Dragon Prince OC Compilation Post
It's been too long since I did this and I don't have all my stuff in one place anymore, so this is my fix for that. You all get to see it too because it's the easiest place to compile these things.
Starting with
The Moonshadow
Arethis
Runaan's deceased mother, whose horns should be a similar style to his, but stained purple instead of pink. The marks on her forehead also fuse with the ones on her cheeks, and the ones on her jaw fuse under it into the one on her chin. Her shoulder marks are moon sigils like his, or rather Runaan's are like hers were. She was a dedicated, serious woman who nonetheless had a soft spot for those with more open kindness than herself. She was an assassin whose sense of duty outweighed her love.
Reldaar
Runaan's deceased father, who passed away twenty years after his wife died out of grief, and finally making peace with the idea that his son would be okay even in her path. He was a gardener with a soft heart and an admiration for Arethis' discipline and sense of duty. He disliked that Runaan became an assassin, though he offered Runaan his physical support anyway, loving him too much to get in his way. He disliked Ethari even more, seeing a shred of himself in how much this smith loved his son and fearing that Ethari would drive Runaan to pour ever more of himself into his work, as Reldaar had watched his wife do, and end up dying as well. They made their peace after he realized Runaan was pouring more of his life into his love instead, but that was his last great fight before he let go. His horns should be shorter to be proportionate, and his top isn't quite proper Moonshadow vibes. His horn stainage was green. Ignore how his eye markings changed, I forgot that HF had updated with the smaller marks for lashes and fixed it.
Elathin
Ethari's father, a smith who specialized in jewelry and tokens. He gave up the smithing aspect after an illness took his sight when his children had grown up, and switched to wire work he could do with his bare hands. He was a friendly, magnanimous type with an infectious laugh and relentless charm. He's also quite tall for a Moonshadow elf, nearly as tall as Runaan at 6 feet, though he doesn't quite match his 6'2" Sunfire elf wife. He took up trading at Moonshadow Market to get his social interactions in, more of a people person than most Moonshadow. As usual, his horns are a tad oversized and too textured, but the blue stainage correct. All the little markings around his brows should probably be fused into one or two lines, though I like the triangle at his hairline and the longer marks on his cheeks. His hair also doesn't have nearly enough volume for an elf, but I did my best.
Selene
Ram's late mother and Keeper Lyrennus' wife, Selene. A confident, steady woman with an incredible well of patience. She tended to be a mediator, who preferred not to argue herself. She had her own beliefs and was steadfast in them, but she simply didn't engage with arguments unless she had to. She was a steadying force on Lyrennus, and by the time they had a child all she had to do was give him a certain look to have him pause and think through whatever was causing him to lose his temper, which was usually all it took to calm him down. She was kind, and this ability to calm and provoke thought was one she carried over to most people in her life. Ram got a lot of his looks from her.
Maien
Hadan's mother, a village guard with a strong sense of justice and a tendency to be loudly opinionated. She met her Earthblood wife at Moonshadow Market, annoyed by how the woman's alleged partner was treating her, and fought with him over it. Previously, I had hc'd that she essentially "won" Virga off him, but with new knowledge gained from combing through frames of Season 4, I've concluded instead that Virga just came back the next year and chose to stay because Maien impressed her. Maien's also a trans woman. Horns should be somewhat shorter and less textured but stained purple.
Elyrin
The husband of the assassin Andromeda. Elyrin is a charming bard with an inner light and joy that he tries to share through music, though he's also a master at wordplay and can bring audiences to tears with sheer devotion or grief (vibes of Joey Batey, music and voice of Hozier). He's always wanted to be a dad, and was relieved to find out Andromeda felt the same about being a mom. He caught feelings first, but was too nervous to do anything about them until realizing Andromeda had them too. They grew up together as part of the same pride of Mooncubs, so they know each other's whole story from the beginning. He was also the first OC of mine to spawn artwork from @Lithuiwen2016, as I recall, which can be found here on their blog, and here on mine!
Verace
Verace, who grew up alongside Ram as part of the same pride of Mooncubs. Verace was the eldest of the pride, two or three years Ram's senior. He's a charmer and a flirt with no particular attachment to his gender, though he defaults to whatever people perceive. The marks on his cheeks and eyes should start as one at his temples, and both might be swirls rather than streaks. Same with his arms, those circles are swirls. The lines that frame his nose trace from the inner corner of each brow down the curves of his face to meet the corners of his mustache. His horns are a tad too upright, and the growths at the base shouldn't be there - his horn shape is a lot like Ethari actually, just smaller because he's younger, and with a pale blue stain.
Anthea
Also from Ram's pride, the youngest, Anthea. She'd be 19 as of Year 0/season 1/Different Paths era, but in Moonshadow culture, would have been considered an adult for three or four years already. She's a florist/botanist who cares for the flowers around the Silvergrove and does general village upkeep. The mark on her throat should be a full moon sigil, with her arms showing waning moons (rather than the sideways circle they seem to show here), with waxing moons on her thighs. She's also a lesbian who ends up married to Sira, who will have to go in a reblog because tumblr only allows 30 images per post. Who knew.
