's eldest nephew ; it'd been expected of him to lead his family as the next heir and head of the family, taking charge of the family business. but jaewon who always been one to rebel his parents's expectations, sought out to improve his firebending and had taken up sword-fighting during his primary schooling years, decided to instead join the military and advance through the ranks. — with his prominent relations with the avatar yuha herself and his prodigal firebending skills, jaewon definitely flourished in his military official career and had been advancing through the ranks in rapid pace ( though, not as quick as the rest of the nobles ).

— undoubtedly the bane of his parents' ( and aunt's ) existence for his constant defiance and rebellious attitude towards them, has been often seen arguing with them as they couldn't agree on anything ; not even the simplest of things. despite his strained relationship with the elders of the family, jaewon does truly love them with all his heart — it's just can't be helped that he is so incredibly frustrated with them, and them with him. — he is his siblings' most fiercest defender and protector : being the eldest son of the family, jaewon had deemed its his duty to always protect them from any harm. has been known to have the tendency to be overprotective over them but it is without a doubt, that jaewon was very devoted to his siblings and they always have known that he is the big brother that can be trusted to defend them against anything, especially if its their own parents. — when the fire lord suddenly announced his eldest sister's engagement and the sudden elevation of his family among the nobility, jaewon feels extremely conflicted with this new developments — especially him suddenly being a noble in overnight. — as he couldn't bear the idea of his eldest sister on possibly facing the court alone and couldn't trust the royal family to have his sister's best interests, jaewon made an extremely impulsive decision to resign from his military career and instead join the royal guards, once again defying his parents on their expectations and their attempts to train him to be the family's heir. — and frankly, it'd been quite easy for him to join the royal guards due to his past career as a military official and his affinity with swords ( not to mention, his familial relations with the avatar yuha and the crown prince's newly engaged betrothal ) — whilst he's known to be more impulsive and hot tempered than the rest of his family, jaewon often display a rather charming and friendly facade in social settings — and has been regarded as the light of the parties many times due to how sociable he is. ( however, his lack of rigid noble etiquettes often make him seemed rude and mannerless in the eyes of the nobility. but frankly, he doesn't quite care. ) — has been known to be quite the charmer to the ladies. with his suave, flirtatious persona and chivalrous attitude, it's easy to see why he'd become a popular fixture amongst them. unfortunately, these characteristics of his spark unsavory rumors of him being some sort of player which is infinitely far from the truth. — because despite his tough exterior, jaewon is actually a big romantic who wears his heart on his sleeves and he often dreamed of meeting one true love. — but for now, he rather protect his siblings from harm's ways with all his might ; being the shield and sword for his eldest sister in the treacherous royal court as well perhaps her one trusted ally.

WANTED CONNECTIONS — some nobles he had met before moving into the capital and joining as one of them. friends he had made during celebrations and festivities, former military colleagues! new royal guard colleagues! and even royals he's been stationed to guard ( time to get to know the in laws i guess- ), ex lovers or flings! I'm open to any dynamics and any plots between our muses!

𝖆 𝖘𝖙𝖗𝖆𝖓𝖌𝖊𝖗 𝖈𝖆𝖑𝖑𝖘 … have a drink at my table , allow me to tell you stories — stories of dragons and burnt men . tell me about lord choi geonwoo .

( choi san , male , he/him ) : ̗̀➛ twenty-five years young , a firebender & lavabender from the noble house of choi. many know them to be stoic & callous . how unfortunate , truly … i’ve always found them to be patient & observant . they oft fulfill the duties of a member of the royal guard . oh , i should tell you — they support the rule of house yi . well , you know how every storyteller bends the tale they tell . ✶

-ˋˏ OOC / Hello hello everyone! Please allow me to introduce Geonwoo (aka Geon), one of the twin siblings of House Choi ( very coincidental to the fc I chose but I felt he fit! ). Please feel free to read more about him below. You can also find a profile here. ♡ this post if you'd like to plot. ✶ sera , 21+ , she/her . ( discord : serachasauce )

TRAITS ⸻ steadfast, patient, proper, brutally honest, quiet, loyal, callous, subservient, insecure, stoic, observant, stern, a bit selfish, argumentative.

⸻ ABOUT HIM

One of the only ( or possibly the only ) sons in House Choi. He is also a twin.

Like many other nobles, he has trained his entire life. Due to his family's unique lineage, he is a highly skilled lavabender (preferring it over standard firebending) and swordsman with a propensity for using his fists. He must be, considering his position as a member of the royal guard.

Has an itching suspicion about the death of his parents, all things considered. Part of his undying loyalty may partially be due to the fact that he has hidden worries.

Serial eavesdropper. It’s all for the sake of protecting the royal family. Seriously.

Not much interest in politics and such. Doesn’t follow the commands of anyone but the royal family, even viewing their word as priority. The only other one he would think to bend to is his eldest sister.

Always lurking, even if you don’t see him. Always.

His personality could obviously use some work but he’s oddly touched by art ( paintings, music, dance ) and will often be quietly moved by these things. 

He also enjoys trying to sketch in his free time. They aren’t the best because he doesn’t get much practice in. Don’t try to look in the little notebook he always carries around or you will get a kick to the throat.

Usually doesn’t speak unless spoken to unless he outranks the other person. Courtesy and all that. He is very polite and adherent to the rules of the palace. Don’t let him catch you slipping!

Says things that are lowkey dramatic asf. Cue the “you deserve to be put to death for that” ^ comments. But... usually means it as a joke... I swear. He is actually quite cheeky sometimes.

Keen on punishment, as he does not tolerate dissidents. He is dedicated to keeping peace within the nation and palace, even if it means resorting to violence to eliminate the threat.

Has a sadistic streak and can often get a bit too into a fight sometimes.

You will probably never know if he hates you or not. Poker face at all times. But he is candid and honest with his words, perhaps to a fault. But (2) he is adept in speaking in metaphor/vaguely if a situation calls for it.

Feels and will claim that he's unworthy of love. Too willing to not make any first moves out of worry and waits it out until it's too late every time.

Kind of aware that he is a bit of an asshole sometimes because of his curt personality. Not actually that mean or malicious, just very, very bound to his duty.

He was always closest to his father out of both of his parents, following very obediently in his footsteps and according to his word up until his death. He takes offense to any negative word against either of his parents, and it is one of the few things that can make him genuinely upset.

⸻ PLOT IDEAS

I’m mainly a brainstorm it out kinda girl but there are a couple of ideas that could possibly work as pre-est connections.

