Family: Parents and a little sister named Elsa (deceased)
Alies: Aloy, Erend, King Avad. Neutral with all the other tribes.
Tribe: lived in the old world, slept for over 900 years, slightly part of the carja tribe.
Nickname: Due to her driven nature, she can come across as hot-tempered dealing with people who think she's just a small useless girl. Many of the Carja and Oseram men call her Spitfire and want to break her fiery soul.
History: Delya is a multifaceted woman, from having overtly physical hobbies like: rock-climbing, martial arts and interpretive dance to being an expert in computer programming, engineering and problem-solving. She is very goal oriented and is driven to get the job done. Hence why she got picked for the Horizon Zero Dawn project and didn't walk away from it. While she started in only the delta branch, she was quickly noticed by her peers and got transferred to the Alpha prime facility. There Elisabet Sobeck took her under her wing in secret for a special project. The Omega clearance was given to her, making a program undetected within Gaia that could give one person a cryo sleep pod far, far beneath the surface in case Gaia encountered programming issues.
Just before the failure of the sealed doors, Elisabet send Delya to the sleeping pod chamber through a hyper speed pod track deep underneath the ground, leading to the sleeping pod chamber. There under the guidance of Gaia's inner function named HYPNOS, entered the cryo sleep pod unaware of the events in the Gaia prime facility.
Plot points:
Wakes up after the events of Aloy purging HADES
HYPNOS signal leads Aloy and Erend to the sleeping pod chamber
The waking up procedure has some complications and she is brought to King Avads Castle for recovery under a lie.
Learns the truth about the Gaia prime facility, the other alphas, Gaia, hades and the machines.
Goes on a few adventures with Aloy while trying to adapt to this new world.
Goes on more adventures with Erend and grows closer to him.
Falls in love with him, but Erend being still infatuated with Aloy and him being oblivious, makes for awkward situations.
Erend finally notices her and has to fight with Aloy and other guards a group of mercenaries that are after Delya who doesn't know this.
While Delya is waiting for a kind of date with Erend but doesn't show up. (She waits all night till morning cause the other guards won't let her leave). In the morning she sneaks away, traveling to the place where they were working and gets ambushed.
Aloy, Erend and the other guards fight the mercenaries but can't prevent one from grabbing Delya and sliding a knife across her throat. They kill him immediately, but are to shocked to check if Delya is alive.
They leave the cave, Delya still alive, leaving through another exit and hearing that Erend doesn't care if she is alive or dead, unaware that he doesn't want the other guards to know, he's heart broken.
She travels back to Hypnos, heals herself and leaves for a journey beyond Carja territory.
During her journey, she loses her left arm and foot, gets rescued by a group that makes workable prosthetic's and teaches them a lot about the old world.
After 2 years she returns to Carja territory, saves Erend and a group of merchants of a crazed Thunderjaw by luck.
She continues her work, while Erend and her have this awkward tension that neither of them will acknowledge and rectify.
Delya's friends come to help her, including their leader who is a hulking dude who has his sets on Delya making his.
Delya rejects him, causing him to lash out and wound Delya in the process. Erend jumps in to her rescue but gets the full force of his attacks, causing him nearly to die, until Delya swings Erend's hammer against his face and he dies.
Delya brings Erend with much effort to Hypnos who heals him during the span of 3 days. After he is healed, he leaves without saying a word and doesn't visit or say anything to Delya.
After a ruse of hypnos, he returns thinking Delya want to kill herself and wants to stop her. He confesses he loves her, she confesses too and they make up.
Few months later Gaia is restored, Apollo is returned and all is well.
Possible plot points after this
A clan leader of the Oseram claims Delya as his wife, as she inadvertently promised herself to him while she traveled through the claim years ago.
Erend and Delya have been together for 2 years.
Both of them fight his claim but are unaware of each other desire to marry each other.
A hand to hand combat is proposed and even Delya is opposed to such a outdated concept, nothing can be stopped.
When Erend loses and Delya has to stop the fight in order to stop Erend from being killed, she accepts his claim.
When the topic of children comes up and she realizes she can't produce offspring, she tries to tell Erend before she can publicly tell everyone else, but fails after every turn.
At the wedding, she has to tell everyone that she is barren and is unable to have children. The clan leader refuses her as his wife, while Erend asks her to marry her.
They marry and Erend is convinced that Delya being unable to have children was a lie. After 2 months of being happy again, she reveals it wasn't a lie, crushing his heart.
Erend accepts a quest of King Avad that has him leave Carja territory for a long time without Delya knowing.
Before Erend leaves it takes a few weeks and within those weeks, Delya gets a big surprise when Gaia tells her she is pregnant. Delya tries multiple times to tell Erend this news but he is still mad at her, so cuts her off every chance she gets.
When Erend leaves and she finds out that she won't see him for a long time, she travels after him and catches their convoy just in time.
Even though he's ecstatic about the news, he still leaves with the convoy, promising he would be back before she gives birth.
This doesn't come to pass and after 1,5 years of Erend not being home, she fears the worst. Sadly the clan leader hears about her children (twins, a girl and a boy) and Erend not being there, he kidnaps the three of them and takes them to his clan.
Delya is poorly mistreated but does everything she can to give her kids everything they need which results in her getting malnourished and having to deal with beatings whenever her kids cry.
Eventually Erend returns months after Delya's disappearance and is horrified that no one knows where she is. With the help of Aloy who herself had just returned from a year old trip, it takes them back into the Claim and finding her with her children.
