Lady Maelys, of house Bellwood. The only child of Augustus Bellwood and lady Aerys Valeryon. Maelys was rather a reserved child during her childhood. Disliking loud and aggresive people. Not spending much time with other people her age. As she grew up she still kept her calm nature. Eventually her father arranged for her to be married off. To a prick- I mean a prince. Prince Aerion Targaryen, arrogant and obnoxious. It truly was hate at first sight. He was everything she ever despised. She pleaded with her father to call it off. Which only brought dissapointment. The night before her 13th nameday she ran away. With her beloved horse Morrowlight. Cutting offf all her pretty hair off. Parading as a boy. Soon after she met a mysterious swordsman. Soon after he took her as his apprentice. She learned many things from him. How to fight, fend for herself and survive. Also he told her funny stories. Suddenly he dissapeared. Before he could ever knight her. Leaving all his things with her. After this she traveled alone. Later on finding out there was no Bellwood left. It just confirmed there was no one to return to. When she was 16 she felt brave enough to start in a tourney. To be specific the tourney at ashford meadows. Nothing will go wrong!!! (Spoiler alert everything will go wrong).

this is factually incorrect 😭

first off, it's concerning that I blocked the anon that told me this, yet someone w the same sentiment has come back in my inbox with nazi stuff again

either you've made an alt or more than one person believes this

BUT i am glad that this seems to be from someone who doesnt seem familiar with my drs because otherwise I would've actually had to take this seriously T-TTTTT

or at least based on some feedback, this anon is definitely not familiar with my drs

Most do not even have both blonde hair and blue eyes. I will say that a lot of them do have pale skin, but I'm light-skinned??? and I'm POC here?? this is stated in my introduction.

Most of my people and friends are not even white, let alone straight, link here to the sexualities post here. Here is the og race ask, I have since changed dani around to be fully chinese-- I just dont see her as being a part of wasia T-T ???'s isn't dead set to me, but he's at least half some kind of Hispanic, this is where his naturally darker skin wouldve come from. ALSO THE DIRE ARE THE MAIN ANTAGONISTS?????????? and they're portrayed as white???? dani is a lil diff tho but for lore reasons

The love interests are also almost all POC... I actually expected Teagan to be liked most, and thought to transition him as one of the LI's before I realized Callisto was most popular

main cast

For POC, including drself, I'm half asian/half white (bi)

Miaene is portrayed as East Asian (bi but women leaning)

Asmo (aro ace) and Azel (pan) are Pacific Islanders and blind in one eye

??? is half Hispanic as mentioned earlier (bi) he is now one of the main LIs

Dani is Asian (pan, demiromantic) she's one of the main Lis

Teagan is indian, I was looking for where I put that in the race thing, but I think I forgot to copy teagan's over T-TTTT he was originally planned to be of the main LIs

For non-POC, we have:

The Lancaster siblings, with Callisto being bi but men leaning and Asterias ace but panromantic

Straus is the only white straight man in the group T-TTT Straus does have blonde hair and blue eyes.

Anoa is white and attracted both romantically and sexually to men, but she is also romantically attracted to women

calloway is the PRIMARY antagonist, and he's portrayed as white WITH BLUE EYES

I havent quite finished making the fcs yet, but here are the ones i have done, again these are not even all the poc friends, i havent done Azel's twin yet + I have to make myself, who is canonically half asian

Nobody here is a diversity fill-in T-T

Asmo and Azel in particular are extremely important in pushing plot due to their niches and backstory

Adding on to this, it's very obvious who my favorites are if you've actually looked through the asks T-TTT

I resonate a lot with Teagan, Miaene, ???, Anoa, and Azel's presence, and I honestly feel they will be my closest friends. I miss Teagan and ???'s fucking crazy antics whenever I think about them :( AND it's only Anoa that's white. I think I'd def have fun w callisto, but my favs are def the ones listed previously

I suspect I'll be least close to Asmo, Asterias, and Straus.

