thank you for the ask! 🐴

1. Does your character canonically have specific mounts?

Ryan has a griffon named Askel, he was rescued by her as a cub back in Bitterfrost Frontier. Though at this point Rashmi (her gf) has claimed Askel and Ryan rides Rao instead, which is a tigris griffon she got for Rashmi but he got attached to her instead. She might have a skyscale as well? Considering the whole skyscale questline but I haven’t really thought about all that 

Nikita has. a bunch actually. Kind of a remnant of her being a ranger originally, she has two big cats (jackals technically) named Raafe and Aisha, a tigris griffon named Na'ilah which was a gift from her father and a skyscale named Ihsan, which was a gift from her brother 

2. Do you have any canon mount skins / coloration for them?

Ryan’s griffon (technically two) griffon(s) is the Clouded Corvus in off-white dyes for Askel and Swirling Mists Tigris in reds and black for Rao

Nikita’s two ‘jackals’ are the White Tiger skin with either full black dyes for Aisha or typical tiger colors for Raafe, her griffon is the Skyborne Sprinter Tigris with I think the default dyes, and the skyscale is the Glademire skin with a bunch of reds and golds

3. How likely are they to rent one versus own one?

Ryan besides her griffons is more likely to just rent one if needed, worse case scenario her gf does have a raptor as well 

Nikita evidently, more like to own one, or several lmao 

4. Are there any mounts they prefer using (or others they can't stand)?

Ryan generally prefers griffons and to an extend skyscales because of the verticality they offer, and because she’s owned a griffon for years now, but besides that doesn’t have much of a preference, whatever gets the job done 

Nikita generally prefers jackals and raptors because she’s been around them her whole life really, she’s impartial to the aerial mounts but she can appreciate their advantages and she’s getting the hang of them. She’s not touching skimmers with a 10 foot pole, nothing wrong with the creatures themselves but she’s not about to fuck with water like that (< can’t swim)

5. Do they keep their mounts stabled, take them with them, or some secret 3rd thing?

Ryan generally keeps them with her, and despite her protests, they generally all (two griffons and a raptor) end up in her and Rashmi’s bed because someone loves to spoil them
