Hi there! I'm an hobbyist artist who just wants to love my favorite characters in peace. This blog is a strict GAIUS × ALISA (Gaiusalisa) pure-love, harem-free space.
(And I also post other pairs occasionally.)
🛑 CRITICAL DNI & BOUNDARIES:
HARD ANTI-REAN SCHWARZER & HAREM:
I completely despise this character, his toxic harem elements, and his spin-offs. Do not mention him, and do not bring up any Rean-related ships here.
CHARACTER & INTERACTION BOUNDARIES:
I am extremely picky and only care about Gaius and Alisa( though I'm totally open to talking about Millium and Machias as individual characters). Please do not talk to me about other characters. Due to the severe fandom toxicity I experienced, I find it almost impossible to like or discuss any other characters from this specific series. I just want to focus on my few comfort characters here. Thank you for understanding! 💕
LORE BOUNDARY (DROPPED THE SERIES): I only finished Trails of Cold Steel II. Due to the harem writing, I dropped the later games. I only know vague later lores. This blog operates in my own Fix-it AU based on CS1 & CS2. Please DO NOT SPOIL or discuss later Cold Steel games with me.Please DO NOT SPOIL or discuss later Cold Steel games or official pairs with me. I am only here for my comfort characters and my own art. Respect my space or get blocked instantly.
💬 INTERACTION & LANGUAGE WARNING:
English is not my native language. I apologize if my expressions or translations sound a bit messy or awkward!
I am very introverted/socially anxious and not good at long conversations, but I always appreciate your quiet likes and reblogs.
✨ HOWEVER, I love Trails in the Sky (FC / SC / the 3rd)!
You are very welcome to chat about the Sky series with me! But I played it a long time ago, so my memory might be a bit bad and I might forget some details, sorry about that! I am a bit slow to reply, but I'm happy to listen. 😊

Hufflepuff Quidditch Team /- Design Log & Backstory
(Sorry for my poor English. I tried using translator to express my idea, and my wording might be a little bit messy, I felt sorry if it makes you feel confused 人(_ _*).)
A massive dump of my HP OCs.
In this AU, Quidditch is a declining, almost dying sport with zero funding. The Hogwarts Quidditch pitch is basically an abandoned, overgrown heritage site .To afford new broomsticks and save the team, they formed a chaotic indie rock band to busk around the UK during holidays(???)
*P.S. Maybe some of you might find two specific color palettes in this team extremely familiar...Yes, I am a mad fandom fan who is trying to project my favorite ship onto every single AU possible ε=ε=ε=ε=┌(;￣▽￣)┘
(...They are playing some invisible instruments, very magical, right? This is definitely not because I couldn't draw instruments（；^ω^）)
(For those who want to know more about these Hufflepuffs)
(Note: All the concept drawings are right below! Detailed character descriptions are at the very bottom of this post.)
Childhood doodles & some team interactions.
Random sketches and profile doodles from my paper notebooks.
Here are some of the first-edition characters and our uniform evolution. To be honest, I sketched a ton of different versions, but these are the only ones I could dig up—specifically the 1st, 2nd, and the latest 5th generation.Also included the 3-view head turnarounds for Lillia, Adorn, and Morgana because I literally ran out of stamina to draw the rest of the team.
The last one: A quick height & size comparison chart, I added a green scan filter to make it less embarrassing for me. Disclaimer: This chart is for canonical height reference only. C= C= C=(っ°Д°;)っ
——————————————————————
Here is the (Not finally confirmed) official roster with heights and positions, so you can match the names with the sketches.
Gareth (6th year/179cm±): The Captain / Chaser. The guy with slicked-back hair. He looks like a model student—and personality-wise, he actually is—but his grades are just average. He and Morgana went to a Muggle primary school together. He is a very talkative person and brings the team together by his continuous nagging. (He styles his hair back just because he looks way too ordinary when it's down)
Morgana (6th year/180cm±): The Vice-Captain / Keeper. The girl with grayish-black hair. She is Gareth's neighbor and childhood friend. She's the heroic type who always stands up against bullies, so she often got into fights and ended up being scolded by teachers. Gareth just didn't want her to get punished all the time, which is exactly why he started his lifelong habit of nagging her. She is a cool and chill girl, and the absolute anchor of the team—while the Captain just nags, she is the one who actually keeps everyone in line when things get chaotic.
