29. What do they do when they find out someone else’s fear? Do they tease them? Or get very over protective?
Mel is a very motherly type. Upon finding out someone’s fear she would attempt to comfort them and she would be very aware of making sure that they were never confronted with it unnecessarily. Momleeta wants to take care of everyone and she’ll do everything she can to do keep them safe.
sorry it took me a while to get to this! I was super tired after work ;u;
5. Guilty PleasuresMeleeta secretly really loves playing with children’s toys. She supposes it reminds her of a time when she cared for the whelps and got to play with them all the time but in reality she just adores making up stories about epic adventures in her head.
17. RegretsNot having a brood of her own. She was so intent on caring for Alexstrasza’s brood she never thought to have her own. She assumed she and her mate would have forever to find the time to raise their own clutch but even if her mate had not died, she became unable to bare her own after a grave injury.
21. Turning points in their life.Becoming Alextrazsa’s handmaiden was the first, then meeting her mate. Her life was as uneventful as a dragons could be until she was gored and became infertile. Losing her mate was another huge one.
The most recent and arguably one of the most important was meeting Xanthir. For all intents and purposes the netherwing is her son and she loves him dearly - he helped her move on from her loss and filled a void in her life.
——-
13. What gets them flustered?There is very little that embarrasses Avie. Perhaps her sister talking of the funny things she did as a child would get her mildly flustered. In a sexual sense there is very little she hasn’t seen or done, she’s very cool when it comes to bedroom talk.
18. Things they’ll never admit.Avie is a piece of shit - she’s awful towards Aron. There is no other way to say it other than she verbally and emotionally abuses him. She’ll never ever admit to her behaviour, she’s ashamed of it.
(I do have planned in her story for her to realise what she’s doing, it’ll be worked into both her personal development and her training as a Spellbreaker.)
20. What ifs/alternate timelines.In an alternate universe, she would have met Aron under different circumstances and chosen to be with him. She probably would have fallen in love with him and they’d have a happy marriage.
Similarly, if she hadn’t been forced to be a paladin by her father and subsequently into the Blood Knights, she would have travelled the worlds known to them.
Thank you for these, it was fun to answer! @redandpointy
This is gonna be huge so under a cut for anyone who’s interested.
Fluff :: What hits their soft spot? Does anything them into emotional goo?
Adolphus: Bring her nagrand cherry pie and talador orchids. These things remind her of happy times, and they are details that only those close to her would know about. She doesn’t often open up about her past so if someone were to bring her them they would mean so much to her.
Avie: Gentle affection, accepting her for just being her and not expecting her to be her father’s daughter. Acknowledging that she’s not very good with words and just letting her be silent when she needs to be.
Meleeta: Anything made with thought, or done just because someone knows she would appreciate it or make her smile. Xanthir sends her rare flowers to say thank you occasionally. It makes her tear up every time.
Taeonthrial: Probably anything Tulav or Tihal make/do for her. She treasures anything either of them give her, they’re the most important people in the world to her. Also, genuine understanding of the rock and a hard place she’s stuck between.
Touch :: How do they handle contact? Is their personal bubble big?
Adolphus: Pretty big. Ad doesn’t like being touched by anyone other than her close friends, though once she considers someone a friend she is happy to give them a friendly hug or lean on them. The only person she likes being close to for extended periods of time is Goguni.
Avie: Depends on the type of touch and who from. She’s no issue with getting in people’s personal space or hopping in to bed with them so long as there is no romantic attraction but the minute there is HOO BOY she is outta there. Compare: Aron vs Evan or Fey.
Meleeta: Mel will hug you all day every day. She is Momleeta 24/7. She adores hugs and physical touch but is very aware that not everyone likes it. She only ever gives her emo son physical affection when he initiates it.
Taeonthrial: Tae is selective about who she allows in her personal space. She is happy to have physical touch from friends and very much enjoys affection from people like Nythendris and Tulav.
Vice :: What bad habits do they have? Is there something they would be ashamed of?
Adolphus: Ad is stubborn to her own detriment. She will do as she pleases just because someone told her she can’t, even if she knows that it will get her in trouble or cause harm.Avie: Oh god where to start with Avie. Avie is very spiteful. She uses sex as a vice to escape from the reality of her situation (which isn’t actually that bad at all) and will unashamedly rub it in Aron’s face just to see what he does. She will go looking for dangerous partners just so she can wave it in front of him.
