#daenarya ask

Aww yay! Thank you for the ask! I really need to work on a modern AU. It would be fun to explore.

Daenarya's personality would be more or less the same. She's strong, confident, flirty, protective, caring, and all around a badass.

Her fashion is definitely a lot of dark colors, leather jackets, and moto or combat boots. She has a few tattoos (but I haven't decided what yet, but Mal definitely drew one of them).

I could totally see her having a motorcycle and Mal just holding onto her. He can ride too, but he'd rather be near her.

In the car they bicker over directions, Mal always insists he knows a short cut not on the GPS, but he is only about 50% accurate so they end up lost a lot. They don't mind red lights because half the time they're fooling around or making out because life's short so why not.

I still think she and Mal would open an orphanage or foster children because that is something that is core to their characters (in my opinion). Neither Mal nor Daenarya had a great childhood even in a modern AU so trying to help children avoid what they went through is something they're very passionate about.

I could see Daenarya being an attorney that focuses on child welfare and fights for rights of children.

Though, I do think Daenarya would have fun being a bounty hunter or tracking missing persons and bringing them home safely.

Do you have a comfort item? Tell us about it!

Alex Hunt:

Coffee, coffee always makes her feel better

a charm bracelet she's had most of her live that she still adds to. It's not very expensive or glamorous but it's something she holds dear

photos she and Thomas took on one of their first dates

the "love among the stars" necklace from HWU, that HWU!Alex finds, but also RCD!Alex receives it from Addison who found it.

Yay! Thanks for the ask!

3. Reading or writing? Why?

Alex Hunt:

Reading: Fourth Wing by Rebecca Yarros Alex enjoys fantasy books and she's heard some great reviews about this one, so now that she has some down time since it's Thomas's turn to work on a project (they alternate) she's hoping to catch up on some reading.

Writing: children's series about a mischievous little puppy Bogart is the bestest boy and Alex loves how much the twins adore him and the adventures they go on so she is making a children's picture book inspired by Bogart.

Olivia Lahela:

Reading: The Anxious Generation by Jonathan Haidt Olivia is reading this to better understand the rising mental health challenges effecting children to help inform her practice

Writing: Olivia is getting very close to opening Sunshine Pediatrics, so I imagine she's writing a lot of proposals

I was wondering do any of your MC‘s and or OC‘s donate to charity or are they involved in helping out at a charity? If so which one and what kind of cause do they support?

Thanks a bunch 🩷

yay! Thank you for the ask! I love this one!

YES! YES! and YES!!!

Charities and worthy causes are super important to most if not all of my characters!

Bryce has a lot of causes he helps with, but one that I've written about is him helping raise money and resources for the wildfire that burned through Maui last year. [Tides of Change] There was supposed to be a follow up fic where he goes to Hawaii for a week to volunteer as a doctor to help those in the area.

Olivia raises money for a lot of children's charities, she also organizes and runs them for Edenbrook while she's there and even after she leaves to start Sunshine Pediatrics. She also volunteers her own time and resources to organize events for the children that help bring normalcy and a little fun to their lives. [Bounce] [ Shining through the Shadows] And while not a charity, she (and Bryce) does(/do) provide a special public service of repairing patient's stuffed animals [No Patient too Small]. Every month at her Sunshine Pediatrics, she organizes volunteers to help fix any of the patients stuffed friends (for free to the families)!

Daenarya and Mal open and run an orphanage to save children from being taken in by the Thieves Guild. They also buy the freedom of other children that have been taken in. They're raising money and working to rebuild the slums of White Tower to help provide a better life for the forgotten citizens. [The Orphanage]

Both Thomas and Alex donate to many causes and charities, particularly hospitals and children's charities. After, Alex is sexually assaulted, she speaks out for survivors of assault and volunteers at a center for women. Alex also raises awareness and money for animal shelters.

Hi, Nonny! Thanks for the ask!

Please only "keep reading" if 18+ (just to be safe)

For any and all you wish to answer for

For any and all

Thank you!

yay! Thank you for the asks! 💛💛💛

Mal: Caution: May will steal your valuables. Prone to mischief. Be ware of unexpected charm

Daenarya: Warning: fiercely protective and loyal. Approach with respect and kindness. May get you out of your clothes before the end of the night. Be ware of her kissing skills, you'll never get enough.

Bryce: Warning: high energy and intensely competitive. Will challenge you to anything and everything.

