#alexis mcd

I had a hard time deciding on who to do for Day 3, but I settled on Azura. I was originally gonna draw more guards for the second picture, but I got a little tired.

Note time (this time it's under a keep reading thing)

sorry just finished your alexis fic and now im curious if you had any other thoughts/hcs abt that family!!!

YOU REMINDED ME ABOUT MY ALEXIS FIC. i DO have plans to finish it at some point in time because alexis is very fun to write 🩷🩷 but i have some thoughts too!!!

i've always wanted to know what the reason for brian's betrayal!! it's something i speculate on a lot and i think it comes down to brian having resentment towards his parents for sending him away at a young age and for having another baby later on (and doting on her so much) in life. he seemed to have mixed feelings about his betrayal but was probably manipulated by zane And scared for his own life if he didn't comply (after seeing what zane was capable of with alexis).

i do think he loved alexis though, in his own way. he might've been the one to watch her take her first steps (holding onto grey wind for support) and his name might've been her first word!

he also loved grey wind a LOT. he didn't go anywhere without that dog. made sure he was well fed and groomed and given attention <3 when he had a lot of guilt for what he was doing he at least had grey wind, who wouldn't hate him in the end

grey wind lived with molly and dale until he passed away from old age. he loved molly's cooking and going for slow walks with dale (he also peed on dale's slippers way too much. or stole them).

grey wind was also reallyyyy protective of alexis and was never really the same when she didn't follow her parents when they moved :(

in their new village, dale did guard work occassionally but mainly helped with financial issues and training younger guards! essentially the things he was doing in phoenix drop!

dale had a relapse with his drinking after brian's betrayal since it's a way he deals with guilt, but!! he dramatically cut down when alexis got a little older because he wanted to see his daughter grow up properly (and to not make the same mistakes he did with brian)

mollyyyy <3 she had a very hard time accepting brian's betrayal and later alexis' decision to become a guard. she's not a controlling mother but she wanted to keep alexis safe and that caused a lot of tension between them growing up. BUT once she accepted alexis' decision she became her biggest supporter and was always asking how her training was going (and she'd ask dante too whether alexis was doing well)

she has a few of brian's old things (some toys, baby clothes and things, and his helmet) tucked away in their house. he's a VERY sensitive topic for her but sometimes if she's alone she'll get out his things and just. watch them for a while. she buried something of his with grey wind too

alexis barely remembers her brother. she has one or two memories of him but they're very blurry. she is very curious about him but learns who not to ask. she's also quite defensive of him when people try to badmouth him (especially donna) and will argue with people over it despite being quite shy

her and kyle are BESTIES <3

also molly and dale still keep in touch with corey and emma <3

Final reveal!! + art improvement

ID: A digital drawing of Alexis from Minecraft Diaries. Her name is in the top right corner with the web series' title underneath in a different smaller font. The text is dusty pink. Her color palette is in the bottom right. Alexis has slightly desaturated, yellowish-pale skin, wavy orangish-pink hair pulled into a ponytail, and pink eyes. She's wearing silver armor with a blue belt and undershirt, and black pants and another black shirt. She's also wearing a pink bow. /End ID.

You don't understand how tempting it was to give her blonde hair, but really the orangish-pink looked so much better imo.

Day five-Next generation

They're best friends :)

I don't know what compelled me to make Malachi a long haired pretty boy but I'm rocking with it