The classic childhood friend plot? Someone around the same age.

Someone he constantly catches breaking the rules. Please convince him not to punish you harshly. Good luck. ALT. You witness him being a little too harsh on someone and try to intervene.

Friendly rival. Someone he is cautious of; though, they have their fun moments of sword practicing and that good old banter.

Rival rival. Wow, he really doesn’t like you at all and perceives you as a threat to himself or the royal family. Or both.

An actual confidant. This could be super rare because he finds it incredibly difficult to trust anyone whatsoever due to his position. He doesn't talk much but with them, it's different. Someone who won't just go spreading his stuff around.

Someone he can appreciate the arts with. Maybe an actual artist/someone who’s talented in that field.

A past fling maybe but not much beyond that. He might as well be married to his duties and wasn’t interested when he was younger. 

Maybe someone who would like him to teach them how to improve their fighting skills. They might have to beg though... or bribe him with goodies.

Those who are intent on challenging his ( seemingly ) unwavering support for the current reigning family. This could result in some increasing tension or an attempt at softly convincing him of their position.

𝖆 𝖘𝖙𝖗𝖆𝖓𝖌𝖊𝖗 𝖈𝖆𝖑𝖑𝖘 … have a drink at my table , allow me to tell you stories — stories of dragons and burnt men . tell me about lady zhao keran .

( zhou ye , female , she/her ) : ̗̀➛ twentyfour years young , a firebender from the noble house of zhao . many know them to be rakish & untempered . how unfortunate , truly … i’ve always found them to be lively & open-minded . they oft fulfill the duties of a sergeant in the fire nation army . oh , i should tell you — they oppose the rule of house yi . well , you know how every storyteller bends the tale they tell .

ruvi here and bringing you a hot girl, quite literally! she's loyal only to their family and the soldiers she's sworn to protect, though she's taken a detour along the way that's shaken things up. like the post to plot and i'll send a message here or send you my disc ♡

youngest of house zhao, she's a sponge for the best and worst parts of her family. fully entrenched in the military mindset, the only thing that matters to her is strength—everyone's equal in a fight, and the strongest person is always right. and she's strong, too, trained from young to reach the rank of captain in the fire nation army by nineteen.

but she has a moment of rebellion at twenty, a moment's impulse when she ditches her section and sneaks away from the capital. her forethought only goes as far as her fists, and she'd been curious about life on the other side. her siblings, being the ones who run the military, cover up her absence for as long as they can while on the hunt for her, eventually finding her moonlighting as a barkeep under a new name.

keran gets freedom for a year or so, working at a tavern with no expectations or lives to be in charge of. it pokes holes in her life philosophy, seeing the way might can be misused—and sometimes, just outright wrong. at least she's always strong enough to right it, but she learns to value strengths that aren't just useful for a fight. though she still thinks a fist is the strongest of them all.

but a leash comes back for her, dragging her from the urban centre back to hari bulkan. she's demoted down to sergeant, and has been stuck there for a couple of years more. she's getting antsy about it, along with her realisation that a leash is still a leash, no matter how many military medals you put on it.

she thinks house yi might not deserve the throne, having seen what happens in the urban centre, and resenting the tight leash that bites into her neck. she wants them taken down, but hasn't gotten far enough to think about who should be put in charge after.

there's a biased sense of equality to her—she's open to everyone, as long as they can beat her in a fight. she's reckless and fun loving, but can be quite dogged once she's got her teeth into something. doesn't have a head for politics, off-puttingly honest, and isn't playing the long game—most members of house zhao die young, so she might as well make the most of what she's got.

wanted connections

sparring partner, someone she pulls no punches with and seeks out when she's itching for a fight, often

a dream she owes, she met them while moonlighting as a barkeep and left a promise unfulfilled

childhood enmity. they've never gotten along, but now they've got a common goal (against the royal house) that's changing things up

childhood betrothed no longer, their engagement was called off after her stint of missingness/demotion, possibly by their parents or it was their decision

an anchor/foil that grounds her, who provides a differing opinion that tempers her impulses

complicated familial relationships! a sibling with clashing egos and desires for the future of their house. a sibling she's a little shadow of

a moth to her flame, inexplicably drawn to her despite a myriad of misgivings

[dcrkbloods]

howdy! i’m pluto ( 21+, she/they ) and would like to introduce the catastrophe that is woo hyeseong. y'all he's just a funky fella... i’ll try my best to keep it as organized and brief as possible, but i do tend to overdo it . below the cut is the long story short. as for plotting and such i don’t mind giving out my discord!

𝖆 𝖘𝖙𝖗𝖆𝖓𝖌𝖊𝖗 𝖈𝖆𝖑𝖑𝖘  …  have a drink at my table , allow me to tell you stories — stories of dragons and burnt men . tell me about lord woo hyeseong  .  (  lee taemin,  cis male , he/him )    : ̗̀➛   twenty-nine years young , a firebender from the noble house of woo . many know them to be overconfident & aloof . how unfortunate , truly … i’ve always found them to be intuitive & captivating . they oft fulfill the duties of a courtesan . oh , i should tell you — they are impartial to the rule of house yi . well , you know how every storyteller bends the tale they tell .

the second born to house woo, not his father’s child. his mother was having affairs with various people after the oldest child was born. he eventually became legitimized

their family dynamic is shaped around a scornful & unforgiving father and an extremely cunning & manipulative mother. none of them are very close to one another. lord junwon’s death ( many are skeptical of lady minji and believe she brought him to his untimely end ) was truthfully mourned by everyone but his own family. whether it was his mother or not, hyeseong believes the man got what was coming to him.

the passing of the youngest daughter, yunha, should’ve been something he felt strongly about, but it was something he instead learned how to push down and tuck away. 

overtime it seemed lady minji only became more and more cold. if that were even possible. she was excellent at convincing him that everything she said or did was out of love and that it would only make him stronger. the world was far harsher than anything she’d done or put him through, so he should count his blessings. he wasn’t alone in this, she was fair and gave her children equal treatment. 

he seemed to constantly be in one competition after another with each of his siblings. between dancing, bending, various fighting forms, picking up their mother’s teachings with poisons, or any independent creative outlets, there was always something to prove. it was a losing battle, and one they all tried to kill each other over. 

the pride he felt from his mother was brief, but it was there when he fully committed himself to mastering his firebending. she gave him absolute hell when he struggled to control his breathing or concentration, but overtime his control over the flame, and the balance between it and himself, became second nature. his performances showed that balance as he danced, and as beautiful as it was he would never quite reach his mother’s level of talent. something she used for that extra salt in the wound and motivation.

