but what if he'd laughed instead

I made Peril a Trans Girl, that's actually how Kestrel learns that Peril is alive, as during the trial, Osprey calls her firescale dragonnet a "she" rather then a "he", misgendering on purpose isn't a thing in dragon culture, even as an insult, so she gives a confused look and, by Scarlett's scowl towards Osprey, understands that it wasn't a mistake. She is also the one to injure Scarlet, burning her before freeing Glory. In arc 2, she stays around JMA and, when she learn some student just went on their own, decide to go chaperone them and see to the fact they are safe, both to prove herself trustworthy and to help Clay and his friends not loose the school they had been working to create during the first months of it's opening. Btw Scarlet used the fact she helped Peril transition (lying to her about heach Skywing queen getting 1 animus wish, which was just her asking Soar to enchant a rock to make Peril physically become a dragoness) to manipulate her, it's inspired by the fact that in French, she says that Scarlett "made me the dragonness I was supposed to be", I know it's related to her being a Gladiator, but double meanings and all that.

I am sorry I did not posted this on April 1st as I should have, I was sick af and the news of one of my childhood youtubers stopping youtube bumbed me out, and seeing the jerks over on the 1825 forums making fun of it did not help. I promise that by the end of this week the schedule will be back as normal, but for now I have to grind for a bit. So, Tsunami, my second favorite dod and pov for arc 1, she's gonna go through it in this au, between realising her mother is a terrible queen, having to keep anemone safe after she runs away alongside them during the skywing attack on the summer palace, nearly loosing Glory then Starflight to the nightwings, Sunny running away after learning they might not end the war, nearly loosing Clay, then the war going on for longer and now having to help her cousin and uncle overthrow her mom ... yeah ... ANYWAYS, she doesn't become the director of JMA because she just doesn't feel like she would do that ? So now, she does the abliet cliché and obvious job of teaching different sports and serves as a hall monitor, still at JMA obviously, also, huh, Riptide lying kind of broke any crush she might have had on him, she still forgave him and is now friends with him, but they won't end up together.

Yes, I made he/her a pov, and yes, her time as Pyrite served as a bigender awakening, he could have found out about it more nicely though. And no it doesn't get better from here since the Icewing Plague and the battle at JMA still hapens, also Snowfall becomes queen and she gets hella suspicious of him once Icicle is smuggled out of Icewing Territory, so that's also gonna be akward. She also has Pyrite's memories, which makes meeting Carnelian extremely akward because before being a spell she was a dragon and was her sister. The only member of the JMA crew he doesn't feel akward around is Kinkajou. It will eventually get better, but not during arc 2, or 3 for that matters since Snowfall's arc was moved to a Winglet- So yeah ! Girlie is struggling but not for too long !

Finally the first Icewing in this series, just took us half a month to get to that ! Our boy gets a bit more luck in this Au since he gets to stay at JMA despite his exile, his friends don't lie about what happens to Darkstalker to him and he gets three girlfriends and two boyfriends. He still sacrificed his status but is overall more happy for it. He will eventually rekindle his relationship with his cousin once Snowfall gets her development arc, and possibly with Icicle too once she's bailed out of prison and on the run. So yeah ! Winter ! Zuko but Frozen !

Sunny wasn't my favorite before her own book, that honor went to Tsunami, but the moment I was given her book, one Christmas, I fell in love with her, she ain't just a sweet wittle giwl who just wants evewyone to be fwiends ! She is willing to take risks, she understands not everyone will agree, and will work towards her goals, she doesn't start a tamtrum when her friends abandon Pyrrhia, she just decide that she doesn't have to give up. And she is overall the same in my Au, though she doesn't make her mom the queen because that couldn't have ended as well as it did in canon, she's also the official director and headmaster for JMA, because it already feel like she is in canon. She might end up with Fatespeaker.

Okay so, she's hella different from Canon, being closer to what a Sundew and Kinkajou fusion would be, with a lot of nerdiness added it, they also have a dynamic where Cricket adores and admires Sundew while Sundew, at first, barely tolerates her. She also have a complicated relationship to Hivewings, the only one she trusts is Scarab and two others of the rare Hivewings on the side of the Chrysalis, whom she was raised by, she sees the rest as needing to prove themselves, as the mind control isn't the only cause of their mistreatment (if not fullblown slavery) towards the Silkwings. I am not sure if she will end up with Sundew and Luna or Blue and Mandrake yet. Also, she grows weed along with the other plants she uses for experiments.

Qibli shares Winter's book(s), hence why we see him before Peril, Turtle and the two other povs I've chosen for this arc, if any of you have theories as to whom they are. I am not sure yet if he will be widely different from his canon interpretation or not, as I must admit I have a few troubles thinking about who he is as a person/dragon. Overall I like him though ! He's also part of the JMA polycule, which means I will have to deepen the bound he has with Carnelian, Turtle and Kinkajou, cause in canon, the group as a whole barely feels like friends.

MA GALL ! I've heard theories that we may get a book from her pov in arc 4 or that her possible disappearance has to do with her technically being the nightwing leader due to winning over Darkstalker, my personal theory is just that she just went after Glory when she realised that she was missing and didn't bother to tell anyone in her hurry. ANYWAY, in the Au we get a bit more of her, and she does become friend with Anemone during and after book 3, so no weird spell like in canon, she also serves a secondary pov during the first book of arc 2, as well as being the lead during another one. Well get a bit more about her feelings surrounding nightwings, and it will tie into her actions toward Darkstalker, since I see him as "the most nightwing" nightwing, with having both powers and the superiority complex that seem to plague the modern nightwings. How many times have I say nightwing ? Anyway, I love Kinkajou. She's getting two girlfriends and three boyfriends.

His final design is likely to vary just slightly from what is seen here, and the avatar will have his old outfit
