My piece for the last MCD big bang!! Let’s hope tumblr doesn’t kill the image quality bc I’m posting this from drafts and also away from WiFi >xP

(Will update w/ link if the fic that goes with it gets posted!!)

Zane has a strained/iffy relationship with the village because of often being mistaken for the real one, but eventually (with some help from Clawian and his kids) makes his own life/reputation there

Garroth even considers him his genuine Little Brother < 3

(After years of misunderstandings)

Clawian vouching for him is trusted because of their Ability to sense Souls

Zane often keeps to himself and his family, but does come out to help sometimes as a Mage of the village

(And to make sure Clawian doesn't get killed on the battlefield)

Clawian's Father's Werewolf half is from the Monster High Wolf family (their Grandfather) and Witch half from Hyria (their Grandmother)

This also makes Lucinda their Aunt

Leona's Demonic form comes from Zane's Mother, Zianna's side of the family

The Children mainly use Ro'meave to protect them from those after Clawian's family, but sometimes use Wolf when Ro'meave is even more dangerous

(Garroth vouches for them)

Clawian helped Zane come up with an alias to use when needed, based on Equestrian customs

Dionite Wolf

It's a kind of rock that's Black and White like his Soul, but it's only when needed

They'll both always prefer Zane

Dionite is what the public knows the Mage as, though most Villagers of Pheonix Drop are in the know

-

Malachi is not allowed to use his nightmare illusions on Zane

Nightmare:

His refection looks like the real Zane with blood on his hands, but the thing that actually Terrifies him are the corpses of his Partner and Children

He'd scream and go ballistic, destroying anything in his rampage

Malachi is afraid of him

-

Clawian has a Twin Brother called Shad (Shadow, not the MCD character)

His full name is 'Shadow Wolf', but Claw always calls him Shad

So that's what most people know him as

He has short Orange hair, Red eyes, slightly darker Maroon fur and a Black/Red instead of Purple/Green outfit

Unfortunately, because their family was being hunted, he was kidnapped when they were 500 years old and eventually died in a failed Shadow Knight ritual

(100 Human Years = 1 Monster Year)

His Soul/Ghost was stuck in the Nether for years until Clawian found him (1500) after being separated from her Parents and hiding in Pheonix Drop (1000)

His Soul latched onto Clawian and now he lives in their mind and the Ghost Realm

Claw is 2700 years + and Shad was around 1000 when he finally died

Shad later met Emmalyn's ghost in the Ghost Realm and eventually had a Child, their Daughter Layla

He's the reason they know the imagery of Clawian's amnesia locking their memories, he saw literal locks

Shad's magic is Red

Claw's Red/Gold hoodie was his

His Cutie Mark would be Red Speech Symbols

(Curved lines)

Though he didn't learn the full extent of his Talent until after he died

Annoying, Caring, Mature

Shad Wolf (normal/hood+mask off/T-shirt)

-

--

An Equestian Spirit who died in a failed Shadow Knight Ritual

Magic Specialty: Communication

Weapons: Sword / Daggers

--

Zane owns both the White and Black mask, he just prefers his White one

They're both hooded like Claw, to pull up and disguise himself if needed

He often works with Lucinda, he's her Nephew-in-Law : )

(She won't let him live it down)

He owns a pair of Black hanging Cross earrings

His Aura/Soul looks like a swirling Yin-Yang of Black/White Demonic/Divine energy

Normal Zane is just Black, like a Black Hole that sucks up Peoples' feelings without giving any care back

Clawian's is just Orange with magic sparkles

Shad's is a faint ghostly Red with magic sparkles

Claw's hoodie used to be the same style as their Brother's, in their Purple/Green, but has modified it over the years to look like what they wear now

Leona's prefered Weapon are Daggers, but she was also trained to use a Sword

Wolfina's Sword is more like a Catalyst, but she was also trained to use it as well

Zane and Garroth have matching handwriting

(He can forge it if he want's to > : ) )

He's allergic to Sea Bunnies and scared of hamsters

His favorite foods are 'Porktato's and Cupcakes

(Baked Potato with Barbeque Pork)

Shad's spirit wasn't unaffected by the Ritual, for a few years his mind was tainted by evil urges

His boots are also an affect of this, he used to have Trainers

When forgetting she had a Brother, Clawian genuinely thought he was an evil version of herself stuck in their head

But after awhile, he slowly started to get himself back

He can summon Shadow Knight weapons!

Mainly prefers a Sword or some Daggers

-

The first time Laurance and Shad met, Laurance thought Clawian was turned and panicked

(Zane was not free from suspect)

He was only able to see Shad because he's also a Shadow Knight

After this, Zane surprises Claw with a burial for Shad, service and all

That's where he learns his full name

(Claw only told him that Shad means Shadow, she didn't remember that yet, Zane just assumed it was like 'Claw')

-

Zane's favorite color is Pink, Claw's eye color : )

Shad's fave food was Chicken

When needing Human names, Claw would choose Aiden and Shad would be Adrin

[Ay•den] [Ad•rin]

Shad was the more careful of the Siblings whereas Claw would just go with the flow

Shad liked Writing and loves hanging out with his Friends/Family

(Even if he was mainly keeping Claw out of trouble)

Their Father has short Moss Green hair, Hazel eyes and Dark Brown fur
