M irror mirror on the wall. As the gateway to the soul, the most striking feature of the dragon is her eyes. They are so intensely gold in color that they seem to glow, even in the dark. Her eyes are always, always highlighted with a soft, pink shadow to give her creamy, pale skin a healthy looking glow. Her eyebrows are short, only about half the length of her eyes. Her ears are long, sticking straight out to the sides. At about half of their length, they appear to fold over themselves as if the top is too heavy to stand upright on it's own. Ranis' lips are naturally a light pink, but she is known to color them red or gray, depending on her mood. Usually, they are gray. She's of average height in her humanoid form, standing at just five feet six inches tall. Her body seems to have been crafted to perfection, with just the right amount of curves in all of the right places. The proportion of her body seems to be rather even, thought her hips are just a bit wide. Her hair always appears to be meticulously done. Her bangs are just long enough to cover her eyes when worn normally. Save for the bangs that do not fall into her direct line of sight, Ranis tucks the bangs that would hang over her eyes to the sides and pins it in place. Most often, her hair is worn in a ponytail which is tied with her own, braided hair. The ponytail hands down to her her hips. It is not uncommon to see her wearing a flower stuck in her hair, over her right ear usually, or wearing several earrings connected together with a chain. Ranis is always wearing clothing that looks rather expensive. It's rare if ever to see her without a fancy, lacy black choker around her neck. One her hands she usually wears gloves that match with the choker. Most often, she is seen wearing a dark blue kimono, which has an intricate, highly detailed peacock design woven in gold. Several floral patterns are also woven into the fabric as well, and rest mostly around her shoulder and the lower hem of the outfit. The obi sash is light red in color, and tied in a most intricate fashion forming several bows which lie off center, leaning towards the right. She is most often seen with her instrument case tied over her shoulder. In her Dragon form, Ranis is a large dragon with scales that look more like rose petals than scales. Even in this form, beauty seems to give way to appearing powerful. Her head is primarily black in color, slowly conforming into a black and red mane like pattern formed of her scales. Her neck is long, segmented by plates of black traced with red. This connects with the main body, which is obviously long. The scales here can stand or sit. They usually stand when she is trying to intimidate an opponent. At times such as these, her body appears to be that of a large, black and red rose. When she is transporting others, something she rarely does, the scales sit. The thin flesh of her wings is translucent, sectioned like the outer portion of a flower's petals. Her tail is long, and like her neck, primarily black in color with a red patter highlighting and segmenting it. It appears to be much like the stem of a rose, complete with thorns. Her legs are the same black color, the nails which reside at the end are the same bright shade of red as her body. ? ? Wise Powerful Resourceful Determined Protective Insightful ??? T he real me. With more than twenty thousand years of life experience, it should come as no surprise to any that Ranis is one of the smartest living beings on the planet. Her life experience has granted her more wisdom than the most thorough library could provide. For such a wise person, one would think that she would be more serious in her undertakings, but that usually isn't the case. She has earned the nickname Troublesome Queen for a reason. She's a rather carefree individual who has pushed the responsibility of governing the Dragon Kingdom onto those who serve under her. Ruling is troublesome in her opinion, and after about twenty thousand years of doing so, she's grown tired of it. She sees herself as nothing more than a figure head now, and rarely does anything beyond signing off on the few things that she needs to do. In whatever she does, she pushes forward with a unwavering determination, not stopping until she is able to achieve whatever it was that her mind was set upon doing. Ranis is a confident woman who takes pride in her ability, appearance, and status as a Queen though she doesn't carry out her responsibilities as a Queen . Like most dragons, she has quite a bit of an ego and can act a bit self-centered at times. It is fairly easy to get on her good side by stroking her ego. It is best to compliment her beauty or her strength, which tends to automatically put her in a particularly good mood. Generally, she appears to be a bright and cheerful individual with a good sense of humor who enjoys a good laugh and having a good time. She is unfamiliar with human society, and has recently become fascinated by it. Because of her lack of knowledge in such things, humans generally see her as childish. Those who actually understand her would use the word whimsical to describe her. When she grows close to someone, she tends to go so far as to proclaim them as hers. There are very few people that she's actually said this about - those people being the Queen of Light and the Four Knights. To these people, she is fiercely loyal and protective of. For them, she would do anything. Since the betrayal of the Treacherous Knight and the death of the Queen of light, Ranis has grown noticeably depressed. She feels guilty for not being able to save the Queen when she knew about the King of Darkness' plan and partially blames herself for what happened. Those two individuals are the only beings in all of her life that she has come to genuinely hate. They are also the only ones who can push her to the point where her temper explodes. The angered Dragon Queen is just as fearsome as one would expect a dragon to be - an out of control beast bent on the destruction of what angers her. ??? T he past is history. Ranis Zaberisi was born the Crown Princess of the Dragon Kingdom over twenty-thousand years ago. Being of noble birth, and an only child, she has been spoiled and it shows to this day. Her parents were loving individuals who cared for her a great deal up until the day they died. Her father died of natural causes about five thousand years after her birth, and her mother died from the grief of losing her husband about six years later. This left Ranis in charge of the