Felix Fox (5th year/188cm±): Beater. The guy with bright orange hair. (Definitely NOT a Weasley) He played basketball since he was a child. Though he has sharp, fierce-looking eyes, he is essentially a golden retriever puppy. He is all about wits and instinct—so full of instinct that every time he actually tries to think during exams, he fails. (When Fox thinks, Merlin laughs) He loves wearing flashy, colorful sportswear. Taliyah always roasts him, saying he looks like he crawled out of a paint bucket, and asks if he's wearing so many neon colors just to act as a Muggle traffic sign at night. However, he and Taliyah always team up to gossip about Linus' terrible fashion taste.
Linus (4th year/176cm±): Chaser. The guy wearing glasses. He looks very stern, and his stern poker face is inherited from his parents. But he is actually a gentle, overly rational, and hilariously dense guy (not a natural genius, but he tries so hard). If you try to flirt with him using subtle literary quotes, he understands the words, but he is too cautious to be sure. He will literally ask you, in a deadpan and serious way: "Are you implying something here?" Also a rookie athlete, he is too weak to win a fight against Taliyah.
Taliyah Solana (4th year/172cm±): Chaser. The girl with thick curly hair. She has Romani heritage, but her prophecy skills are actually the weakest in her family. During their summer trip, she was the main moneymaker by using her family's fortune-telling tricks to scam Muggles. She loves wearing lots of flashy jewelry and accessories. Felix always complains that she sounds like a walking jewelry rack and jokes that she's trying to win matches by blinding the opponents with her bling (though she actually takes them off during games). She and Felix also love gossiping together about Linus' old-fashioned style.
Lillia A. Vanessa (2nd year/152cm±): Seeker. The girl with golden hair. Her family is nouveau riche, known for disrupting the wizarding craft industry with cheap, mass-produced magic-infused materials. Because of this, she has a strained relationship with her mother, who is extremely competitive and views Quidditch as a brutal and dangerous sport. Lillia is a huge fan of the Potter family. She actually wanted to follow in Harry Potter's footsteps by making the team in her first year, but she failed. However, that failure helped her get to know the players early on—she spent a whole semester chatting with the Captain, so now she is completely immune to his continuous nagging. She wants to create her own miracle in Hufflepuff (just like Gryffindor has Harry Potter, Hufflepuff has Lillia).
Andorias (Adorn) G. Taran (5th year/195cm±): Beater. The guy with dark skin. He is the eldest son of a farm owner. Since his family owns a farm with tons of animals, he's been doing hard labor since childhood. This background makes him great at Care of Magical Creatures and Herbology, but terrible at other subjects because he is too used to solving problems with raw physical strength. He is big but somehow has zero presence. He used to be forgotten by people, so if you stare at him, he will become visibly awkward and clumsy. Fun fact: He is the sole, exclusive manufacturer of Taliyah's "blessed Romani handmade crafts" (yes, he weaves all of them). Because he knows how to drive, he spent most of the summer road trip driving everyone around the UK in their chaotic band van.
The Slytherin Girl (4th year/165cm±): NOT my self-insert, just a local passerby. She is a girl with a mysterious, subtle smile who tells dry jokes and is deeply obsessed with Quidditch. However, due to her terrible physical coordination and stamina, she can never actually play—so she just loiters around various teams' training grounds to watch, dropping cryptic, riddling advice just for her own amusement. She often laughs so hard at her own dry jokes that she gasps for air, leaving everyone else completely confused.
