our tragic handsome regal polite wise gentlemanly chivalrous dragon-prince of gentle guidance with a charming sense of humor who understands his place in the cycle and takes it with grace despite having so much taken from him and being so exhausted and ancient that no one is sure if his name really is a name at all. and he loves you so much and wants you to succeed so badly, not out of a selfish wish to be free but instead because you two share a bond like no other, and will build you up yet maintain an air of untouchableness so when you do finally face him you feel like you're actually doing something unbelievable while also trying to lessen the pain of the loss of your cosmic bond by not letting you two get too close despite being the only ones who can truly understand the position the other is in. and yet is still a force of nature and lets that be shown, with potent tact that leaves you quaking in your boots and/or swooning and weak in the knees.
VS their violent visceral boyish brutal villainous hollow part-in-a-play delinquent rapscallion prisoner who thrives off of grotesque displays of power, with no name or sense of identity at all besides being the great evil you must defeat, who's so tired of his job he bullies you when you don't kill him good enough and also takes other dragons' lunch money (and "killing" him feels so hollow and meaningless and typical and boring and fruitless. because it is) (but also he still loves you profoundly despite the unnatural brevity of your time together. he knows a bond is supposed to exist that you were both robbed of and he feels that and he still loves you and wants you to succeed after you grant him a true death and tries to protect you all that he can from malevolent higher powers in his last moments. you're in this together. break the chains that bind you both with the blessings whispered with his final breath as the wind under your sails.)
