Eren

Eren is the main protagonist of Dragon's Heir Season 1. As of EP4, he has activated his powers and has escaped Ismira's Roost.

## Appearance

Eren has short brown hair, lighter skin, and bright green eyes. He rarely changes his outfit, wearing his signature purple coat with a fur hood. He also wears light brown boots, with a strap down the middle, and pale fur trim. He also wears purplish-grey pants, which are the same color as his horns.

In Episodes 1-3, Eren doesn't have any dragon-like features. After he activates his powers in Ismira's Roost, he grows a pair of short horns. His hands also become purplish.

## Personality

Eren is optimistic and easygoing. He gets along fairly well with others. He speaks somewhat bluntly, which offends other characters, when he doesn't mean any harm. He demonstrates this in EP3, by interrupting Aurel and Aspen's conversation. He wants to find Avalon, which is more important to him than talking to Aurel, apparently.

Eren is shown to be childlike, often viewing his surroundings in a narrow perspective. As he activates his powers, he realizes that everything isn't as simple as he thought it was. He suddenly has to mature in order to understand his situation. He fears himself, and what he's capable of.

Eren expresses his emotions in an exaggerated manner. He's volatile, often reacting way more than he should when easily stressed or cornered.

Eren's main flaw is his impulsivity. He rarely thinks before he acts, often jumping headfirst into danger. In EP1, Eren doesn't even consider the risk of The Dragon Stone. He picks it up, completely disregarding Carnelian behind him. When confronted about this behavior, Eren brushes it off, saying he "will be careful," but gets into more trouble in EP2. His rash behavior carries over to EP3, where he jumps at Burnem to take back the stone. This activates his powers, knocking him out in EP4.

## History

#### Pre-Season 1

Not much is known about Eren's past, aside from his parents being absent from his life. Avalon adopted him and his sister, taking them in after The Draconian War.

## Abilities

He has demonstrated multiple abilities:

* Draconian Magic
	+ Eren can pull energy from The Dragon Stone. This caused his powers to activate, which changed his appearance. The stone doesn't burn him, despite burning other characters when they touch it.
	+ It's speculated that Eren can change into a dragon form, but he hasn't done that yet.
	+ Since Eren pulled from his own energy reserves in EP4, it caused him to pass out.
	+ As a result, whenever Eren overexerts himself, he gets a nosebleed.
* Fire
	+ Eren can use the Dragon Stone to create magical fire.
* Magical Wings
	+ He summoned a pair of wings using the stone. Since he is not used to his new powers, they quickly dissipate in EP4.

## Relationships

### Aspen

Eren and Aspen are extremely close, often relying on each other for support. In EP1, Eren offers to look for her griffon when it escapes. He also offers to find a place to rent one, before Millie interjects. Eren also jokes with her, and sincerely cares about her. Eren often gets into trouble behind her back, which causes her to get upset with him. Aspen is overbearing at times, which annoys Eren.

In EP3, after Eren wakes up from his nightmare, Aspen is there to comfort him. He is caught off guard when hugged by her, but he calms down after that. Eren feels better after Aspen offers some kind words. They also search for Avalon, who is absent from the cabin. When Aspen and Eren chase after Pepper when she escapes the stable, they encounter Aurel. Eren seems to tease her about their conversation.