dancing felt more like a chore and something he was forced into as he was growing up, but he found peace in it the older he got. he found a rhythm with it and would create his own movements and dances as he went.

his life as a courtesan wasn’t anything he’d planned, and being of noble status he certainly didn’t need to venture down the path. at the end of the day his hands were too soft to be roughing it out in the military or undergoing any more training than what his family had already put him through. besides it pulled him out of the monotony of day to day life under his mother. clients and patrons funded his various creative whims. over time he filled his private room with expensive paints, canvases, jewelry, silks, tapestries, hallucinogenic teas, and whatever else he found value in.

hyeseong’s passions are fleeting and change with the seasons, but the one constant is his love for painting. he will frequently lock himself away for days to finish a piece. not many people see them and he’s not in the business of showing them off.

interactions with him go exactly how people imagine them to go. if he is anything, it’s predictable. he’s not outwardly friendly, insults people with backhanded compliments, picks at nerves in a way only he can, and is extremely confident in his abilities/decisions without having any reason to be. there’s not much of a soft spot in him for anything aside from himself, and even that is debatable. while he’s predictable, he can also be very sporadic in his decision making and values his wants and desires above all else. somewhere along the way he weaseled his mindset out of following in the line set out for him by his mother, and leaned into being the family disappointment.

heavy on the impartial stance for the rule of house yi. if it doesn’t stop him from going about his day to day life then he won’t ever see much point in putting his foot on either side of the fence. it could very well change as the political landscape changes and if those changes directly affect his wellbeing, but for now he chooses to live in blissful ignorance.

okayyyy... i think that's all i've got for now. it feels a lil messy, but i'm still pulling bits of him out of the clay. that being said, i do have a headcanons page here & a page for specific wanted plots here ( that i am still working on.. y'all caught me slackin ) for a little more insight. i'm super excited to dive into him and see what he gets into, so like this for plotting and i'll come to you!

[wvthering]

tell me about lady choi nara .  (  kim yongji, cis female, she/her  )    : ̗̀➛   thirty one years young , a firebender and lavabender from the noble house of choi . many know them to be bossy & paranoid . how unfortunate , truly . . . i’ve always found them to be caring & generous . they oft fulfill the duties of the head of the house . oh , i should tell you — they oppose the rule of house yi . well , you know how every storyteller bends the tale they tell . 

hi there! i'm lei and this is my girl choi nara! if you would like to plot, please like this and i'll come to you!

background:

oldest child of the choi house, grew up knowing that she would one day carry the house legacy and lavabending secrets, and thus was prepared by her parents for the role since she was a young child.

as a result always put a lot of pressure on herself to exceed her parents' expectations and present herself as the perfect heiress, never allowed herself to show strong emotions in front of other people, is the perfect image of what a lady should be.

because the royal house forbade house choi to teach lavabending to anyone outside of their house/royals nara has received marriage proposals ever since she was a child. many noble houses have tried to marry their kids to her as a way to bring lavabending into their family/bloodline.

her parents were adamant that their kids would marry for love, not for political reasons, but the constant harassment turned nara mistrustful of other people.

became a firebending instructor and quite liked the role until her parents died within months of each other recently, so she had to step down to become the head of the house.

still teaches lavabending to any royal who might want in between her duties, but has started to pass along the teaching to her youngest siblings so she can focus on running the house.

opposes the house yi as she believes that knowledge should be shared, and so hates that she can't teach lavabending to people outside of the choi and yi houses.

personality:

very strict and routine oriented, very rarely deviates from her daily routine.

more book smart than streets smart, doesn't have many experience in any sort of relationship due to her mistrust of other people.

caring and sweet towards her siblings, has been living the past year just to make sure they can grieve their parents' death at expense of her own grief.

secret romantic, grew up reading a lot and wants to live a love story like those of novels, but it's scared of hurting herself.

connections:

anyone who's interested in lavabending and tries to convince nara to teach them.

past relationships that didn't work out because nara was too scared of opening up to other people.

that one person who managed to befriend her.

a possible betrothed that fell through because neither had very strong feelings for each other.

maybe someone who can convince her that uniting their houses through marriage could be a good idea? she will give up on the idea of true love if it can benefit her siblings.

anything & everything, let's brainstorm!

[ignitxr]

-------------------------- ABOUT. HISTORY. RISE. HOUSE YUE HEADCANONS.

hello, I am excited to introduce everyone to my lady, yue wanning.

she is twenty-five years old, the eldest child of house yue. they oppose house yi's ruling and patiently await the opportunity to rise against the royal family. wanning joined the yuyan archery force young and rose through the ranks with time and diligence. she's the captain of the yuyan archers now and wishes to train the force until it is powerful enough to slay a dragon.

(note the dragon mentioned here does not refer to an actual dragon - she has love and respect for those intelligent beings and means only to take down the yi family.)

at home or during social gatherings, wanning dresses to accentuate her youth and beauty. she is fond of flowers and has a captivating dance that she's only shown to a few. she is also skilled with head massages, which she uses on her family members and any archers in need. the fact she is a captain does not make her forget her feminine side, and she considers herself as much a loving daughter and sister as she is a leader.

on the battlefield, she shows her enemies no mercy. due to her smaller structure, wanning is most efficient at ranged combat. she uses her agility as well as flexibility to her advantage when forced into close-range brawls and excels at stealth missions. as a captain, she is good at assessing the situation and strategizing with her archers. she cares deeply about those around her and would not hesitate to risk herself for any of her people.

a secret: wanning's health is not the best. she does not allow it to show much in public but secretly requires herbal brews daily. winters are particularly difficult for her, and she must wear many layers to retain heat. she is strict with her siblings and urges them to excel at firebending or archery for this reason - if one day she must leave the world early, the yue family must be protected.

plot ideas

a moment of leisure: a friend to spend time with. perhaps a girl who also loves flowers and shopping...has a taste for fine tea and jewelry. they can discuss fabrics, the latest fashion, and perhaps even the most beautiful people around the nation. [0/1, f preferred]

a debt owed: your character owes her a favor that must be repaid. [0/1, f/m]

a lapse in judgment: wanning falls in love with someone she should not. for max drama, I would like this to be someone from the royal family. maybe they both didn't recognize each other somehow? it could be deliberate seduction?? I am open to discussion! [0/1, m/f doesn't matter, yi house]

a friendship based on lies: you wish to be wanning's friend, not for her, but for her house's support. [0/1]

a tie that cannot be severed: wanning's childhood friend. zhao or ma house probably. [0/1]

an innocent past: our characters were friends as children, in secret. the adults did not know and therefore could not separate them. now, they are grown and must walk down different paths. [0/1, must support yi house]

I am open and ready for any political plots. we can form alliances, talk about marriage, and discuss betrayals more.

