and ooh what about Calvato? I don't think I've heard much on her but she's great. how'd she meet Roz and Domhnull, and what were their first impressions?

Calvato!

Before meeting Roz and Domhnull, she was a scavenger out in the Shifting Expanse. Being pretty decent at mechanic work had her as a valuable asset out there, but honestly? Getting bossed around and stuck in giant groups of strangers isn't what Calvato's about. So solo work on a motorcycle was what suited her best, but it still wasn't a job she enjoyed, just one she was good at.

(Haven't figured out the specifics, so...) When she met Roz and Domhnull she really liked them! Two other motorcyclists, but who actually rode for fun and treated each other like friends, not employees. Of course, Domhnull loves everybody, and Roz is happy to be a friend to anyone who needs it, and they both actually respected her. So it wasn't hard for Calvato to ride off with them, and she's loved her life with them ever since! She's the youngest of the group (with Domhnull at ~32 and Roz at ~26, Calvato probably joined at 19-ish and is now ~21), but she's really been able to come into her own in the group. Even if she's not 100% sure what the future holds, she knows she's at least always going to have a great group of friends to back her up.

Calvato is a demigirl, and pretty much exclusively attracted to women/nb people, but she doesn't consider herself a lesbian at all.

Probably doesn't define her sexuality, really? She doesn't care about getting into a relationship that much, her friends are good enough for now (unless Domhnull also got into a relationship, like Roz has, then she'd probably make an effort), and she'd only really want to date someone who was also on the spectrum.

Basically, if you consider the overlap between Calvato and Rozomund and Domhnull, in some big triple venn diagram, then "attracted to women" is there, and "liking motorcycles" is there, but "being a lesbian" is not.

💊?

Thank you so much for the ask, and so sorry that it took so long! (ask in reference to this post)

Clan leader Hela's left eye was affected when a large wound on her jaw was "healed." It's sort of melted into a wet pile on her face, but is as solid as a typical eye again, though severely deformed. It no longer functions.

-

Barrum, the clan's co-ruler and Hela's confidant, has PTSD from his time in a cult and the duration after. He suspects Hela may have it too, but hides it from him.

-

Winnifred, owner of a tavern/inn in the main clan, is deaf and uses sign language to communicate (I use ASL as my reference). She also has a familiar which often assists as an interpreter when needed (I haven't decided on what familiar yet).

-

Azrael goes into more fictional territory as a sort of were-beast, specifically transforming into a lion creature. At the affliction's very worst he was fully a non-dragon, losing all his Mirror dragon abilities and becoming incapable of understanding any sort of communication. Now that the curse only leaves him partially transformed (rarely is he fully a dragon) due to help from the local coven, he often has furious bursts or bouts of intense memory loss.

(Extra because I'm pretty sure this doesn't count as a disability:)

Calvato is neurodivergent in that she's autistic. She absolutely adores being able to live the free life of a biker, where she can scavenge and tinker and build with scrap metal to her heart's desire, all while her friends admire her passions. She's naturally a more reserved dragon around most, but Roz and Domhnull describe her as an absolute riot to be around.
