I remember that at a point, I had the headcanon that Takumi could have had more dragon blood in his veins than anyone else in both family. Because, the dragon's child (Corrin) has silver hair, so I had the headcanon that Takumi had silver hair for that reason (more dragon blood because genetic is weird sometimes) and it was why he was more easy to control for Anankos and sometime so powerful (he's lucky with critical attacks)
That’s interesting~ Consider this.
We now know the Dawn Dragon was silver-colored, with some pink/red accents.
So your headcanon now has even more proof backing it up!

Himiko the Dawn Dragon. Patron Goddess of Hoshido, Goddess of the Dawn, Healing, and Harvest.
The Dawn Dragon is worshiped as a Goddess among the Mortal Plain Nornir, and is most widely worshiped within the Kingdom of Hoshido, championed as their patron. Both the Raijinto and the Mirror of Truth are attributed to her and considered holy artifacts of the Kingdom.
Other Characters of the War of Twelve;
- (old) Sawsan
- (old ver.) Atropos
-The Dawn Clan was one of the many clans that were denied membership among the Council when the decree to ban interpersonal relationships between clans was decreed. Seen as hybrids born from continued joining of Flame Dragons and Storm Dragons, they were shunned and scorned by the council and, in turn, the recognized clans. They were not allowed near recognized clan's territories, though tolerated to exist in what was considered undesirable habitats.
-Himiko was born to the clan's chieftain and was well loved by her people, partly due to the fact the birthrate of children had drastically fallen in the centuries after the first Great Degeneration. She showed a high aptitude for magic and was soon hailed as a prodigy among her peers.
-With her nearing birthday, she was sent on a pilgrimage to a nearby holy ground as part of tradition of all those who would one day run the clan as chieftain. Before she parted, her mother gave her a bronze mirror as a celebratory gift. She had noticed how much Himiko would admire her own mirror, and thought it would be a perfect gift. Unfortunately for Himiko and her clan, this would be the last time she would see any of them while they lived.
-The Dawn Clan had been framed by the true culprits of the Storm Clan's massacre and in retribution the Dawn Clan was wiped out as well. All except for Himiko, who returned from her pilgrimage to find the ravaged remains of her home. She took on the duty of laying her family, friends, and clan to rest, performing the funeral rights all on her own.
-This caught the attention of a nearby human tribe. Upon finding her among the ruins of her people, they offered her a place among them. Himiko agreed, and began to travel with them. In honor of her clan, the tribe named themselves the Dawn Tribe.
-It wasn’t long until the massacre ebcame widely known, and for knowledge of her survival to travel among the scattered communities. For one reason or another, many began to flock to Himiko’s side and rallied her into seeking justice for her people in the only way she could, a war.
-At first the Council of Six ignored her existence, not seeing any point to kill a lone survivor and believed her people would simply die off with her. However, they soon were forced to take notice when her and her growing army gradually increased in number and in boldness. First attacking merchants and travelers, then smaller communities of the Clans. The Council gathered together an army of their own but from infighting and inner mechanisms, the army splintered and began fighting each other.
-Himiko took full advantage of this, and soon enough had managed to put a strong dent into the recognized clan and tribes’ numbers. Her followers just as well had been growing and learning from their allies. Humans most of all grew from this, as they had learned not only the ways of healing and curses from Himiko, but also what would later become the skillset of a ninja from their Kitsune allies and the brutal fighting of the Wolfskin that would influence the fighting styles of Berserkers.
-Some time near the end years of the war, Himiko came across an injured human boy in the aftermath of a battle and realized he had simply been an innocent caught in the crossfire. Feeling sympathy for his situation, she took him back to her followers base and personally healed him. While she was unable to do a complete job, he eventually came to and the two became friends.
-The human boy soon was inseparable from Himiko and trusted each other explicitly. However, he was unhappy with his lasting injuries and one day admitted it to Himiko. She offered to create a blood bond with him, in hopes the dragon blood would give him an edge other humans didn’t. He accepted.
-However the war at this point had been dragging on for generations of humans, and those who once sympathized with Himiko were all gone and in their places were their descendants who had become increasingly weary of the fighting. When word spread that the Water Dragon and her companion were offering humans an edge against the dragons, enough members of the Dawn Tribe grew interested and sent a group without Himiko’s knowledge to Notre Sagesse to hear what the two offered.
-When the group returned, they shared that a weapon could be forged that would easily fell even a dragon and that all they needed to craft such a thing would be a dragon’s dragonstone. Soon after, Himiko’s own dragonstone disappeared. Distraught and endangered for being left in a near powerless humanoid form, she begged her human friend to find what had become of it.
-He left and months passed as Himiko’s anxiety grew until he eventually returned. Yet instead of the stone he promised, he instead wielded a blade forged from it’s shards and no longer able to be used for Himiko.
-The Dawn Clan, with the boy now a man as their leader turned against Himiko, and restrained her. At the man’s behest, they did not immediately kill her and tried to reason with her, but the betrayal had cut to deep and instead she cursed her former friend and the sword he so proudly wielded.
-’All those who wield that blade born from your betrayal shall never know a peaceful end until I myself lift this curse from you and all after you.’
-Unable to bring himself to kill her, he instead took a second method advised to him by the Water Dragon and sealed her away within the mirror given to her all those years ago and her last remaining memento of her massacred clan.
-The man was named the tribe’s new leader and he soon after the war’s end founded the Kingdom of Hoshido, where he was crowned King.
-Despite marrying and having children of his own, his deeds haunted him and he became more and more reclused as he would spend hours praying at the shrine set up to Himiko with her mirror. He begged for her forgiveness and for her to speak to him like she did his children, but was met with silence. One day, his retainers convinced him to leave for once and spend time with his family he had been neglecting. But their peaceful outing was shattered by an attack of bandits. His wife and children escaped as he remained behind to defend them and in the battle he was killed.
-The blade made from Himiko’s dragon shards, the Raijinto, was passed onto his eldest son when it seemingly chose him on his coronation day, the curse placed onto it forgotten.
-The mirror soon became hailed as a holy relic to communicate to their goddess with, and it became tradition for at least one of the royal family bearing the blood bond would join the priesthood as they could hear her the clearest. However, this honor was also considered a curse, as those who got too close to the mirror were rumored to go mad. So, the mirror is contained within the Temple of the Dawn, once the Royal Palace, near Fort Jinya.
Finally finished Himiko! Her hairstyle was supposed to be somewhat based off an interpretation of her namesake, albeit altered. In the end it... doesn't look anything like the hairstyle I had originally wanted to base it off of, taking on the look of another hairstyle I had found while looking for references. Is what I ended up with a realistic hairstyle? Probably not. But mmmm I like it so. The mirror originally was supposed to a reference to her namesake as well, as the Queen Himiko was said to have received mirrors from China when they officially recognized her as Queen.
However, mirrors are also used as a representative of the kami or even a conduit for which the kami will use to communicate from. Read about that here. I thought it fit well, especially since the considerably most famous one is that of Amaterasu, the Goddess of the Sun. Considering I assume the Dawn Dragon was probably meant to act as a reference to Amaterasu, at least somewhat, in the original game, I thought it was fitting and kept with the idea. The pattern on the non-reflective side shown here is based off the design in the town square in game which is underneath, what I assume is supposed to be, a statue of the Dawn Dragon.
If you want to discuss or ask about my ocs, feel free to! I know I’m slow making these profiles h aha sorry.
Hello! Thanks to everyone who made her stay here wonderful, but turns out that writing someone with almost 0 in game lore is actually rather nervewracking. So I'd like to drop the Dawn Dragon and reserve Lewyn from FE4 in her stead!