𝖆 𝖘𝖙𝖗𝖆𝖓𝖌𝖊𝖗 𝖈𝖆𝖑𝖑𝖘 . . . have a drink at my table , allow me to tell you stories — stories of dragons and burnt men . tell me about lady seok yerim . ( kim yoo jung , cis female , she/her )

: ̗̀➛ twenty-four years young , a firebender from the noble house of seok . many know them to be materialistic & manipulative . how unfortunate , truly . . . i’ve always found them to be intelligent & charismatic . they oft fulfill the duties of a merchant and a business owner . oh , i should tell you — they are impartial to the rule of house yi . well , you know how every storyteller bends the tale they tell .

hi everyone!! so sorry for being a late, tumblr was acting so weird??? like what do you mean i can't post this inro. but once again, this is maeve ( 21+ , she/her , gmt +8 ) with a revised version of our fashion lady, seok yerim ; who's now just growing more power hungry at the moment. just like this post and i'l immediately reach you to either plot in tumblr ims or in discord at your request

— mother's promised child, father's darling daughter — who is seok yerim if she's not her mother's pride and her father's joy? the daughter who's been prophesied to bring honor to her mother and glory to her father? since her very birth, yerim had always been seen as a heaven-sent child, blessed by the benevolent spirits themselves after the endless hours of prayers from lady seok who've done everything in her right to ensure the birth of another firebender into the linage, even to the point of making sure she'd given birth on ember island after one of the fire sages had advised her so. ( never mind the fact, the assumed birthdate was during a tempestuous storm striking upon the fire nation which even nearly nearly devastated the whole ember island apart )

— both lord and lady seok immediately rejoiced in her birth, knowing without a doubt that yerim was a firebender ; as she nearly once burned through her wooden cradle when a spark was ignited from her tiny fists in the midst of her thrashing tantrums whilst her wails and cries rumbled throughout the stone walls of the seok's manor in ember island. — not only she was the youngest child, seok yerim was the youngest daughter of the current head of the house, which led to her immediately being pampred and doted on beyond belief by both of her parents ( and most especially, by her father ). never has she ever been denied of anything and who would even dare? definitely not after the look of her pretty doe eyes and angelic smiles. — with her already displaying her fire prowess at only the age of 5, yerim had been sent to the royal fire academy where she had already showcased immense growth in her firebending skills to the point she'd been regarded as a prodigal firebender. even then, she'd also shown herself to be gifted in school with her growing talent and creativity in arts. in addition to her schooling, yerim herself was also still training and studying under a tutelage of scholars, firebending instructors as well as even a fire sage to hone her brilliant wits and minds to perfect. — it's been said that seok yerim was the perfect mirror of lady seok in her younger years, from her beauty to her intelligence. unfortunately, this meant lady seok had instilled a lot projection and an unreasonable weight of expectations upon yerim as she wanted yerim to only be the best of the best. her mother's controlling nature only worsened as yerim grew older, always pushing her youngest daughter beyond her limits to be the very best of the best ( even then, it wouldn't be enough for lady seok as she always wanted her daughter to always be more ) — her father on the other hand, only fed into her gluttonous appetite for pretty and shiny things as he doted on yerim endlessly with gifts and treasure, rewarding her every whims and wishes for every gained achievements. the juxtapositions of her upbringing, with her mother bearing her hungry to the world, but her father letting her gorge on her every desires only allowed her to grow a ravenous ache within her that can't be easily satiated to the point of she couldn't even stomach her own need. — under her mother's pressure, yerim decided to go along and finished her secondary education. however, during her last year of secondary education, yerim had returned with fresh scars upon her shoulder blades. ( yerim had claimed it was from a misguided use of her powers, but others suspected there was something more. )

— though even when she finished her secondary education, it didn't meant she was actually done with her own education. her parents ( especially her own mother ) had decided to invest an immeasurable amount of money in her education as she began preparing for her own career in ember island. — at the ripe age of 18 years old , lady seok yerim had exercised her rights as the direct descendant of the head of the house and engaged herself in expanding the family business. yerim who always had a taste for fashion and a talent of designing, decidedly to form an elite circle composed of the most talented dressmakers and jewelers and a build a name for herself whilst opening her first boutique in the capital. to which she, of course found immediate great sucess as the clothes and accessories were immediately sought out by the nobles and the boutique became fully booked with commissions. — golden girl, diamond divine : seok yerim was the leading lady of the high society scenes with fashionable trends ( as pushed by yours truly ) as she slowly began conquering the fashion industry whilst she expanded her lucrative business by building several branches of her boutiques scattered around the fire nation, even opening a few to the common folks. — often with the excuses of acquiring jewels and precious stones as well of other silks and fabrics, yerim often travels to ember islands where she even began to learn other skills. — unbeknownst to many and only known among a respected few, yerim had also founded an underground information guild where she not gained access to the many secrets roaming around the noble society thanks to her dressmakers and employees listening closely to the gossipy nobles in the fitting rooms, but also frequently sells them for a higher price. rumors also seemingly run amok on her possibly holding a highly confidential auction in the black market though she never really showed signs of it. — with her growing ambitions ands wants for more power, yerim now intends to enter the court possibly as a lady in waiting to the one of the princesses in hopes to gaining access and influences floating around the palace.

WANTED CONNECTIONS — currently, her connections and plots are still very much a working progress ( when has it never not be? ) whilst i write a page on them, but i have ideas and prompts that can be further expanded such as, the very princess she intends to serve ( whilst also making sure her princess serve looks ), academic rivals or rivals in general, unrequited love, ex-lovers/flings, potential customers and potential models, friends or frenemies, allies or enemies and many more! the possibilities are endless and I'm of course more than happy to just brainstorm!

♡          despite being grateful and , of course , loving her father , there is still complex emotions around the man . she had once overheard him make comments about her and her older brother , disappointed that he couldn’t firebend and she was a female .  she had never told anyone about this , especially considering it was so near to his passing , but it left her with an uncertainty – were they loved ? or was being part of a family just fulfilling pre-written roles ?

♡          for this reason , haeun is particularly suspicious of everyone . her eyes are keen and she enjoys watching people expose themselves at moments when they think is safe .  

