🗡️ Garnet Harkinian Calatia

“I simply do not have time to make mistakes.”

he/him | 25yo | 5’10 (178cm)

As the newly crowned king of Calatia, Garnet is scrambling to understand everything there is to being a good ruler. He spends a lot of time trying to prove himself worthy of the respect he feels as though he deserves. He is a king, after all.

This leads to him discovering the legendary Divine Gemstones, which were thought to be lost to time.

Special thanks to @legendary-pancakes for designing his outfit! She cooked up a MEAL 🍽️

“Zel, Garnet!” she cries out, “are you–”

“Still here! Keep moving!” the other princess shouts. Foliage crashes as the other two catch up with her, and Ruby risks a glance back. Her brother wears a hollow expression, his eyes unfocused as Zelda, face grim, drags him along by the wrist.

It was supposed to be a quiet evening stroll in the woods for the Calatian royal family. Princess Zelda is visiting, and the weather is lovely and cool.

Now Ruby’s parents are dead, and Moruge Forest is in the process of burning to the ground at the hands of a group of masked traitors. The only goal? Escape with her and her remaining companions’ lives.

I’ve been thinking about the Ruby-Garnet dynamic a lot and why it is the way it is (or will be, I suppose) in the DG comic. Wrote a little bit to explore the why portion which you can read on AO3! This turned out a bit “D&D Tragic Character Backstory” but hey, I had fun writing it 🫶