(Behind the scenes: This AU takes place in a futuristic world where magic and Muggle technology are slowly merging. Every member of this Quidditch team comes from a family with a completely different attitude toward this new era...)
is there actually a possibility that i’ve just been typing my ship's name wrong in Chinese all this time, and that's why i couldn’t find any content...? (how pathetic, feels like some kind of deathbed hallucination of a fanggirl)
going fully insane again. as long as my ship ends up together in the end, i don't care if they are written as "CEO x Trophy Wife" (though obviously Alisa as the CEO is superior), High School AUs, or even Gaius being the third wheel in an NTR plot. i will eat it ALL. do not underestimate the sheer insanity (and mental sickness) of a fan who has survived on her own trash-tier self-produced content for over a decade.
(but honestly i won't actually go search for it anyway due to some historical reasons [disclaimer].)
(fun fact: a non-gamer friend once gave me a fic for my birthday where they basically pasted the male lead's plot onto Gaius, while Alisa behaved exactly like another tsundere character that this friend personally simp for. after surviving that fic, i feel like there is absolutely nothing left in this world that can scare me anymore...)
of course, unless it's a fic that bashes my girl Alisa. i am NEVER going back to that absolute nightmare era where every time i searched for her name, it was just pure hate speech.
let’s be real here, Ozma from Ys: Memories of Celceta... blonde hair, red eyes, and dark skin? isn't that just the biological son of my Gaius and Alisa with zero blood relation?! (mental breakdown)
— i have this trails ship where the guy is an HP-sacrificing big bro character, and the girl is a blonde Tech-family heiress. they are—
— yes i’m talking about gaiusalisa…… sorry please i beg you can someone come over and take a bite of my ship (though it’s totally fine if you don’t, i have social anxiety i’m just comparing them randomly, so sorry if this steps on anyone's landmines)

"Seeing you two kissing makes me feel it's exceptionally beautiful."
"And it makes my heart so happy."
"You know,"
"I'm not a woman with bad intentions."
"I just genuinely love seeing beautiful things in my heart,"
"Things that make my soul happy."）
(Notes on the memes:)
(The first one is a Chinese drama screenshot redraw. As for the second sketch, it's a redraw based on that viral "let me kiss the bride first" wedding meme template. Honestly, I have no idea where both original screenshots are from...)
Physically impossible for me to stop breathing, also physically impossible for me to stop loving my ship.
Who knew my brain would evolve to the point where "dark skin + blue eyes + brown hair ♂ x pale skin + red eyes + blonde hair ♀" is enough to make me lose my mind.
I met a fellow gaiusalisa fan who makes endless content for them. it was a dream. 10/10 recommend dreaming, highly effective.
Fandom internet is so dangerous thank god my ship is dead silent anyway hahahahahahaha（ｉДｉ）
This idea comes from my sketch about regular-sized Gaius holding chibi Alisa. Someone said that different characters having different styles in one picture is interesting, so I decided to try it, I really love this idea because it perfectly showcases their cute size difference, so I treated the first piece as a key visual.
(Actually I really love dark skin...I always hated how the canon art makes Gaius’s skin look almost white whenever he's under strong light. So, based on my personal preference, sometimes I just want to keep him with that beautiful dark skin(I hope you guys don't mind that the shading in the following doodles is a bit lighter, because I was actually a little worried about making him too dark when I drew them, haha(´ε｀；))
After that, I suddenly thought about the canon lore that Alisa has Gnome blood. Although I've heard that in the official setting, people look totally normal regardless of whether they have Gnome ancestry or not, I still really wanted to use my chibi style to present a pointy-eared Gnome version of Alisa.
I also heard that having Gnome blood might change one's personality into a cold and ruthless one. But I'm sure Alisa won't get too distant because of her human blood and her heart of gold, So I wanted to show her as a "pretending to be cold but actually just super cute" type.
Based on this headcanon, I drew three doodles exploring the interactions between regular-sized Gaius and Gnome Alisa. And I also made a short 4-panel comic about this concept.
(Yes… the victim is always Machias...(;´・`)>)
They might be a tiny bit OOC, but I hope you like my idea(*/_＼)
Sorry for my poor English. I tried using translator to express my idea, and my wording might be a little bit messy, I felt sorry if it makes you feel confused 人(_ _*).
