we have 1 (one) non-azura performer in fates to possibly reference, Layla, and... she doesnt really give us much to work with.

Here's Dancer Laslow! His shirt and the fabric around his waist is translucent.

Hi, kind of been addicted to the au so I decided to draw some of the kids (though I did put a bit of my own spin it for fun hope you don't mind-)

^^ my unfiltered reaction

I (Feli) CANNOT describe how cute these are!! They are!! My god!! Kana's dress is cute, I love the little manakete-isms added to Dwyer (pointy ears!! slit pupils!! yes!!), Hisame with Rinkah's face paint is fantastic and the gradient honestly looks amazing!! I'm now thinking about Hisame dying his hair, hah. Pink Nina!! I just noticed now that she has Felicia's headband oh my godd that's so cute it's so cute. The color choice on the hair shading looks fantastic, and you did an amazing job capturing the poses of the official artwork!!

I cannot begin to describe how much I'm kicking my feet and smiling like now. It's them. The kibbies. They're real!!! Woah!!! On god now I need to finish the prologue fic. My day has been made. My WEEK has been made. My god!!!

What is kidquest?

Kidquest is an AU focusing on the gen2 units of Fire Emblem Fates.

In a world where Corrin was never kidnapped to Hoshido, but figured Nohr would kill her anyways, she chose to withdraw from both sides and try to find her own way through life.

Twenty years later, the home of siblings Dwyer and Kana are attacked by Nohrian assailants. With their father dead and mother missing, Kana decides the only thing left to do is track down the dragon that appeared the day she vanished.

And they meet many friends along the way <3

A lot of fics, content, and shitposts focus on AU worldbuilding. Where the plot of Fates never happened, what happened instead? And it has resulted in a lot of fun lore.

But why is kidquest?

Kidquest began as a Fates Revelation challenge run with the aim of actually using all of the kids to finally get to know them as characters. Hence the name "kidquest", based on the "Corrinquest" challenge run format.

The rules of it were simple: pair off everyone as fast as possible, recruit the kids, and only use them (barring a backpack Corrin), resulting in perhaps some off-beat pairings seen in the AU.

All AU pairings are true to the original run completed by Pix, excluding Ryoma/Scarlet (which was actually Ryoma/Setsuna), because those two not having supports is stupid.

And then came the thought of what the in-universe lore of such a run would be, so the kidquest AU was born...

inspired by feli's response, Shiro pinning the flower to his robe before returning to the castle of his birth!

Kiragi knows this from his aunt that's so cool! Rhajat is secretly laughing in a corner.

Anyone from Shiro, Nina and Kana, is anyone else not cis?

this was always the intended dwyer experience also. We have discussions surrounding their rescue of Corrin from her feral dragon form where we stuck a 'maybe refer to me neutrally??' from dwyer in there, because Dwyer agenderism.

he would SO benefit from being Not Either Gender being a possibility. He tried Kana's way of things once, hated it, and retreated back.

additionally: both asugi and velouria are a big shrug regarding the gender they were assigned at birth.

Asugi's chill with going with whatever pronouns people use for him. and as far as Velouria's concerned, the pronouns she uses are I/me/myself (because that's how she refers to herself), and her parents use the terms Pup and Darling for her. Modern au, they'd probably have access to other nonbinary terms (asugi any/all pronoun user, and velouria just seeing the agender flag and going 'yeah that fits' and not changing anything else)