 ♡         due to her brother’s fame and familial connections , haeun has been given opportunities to play piano at concerts . however , she avoids it as much as possible , only agreeing to when pressured by her family . she much prefers to play as support for singers or just for companions for fun .

          ♡          DIG DEEPER !           ♡         

♡          haeun has a very sweet singing voice , she loves to sing but she will never ( knowingly ) sing to another . sometimes she writes her own music , but once again , it is hidden from the rest of the world.

♡          she is a stark supporter of the house of yi , not because of who they are but because she believes the only way to prosper is to have a strong lead . haeun has an interest in politics  but would rather watch other people’s actions and reactions to see who align with her beliefs rather than be an open book in this aspect .

♡          her stubbornness is both a curse and a blessing – to her , she sees it as determination . but to those who have seen that ugly side rear it’s head , they know sometimes she blinds herself to reality to keep from herself being wrong . at least , the few that she allows close enough know that she would never give them up .

♡          her love for music transcends everything else , as mentioned it’s her true love .

♡          she grows frustrated sometimes with her firebending , as it goes against her nature – it’s offensive rather than defensive . however , she has a good grasp at it , especially as ( for the most part ) she’s got a good grasp at controlling her own emotions and manipulating them to serve her .  

          ♡          PLOTS WANTED !          ♡            

♡          childhood friends – the one person who may have heard her sing/know about her writing music (  ? ) / fluffy crush or first ‘real’ love / frienemies forever / toxic ex who brings out the worst in her / musical lover unites / people she might become fascinated with watching/trying to understand – im open to anything and everything !

have a drink at my table , allow me to tell you stories — stories of dragons and burnt men . tell me about  lord yi sangwon  . (  park jongseong/jay ,  cis male , he/him  )  

 : ̗̀➛   twenty-one years young , a firebender from the royal house of yi . many know them to be blunt . how unfortunate , truly … i’ve always found them to be reliable . they oft fulfill the duties of a lord , though i expect them to be present at the 25th agni kai as a tribute . well , you know how every storyteller bends the tale they tell .   ✶   sei , 21+ , she/her , none  .

Hello! Below you will find some important info on Sangwon as I further flesh him out in the coming days (busy time of the year, so I’m a bit behind on things). You will also find a few wanted connections or plots if interested. Can’t wait to get started writing with you all! Simply like this post and I will dm you to plot.

Yi Sangwon is part of the Crescent Island family and is the youngest child of 3 siblings.

Being a noble child always comes with expectations. Sangwon has always been told how to behave and what to do. Sometimes he feels more like a puppet than an actual person, and that is one of many reasons why he volunteered as tribute for house Yi. He is trying to break free and choose a path for himself.

Sangwon has always been rather cold on the outside, having a hard time showing emotions and the like. He prefers to keep a safe distance between him and other people. The only people he shows a softer side to are his siblings. He might not always tell them, but they hold great significance in his life. Which is also another reason why he volunteered. The final push for him to actually apply as a tribute came after Sangwon found out his sister would be a tribute. He decided to volunteer immediately after, wanting to prevent his brother from being chosen too. 

Although Sangwon is a skilled fire bender and well acquaintance with arrow and bow, he is still very young and has much more to learn. However, he believes he can win the 25th Agni Kai. Sangwon is confident in his abilities and winning is one of his main goals because this could be his chance at proving to everyone his worth, but also to make a name for himself that exceeds the one already set for him.

WANTED CONNECTIONS AND PLOTS

A deeper established relationship with members of house Yi. (especially with his siblings please I beg,,,)

A really close friend who Sangwon grew up with. They share the same interests and are practically inseparable. This person knows Sangwon better than anybody else does and has been witness to Sangwon’s much softer side.

His mentor. It would be nice to explore this dynamic and perhaps form a closer blond that might be rough on the outside, but deep down has a more caring nature, even if not directly displayed.

Current or Ex lover/crush(?). Something more romantic. Though, Sangwon has a hard time expressing intimacy. Perhaps this could lean more into something angsty, maybe even toxic, depending on their dynamic. There could have been a fight over him volunteering as a tribute because he might die. I’m open to anything really as long as there is a heavy plotting involved for this connection.

Enemy or Rival. Sangwon is quite competitive and due to the fact he is rather cold and appears slightly arrogant people tend to misunderstand him and his intentions. So having an enemy or a rival wouldn’t be unusual for someone like Sangwon.

I’m also open for any event plots!

𝐒𝐏𝐀𝐑𝐊𝐘 𝐒𝐏𝐀𝐑𝐊𝐘 𝐁𝐎𝐎𝐌 𝐌𝐀𝐍 , cue part two! if you haven't guessed it yet from another sokka quote- hi it is helia again here with my second muse ZHAO YUANKAI !

very much like seryeong, i give you all but empty pages and measly intro! a small plots page with general connections is available. nevertheless, please feel free to read the below and give this a like if you'd like to thread or plot some connections!

: ̗̀➛   twenty-nine years young , a firebender and lightningbender from the noble house of zhao . many know them to be barbaric . how unfortunate , truly . . . i’ve always found them to be invulnerable . they oft fulfill the duties of an army captain , though i expect them to be present at the 25th agni kai as a spectator . well , you know how every storyteller bends the tale they tell . 

tw: mentions of death

PRESENT

born into the zhao family, yuankai was always surrounded by the belief that strength was the most important thing following honor. the ability to fight and lead was only ever a chance given if one could prove their strength.

yuankai is the person that he is today because of the blood, sweat and tears he's put into every step of his life. every decision - every thought - done so with perfect and planned execution. he turned good into great, and great into grand.

those who trained alongside yuankai in the army knew him to be push limits. however, things changed drastically following the death of his betrothed at age 22. watching your fiance lose not only their honor but their life in a tournament wasn't exactly what someone would sign up for.

after the death of his fiance, everything from yuankai's views on the agni kai to his demeanor in every aspect of life changed completely. he became ruthless. rose through the ranks and pushed to extremes earning himself a hell of a reputation.

PERSONALITY

he's a pretty aloof. has a rbf and the cold personality to go with it but in all honesty has chilled a lot in comparison to his younger years.

what that means is he kind of jokes actually! through sarcasm. but it's very deadpan. everything about him is pretty deadpan tbh.

when it's not work related, yuankai is pretty amicable (as much as he can get). if it's anything work related though, yuankai becomes 'all work and no play'.