I redraw some sketch from my high-school(around 2014-2015). Looking at my old sketch, I thought they look really weird. But nowadays, I can't dream up ship interactions like I used to in high school, which makes me feel sad.⩌ ᯅ ⩌
Here are my redraws, I try to keep my high-school style and pose to redraw my ship ,but I changed both for the third one because I feel the original sketch was too weird(´ཀ`)...So I change it (And I found my new sketches are still weird!...I hope you will like it(；´Д｀)).
And here is my old sketch……[crawling on the ceiling]
⚠️ [TW: Fandom Toxicity / Personal Vent / Disappointed with Falcom and the main character]
The text below contains personal venting and negative feelings regarding my past experiences in the local fandom, as well as my extreme disappointment with Falcom and the hero. If you dislike negative rants or are a loyal fan of the official post-game content, PLEASE DO NOT CLICK AND SKIP THIS POST.
This is an emotional venting post from a long-time traumatized fan. I've been holding this pain in for a long time, and I really just need to let it out in a safe space. It might sound a bit messy, but thank you for listening to my story.
The toxicity in my local fandom completely ruined the whole series for me. Back then, it wasn't just the pure misogyny. Many male players treated Alisa like "property". I remember when I finished CS2, I wanted to find anyone who could get my ship, so I searched it, only to find people making disgusting jokes about her "betraying" the player just because she interacted with Gaius. Others dragged her down just to praise their own favorites, or even claimed Crow should have been the heroine. They turned Alisa into a joke or a villain just to serve their own ships. When CS3 came out, they mocked her for being "replaced".
(Of course, the reason why my girl always got those malicious comments is all because of Falcom! I extremely hate that they forced her into the "canon love interest" role, but didn't even care about her deep insecurities rooted in her childhood loneliness (with her family being absent) and the betrayals she faced later on. I think because of all this, she longs for a truly complete and stable home. I feel like no one would choose a guy who is always overly gentle to every other girl, especially someone with her background. I don't want to see her constantly worrying if her boyfriend might "accidentally" get too close to another girl, while she still has to run her business. She needs a guy who can bring her safety and loyalty—I mean, Gaius is truly her best match, period. And the worst thing is they gave Gaius an NPC mate just to keep the hero's harem "pure." That just makes Falcom and those harem fans who treat female characters like property look like a total joke in my opinion)
（About Gaius？ Oh, I'm so sorry that fewer people talk about him in my local fandom. He is just like a windy man who leaves zero impression in those players' eyes. But he definitely gave me a strong impression. I have a lot of character interpretations and headcanons I want to share, but we can discuss them in the future ( ᷇ᢦ ᷆ )）
As an introverted artist, I didn't know how to fight back. It completely ruined the game and the main character for me. Back then, I just wanted to find someone who secretly loved Gaius x Alisa, but I was only met with waves of malice. I even bought the Japanese version of CS3 right when it was released because I didn't want to wait for the translation for so long, but when I finally started playing it, I found that whenever I looked at the game title or the characters, my hands would start shaking, my heart would race, and my throat would get so tight that I could hardly breathe (and honestly, I still struggle with these symptoms today). I couldn't even finish the game and had to drop it halfway through. Yet, in a weirdly self-destructive way, I still forced myself to follow the stories of the later games by constantly refreshing live-text commentaries across different sites just to see what happened to them. After all that, I ended up staying away from the fandom for nearly 8 years just to protect myself from the sadness.
But now, I've finally gathered the courage to share my art and my ideas for them(just a tiny bit of courage, honestly). Even though no one has responded yet, I came here hoping to see if anyone in the international fandom still shares the love for my ship.
I'd like to share my sketches of Gaius from around January to March. Before then, I realized that I drew too much Alisa and I drew too much in an anime-round-face style, which made my male characters look like females...
So I spent some time trying to draw Gaius making him more manly, and here are my practice results from earlier. Some of the sketches are just him, and in some, you may find parts of Alisa. I don't know if my practice paid off, but I hope you like them, thank you.(〃∀〃)ゞ
