For those who don't know my Tumblr, I have crackshipped them for months but this is my first fanart. I think it could fit : she is neutral, and I HC Ripto will reform to a neutral character. He's a jerk with a big ego wanting to be king, she's an egocentric princess caring only about what happens to her and to her citadel. He is angry, she seems to have a colorful language. She is represented by ice, he is represented by lava. So I had to give her a Reignited design and try (I tried) I think it turnt out good, she is cuteand both look nice. Also HC her name is Charlene
So as said, I HC, with either a fanfic or a comic collab (then I would need somebody), that Ripto would reform 2 years after Ripto's Rage, as he was not naturally evio but only because he grew up in a loveless environment. But as said, as scars can't heal suddenly, he would not become good but just neutral, no longer trying to take power by force nor trying to kill dragons and Spyro, but still acting like that racist uncle toward them and being a jerky grump. And still wanting power... But as he would no longer want to take power by force, he would need a strategy. He knows he has no chance in elections after everything he did on people, so... he could be through marriage. He just needs to find a princess or a queen and voilà, he becomes prince consort and could convince her for some laws and rules, and he would have respect !
But which female monarch... Queen Finny ? He would drown just by living with her. Princess Ami ? She hates him. The Sorceress ? She was dead (plusshealmostdestroyedbabiesthatssickeventohisownstandards) So... only one left, the Ice Princess, in an icy place but there must be heaters and fireplaces where she lives. So he would try courting her. And that would be hard as she is mostly "I admire you" "I admire myself too" "..." But surprisingly he would get attached. And she too, and so on and so on...