Dragon Kingdom since those days. Over the years, the new Queen spent a lot of time ruling and watching over the world from the sidelines, preferring not to get into the affairs of the other beings and retain neutrality. There were many reasons for this, but mostly because she didn't want to be bothered with such affairs. Ranis' life was a sheltered one for a time. However, after meeting and getting to know humans a little better, she has become fascinated by them. A young dragon by the name of Andusk was hand selected by the Queen to gather more information about the human world in secret, a precursor to what would be the next major event in the ruler's life. It was Andusk's refusal to come home, due to what even the socially awkward Queen could recognize as love, that the Ranis decided to just leave the kingdom one day, leaving her responsibility to the royal retainers and the council of elders that advised her. During her travels, she sought audience with the Queen of Light and met the human who would become her best friend. It was common to see her about the Palace, speaking with servants, joking, and acting more like a brute than nobility. She met with the Knight's on several occasion's befriending them all enough for her to consider them hers as well. There were several occasions when Ranis met with the King of Darkness, who was attempting to convince her to join his cause and betray the Queen of Light. Ranis thought such a notion to not only be foolish, but even threatened the King's life on several occasions. Unbeknowest them all, the King planted his seeds into one of the knights. A tragedy happened that none of them expected - that very knight betrayed the kingdom and slayed the Queen. With the forces of darkness fast approaching, the dragon had no choice but to flee with the other knights in anguish. For a short time, she stayed with the knights, to make sure that they would all be alright before she took off on her own. Since those days, Ranis has been aimlessly wandering the human world ever thinking about the stance of neutrality that the her people have taken up. The time is fast approaching for her to decide which side to take in the conflict, and though the choice is a simple one, making it is harder than anything else. ? d ? ??? I 'm used to it When thinking, she'll often tap her cheek or flip her ear. She treats people she is close to as equals, and will often wrap an arm around their shoulders and joke with them. She is quick to remind anyone who shows her disrespect that she is a Queen and will put then back in their place if need be. Usually remains in her humanoid form. When walking around, or bored, she will sometimes hum a tune to herself or softly sing a song. ??? R aindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens. Her Humanoid Form Humans and Human Culture A good laugh Doing as she pleases ??? W hen the dog bites. - Being confined or obligated to do something - The King of Darkness - The demons overrunning the world ??? W hen the bee stings. - Mice - Bugs, especially roaches. ? ??? ?? ? ? ??? F eel my wrath. The Dragon Queen has a unique repertoire of skills at her disposal. Like most dragons, she is capable of using transformation magic. This is the magic that allows her to take on her human form, a form which she has taken quite a liking to. Lately, she's been staying in this form. This magic also allows her to change parts of her body as needs. Usually, she uses the magic to form her wings and tail so that she can fly. This is her main method of travel, as she finds most other forms of travel to be much too slow for her liking. Ranis is a bard, and as such, makes use of music and story telling to encourage and support others. Using her music, she can help her companions relax so that they can concentrate better on the fight at hand. Relaxation is one of the most underrated things one can have on the battlefield. While most give into the rage, anger, tension, and other things rising within them, keeping their heads level so that they are less likely to fly into a blind rage and fall into an enemy's trap. Her second song is a song to help increase the offensive powers of her companions. By raising their spirits and their morale, her companions will more motivated to pull off attacks that do more damage to their enemies. ??? C ower beneath my blade. Ranis may be a bard, but she is by no means defenseless in combat on her own. The only weapon she is ever seen carrying is the katana worn over her left hip. It is, indeed, the only weapon she needs. She is by no means a master swordsman, but at the same time, she isn't so much of a novice that she can't hold her own. Because of the way the blade is forged, the weapon is most useful when used to cut and slice rather than thrust like most double edged weapons are. Therefore, she uses a highly defensive style, preferring to allow her enemy to make the first move so that she can block and counter or parry the move and get into a more advantageous positions so that she can counter attack. ? ? ? ??? T his connection is deep. Ranis met and became close to the Queen of Light and her four knights. She was the closest, however, with Kali herself and also with Brand, the youngest of the knights. It goes without saying that she spent most of her time with Kali, the two of them formed a very tight bond with one another. She spent a lot of time with Brand as well, who was sent to the north as a guardian for the Long Empire. Ranis shares close ties with Valen as well, watching over the champion knight not unlike the way that Kali had. Admittedly, she wasn't as close with Altima or Gandrian. Ranis does not like Gandrian now, after what he did to Kali, but can't bring herself to hate him as she knows Kali wouldn't want that. ??? Y our sound of death. Replica , Seven Sirens and a Silver Tear , A Funeral for Yesterday ??? F ulfil your curiosity. No one knows for sure just what kind of relationship the two queens had for one another, but Ranis is almost one hundred percent sure that what she felt, and still feels, for Kali is love. Unfortunately, the younger queen died before any confessions of love or anything more could have truly blossomed between the two of them. To this day, if any of the knights asked her what she felt towards the queen, she would confess the love one would feel for a friend, as admitting how she truly felt would be much too painful. ??? S how them proudly I can paint the world with flowers that grow by heaven's gate . Sincerely yours, DudeGuy.
