I noticed something about the Canon dragons in Darksiders.
Frostbane and the Destroyer. They both move similarly to cats!
It makes me wonder what other feline traits they exhibit when they're not trying to fight the horsemen.
It was a lot of inspiration for me when Nyörun was first in development.

A bag of herbs, filled with both remedies and poisons. The pride of one who builds and destroys.

A random thought
I may be cringe for saying this, but I had a funny thought...
It is a personal headcanon of mine that Strife R E E K S. Not that I can blame him, it's an easy thing to forget from time to time. If he or Death get too stinky and decide to be in her presence, Nyorun bathes them in the cleansing power of her fire.
No stinkies allowed!!!
(Maybe I will sketch something for this at some point.)

How does Nyorun feel about family?
She has a good relationship with her family, and so she would give her life to them!
She finds family an important value, but also finds the value in a chosen family, and that is why she vows to herself to be a worthy found family member at any given opportunity. No matter the circumstances.
And those under her care will find a safe space with her.

🍀 I'll tell you about a lucky charm or superstition my OC believes in.
Nyorun, as a Maker, believes that everything crafted has its own spirit or soul. To honor her father, she carved a statue of him, lifesize. She consults it in times of distress and sleeps by it because she believes that a piece of her father's soul will find a place within the stone she carved.
Before she leaves her den to survey the Earth for any survivors, she asks the statue of Eideard to protect her home, or guide wayward souls to her home where they'll be safe.
Some days it feels like she really is looking down at her father.
....Or is it just the isolation setting in?

🌓 and I'll share how my OC handles moments of uncertainty.
Tumblr media
When Eideard is still alive, Nyörun typically just consults him for advice. His wisdom is a great comfort for her, especially since he always seemed so understanding of her needs.
After his passing, however, she found much more solace in solitude. Whenever she is uncertain or overcome with stress, she excuses herself for a walk...
Only in this case, it's airborne.
Simply put, she flies!
It's a great reliever at making her problems seem small, sometimes literally! Flying also gives her the opportunity to work out her problems before making rash decisions.

Tell us something about Nyörun that she finds embarrassing!
Tumblr media
When she was a hatchling she had a habit of chasing lights shining off of shields and weapons, never quite realizing where the source was.
And she still does this as an adult! It is very distracting and she gets embarrassed when that childish habit comes through when she needs to be serious.

Does Nyorun tend to argue or avoid conflict?
The easiest way to answer this one, my dear anon, is with my own question, "When are we viewing her character arc?"
She is a Maker at heart so naturally she is very stubborn! However, depending on where we see her in the story, she wears it differently.
So yes, she is argumentative, and too proud to back down if she believes herself to be correct, although, in some cases she has been proven wrong.
As Nyorun ages, she finds herself quietly holding onto her pride, because petty squabbles mean nothing.
When we first see her, she is very loud in her opinions and is not afraid to tell anyone what's on her mind.

How powerful is Nyörun?
Well, It depends on what you mean by "Powerful". Magically? Or physically? The answer to both of those questions is surprisingly similar! When her story first begins, she wants to reject what she is. She doesn't realize how important her role is. Adding this under the cut because it's very long. I kinda went ham answering this one!
By the end of her story, she is fully accepting of her role as the mouthpiece or avatar of the Tree of Life. So I guess the best comparison I can make is that she's the foil for Frostbane. He is the avatar of the void.
She can hold her own against fighting Abaddon or as she knows him, The Destroyer.
Tumblr media
She does not match him in military tactics and wit, but she is another dragon and has been one for what I assume is longer than him, so she is more aware of her body than he is.
There was a small story I was working on a long time ago with @coloredgravity and @crowsofafeather where her soul got stolen from her and while Death was trying to get it back, War was saddled with the duty of holding her off since he is the strongest of the Nephilim in raw strength.
In terms of magic? Nyorun is strong because she pulls hers from the Tree of Life, so her breath weapon is... a little op... Her magic has the ability to restore life, or return you to the lifestream. I.E. Kill you instantly. It's kinda a nuclear breath weapon; or a big biohazard. Despite that, it is beautiful.
Tumblr media
I found this gif a while ago so I'm not sure where to give the proper credit, but it's this blinding flash of light when used in a combat setting. sorry, this post was kinda long! I hope it helps answer the question!