PLOTS & CONNECTIONS ( copied from plots page )

yuankai is ruthless. a cold blooded killer. they say nothing in the empire goes unnoticed under the hawk eyes of the military. don’t you say, you should be a little more careful about the things you do in the dark ?   ( someone being suspicious )

he has no choice but to be a spectator. after all, the games are a revel for everyone to enjoy are they not? however, yuankai is far from fond of the tournament after losing not only his sibling but his past fiance as well. how pitiful for you .   ( a tribute )

the way that he is, yuankai is often misunderstood. a moment of sarcasm flies over heads and a moment of seriousness is misinterpreted. not that it’s your fault - after all, no one is really able to discern the difference in the two when yuankai expresses them. but here you are and here yuankai is, wondering why you stood him up for the dinner he invited you to .   ( a friend or acquaintance )

𝖒𝖞 𝖋𝖎𝖗𝖘𝖙 𝖌𝖎𝖗𝖑𝖋𝖗𝖎𝖊𝖓𝖉 𝖙𝖚𝖗𝖓𝖊𝖉 𝖎𝖓𝖙𝖔 𝖙𝖍𝖊 𝖒𝖔𝖔𝖓 , aaand cue! hello everyone i am helia and quite late to the party but here i am to introduce to you all crown prince YI SERYEONG ! he is a big wip but i promise he's got cool vibes.

everything i have for him is extremely bare but i do have a small plots page up with a few listed general connections? if you'd like to write or brainstorm a pre-established connection with seryeong please give this a like and i will slowly saunter into your dms!

 : ̗̀➛   twenty-eight years young , a firebender from the royal house of yi. many know them to be calculating . how unfortunate , truly … i’ve always found them to be gallant . they oft fulfill the duties of a prince , though i expect them to be present at the 25th agni kai as a mentor . well , you know how every storyteller bends the tale they tell . 

PRESENT

seryeong is going through some spiritual stuff! he's always been deeply aligned with the beliefs and traditions of the royal family. in fact, so much so that he was completely ready to take place as one of the tributes for this year's tournament. something he had looked forward to for years but there was a shift in his dynamic with his dragon that changed everything during the process of his considerations.

his decision and desire to become a tribute hurriedly wavered and seryeong was faced with a lot of different truths and realities from different perspectives he had never had. in a moment's hesitation, he choose to become a mentor instead to fulfill a part of the wish to partake in the tournament somehow.

seryeong has lived a pampered life. privileged maybe, but nevertheless pressuring and overwhelming as well. things always came naturally to seryeong which has made life easy to navigate but it's also taken away a key thing - his identity.

from his role as the crown prince to who he is as an individual, seryeong seems to be the pillar and image of what everyone would expect a crown prince to be. but in building that pillar, seryeong doesn't quite realize how hard it's been to hear his own voice amongst all the hundreds of voices that speak to and for him.

PERSONALITY

at his mature age, seryeong is having some trouble with identifying his true self right now but he's pretty resilient through and through.

has great energy, and a pretty playful personality in comparison to what most seem to hear about the 'serious' crown prince.

he's pretty friendly all around but don't mistake that for trust or kindness! those are lengths that people really have to travel to be able to genuinely receive from seryeong. even then it's a little hard to tell who seryeong considers a 'true' friend when it comes down to it.

PLOTS & CONNECTIONS ( copied from plots page )

it’s easy being crown prince. on the flipside, it’s not always easy being yi seryeong. especially when it’s been drilled into him from his first waking breath that one day he was meant to lead an empire. remind him that he still belongs to himself every blue moon , won’t you ?   ( a close friend )

during seryeong’s free time, he typically requests being left completely alone. in a quiet fashion, he dawns a new face with a painted scar and walks along the citizens with an unknown identity. it’s mysterious isn’t it? how scarce the scarred man you know is .   ( a friendly acquaintance )

his eyes never quite seem to meet yours. but he’s far from shy. there are more things on his mind than a companion to have by his side. maybe he’s lost to the comfort or blind to the potential. if he hurts you, it’s never truly intentional .   ( a romantic interest , f )

family and relatives

(  aespa's yoo jimin (karina) ,  cisfemale , she/her  )    : ̗̀➛   twenty-five years young , a firebender from the noble house of choi . many know them to be fanciful & unambitious . how unfortunate , truly … i’ve always found them to be softspoken & dutiful . they oft fulfill the duties of a healer . oh , i should tell you — they oppose the rule of house yi . well , you know how every storyteller bends the tale they tell .   ✶   sky , 21+ , she/they  .

please welcome house choi's middle child (along with her twin), choi aera! contrary to the tendency of her house of learning lavabending, she preferred to focus and hone her bender abilities into the healing field instead of the combat one because she's the support type of character through and through (she really really really doesn't want to be sent to the battlefield and fight if house sungold or house yi ever makes them fight, help), thankfully the universe smiled at her and, even though she isn't the best healer you'll ever meet, she can do her job quite alright! under the cut more info about her past + personality and a couple of plot ideas!

choi aera. 25 y/o. firebender & healer. awakened her bending abilities at 10 y/o and as much as it was fun to incorporate fire bending into her daily life and how much she learned about herself in that process, she doesn't really enjoy the combative part of bending.

half because she does value peace and half because she isn't really good at conflicts especially when they end up getting physical (which is super ironic considering she's from a military house); hates the idea of getting hurt but also honestly would give up a limb if it meant she didn't have to go through an agni kai.

likes to daydream about a lot of scenarios in this very "seeing the world through rosé colored lenses" type of way and sometimes can even seem like an airhead, even more so with how softspoken she is; daydreams about some noble from another house coming to sweep her feet away at least five times a day, dreams of saying goodbye to her family (or even the fire nation) to live her own adventure another ten times but honestly lacks the courage to really do so.

in the end she likes the comfort and familiarity of what she already knows too much to really abandon it for the unknown. but it doesn't mean!! she won't enable others to chase after their own dreams no matter how unrealistic they are!! yes, @/head of house [redacted], go elope with that [redacted] commoner, aera will be rooting for you!!

loves loves loves to live vicariously through other people so pls tell her everything while she does a check up on your chi paths!!

does a lot of wishful thinking too, in this "everything will be alright in the end and if it isn't ok yet then it's because this isn't the end" way.

wasn't really the troublemaker type when growing up and much more like the good kid that wanted to be praised by her parents especially, but she liked fairy tale/fantastic sort of stories since then. i imagine playing pretend with her was super fun because her imagination was wild.

