A small update to Miette's character sheet! I've just tweaked a few things about her, like removing some of the ridges / segments on her tail and underbelly, while making her horns and tail spikes much more jagged and deadly. I want her to be mostly a soft and squishy dragon with deadly tips. I've also added some scale patterns on her ears and thighs to round out the design.
All her info is below. Enjoy!
Full Name: Marietta "Miette" Lamellier
Gender: Herm (She/Her)
Species: Ice Dragon
Height: 4 ft, 5 in.
Age: 23
Occupation: Blacksmith's Assistant, Rookie Monster Hunter
TRAITS AND PERSONALITY
Miette is a bubbly, outgoing shopkeeper and forge assistant, working for the renowned rabbit blacksmith Carrick in a busy mountain town. A diminutive, yet feisty shortstack dragon, Miette enjoys the hustle and bustle of her everyday life, always in a hurry to get to her next task or thing to do before she's finished with her current one. She's a bit of a daydreamer, often imagining all the great things she'll do in the future instead of focusing on the present. As a result, she can be somewhat clumsy - knocking things over in the shop with her large tail - and easily spooked if she's not paying attention to her surroundings. Miette works extremely hard as the face of Carrick's blacksmithing business, and greets all her customers with an enthusiastic smile, calling them by name and asking about their days. She ensures no coin goes unaccounted for, no floor is left unswept, and no item is out of place in Carrick's shop. However, she really wishes she could be the one with the hammer in her hand, crafting armor and weapons herself. Carrick hasn't let her use the forge herself just yet, but her downtime at her job is spent intently studying Carrick's craft and reading through his tomes and notes.
But a shopkeeper isn't the only job Miette has. While her work as a blacksmith's assistant is fulfilling, she also sometimes gets restless, craving adventure and danger. To satisfy her cravings, she works as a part time hunter for a local monster hunting guild, answering the call to defend the local villages when the need arises. She's still a bit of a rookie when it comes to combat, but is quickly rising up the ranks as a respected hunter; she has a natural talent for hunting down prey, and she finds there's even a part of her that enjoys the violent, bloody part of slaying a murderous beast. However, she has plenty to learn still from more seasoned hunters: her combat techniques are unrefined, and she lacks some awareness on the battlefield. She's caused a few friendly fire incidents on hunts thanks to reckless swings of her sword and tail, and has needed saving from an ambush or two where she focused too hard on one target.
ABILITIES
As an ice dragon, Miette has a wide array of natural and magical gifts at her disposal. Her natural ones include teeth, horns and spikes that are made of incredibly durable elemental ice crystals that naturally grow from her body, and she can willingly chill them down to cause instantaneous frostbite, or worse, to whatever they touch. Her pale blue scales share some of the same durability, providing tough natural defenses on most of her body, but the white portions of her body are much, much softer. Her fleshy bits are naturally cool due to her biology as an ice dragon, but not so cold as to be uncomfortable to another's touch, unless she wants them to be. Her tail is highly dangerous, covered in sharp ice crystals that can be grown out to cause more damage to whatever she whips it at. Her physical strength is average at best, and she lacks stamina.
Her control of ice and cold extends beyond her body though, and she's able to magically manipulate frost and ice as well. The most common example of this is her use of her sword in battle, which is only constructed from the handle to the hilt. Her small size and lack of strength prevent her from using a normal metal greatsword, so she instead constructs one at will out of pure elemental ice summoned from her very own body. It is every bit as sharp as the most honed metal blade there is, and her ice manipulation powers assist in making it trivially easy to swing. It can become brittle and break though with enough use, as the ice she summons is not near as durable as the ice that naturally grows from her body. She can also breath frost like any ice dragon could, as well as summon small area blizzards, fling ice shards and do many other things with her powers.
FUN FACTS / TRIVIA
You should be able to find a few visual nods to certain popular media characters / species in her design:
* Her hair's an (unintentional) play on Faye Valentine's from Cowboy Bebop, but a little shorter and with bangs. I originally had her headband be red, and didn't notice the similarities until I swapped it to be orange. As soon as I did, I audibly went 'Ooooooohhhhhh'. I nearly changed it back, but I think it's distinct enough and I like the orange better to contrast against her mostly blue body.
* Her armor has cues from Poppy's design from League of Legends as well. Poppy was a huge starting inspiration for this character's theme as well, a little shortstack with a big weapon. Miette's sword could be much bigger... or a hammer if she wanted it to be... just sayin'.
* Her big, floppy ears and some parts of her armor I adapted from Guild Wars 2, from the Asura race. I love the physics on those ears in game, how they straighten up in combat, and some of their cultural armor pieces are just wonderful. Miette's ears don't really straighten up though, she doesn't have much control over how they move.
* Her name is primarily French in origin. The meanings behind her names are rather loose, but Marietta is supposed to mean "bitter" or "of the sea", which was close enough to cold for me. Her nickname, Miette, means "little crumb, or morsel". Her last name is kind of a stretch from the french translation of 'the best' (La meilleure) and Lamellar, as in the type of layered armor.
This character was created and designed by me, and I'd like to keep it that way. Fan art is welcome, but please give credit where it belongs.
