hi everyone guess who finally picked up drawing again after giving up on it like, five years ago
+ a sketch of my favorite dragon from the fandom that first got me into drawing a million years ago back when the movies first came out
(ignore the writing, they're notes from a different sketch lol)
Ok, I finished it earlier than expected @who-is-cannon
The Midnight Sun Ghost
Aka Aurorrye
(Said like the name Aurora and the word rye, Auror-rye)
Pronouns: She/her
Core: Shadow
Age: ???
(She has no idea, spent some time in the Infinite Realms came back and humanity was using a different calendar. Might’ve been gone for 150 years, might’ve been 5000, she has no way of knowing since she couldn’t find anyone who knew the date based on the old calendar.)
Obsession/ nature: Also shadow!
Her interest in shadow puppets began as a favorite way to entertain village children, became something more when she was rift-born.
Appearance: (human/ghost)
Eyes: Violet/yellow
Hair: Black (both forms)
Skin: pale/shadow
(Pale not by race, but because of sensitivity to bright lights)
(I’m thinking she was from somewhere in South America, but I’m to lazy to research actual cultures)
Origin:
I go back and forth on the specifics, but she was caught in a natural portal when she was young (8-10), a full rift, like Danny. Her village was no stranger to spirits, liminals, and had several Doorway Spirits itself. It wasn’t much of a big deal.
She used her abilities to entertain others, help out around the village, and occasionally get into trouble. As she got older, she helped defend from natural dangers as well as supernatural ones.
One thing about Doorway Spirits, they’re all very unique. Some age normally, some age slowly, some die soon after they develop their other form... some grow to a certain point, and stop.
Aurorrye was in the last category.
She continued to protect the village, but as generat ions passed she found it more comfortable to stay in the zone for longer and longer periods of time. It’s hard watching everyone you love grow old without you.
Unique powers:
Portal opening/closing
Teleportation via. shadows.
Illusion (stronger in the dark)
Manipulation of tangible shadow (also stronger in the dark)
She can’t duplicate: but can remove her own shadow in human form and it can act as a separate entity. (It’s (surprise) Stronger in the dark)
Can cause eclipses (both solar and/or lunar)(very draining ability, will need several years to gain enough power to do it again)
Fun facts:
Her human hair was brown before her core developed.
She doesn’t have a last name, her village was small enough that she didn’t need one.
You know how Danny’s eyes flash green? Aurorrye’s Don’t flash, instead the whites of her eyes go black.
She is the oldest known shadow cored spirit, and is typically revered by the others of her kind.
Will defeat Spectra by saying she’s disappointed in her with the mom voice. Spectra will not attack Danny again.
Has served 2 ghost kings, as ambassador to the human world/ advisor for the entirety of their reigns, and started off doing the same for Pariah... but that’s another story.
Has a tendency to adopt other Doorway Spirits.
She feeds on emotions, I think this is necessary for shadow spirits, but she likes feelings of Awe and wonder best.
Her cape gets bigger when she’s angry/trying to be threatening
In human form people tend to get confused about how old she is, a young looking 40? An old looking 28? Older? Younger? Mixing modern slang and ancient proverbs does not help with this
Also in human form, people tend to think she’s in charge, she held important positions in the kings court, she knows how to carry herself to give this impression. This leads to an interesting first meeting with Vlad.
