Some gift art I did for :iconDragonOfIceandFire: and CrayonSoup. Their characters of Lynerius and Auralis drawn all cutesy. Thought it would be fun to put them in this sort of spiral composition with Auralis flying over all happy and Lynerius standing there being all stoic. Quite the fun power couple. Check out DoIaF's Destiny intertwined comic, where these character originate from.
The man, the myth, the legend, it's Spyro, the most well-known dragon in the Dragon Kingdom, even above the current dragon leaders... even above Bubba. He's loud, cocky, and headstrong, but his enthusiasm can still sometimes bring a smile to the sourest of faces. On the flip side, he's constantly in trouble for something or the other, with 'I can't, I'm grounded' practically becoming his catchphrase. He pushes boundaries on a daily basis with his mischief and, combined with his irresponsibility, often sees him breaking stuff and being punished for it all the time. Man, it must be exhausting being one his guardians.
An Artisan who has yet to find his 'artistic voice', the Artisans are doing their best to ignite his 'artistic spirit', but Spyro is not feeling it. But whenever Marco the Balloonist is in town, he's the first to greet him, so, perhaps there's something for him there. Marco would love to teach Spyro how to operate a hot air balloon, all he needs is the 'go ahead' from Nestor, and he can start teaching.
He's been painfully lonely as long as he could remember, Sparx is his best friend, but he can't exactly play tag or hopscotch with him without his life being endangered. So, when he met dragons his age, he wouldn't leave them alone till he learned everything about them. Flame instantly became his second-best friend behind Sparx, Ember is warming up to him, Cynder couldn't care less, and Zinc absolutely hates his guts.
Definitely has ADD, which he has yet to properly manage. He's fidgety, interrupts others frequently, and is way too impulsive even for a kid. His Elders hope he grows out of it soon, but, uh, that's not how it works. The best anyone can do is be patient with him and give him a schedule or else he'll be all over the place. 'Hey, Gildas, you think I could climb on top of the roof of that castle over there?... You say no, I think yes. Give me, one... two... Five minutes'.
He knows every elder eragon; he can recognize their faces and call them by their names. Though, all of their feelings about him vary with one third spoiling him rotten, two thirds joining his shenanigans, and three thirds giving him actual discipline or doing the best to shoo the pint-sized nuisance away. 'Fine, I'll just go ask [insert lenient dragon elder's name] instead'. They're uncoordinated and they all have their own philosophies that they're trying to drill into him at the same time. The outcome is a spoiled, cocky brat with a heart of gold who has the ability to become friends with anyone, except Gnorcs, of course.
He has, like, five thousand baby pictures with more being discovered every day. There are at least two pictures of him in every Artisan home. Yeah, when he was born there was a 'Baby Boom', an explosion of inspiration that hit the Artisan worlds, dozens of paintings, sculptures and carvings depicting the newborn were everywhere. As he grew older, the pieces started to disappear, and he figured they were thrown out or locked up in storage. Nope, they were sent to other dragons outside of Artisans who couldn't meet him at the Year of the Dragon Festival.
He's not afraid of anything... Is what he'd like the others to believe, but he's still just a kid with an overactive imagination. He's scared of bodies of water and will actively avoid them unless he has to interact with them. That's why he's such a lousy swimmer and watching him try to swim is... Not going to lie, it's pretty funny but the more he meets with Beast Makers, the better he gets at it.
With how much he enjoys ramming things with his horns, it was only a matter of time before something gave. He charged a Gnorc Sentry right in the metal armor and, SNAP, two horns became none. No, dragon horns do not usually grow back, especially if they're completely removed at the base, but Spyro's had a clean break at the mid points. With the help of Beast Makers Bubba and Damon his former spiral horns became the slightly curved ones seen on him today.
Too independent for her own good. And the term stoic doesn't quite suit her either, it's more like emotionally stunted, as in she can't express or understand emotions properly. Though, the more she interacts with the others, the easier communication gets, but the 'Lone Wolf' mindset is so ingrained into her psyche that it can slow progression to a snail's pace. It doesn't help that she was never a people person to begin with and quite irritable, too, with an odd tendency to brood when left alone for too long.
Dream Weaver, there's no doubt about it. She has the perception and sixth sense of one, not to mention her innate ability to physically interact with people's dreams. She mainly uses her status as a Dream Weaver to eat and create nightmares, which she prefers to do over obliterating them. She cannot bring herself to care for regular dreams because they're 'boring', geez, it's clear why she gets along with Kasiya so well.
She has yet to meet Spyro, Sparx, or anyone that wasn't a Dream Weaver or a Fairy and frankly, she's indifferent about it. 'Cairo, was it? I'm going to have to decline the 'playdate' you set up for us, Bakari, because I'm sure we both have better things to be doing'. In a scenario where she and him do finally meet, she's going to be standoffish and cold towards him while he gives a ridiculous amount of sass right back at her, it would be a disaster.
She doesn't like talking about how she got her cuffs, and, by extension, her past. 'Let's... Not talk about it. All you need to know... Is that it was bad'. She hates dreaming with a passion as they bring forth memories thought to have been suppressed. The one, singular story to leave her mind was about her birth, how she stayed in her egg past infancy slowly absorbing the magic within the air. The first face to greet her was one of a dragon full of malice and rapacity... He's no longer in this world... And that's where her story stopped.
She uses two particular elements that would take lifetimes to master, Shadow and Fear. The only way she'd be able to get that kind of power is if it was bestowed to her or if she was born with it, a one in a billion chance. The origins of her powers are dubious at best, but with Shadow she can dive into her own shadow and surprise enemies with sneak attack, and with Fear she can paralyze her enemies and cause hallucinations. She's strong, no debate, but relies heavily on magic rather than physical skill to win her battles.
She resides in Dark Passage, where she acts quite hostile to perceived threats when they get too close to the territory she's guarding. A few months ago, she had been rescued by Bakari after being found unconscious near the 'Return Home' portal in Dark Passage. Her first instinct was to attack the old man who swiftly put her to sleep. Several grueling weeks passed, but she eventually warmed up to all the Dream Weavers, and quietly swore to protect them alone with her life.
Claustrophobic and will instantly grow anxious if confined to a small space without any natural lighting. Any room she's in needs at least one window or she'll be on edge, more than usual, for the remainder of her stay. 'Give me a minute, it's stuffy in here... It's hard to breathe'. It got bad once when she fell into a Fool's trap, an empty spring box, and she was hysterical in the pitch-black dimension. If Obasi hadn't been there to soothe and release her, she would've unleashed her second form in a blind panic.
She can manifest herself as an intimidating dragoness but can't keep that form for long. It's all an illusion, a combination of the Shadow and Fear elements that doesn't improve her strength in any way. She takes this form when dealing with the extremely aggressive Fools and Devil Dogs. Hmm, her transformation is quite similar to theirs, it must definitely be from overexposure to the twisted magic of the Dream Weaver Realms.
