BAM! Finally some good art, and some proper fullbody refs of Djuri’s crazy family. Wow, they’ve come a long way since THEN! Ohman, that was almost two years ago now. Ohjeeze. And back then, none of them really had any personality either.
So left to right: Falcor, Sindri, Ulf, Eitri, Djuri.
We already know everything about Djuri really. Uh, and I’m hoping to do proper sheets for her family, so I don’t want to get too into rambling right now. Also not pictured, Benevelen (who doesn’t actually live in the same town). Ah, I also changed a lot about their clothing to suit their growing personalities better. Also I lopped off Falcor’s leg. I’m not sorry.

Beware for a wall of writing again. Yes, lookit me, another redo of a sheet. I am on a roll! I really wanted to redo Djuri’s though, not ‘cause she’s changed much, but because my art has, and I drew her old sheet almost two years ago now… wow. So here’s a new one for her. She’s just gotten more grumpy, and her wings are a lot smaller… not much else really.
Full Name: Djúrí Falcosdóttír (Dyure-ee Fal-kose-dot-ter)

Ruler: Bahamut
Species: Draconian (Western Dragon)
Gender: Female (pretends to be male)
Nationality: Nordic (Viking)
Status: In a relationship with Gavriil
Orientation: Straight
Height: 5’6”

Djúrí is a complicated character, despite how she likes to keep things simple. She is known for her possessiveness and jealousy, but is also very loyal. She has a good memory and will always remember how people treat her and combining this to her inability to let things go, Djúrí can hold a deep grudge. Though, she will also remember those who were kind to her and make sure they are repaid.
Being a dragon and a Viking makes Djúrí extremely stubborn and independent. This gives her a large fear of failure, and doesn’t like to be shown as weak; with this mentality, Djúrí tries to be as boyish as she can under the assumption that masculinity is strength. She is extremely careful with her secret of being female. Because of her secrets, she is very wary about trusting people. Though Djúrí will go out and ask questions about others. Djúrí is very curious, but also is prone to having a big mouth and frequently gossips.
History:
Djúrí spent her whole life in a small Viking village of less than a hundred people. The village consisted entirely of dragons, located in the north east on a rocky island. Her parents were very young when they began their family. Though her three brothers, her father, and herself were all dragons, her mother was not. Benevelen, Djúrí’s mother, was a harpy from the main land. Being the only harpy in a village that was only populated by dragons was not the easiest thing, especially since genetically, Benevelen was very androgynous and was constantly being bothered by the other villagers for it. After having three dragon sons, she was sure Djúrí would be a bird, but was extremely disappointed when she wasn’t. So Benevelen took Djúrí to the Kiwitch, in hopes of changing this, but the witch urged her not to. She listened, and took Djúrí back home, unchanged. After that though, Benevelen left, and none of them have seen her since.
Djúrí grew up being the only girl in the house and ended up taking on more boyish traits. The young dragon also inherited her mother’s androgyny, and small wings (which she could never fly with), and this made her a very easy target for bullies. The bullying was never what bothered her though, it was that in the village, Djúrí was always expected to be something she wasn’t. Her father, Falcor, had lost his leg and wasn’t able to work his fishing boat anymore, thus the job was handed down to his sons. Djúrí would never be able to help properly because of her small wings, so she stayed home and helped her father’s new blacksmith shop attached to their house. She was expected to help him every day. But at school, she was expected to be something completely different, more feminine. Taking classes that the girls had to take: cooking, homework, etiquette. The girls were never the nicest to poor Djúrí. They constantly made fun of how she wasn’t girly enough, how she couldn’t cook as well as them, how she slumped when she sat. They called her a boy, and she could never go play with them. The boys weren’t much better. They too, wouldn’t let her play with them, because she was a girl… she had to go play with dolls, not swords. The only one who never judged her, was her own brother, Sindri. She and her oldest brother became very close, and always told her to never give in to how people saw her.
Years later after putting up with all the loneliness that came with not fitting in, Djúrí realized she didn’t want to be a blacksmith, or a fisherman. She wanted to create, and draw, and see the world. So after a lot of convincing, her family (mainly just her father and Sindri) let her go. She’d live off the commissions she made creating for people. Djúrí packed up her sketchbooks and left. Her first decision on her own, was to tell everyone she was male, because she assumed the rest of the world was just like her village. Djúrí liked the freedom that comes with masquilinity. So she travels the continent, content with her new life, and checks in on her family every so often.