A shooting star?
Tumblr media
It was a late night. 
You were up with guard duty. The sounds of your comrades sleeping peacefully in your makeshift camp, but there was no light. The light of campfires attracts attention if you’re not careful about hiding it, so once the sun went down, you and your crew smothered the flames. The embers long subsided.
Your eyes made their way to the sky, trying to placate your climbing anxiety about the rustling of the dying flora. Word on the wind was there was a sanctuary somewhere far away, and if you and your friends were lucky, you may indeed find it. One surefire way of knowing was after dark.
A shooting star. Brighter than all the others in the deep blue sky. It was always going the same way, around the same time every night on your journey. Without fail. You would never tell your friends about this, they gave up their superstitions long ago, but seeing the light always gave you hope. Rekindled your willingness to survive and fight.
As you saw the star again, a smile crossed your features; but something was strange this time...
You could have sworn you heard a roar emanating from the sky.

Can Nyörun sing or play any instruments?
I think in her human form, Nyörun can absolutely sing. She's an alto!
In her dragon form, it's a little tricky, as I've noticed that dragons in Darksiders have interestingly ethereal, echo-y voices. Maybe they can harmonize when they sing alone! I think Nyörun does anyway.
I wonder what it would sound like if the dragons all sang together? I think it would either sound really good, or really bad, as I think Nyörun is the only one without such a gravely voice. To me she sounds kinda like Sapphira from the Eragon film or Alexstrasza from World of Warcraft.
Sadly, she has no instrumental tact. Not for a lack of trying! She gets frustrated when she's not good at things right away, and a dragon's frustration leads to broken objects nine times out of ten.

So I've been playing through the Spyro reignited trilogy in my free time and I realized something super cute!
Baby Nyörun would absolutely frolick like Spyro does! She probably does it as an adult too, but it's significantly less cute when scaled up to her adult size
Here's a good gif example of what I mean:
Tumblr media
She probably had to move this way as a baby because her body was very fat and potato shaped. She doesn't do it as frequently as an adult but sometimes when she's in an open area she will scamper.
Just imagine a full grown dragon frolicking like a baby... ❤️
Maybe if I ever get around to animating, I'll try and draw Spyro's run cycle with her

When Nyörun and Fury first met, it didn't go very well. Their personalities were very opposite. Fury didn't like that Nyörun would try and threaten her, and Nyörun didn't like that Fury would throw her weight around and have that sort of attitude.
So here the girls are, having a clearly peaceful discussion.
Tumblr media
Don't worry, they don't know it yet, but they'll be friends.

So wait, does Nyorun move to Earth after the End War? Also whats War up to? Do they get married and/or have kids?
Tumblr media
I think Nyorun remains on Earth for a long time; at least 100 years so she even has the chance to meet War. Depending on how long it takes for his journey to end, I like to think that they do develop a relationship; but if she was in the game herself, I think their relationship would be written like a studio ghibli film.
They have mutual respect for each other. They're both strong, and teach each other different aspects of life they take to heart. And through this respect for one another, they bond closely.
She stays on Earth at first as a promise to the Nephilim Death and it's also a promise to her people. She feels guilt for not being able to save her family in the fateful last raid in Darksiders 3. She stays as a last beacon and fully intended to die on Earth one day.
For now she is just trying to restore it and be its guardian until it is healthy enough for humans to return. She holds out hope for that.
When War and Nyorun eventually do have kids, they have a single son named Viir. (Pronounced Veer) He's a gentle boy. Quite the scaredy-cat when he's little!