Just a glimpse of Erend and Aloy, she finds new strength within her and kills the clan leader with a knife straight to the heart when he tries to lay with her.
When Erend and Aloy barge into the clan leaders House, they are surprised to see her having killed the clan leader. Erend and Delya reunite, where Delya passes out in Erend's arms, totally exhausted.
Erend and Aloy bringing Delya and the kids back to Carja territory, to King Avad's castle in fear of retaliation of the clan.
The retaliation doesn't happen, instead an older clansman comes and thanks them, expressing regret of not helping Delya with her struggles.
Delya gets nursed back to health and reveals that their kids are named: Erso and Elsa, in memory of Erend's sister and her own.
After watching Descendants 3, I had this big wave of inspiration (ha, wave, that’s funny) and dug myself into rabbit hole, that I find it hard to crawl out of. I managed not only to create 2 original characters in the Descendants universe, but create an epic love story. Don’t know the time-periode if it’s before or after Descendants 3, cause of the ages of the other characters. But here it goes....
Lyr, is the daughter of Arista and an unknown father, who is off course daughter of Triton and sister of Arïel. She is the first mermaid, to set foot on land to attend Auradon. She will life on land in Ariël and Eric’s castle, along side Melody, her cousin (who will much older). During her travel towards Ariël’s castle, she’ll get distracted by something shimmering in the deep, which is a mirror. Lyr, is a very vain person and will stop at nothing to admire her reflection and fix her appearance, so she stare in it a little to long. The mirror cracks, releasing a curse upon her, that turns her little by little into a siren, that will drown everyone that is close to her in the water.
It also takes her ability to speak (sorry, I love continuity) and makes her singing hypnotizing (which people don’t really listen too and makes them more in danger of being drowned). So, afraid to swim back to atlantis or to Ariël, she goes on land, hides herself in a little abandoned cottage close to the school campgrounds and waits till school begins.
School is nothing what she hopes it is. Everyone wants to be friends with her, because she’s a mermaid but talk behind her back, when she is not around. Her appearance has also changed drastically. Her pastel cotton candy pink hair, has turned into a silver platina blonde that has no volume in it. Her pupils went from round to more reptilian shape, her make-up is black, smeared and washed-out, no matter how much she washes her face.
The more she comes into contact with water, the more she changes into a monster. Her teeth become sharper, her nails longer, scales appear randomly on her body as do webbing between her fingers and toes, thorns on her body. This all happens throughout the story.
Cue in, Orson, youngest son of Merida and unknown father, who got accepted through scholarship all the way from Schotland. He’s a burly guy, ginger hair, freckles, blue eyes, who’s good at archery, chopping wood and other outdoorsy activities. He’s brought along his trusty horse who still has to be named. He turns into a bear when he’s depressed, cause magic, bears and schotland. Don’t ask, I thought it was an interesting concept.
Anyway, both Orson and Lyr have a huge love for the environment, cleaning up, helping animals and so on. Because Lyr decides to stay as far away from the ocean, she walks through the woods and cleans it up as best she can. Orson is intrigued and because none of the other kids can understand him with his accent, he tries to befriend her. Lyr understands him perfectly well, to both of their surprises, but can’t talk to him (which is strange for her, cause she is quite a chatterbox). Anyway, some bullying ensues for both parties and they take solace in each other.
Lyr realizes that she is putting Orson in danger by growing more and more fond of him, so she pushes him away. One day when she is walking along the cliff side (cause she misses the ocean), she gets bullied and eventually pushed off the cliff falling into the water. Orson, who is nearby, jumps in after her. Once in the water, Lyr has no idea he is even there, but because she senses someone, she begins to lure him in. Once Lyr reaches Orson, she panics, resulting in Orson regaining some focus and kisses her without a single thought.
That breaks her curse, cause you know, true love’s kiss. I know it’s sappy. She turns back into a mermaid, Orson last breath leaves his lips and she swims as fast as she can back to the surface with him in her arms. Once on land, she turns back into a human, this time all beautiful, pink hair and naked.
She tries to shake Orson awake, but because she’s a mermaid, she doesn’t know a thing about CPR and stuff. She screams at the ocean, at the cliffs in pain and agony, until King Triton (who is actually Poseidon) appears all concerned and happy that he found his lost granddaughter. Through magic (cause duh), he makes Orson alive again, but it has a catch. He has forgotten most of it and Triton tells him that his granddaughter saved him from drowning.
Orson, now almost forgotten about Lyr and things, continues school. Lyr has to take 2 weeks of to explain everything to the school, her parents and so on. When she returns she tries to befriend Orson again, but he thinks she way to girly for his liking and ignores her. Lyr finally starts to make friends at school, but seeing Orson ignoring her hurts.
Orson on the other hand, feels a big void in his heart and no matter what he tries to fill it with, it doesn’t work. He falls into a depression, resulting in him turning into a bear. Lyr follows him, sings a song she has known for forever and when he finally relaxes, she kisses his bear nose, resulting him turning back (cause magic, true loves kiss) and naked. Happily ever after, I guess.
Haven’t worked out the little details. But please, tell me what you think if you want.
The bad guys. The mad scientists, the cruel executives, the evil witches and wizards, the corrupt politicians, the mortal aspects of pure evil, and, more often than not, the people (or otherwise) that instigate the conflict and the story. You are a very determined individual with a very strict set of rules. Your mind is mostly thinking about how you can reach your goals and conquer your ambitions. You are often described as cunning and intelligent by the few who stick by your side. You like sticking to the shadows and observing, rather than interacting and taking action.
