Fafnir the Storm Dragon: Always Soaring, Forever Triumphant! Hopefully!
Age: Mid-twenties, young adult
Affiliation: Team Mythic, the Restoration
Likes: Adventure, treasure, her friends and family, fighting bad guys, flying
Dislikes: Waiting, bad guys, her own tendency to not think things through, anyone who gets between her and treasure
The girl who started Team Mythic in the first place, their de facto leader, and a storm dragon who has declared herself to be the world's future most famous hero!
At least, that's what she's trying to be. Her prodigal strength is only matched by her reckless nature, which has caused her image to be generally poor among the likes of the Restoration.
Alongside her girlfriend Gale the Great Owl and their adopted daughter Kitt the Kitsune, she lives in Station Square while trying to turn her (deserved) reputation around and finally become the hero she always dreamed of being.
Fafnir was born to a nomadic tribe of storm dragons, powerful but generally rare Mobians who rarely make appearances in civilized society. Fafnir herself dreamed of seeing the world from a young age, and eventually managed to convince her family to move into civilized society, ending with them moving to Station Square.
As an adult, Fafnir spends her time either helping out with the Restoration (and any other volunteer work she happens to see) and hunting treasure.
Greedy for jewels and gold
Fun-loving and silly, rarely thinks much of appearances when it comes to things like team poses or catchphrases
Deeply loves her friends and family and will do close to anything to protect them
Impatient, rarely thinks things through before acting
Flight via her wings, her top speed in the air is enough that Sonic would have to put some effort in to outpace her.
Tail is prehensile and can grab things
Tail can generate potent electric shocks, even firing bolts of lightning (she cannot aim this very well)
Scales are tough like armor
Sharp claws can cut through metal
Horns can grow back over time
Resistant to electric shocks
Artist's Notes (from me, I'm also the artist):
She is deliberately supposed to be a bit shark-like, since I figured that both diverge her design from official dragons like Dulcy or Super Trip and helped lean into her high-energy personality.
As far as design inspiration went, the two primary entities were Melusine Fate/Grand Order and the King of the Storm from Dark Souls 3 (the feathered wings in specific were a trait pried from it that I really liked).
I got pretty lazy when it came to her feet, though they do look decently cute from afar. I'd meant to make them more velociraptor-esque, but that was a bit above my current skill level. The more paw-like feet did end up looking nicer in the end than I anticipated, at least.
Her little lightning-bolt ahoge was an addition in the drawing phase that I actually liked a lot, probably the part of her hair I enjoyed drawing the most.
Not as happy with her hair as I hoped otherwise, it was meant to be wilder and messier to befit with the description of "mane" that I gave it, but nothing I did felt satisfying for my tastes. Something to practice at.
I originally wanted to have scale patterns across her limbs and belly to make her look more 'armored', but after discovering that just drawing a more simplistic Fafnir was going to be a struggle I canned it. It's not out of line for a Sonic character to lack that detail, Espio and Vector don't typically have much in the way of scale patterns on them, so it's probably for the best.
