-Pillow forts are a regular sight in the golden deer dormitories. The students absolutely love making elaborate pillow forts with whatever materials they can find. Leonie has started multiple pillow fight wars that have even included students from the other houses. Lorenz often complains to Byleth about these “childish structures blocking the entrance to his room”.

-Hilda saw Ignatz painting one night and screeched so loudly that, much to Ignatz’s embarrassment, she woke all the other students up. Ignatz tried to hide his paintings, thinking they would find his art worthless, but found himself instead being showered with an abundance of compliments. Now they’ve forced him to hold weekly painting classes for the golden deers as “enrichment”.

- In these painting classes Lysithea tries so hard to make her paintings perfect, but ends up making everything just too symmetrical. Claude’s paintings are usually the opposite, being much too messy and eccentric. Lorenz constantly complains of Claude splashing paint on him. Leonie doesn’t really understand painting, and usually just ends up just copying whatever Ignatz is making. And Raphael has a tendency to break his brushes.

-Raphael carries snacks on him at all times in case one of his classmates gets hungry. It’s not uncommon for him to pull out a fistful of jerky and slap it on the table when the stomach of the person next to him starts growing.

-It’s also become common for Raphael to simply just... pick up other students. This usually happens when someone complains about their feet hurting. One time Claude wanted to see how many people Rapheal could carry at once, so bribed all the other students into whining until he carried them. The look on Byleth’s face when Raphael marched into class carrying all 8 students on him is a cherished memory for the Golden Deers.

-Hilda likes to hold “girls nights” where she invites Lysithea, Marianne, and Leonie into her room to paint their nails and gossip. Leonie doesn’t really enjoy the nail painting part, but she does like the sweets that Lysithea brings to share.

-Claude has earned himself the title of “late night therapist” among the Golden Deer. He likes to take nighttime strolls around the dormitory, and if he spots another student up he’ll come and sit and talk with them. Something about Claude’s comforting presence, (and the fact it’s 2am) seem to make it effortless for the other students to open up to him.

So here it is! A pre game release comic that’s also more serious than funny. 

I’m really excited for this game!

Instead of drawing an actually good piece to celebrate getting close to the release of three houses, I decided to redraw some of my favorite characters as random images I had on my phone.
