Hi! So I'm re-reading ITTTSP and I know that Tevar is supposed to look like (or vaugly like) the male Demon Hunter in d3 but I've been wondering what Aladria looks like, does she have an in game character she's based on or does she have her own look?
Unlike Tevar, Aladria didn't have anyone I was basing the look after. She was actually a last minute addition to the story! However in my head, she looks something like this now c:
AT ALL COSTS – The Charmed Ones (Melonie Diaz, Madeleine Mantock, Sarah Jeffery) must take on the Perfecti in order to save Mel; Harry’s (Rupert Evans) mortality journey kicks into high gear with unexpected consequences. Also starring Poppy Drayton. Joe Gallagher directed the episode written by Christina Piña and Carolyn Townsend (#314). Original airdate 6/11/21.
GUILTY BY ASSOCIATION – The Charmed Ones (Melonie Diaz, Madeleine Mantock, Sarah Jeffery) must save Jordan (Jordan Donica) from a fate worse than death, but at great personal cost to themselves; meanwhile, Harry (Rupert Evans) sets off on a process of transformation. Also starring Poppy Drayton. Ken Fink directed the episode written by Aziza Abu Butain and Sidney Quashie (#313). Original airdate 5/21/21.

Not saying much because LOTS OF SPOILERS to be had!
*jumps into a bunker*
M.C. CLEAN! Fledglings! Old Council members (and Inarius), what's the general opinion on them? How traumatised/entertained do the mortals look by the descriptions?
The screen flickers on once more and Tevar can be seen, sitting on the couch with a rather disgruntled Aladria in her bathrobe, with a cup of tea between her hands.
“Tevar...do you have to do this now? I’m trying to relax.”
“This is the only time we get to hang out together these days, what with you and Itherael practically giving each other CPR every-”
“I have a cup of hot tea and I will use it on you.”Tevar shot her a look, huffing light as he sat back, “Fine fine....so...onto the topic of this video....showing off what our darling angels looked as babies! By digging around in old storerooms of Heaven and through ingenious casual conversation, I have located the fabled portraits of their youth.”
Aladria arched an eyebrow, taking a sip of her tea, “Wait...you got baby pictures?”
“It turns out i is a rather common tradition for older angels to commission pictures of little angels and trust me, they are as adorable as you think. So I thought it would be nice to show them to our public and then compare them to what they grew up into!”
Aladria shifted some, taking another sip of her tea thoughtfully before letting out a sigh and giving a reluctant lot, “That honestly does sound kind of fun.” “See? I have good ideas!” He chuckled before turning to reach over the couch pulling forth the first scroll, “And up first, let’s look at your dear Itherael as a tyke!”
With a flourish, he unrolled the scroll to reveal a small, nervous looking angel, sitting on a stool, wings pulled tight and clutching a stuffed animal to his chest, “Our resident librarian looks like such a nervous child. The emotional support teddy bear gives that away! Wings too big, body too small, but one-hundred percent adorable.”
A close-up of the picture slid onto the screen, no done in post editing with a picture of Itherael as a proper adult next to it, “And little nerd grew into the king of nerds and here they sit upon their gamer chair throne, safe-guarding the internet and collecting all its dark secrets and porn.”
“Tevar!”
“Aladria, I will bet my life ten times over that he has seen something in his browsing of the internet that has caused a spiritual awakening and is hidden in the deepest reaches of his picture folder.”
She gave a roll of her eyes, “Not everyone is a internet gremlin like you...”
“No....some are goblins.” Tevar retorted before moving to pull out the next fledgling picture, “Next, we have Auriel who is not here but..well... given her baby portrait, pretty sure if she was, she would rule the world.”He unfurled the scroll to reveal a picture of young Auriel sitting astride a vicious baby cherubim, one hand on her hip, the other holding a streamer caught in the wind. “Her parents clearly expected her to rule the world and unfortunately, we haven’t found her yet so...no comparison picture, but given her reputation, she feels like the mom you don’t want to piss off because she will come into school, fight all the teachers, kick out the teeth of all the bullies, frighten the cops into submission and have the president pardon her of all crimes out of pure fear.”
Aladria snorted, “....you make her sound scary. She is probably just not the kind of person to take things lying down.”
“Except, you know...prime evils.”
The man yelped as Aladria kicked out of him with a scowl, “What?”“Not funny.”
“Okay okay...she was the one making the demon lord-ow!”
“One more joke like that and I’m going to get the teapot and douse you in scalding water.” Aladria warned, taking a sip of her tea, eyes narrowed.
Tevar ducked his head, grumbling as he turned around, “Okay okay, let’s move on....next we got the resident terror that sasses in the night, Malthael.”He unfurled the baby portrait tapestry showing Malthael standing their awkwardly, half hunched over and looking like the artists had barely been able to sketch out his outline before he had run. “I’ve heard he was a shy boy and a half feral angry child, born forever in his goth phase,” Tevar said as the screen showed a picture of an adult Malthael looking up from where he sat, “A goth phase that went from “I’m rebelling against society in my teenage emo phase’ to absolutely terrifying nightmare goth that hides in your closet, creeps along your ceiling and fills your dreams with dank memes.”
Aladria arched an eyebrow, “What?”
“He is very dangerous Aladria. I went down with Imperius once to talk to him, and he memed us. Imperius didn’t get it. Imperius still is living in ye old time of ancients, but I did...and I was terrified,” Tevar said grimly, “He is powerful.”
“I don’t think being able to use memes makes you...powerful Tevar?”
“Oh ye of so little appreciation of dank memes,” He drawled,”You’ll understand one day the sass he wields....and speaking of Imperius...he’s next!”
Tevar was trying hard not to laugh as he unfurled the tapstery showing a small, excited looking angel, more rounded and with the smallest wings imaginable upon his back, “All I can say....the bravest bumblebee who just grew into a large angry bumblebee.”“Aww! That’s adorable!” Aladria cooed, “Look at this little wings!”
“I’m of the opinion that Imperius’s baby portrait is a weapon that causes everyone to stop and stare, laugh, or coo, thus ending all hostilities.” Tevar said with a snicker, “The most powerful relic in Heaven.”
“I don’t think he would be pleased if you said that.”
“From what I heard, calling him a bumblebee causes him to go into a berserk rage,” Tevar said with a shrug before starting to unfurl the last tapestry, “And now, last, but not least....Inarius and Tyrael and I open this up to our dear viewers....which one is which?”
The picture showed two young fledglings, that were more or less identical, both standing in the same exact pose as they stared down whoever was painting them, “Apparently, they were impossible to tell apart until Tyrael lost his halo....and according to my sources, they weren’t really officially named until then. They just shouted their name and assumed whoever responded was the right angel...”
Aladria squinted, sitting up, “...so do you know which one is which?”
“Nope. Imperius didn’t know either so I put it on the Heaven social media page and it is the top trending topic currently in Heaven....Tyrael and Inarius are at each other’s throats as apparently they can’t figure it out and keep claiming the other one has it wrong. Malthael says the difference is subtle but isn’t revealing which...I’m of the opinion he is trolling all of us.”Aladria rubbed her chin, “...which one was taller?”
“They were about the same height and Tyrael claims he is taller but Inarius is claiming he was always the taller one. Problem is, now they are the exact same height so hard to tell.” Tevar shook his head, “Its a mystery!”
“This is going to bug me all night now,” Aladria grumbled, taking up the tapestry and eyeballing it, “There has to be something different between them when they were small!”
Tevar snickered, glancing up at the camera, “And there you have the baby angels, tell me what you think and as always, M.C Clean OUT!”