grew up as a mommy's girl through and through, going out of her way to spend time with mom when she was still alive (from unprompted and not so unprompted tea time, to bringing books so mom could read to her or asking to be taught this specific fire bending technique, etc etc) and showing off her results to her was motivation for aera to work hard 99% of the time; so it obv hit aera hard when she died, much more than her dad's death did (oop).

for the longest time she thought that she could've done something to prevent their deaths and that's why she almost started studying to be a doctor instead of a healer; still got into the study of herbs/potions for a while but she's no expert in neither of those areas; she knows the basics and that's pretty much it.

her mourning is mostly over at this point, but sometimes it still hits her very hard; that also made her mature a lot pretty quickly and now she keeps most to her more dreamy part of her personality to herself or to the people she lets in her inner social circle because she also closed herself off a lot more even though she does seem as friendly as ever.

overall a very sweet girl with sweet dreams but zero backbone (and actual desire, i guess) to chase them!

doesn't really like house yi because she feels they put way too much pressure/restraints on her family due to their ability to lavabend and wished that a "kinder" royal family ruled them instead.

wanted connections

fave client ! someone who always has the best stories to tell while she does her work on them. regardless of whether they're true or not, she's always looking forward to work for them because it means she gets to hear what adventure they got (or will get) themselves next!

childhood/teenage friends ! someone that not only knew aera before the tragedy with her parents but also was close to her and saw firsthand how the light in her eyes dimmed with what happened. someone that she feels like she can count on to this day or maybe they drifted apart at some point for some reason and now they're trying to reconnect (successfully or it's just very very awkward)

crushes ! she's much more in love with the idea of love (esp one that comes straight out of a love story) more than anything else + is very weak to good looking people so she gets infatuated with anyone pretty easily. i imagine she has an endless list of people she crushed on (but then falls out of it very easily too); people she's more in love with the idea of them than the person themselves.

the one that got away ! talking about which!! someone that she was in a relationship with but then it never got too far for any reasons— aera's immaturity with actual love, the other person's own shortcomings, maybe they were right for each other but met at the wrong time, etc etc, but it's still someone that she keeps in a very special spot on her heart, making her go wild with what ifs in her head. the one she'll always love (maybe in a first love or that one special summer affair sort of way) regardless of anything else.

older sibling energy/knight in shining armor ! as much as aera reaches out to look after people, she also has this energy of can't be left alone (affectionate but also a little derogatory). aera just feels like someone who'd fall for scams every and anywhere with how easily she genuinely believes that this really random guy is part of the earth nation's fallen royal family and traveled all around the world to hide themselves while collecting wealthy and knowledge so now they're looking for a new spouse to rebuild their dynasty with. basically someone who can't help but feel protective over her.

this is everything that i could come up with but i'm always open to brainstorm any and everything!!

[wvthering]

tell me about lord ito suguru. (  arata mackenyu, cis male, he/him  )    : ̗̀➛   twenty-eight years young , a non-bender from the noble house of ito. many know them to be impatient & egocentric . how unfortunate , truly … i’ve always found them to be brave & honest . they oft fulfill the duties of a member of the royal guard . oh , i should tell you — they are impartial to the rule of house yi . well , you know how every storyteller bends the tale they tell .   

this is my second muse, suguru (take a guess at which anime character he was named after). if you'd like to plot with him like this and i'll come to your dms!

background:

second child of house ito and the family's black sheep ✌️

a non-bender and lord ito was not happy about it, and thus never bothered to hide it.

grew up closer to his mother, who was also a non-bender, and as a child was clingy and prone to scared of everything, prone to crying at the smallest things.

forced by lord ito to learn martial arts from a young age. mother decided to teach him how to fight using the two sword style (her family was a known clan of swordsmen and she was an excellent one).

mother dies when he's 12, starting a very dark period in his life in which the only thing that held him together was learning how to become a swordsman.

is pretty much left alone by lord ito and his second wife (who he marries less than a year after his first wife dies) and prefers it that way.

grows up raised by servants and fighting masters and thus has more appreciation for them than for most of his family.

inherits his mother's swords, peace keeper (black sheath) and heavenly punishment (red sheath) and joins the military for a while before becoming part of the royal guard at age 25.

impartial to house yi, couldn't care less about who sits at the throne and is only part of the royal guard bc he has to deal with less people than at the military.

personality:

expects the worst out of everyone at all times and can't see genuine goodness in anyone.

used to being looked down upon due to being a non-bender, so he isn't the nicest person towards firebenders.

tends to be nicer to women (or at least less rude).

it's a open secret that his father kept a mistress (who later became his second wife) throughout most of his marriage, and suguru still blames himself for being born a non-bender and in his eyes causing his father to cheat on his mother.

so touch starved it's painful, if anyone touched him with gentleness he'd probably cry.

connections:

other members of the royal guard and members of the royalty!! let's brainstorm!!

drinking buddies! when not on duty suguru can be seen at local bars (he rarely gets drunk)

childhood friends who may or may not be in good terms

one best friend

anything and everything! let's brainstorm!

[waxdance]

have a drink at my table, allow me to tell you stories—stories of dragons and burnt men. tell me about seok yebin. ( krystal jung, cis female, she/hers )

twenty eight years young, a nonbender from the noble house of seok. many know them to be unsympathetic. how unfortunate, truly … i’ve always found them to be witty. they oft fulfill the duties of an investor, though i expect them to be present at the 25th agni kai as a spectator. well, you know how every storyteller bends the tale they tell. ( lea, 21+, she/hers )

hello! i have a brief rundown of yebin here along with some wanted connections. feel free to reach out if any of them pique your interest, otherwise just like this post and i'll run to you with some ideas!

about

lady yebin, the second child and eldest daughter of house seok.

grew up wanting and having it all, which amounts to a nonexistent work ethic and zero sense of responsibility.

she makes up for it by having a keen sense of intuition and being business savvy all around. it's about working smart not hard.

her lack of firebending abilities was a sore spot during childhood, but it's not something that bothers her these days. it is what it is.

currently a seatwarmer shareholder/investor in some lucrative offshoot investment company under the family mantle. whenever she does manage to show up to meetings, she's there for about 10 minutes max to dish some ideas, say aye or nay to business proposals before she dips. leaves the rest up to her assistant seokmin (npc) to deal with.

dabbles in all sorts of vices in her free time, gambling being a big one. i imagine she'll be holding a betting pool or two for this year's agni kai.

i also imagine the elders in the house frown upon her lack of ladylike discipline but it's bold of them to assume she even cares lol

not to be confused with being rebellious/wanting to be rebellious by the way. she enjoys the privileges of being part of the family far too much to stray from their basic expectations.