Moving onto less front-and-center characters,

My roommates (link here) are also not white besides for one of them. I have only made conscious choices about race a few times-- 2 of my roommates and my dr parents. I've considered race w my dr parents for obvious reasons-- but none of them have blonde hair or blue eyes? Does dusky blue-grey count as blue eyes?? Kyrian is tan (bc he's supposed to be SEA), but Aelea is paler than him. Nat is directly inspired by my closest friend at the time. She isn't white to be white; my friend was white, so she's white + the face claim for Nat is similar to what my friend looked like.

Aihwa is asian because I thought it'd be fun to have someone else from a similar place as me talk about how life was like in Luha since I'll be growing up as a 3rd gen mixed kid

For Kahsi (pronounced kay-see), I genuinely just was scrolling for fcs, found her stunning, and thought that it'd be great to have more pretty friends

The royal family is half Asian, but it was difficult to find visuals for them that weren't terribly modern-looking. Yes they have blonde hair and blue eyes, but I dont think thats an issue????

The most important teachers (link) you'll meet are Riorson, Barou, Covington, Drakard, Khouri, and Maratov. None of the teachers has the full combo of pale skin, blonde hair, and blue eyes.

Of them, only Riorson and Barou are portrayed as white.

Drakard is portrayed as half asian, yes she does have blonde hair and pale skin, though she doesnt have blue eyes

Covington and Khouri are both black

Maratov, one of my fav teachers, is east asian, but has blue eyes

I'm starting to think that maybe this anon thinks white hair = blonde, it does not in my dr or in any of my drs T-T

White hair was actually considered ugly until Asterias surged in popularity; this is written in this post.

"White hair used to be considered unattractive, but with the Lancaster brothers' rise in popularity, white hair is now considered to be ethereally beautiful."

I said ethereal to show that it seems inhumanely pretty, like an albino animal, not... aryan pretty.

most of the heirs are a work in progress, but my fav so far is the naitou-iri house, who are ASIAN

i havent added this to the progress report yet, but even in the fairy dr, most people dont even fit the gross ass nazi mold

exhibit a (laramest's famed historical raven tenders)

i completely forgot to add jam's skintone, but jam is supposed to be pretty tan + supposed to be portrayed as half indian

this comment bothers me so fucking bad

but it does seem like you may have some weird internalized thoughts concerning race...

I am annoyingly asian buddy T-T because my dad is dead, I admit that I haven't connected to my hispanic side as much, but I am knee-deep in my mom's and I's culture. Ari could even tell you that based on our calls T-TTTT I cringe at her for wearing shoes in the house, tho I do yearn for her pasta cuz I eat it once a year max

I wouldn't consider myself religious, but I go to buddhist temples to pray with my family + I've prayed at home for good luck with incense sticks

Some fucking white ass bitch tried to make the monks walking for peace thing all about christianity and his god, and I swear I almost beat that fucker into the ground

Where do I shop for groceries? I don't think farmers markets are asian in particular, but my family has always gone to ones marketed as global for their spices and wider assortment of fruits/veggies because we can't buy, idk, fucking lotus root, taro, cassava, or japanese sweet potatoes in a damn walmart anon

Half the time it's farmers markets, other times it's asian markets. I shop at huge south east asian markets and I go to 2 different H-marts for food. I refuse to get my hair cut by a white person because the hairdresser always ends up styling my hair in a way that honestly makes me look like im abt to become mormon, but thats just me not liking the tighter-looking blowout look on me

i just went shopping yesterday actually,

WHOOOOOAAAAAA YALL LOOK HOW WHITE AND RACIST I AM AGAINST MY OWN RACE!!!!!!

*pic 1 is self expanatory, pic 2 is tofu and some kind of ginger sauce, also we restocked on natto.

I can't remember if I posted/said this yet, but Eudora's gods and mythology are based off how chinese mythology works

OH and one of my main weapons is a tessen fan. yah so white, racist, and nazi-like isn't it...
