Matthias
Escaped the Northern Vallan’Gangst Empire after a his home was attacked by Dragonslayers of the North (reason unknown). He spent three years traveling to study dragons. He’s currently staying in the small town of Lionsburg located in the region of Argentfall.
He’s currently living as a guest- and frequent patient- of the Blackshore family after being kicked out for getting into a fight with Allan- the patriarch of said family.
If given the chance, he prefers to keep to himself, though he tends to form very strong bonds with the few people he grows to trust. Even going so far as to recklessly put himself in harms way for them.
He formed a relationship with Ari after she expressed a shared interest in studying dragons- and hunting- oddly enough.
Ari (Ari’Malcros)
The Emerald Dragon of Argentfall- mostly disguised as a young maiden except when she needs to fly or comfortably resting at home, as her human form isn’t comfortable for long periods of time.
Eldest daughter of the powerful elven family ruling Argentfall. Naturally curious. She’s been wanting to leave Argentfall and hunt for treasure- but her family- with elves preferring to stay and preserve the home- have been unable to accompany her.
Though usually cheerful and pleasant, there’s a great darkness underneath- she has a lovely singing voice- which is used to lure and consume prey.
She currently lives with her father, stepmother, and four half sisters.
The Blackshore Family
Allan Blackshore
Half orc Dragon Honor Guard. Married to Carrie and Father of Agnes.
An adventurer in his youth, he fell in love with Lionsburg’s hospitable culture and decided to settle there with his wife and daughter. He participated in the Dragon Trials (the coming of age ritual where young men fight the dragon and earn their scars and place in society) three years prior to the story.
Carrie (Caroline) Blackshore
The town healer. She’s the wife of Allan and mother of Agnes. You would expect most healers to be kind and nurturing, and Carrie is kind, but brutally honest and will call you out on your stupidity.
After Allan was a frequent patient of hers, the two eventually fell in love and went adventuring together- ultimately settling down in Lionsburg.
Agnes Blackshore
The young daughter of Allan and Carrie. She frequently uses her cuteness to her advantage.
Cute as she is, she is incredibly fierce, and wants to be a brave warrior like her daddy when she grows up.
She’s grown to view Matthias as an older brother, and she’s terrified of Ari- as the dragon is always saying she’s going to squish and eat her (not maliciously, it’s the kind of thing you say to a cute thing, just maybe don’t say it if you’re a dragon!)
The Emerald Clan
Ari’s family. A clan of elves that ruled Argentfall for centuries. Their power having originated from the dragon Emral’Drath.
Minerva of Argentfall
A powerful sorceress in her own right. In her youth, she was known as The Silver Witch- one of the terrifying leaders of the Sisters of the Harpy- a diabolical witch coven that gripped Argentfall in fear and darkness.
All who crossed her path knew to be afraid… except for one… the dragon Emral’Drath. The dragon saw the Minerva for who she really was- a child born with uncontrollable magic who could only find a family in the most vile people.
Minerva, Emral’Drath, and Patricius all fought alongside eachother. Minerva even became the godmother of Ari- Emral’Drath and Patricius’ child.
Dragonlord Patricius
“If you think you’re the hero of this story… you’re sadly mistaken.”
The mysterious patriarch of the family. Prior to his marriage to Minerva, he was the Dragon Champion of Emral’Drath (dragonrider)
Much is known about him- but it’s unclear how much is fact and how much is propaganda thought up by the Empire to the North- of which he is something of a boogyman.
Though he’s hundreds of years old, those closest to him would tell you that he has an immature sense of humor.
Emral’Drath the Pious (deceased)
Emral’Drath was the previous Emerald dragon. She was Patricius’ first wife and the biological mother of Ari.
A genuinely kind and caring soul at heart, Emral’Drath is known for her dedication to helping those unable to help themselves, and teaching those who could to better be able to. She always saw the good in everybody and believed no one was beyond redemption.
She died protecting Argentfall from an enemy dragon.
Briallen of Argentfall
Ari’s half sister and closest friend. Briallen was born with bad eyes that hinder her ability to shoot arrows- a skill which she frustratingly refuses to give up on. She developed a love for languages after studying the Draconic language Ari was born with the ability to speak it.
She can speak hundreds of languages- but she’s never traveled anywhere. She and Ari talked about traveling for decades, but every time the opportunity presented itself, Briallen always had some excuse.