upbeat, charismatic, and has a way with words, but also has an air of being deeply unserious. kind of like gojo. here for a good time, and not a long one.

plots

foil — playing opposites. someone who's prim, proper, and hardworking. they either clash or they make for unlikely friendship or perhaps...both?

silver spoons — fellow nobles in the same age and tax bracket that have known each other since young

house of cards — partners in crime, mostly figurative. could be literal too for the fun of it

flame — firebender that she was jealous of from the nonbender pov and either you knew and rubbed it in her face or you were oblivious to this envy

chosen one — the tribute she's putting her money on this year

hierarchy — old vs new, respectability vs the lack thereof, mutual annoyance and exasperation

xi — of the handful of romantic entanglements, the single what if that she entertains from time to time. alternatively: she's your what if. anything goes

none of the above are set in stone, and i'm open to brainstorming as well if you'd prefer that for preestablished connections along with the event! my discord is @adderfalls

𝖆 𝖘𝖙𝖗𝖆𝖓𝖌𝖊𝖗 𝖈𝖆𝖑𝖑𝖘  …  have a drink at my table , allow me to tell you stories — stories of dragons and burnt men . tell me about princess yi yuri .

: ̗̀➛   twenty-five years young , a firebender and lightning bender from the royal house of yi . many know them to be prideful & vindictive . how unfortunate , truly … i’ve always found them to be compassionate & scrupulous . they oft fulfill the duties of an army general . oh , i should tell you — they support the rule of house yi . well , you know how every storyteller bends the tale they tell . 

i suck at intros but this is me trying ;; hi, hi ! the name's min ( 25+, she/ her ) , and i bring to you the audacious prodigy that is princess yi yuri. you can find details about her and wanted plots under the cut. it will likely be updated as plotting and developments happen. hit the like and i'll come plot~

the princess was a babe born kicking and screaming, her cries echoing down the halls. the very day she came to this world, she made her presence known, perhaps the only time she had done with her voice.

her birth, perhaps out of love, or a contingency should things go awry with the heir apparent, was never something yuri had questioned. she could not care less of things that she cannot control, only that she is here. only that her existence served not for her own, but for someone else's — her brother.

her relationship with her father is civil at best, with the occasional acknowledgements and proud looks, but never truly warm. the fire lord only had eyes for his son, his people, and power. her mother was kinder to her though, caring and doting like a mother should be. and makes an effort to be understanding of her daughter's... oddity.

as a member of house yi, yuri is nothing short of perfection. the young girl seemed mature for her age, needed minimal supervision and fended well for herself... or so most people thought. the attention and acclaim placed on the princess was always at the expense of someone, she was stronger, faster, smarter... one evening, the fire lady, while spending some quality time with her daughter asked if it was necessary to point out others shortcomings when she need only boast her own. the young princess, void of any expression, says calmly, "how will they know what to improve and become better then?" not even a trace of empathy or remorse.

as though set up for greatness, named in honor of the avatar yuha, the princess exceeded what is expected of her. already a prodigal firebender who wields blue fire, she became the youngest known lightning bender in history at only nine years old. many believe that the ability come so easily to her as manifestation of her cold-blooded nature, with lightning often described as ‘cold-blooded fire’; that she is ‘cold-blooded fire’ made flesh. a reputation she possessed to this very day. HOWEVER, a trip to the spirit world took her ability to bend lightning, and gave her complete immunity to fire.

ironically, yuri has an enduring fascination for flowers growing up. curiosity probably started when her father called her his 'little fire flower' and it stuck. she has read a great of deal about them, and has been making as much time as she can to find and see them in person. has this habit of picking up a bunch and giving them to her mother, suho, and her cousins. unfortunately, she's not very upfront about her little guilty pleasure. when not in her typical uniform/armor, she can be seen with floral ornaments in her hair [x][x][x][x].

over the years, she has been proven to possess all the desired qualities a fire lord must have, a scrupulous leader, superior fire-bending skills, and military prowess. should war or chaos break out, the citizens trust and are confident in her abilities to defend and protect them despite her unkindly and ruthless reputation amongst their rank. no dared question her promotions, yuri had the abilities to show for it. from the day she joined the military after finishing primary school, to this day, she had proven there was no privilege or special treatment needed to be where she is.

when not covered with sweat and grime from training or practice, yuri possess soft, feminine features. a face, as her mother teases, that anyone will go to war for. to the princess, it is but another tool to use to her advantage.

cunning, and politically astute, yuri is admired and equally feared by the court. whispers dare say that the princess is a more suitable heir to the throne than her older brother. there have been rumors passed between servants of noble houses pledging their support to the young princess. a rumor that yuri, herself, dismisses; even calls it a farce not worthy to be deemed treason. after all, the princess is loyal to her family and her brother.

among all things though, the princess loves to fly on dragon back. she spends a significant amount of time with her dragon, black fire. while the princess's blue fire burned brighter than the sun, black fire is pitch-black all over, from his horn down to this claws, even the fire he breathes is black with shots of red and orange, and when spread, streaks and smears of vivid red can be seen on his wings. his eyes, however, his most prominent feature, menacing red, matches his childlike temper that only yields to the princess's soft words and hands. some joke that black fire is all of the princess's unrealized rebellion and resentment, that's why he is heftier than other dragons.

wanted plots

yi family members, of course. family drama, let's go

childhood friends from other noble houses that have seen a kinder, softer side of yuri in rare occasions, and who she learned to tolerate; maybe not be totally at east with her because of her cold, dismissive nature but maybe out of habit or orders from the head of house, they spend time together

the supporters who believe that the princess is a more suitable choice than her brother, always at her ears, egging her on; some take her word for it when she denies, while others know of the carefully placated desire she has of the throne and are set on making her admit it

someone who owes a favor to the princess who is adamant on returning it immediately to cut ties with her because of her reputation; or someone she owes a favor to and she wants it over quickly, because she does not like the idea of being indebted to someone .

a small group of people who are loyal to her, don't have to be friends with each other either, just with the princess. a sworn protector maybe? not that she needs protecting, but you've grown quite fond of each other, a readily available sparring partner, an equally talented fighter; someone the princess can trust, and trusts her back

a suitor or partner? someone trying to win her over for political purposes. she wants to at least have some control over who she marries or gain something substantial from it, if it does come to that. she's willing to negotiate terms too think margaery tyrell or cersei lannister. have at it at the heartless princess lol

if none of that tickle your fancy, we can always brainstorm and come up with something fun and interesting.