Olivia: Caution: literal ray of sunshine. Use of sunscreen is encouraged. Be ware of her infectious smile and laughter. Will help you see the best in yourself

Thomas: Warning: Intensely passionate and dedicated to artistic pursuits. Perfectionist. Handle with care during stressful projects. Be ware of grumpy and slightly cynical

Alex: Caution: highly creative and spontaneous with incurable optimism. Will help you see the bright side of things.

Mal: Charming and confident, but a little aloof. Mischievous. Like nothing bothers him.

In truth: Mal is more caring and romantic than he seems. His over confidence is a front to keep people from getting too close. Once you get to know him, you'll see how much more there is to him than the roguish facade

Daenarya: cute, determined, loyal. She doesn't look imposing so those who don't know her will underestimate her strength, ability, and sexual appetite.

In truth: Daenarya is adorable and determined and loyal. She is kind and compassionate, but she is a little mischievous and enjoys harmless fun. She enjoys sex, a lot and is not very picky. She truly will appreciate everyone's body and help them love it too.

Daenarya: She struggles a lot with guilt especially when Kade got taken. She blamed herself. She's come a long way, but there are still moments she feels that guilt. Overall her mental health is good. She has moments, but she works through them with Mal, Maiele, and the children.

Mal: Struggles with his mental health but doesn't seem like it. He is definitely haunted by his past and the trauma of his upbringing. He feels like he has to prove himself every single day and he tries not to let things touch him, when he cares so deeply. He struggles with shame of not being enough and for what he did in the Thieve's Guild.

Alex: Prior to the stalking and sexual assault, she was pretty strong mentally, she struggles more after those events. She keeps a pretty private life. She sees a therapist to help her cope and remember that none of it was her fault.

Bryce: On first glance, Bryce seems put together, but he has a lot of buried grief and pain. He doesn't even realize it, he had buried it all so deep. Keiki coming back stirs it back up. He is filled with grief and shame feeling he abandoned her. Olivia helps him through it and over time she helps him heal. It's not easy and he needs to do a lot of work on his own. Rebuilding his relationship with Keiki also plays a huge part of helping him reconcile with the things he suppressed. I also HC his Tūtū (grandmother), helps him too. He was close with her prior to leaving. She would check in periodically and he was always grateful to her. Bryce did go to therapy as well. He wanted to let go of the hurt and pain he was holding on to.

Lilah: Lilah struggles with her mental health and PTSD. She feels guilt for not being able to save her father. She sees a therapist and takes medication.

Trystan: That poor beautiful prince/king/amateur detective. His family really messed him up. His mental health is all over the place. He overcompensates with his his party boy front, but is really struggling inside trying to fill the void in himself left by his toxic family.

I might add more later but for now, I think this is it! Thank you for the ask! This was fun! 💛💛💛

[BONUS] How did you come up with her name? <- it’s pretty!

🥰🥰 Thank you for the ask!!!

💔 - Does forgiveness come easily or with difficulty to this oc? Can they forgive others? What about themselves?

I feel Daenarya is fairly forgiving. She forgave Aerin when he betrayed them and she comes to forgive and have feelings for Valex. She wants to see the good in everyone and give them a second chance. Now, after the second chance, I feel she'd be less forgiving or at least it would take more time if she did decide to forgive them.

As for herself, Daenarya is definitely harder on herself. She doesn't forgive herself as quickly. She was devastated when she felt her actions led to Kade being taken in book 1. she has forgiven herself now that he is back and safe, but there are moments when she still feels guilt and is upset with herself.

🌍 - What are this oc’s religious views?

Daenarya isn't very religious. The farmer who took her in worshiped the new gods, so she did as well for a while but she fell away from practicing. Once she meets the Empress in book two, she feels even less like practicing. She finds it hard to believe in any of the gods.

[BONUS] How did you come up with her name? <- it’s pretty!

Aww thank you! I do love her name too ❤️ I kinda stole her name from Game of Thrones. It's a mash up of Daenerys and Arya. It was only a couple of years later that I found out Daenarya is actually a ship name for those two characters. I had no idea that was a ship or that was the name. I thought about changing it because I don't ship them but I do really like how the name sounds so I kept it!

Thank you so so much for the asks! I always love talking about Daenarya! 💛💛💛💛

this is an entire mood!!! Like pleaseeee!!!! 🥺 😩 🫠 I truly understand the feeling. Sometimes I'm just like we don't even need Mal. I'll just romance Daenarya lol She is just—🔥