This is my third time trying to remake his sheet, but I think I’m finally happy with it. JP is the hardest person ever to figure out how to friggin’ draw. Frig. But I think my artblock has passed long enough for me to finally submit this. Also his personality is a ton different from when I first made him, so his whole sheet needed a redo. I’ll be re-posting Djuri soon too. Also I have no idea how to do the read more thing when I have my html enabled, it bugs the hell out of me when it’s not.
Full Name: Jean-Paul Riviere (JP)
Age: 29
Ruler: Trezubets
Species: Salamander(American alligator)
Gender: Male
Nationality: Cajun
Status: Single
Orientation: Straight
Height: 6’5"/11’(including tail)
Class: High
Personality:
-Strength Keywords: Disciplined, dependable, hard working, loyal, trustworthy, honest
-Weakness Keywords: Stubborn, jealous, ignorant, aggressive, resentful, inflexible
There is a lot more to Jean-Paul than meets the eye. He is a huge, intimidating alligator bodyguard (although much smaller than the average gator), but those few who do get to know him know that he is much more than that. Jean-Paul is the sort of man who is an excellent friend, but has few close friends as opposed to many acquaintances. The small amount he holds close to are always guarded and protected, and are treated like family. He is fiercely loyal and dependable, but can be quiet and very defensive around strangers.
History:
No one knows what happened to Jean-Paul’s parents; he doesn’t have any, and he is not set on finding out why. He was, and still is, very tiny for his species (regardless of how large he actually is), and was wandering the streets of Zemli for the first few years of his life. Jean-Paul lived off the small fish he could catch and anything that the richer folk would throw out or give to him. This forced him to mature quicker than he normally would have while he was trying to keep himself alive. When he was seven and making the rounds up and down the alleys of Zemli looking for some food he witnessed a small shark undine being picked on by a few older boys of the same species. Without pausing to think, Jean-Paul intervened and protected the smallest shark, getting a few bruises in the process. After he managed to chase them off, Jean-Paul helped the undine find his parents–which was none other than the king of Zemli, Trezubets. And as thanks for saving the prince, and learning the gator was all alone, Trezubets took him in and adopted him as his own.
Jean-Paul and Gavriil grew up extremely close. Both were homeschooled in the palace together by a private teacher, and they really looked out for each other while Trezubets was busy running the city. Gavriil was the more favoured of the pair, especially with the higher ups. This always bothered Jean-Paul, feeling like they did not see him as a son of Trezubets. Though he was liked by the staff of the castle, and he often spent what time he was away from the shark prince with them. He was particularly close with the head cook Gotovit, who taught him how to prepare all the palace cuisine. Jean-Paul was frequently poked fun at by younger members of the palace society for being too large. This made him look up to any adult figure who was not as lean and thin as most of the sharks in the city. Along with the steadily growing Trezubets, the larger puffer fish Gotovit gave him some confidence in being comfortable with his own size.
During his teen years, Jean-Paul began to lose a lot of his self confidence. While he and his brother were still very close, Gavriil was far more popular with kids their own age, and especially with the ladies. Jean-Paul on the other hand could not seem to get a date to save his life. At seventeen a pod of monk whales were passing by who Trezubets let stay in the palace over night. The gator immediately looked up to the larger men, asking them for advice and teachings. They did what they could, but the whales would not be staying long enough to help him really grow comfortable in his own scales. Looking for something to remember the men by, and having scales too thick to get tattoos like them, Jean-Paul instead got his earlobe pierced. The monks than gave him an earring meaning ‘good luck’ as a gift before leaving. Not long afterwards he attempted to give himself a second piercing, but ended up taking a chunk out of his ear instead. He was eventually successful, but never tried to get another one after that.
The alligator never had much luck for most of his life, but grew to be fairly content (or just used to) what he had.
