The Funderlic kids! Disaster twenty-somethings and cousins of Ember! All of them use they/them pronouns. As the offspring of two dragons with wildly different elements and proportions (Fire and chumby for Adena, their dam, and Ice/Water and noodly for their sire, Ronny) , they have come out delightfully weird-looking. This was heavily inspired by @spyroid101‘s art of these guys!

Names and personalities under the cut!

 In order from left to right:

Lanche-Ice-The responsible firstborn. Deceased.

Saro-Fire-The flirt. Named after a famous dragoness of old by the same name from a famous ballad. Adena regrets naming them after that ballad. Surviving the Siege of Warfang and losing their father and most of their siblings changed them. Alive.

Iglis-Ice-The pretty one. Completely destroyed the stereotype of Ice dragons being calm and stately when they were alive. Absolutely unhinged. Deceased.

Lakelet-Water-The tiny and rowdy one. Also had the personality of a Victorian Urchin despite being 25. Deceased.

Falchion-Fire-Looked like they would be rowdy but was actually a complete dweeb.Deceased.

Aden-Fire-Named after their mother, they had the personality of a warm chili biscuit. Was very pretty and knew it, and loved to flirt with the other young drakes in the area. Deceased.

Salis-Water-Mermaid girl phase but forever. Hangs out in the fountains on hot days.Alive.

Adelaide “Nanny” Shoutfire’s sister, Adena Funderlic, maiden name Shoutfire. 

Adena was always a bit of a disaster, so no one in the Shoutfire clan was surprised when she ran off with the local baker, Ronny Funderlic. Fearing the noble family’s wrath, the two of them fled to Warfang and tried to pass themselves off as a simple baker and his totally-not-a-runaway-nobledragon wife. It was patently obvious to everyone there by Adena’s Shoutfire Sideburns and pink scales that Adena was a runaway royal. They shouldn’t have bothered hiding. No one came looking for them. Adena was hilariously bad at first at attempting to pass herself off as a baker, but she earned the respect of the local baker’s guild with her strong arms, good for kneading bread.

 Adjusting to working-class life after living in the lap of luxury and being away from her family was hard, and it put serious strain on Adena and Ronny’s marriage-the constant warfare and grain shortages didn’t help-but overall, they were happy for over 36 years of marriage. Adena and Ronny had seven children together, all of whom fought in the Siege of Warfang alongside their parents.(They’re the Dragon Soldiers from DOTD). 

The Siege was devastating for Adena, as she lost Ronny and all but two of her children. Adena was devastated, but also felt...freed. She was able to carve out an identity for herself aside from “The Baker’s Wife” and she was able to connect with her sisters Adelaide and Kaitlin and her niece Ember after decades of separation. She began taking up hobbies, and joined a book club. She began interacting with Brigid, and the two are dating now.