Meleeta: Mel tends to live life without shame, and she has never relied on a vice or crutch to support herself. She is sometimes ashamed of the fact she was never able to give her mate a clutch before he died, though that is more of a personal demon than anything else.
Taeonthrial: Tae lives for danger and excitement. Her lifestyle aboard the Galestorm isn’t exactly ‘responsible’. She will often drink to forget, or to give herself ‘liquid courage’. She is young and very gun-ho. After her son is born, she will calm down.
Wardrobe :: What’s their fashion style? Do they have any staple pieces?
Adolphus: Adolphus is either wearing mail armor when she’s out and about, or just plain casual clothes when she’s working in the stables or her garrison. She nearly always has plating attached to her horns.Avie: Either her plate armor when she’s on duty or fighting, or casual clothes of high quality when she’s not. If she’s on speaking terms with Aron, she wears her wedding ring and regardless in the future she will wear an amulet with a picture of him in it.
Meleeta: Favours colourful, elegant robes when in her troll form. She always has many feathers and beads woven into her hair, no matter what she’s wearing.
Taeonthrial: Tae usually wears practical leathers, good protection against attack but lightweight and supple enough to move about on the ship. She always has her earrings and choker on, and when Tulav gives it to her, his tooth necklace. She rarely wears shoes.

✦ Trying to call for help but being just a second too late.
Adolphus. She’d fight to the bitter end and only call out for help when she knew she’d lost, because she’d never put anyone else in harms way. Just imagine Goguni seeing her try to call for him then getting impaled. ｡◕ ‿ ◕｡
† Taking a fatal blow for someone else.
Taeonthrial would throw herself in front of anything for the people she loved. If something was going down on the ship and she saw Nyth or Tul about to go down you can bet she’d be between them and the fatal blow in a blink. Probably die in their arms. (n˘v˘•)¬
☂ Being tricked into the open because of a familiar sound.
Meleeta. Even in her infinite wisdom if someone could trick her into believing she could hear her mates voice she would follow it to the end of the world just to see him again. She’d die sobbing over the fact she hadn’t managed to save him. (=゜ω゜)
✄ Making classic horror mistakes, calls out ‘who’s there’ before being hunted down.
Adolphus. She’s so naive and trusting she’d not even think to be wary of something. Being chased down would send her right back to when she was a teenager and she saw her father being mowed down by orcs in Shattrath (✿◠‿◠)
Ethnicity/Species: Dragon, takes the form of a troll.
Birthplace and Birthdate: She's so old she doesn't really remember herself. 22 thousand years makes you a little hazy on the details.
Guilty Pleasures: Mel loves nothing more than lazing around in the sand on a beach somewhere, with her favourite cold drinks and home-made sugar cookies.
Phobias: Mel is terrified of losing patients, especially young ones. She devoted her life to raising whelps and tending the wounded and nothing hurts her more than losing one.
What They Would Be Famous For: Being an expert field surgeon.
What They Would Get Arrested For: I can't imagine Mel doing anything that would get her arrested.
OC You Ship Them With: None, she's not particularly interested in finding a mate since the loss of her life partner.
OC Most Likely To Murder Them: Oh gosh, I have no idea. Mel is pretty chill, she doesn't really get on people's nerves much. She just mothers people.
Favorite Movie/Book Genre: Mel loves a good mystery.
Least Favorite Movie/Book Cliche: Action, she sees enough of it in her life.
Talents and/or Powers: Mel is a dragon, and so has access to a range of powers. She can change her appearance to appear like a troll, a dragon or somewhere in between. Being from the Red Flight, she has restorative powers that she uses to aid others.
Why Someone Might Love Them: Mel is a warm soul, she takes people under her wing and cares for them like they were her own clutch.
Why Someone Might Hate Them: She might come across as a bit of a 'do-gooder' and maybe a little above reproach. She doesn't mean to, but it could cause people to dislike her.
How They Change: Mel has had to deal with a lot over her long lifespan. As a young dragon she was hot-headed and brash, but as she matured and was given charge of Alexstraszas brood she calmed. Now she is level headed and thinks before she does anything.
Why You Love Them: Mel is my lovable dragon-mom. She's also my first level cap Horde character and first dragon OC. She heads up Concilium Draconum with @doodlejinx's Xanthiraku, and she mothers him as much as he hates it.
