Daria (pronounced: DAHR-ee-uh) Introduced: Strip #614 Age: One hundred and fifty-eight (approximately seventeen in human years). Species: Dragon. Personality: Daria has an extremely short attention span and sometimes faulty memory. She's absolutely brilliant when she puts her mind to something, but it's rare that she finishes a project that takes longer than a few days -- or hours -- of work. Her latest obsession is technology, so she invents a lot of strange things. Other: When Daria was a baby, an Oracle made a prophecy about her. Her parents were killed by dragon-slayers because of this, and she was raised by her older sister. Within the last few years, another set of dragon-slayers killed her brother-in-law and her older sister. Despite so many sad things happening in her past, Daria is cheerful and refuses to angst. Her hyper enthusiasm can be both infectious and exasperating. |
Gavin (pronounced: GAE-vin) Introduced: Strip #570 Age: Three. Species: Dragon. Personality: Gavin is an energetic, cheerful, exciteable toddler. He loves his family, flying, playing games, chewing on things, and getting into trouble -- well, until Mommy notices and gets mad. Being a toddler, Gavin has a defiant streak and a tendency to find way more mischief than an adult would suspect. He loves his mommy and Auntie Daria. Other: Gavin was so young when his birth parents died that he barely remembers them. He was inconsolable for the first few months after Daria's sister and brother-in-law died, but Cecelia and Daria were there for him the whole time. He accepts Cecelia as his mommy wholeheartedly now, and may even have forgotten she wasn't there originally. |
Cecelia Introduced: Strip #563 Age: Twenty-two. Species: Dragon (originally human). Personality: Cecelia is level-headed and mature for her age. This works out well, because she's now Gavin's adopted mother, and he's a toddler that is quite a handful. Other: During the summer she was twenty, Cecelia's father accidentally turned her into a dragon. Horrified and self-conscious, she flew off and stayed gone for a long time. While she was gone, she met Daria's older sister, recently widowed and dying from the wounds the dragon-slayers had given her. Daria's sister made her promise to take care of her baby if she didn't survive -- and then she died. Cecelia went to the Oracle of Lycanth and asked to be made a dragon permanently so that she could keep that promise. |
