Blaze Vulcan

Daughter of Vulcan

### Best Friends Forever After

Cascade de Mare

**Blaze Vulcan** [*she/her*, *they/them*] is the 16-year-old daughter of **Vulcan** and **Fornax** from *Roman Mythology* and is set to inherit her father's legacy.

At the time of the **Rebel Movement**, Blaze is attending her Legacy Year at the Ever After High *Mythology Program* and currently rooms with Lana Du Lac. Even though she is perfectly fine with taking over her father's legacy, Blaze sides with the **Neutrals**. She honestly does not about the Royal-Rebel debate and finds the entire thing pointless to argue about. She knows that no matter what, she *will* become the next Goddess of Fire, Metalworking, and the Forge. If she had to pick a side, it would be the Royals since she's adamant about becoming the next *Vulcan*.

## Character

### Personality

Right away, Blaze seems like someone who loves attention and doesn't care about much. Well, that's kind of the opposite, is fine with attention but doesn't love, love it, and she does care about things. She **likes being her own person and being alone** when needed. Blaze is friendly, in a way, but doesn't befriend a lot of people, since most of her close friends are her family. She does have a somewhat **stubborn personality** and a **quick temper** to boot.

Blaze honestly, hates the argument with the Royal and Rebel cause. She doesn't even care what some people say about it and try to talk her into being a Royal because she wants to be the next Vulcan no matter what. She thinks it is totally pointless and puts some strain on her family. Blaze is extremely **loyal** and **protective of her family and loved ones**, willing to protect them with everything she can.

She also has a way of helping people figure things out about themselves, she's not sure how she just is able to. She's managed to help her cousin Cascade (technically her first cousin-once-removed), calm down during her anger explosions (yes, they are called that).

Even though she has **her temper** and **stubbornness**, she is very insecure about being transgender. Not many people know that she was born male, and she wants to keep it like that. There are only a few family members that do know, and Blaze would like it to stay like that. She honestly, doesn't know how other members would react, and she's afraid of their reaction. Cascade helped her get through it from the start to finish and still checks up on her. Blaze is extremely grateful for what Cascade has done for her over the years.

In the romance department, Blaze isn't sure what she is really, even after transitioning from male to female. While she is unsure about herself, she does support and has no issues with other people's sexualities. She is supportive of all her friends and family for whatever they pick.

### Appearance

Blaze is a young woman standing at 5'6", with short-medium length hair that starts off as black and then begins to turn auburn with orange highlights, with sharp, amber eyes, and olive skin tone.

## Myth - *Vulcan*

### How Blaze fits into it?

Born as Ardere, Blaze was born to the current generation's Vulcan, leaving her mother a mystery, as it was not Venus. She was originally born male but spent a majority of her childhood unsure about themselves. Finally, she came out when she was like 13 thanks to the help of her second-cousin Cascade. With the help of magic, Blaze was able to finally transition and be turned from male to female.

### View on Destiny

Blaze is the youngest daughter of Vulcan and was picked to be his successor. She's happy to be the next Goddess of Fire, Metalworking, and the Forge, she just doesn't care about the entire Royal and Rebel thing.

## Relationships

### Family

#### Vulcan

Blaze is extremely close to her father, **Vulcan**. As the one going to take over his Myths, this is one reason why their bond is very close. Their relationship grew stronger when Blaze went through her transition. Vulcan wanted his child to be happy, and if this was to make them happy, he would support them.

#### Venus

Blaze has a decent relationship with her stepmother, **Venus**. They were never close before, but when Blaze almost died because of her newly learned allergy to alcohol, that somehow that did something and now Blaze and Venus have a better relationship than ever.

#### Cupid & Aeneas

The relationship between Blaze and her stepbrothers, **Cupid and Aeneas**, is currently unknown. Blaze never talks about them, so it is unknown if she is aware of them or even has a relationship with them.

#### Fornax

For the longest time, Blaze was unaware of who her birth mother was, and didn't really mind not knowing.

Blaze has an ok relationship with her mother, Fornax. They don't see each other regularly as Blaze spends 99% of her time with her father.

#### Cascade de Mare

**Cascade** is Blaze's uncle Neptune's daughter...does that make her Blaze's first cousin once removed or something else? Honestly, Blaze isn't sure what to call Cassi, so cousin works best, it doesn't confuse either of them. Cascade was also the first one to know about Blaze being trans. Despite the future Sea Goddess personality, she helped Blaze out the entire way. She even offered to pay for the surgery with her own money. Cascade continues to see Blaze making sure she is already even though the surgery/magic spell was a couple of years ago.

#### Vesper Divitiae

Blaze gets along with **Vesper**, her uh her other first cousin once removed...? You know what, let's call them cousins, it's easier for *everyone*. Anyway, Vesper is Blaze's great Uncle Pluto's son, and they have a great relationship. While some might think it's due to them being family, it's mostly due to them both having something in common: being trans. Blaze was the first one told by Cascade about Vesper being Trans and she quickly went to go support her cousin.

### Friends

#### Aedan Keahi

As a fellow child of a Fire Deity, Blaze gets along very well with Aedan. Blaze considers them a close friend and someone she can confide with.

### Pets

#### Fireheart

Blaze has a pet Phoenix named Fireheart. It is unknown where and when Blaze got him, but the two have a wonderful relationship. Blaze often treats Fireheart as her baby - though he does not mind one bit.

### Romance

For the longest time, Blaze was unsure about her sexuality. She eventually came out as **pansexual demiromantic**.

## Alternate Universes

### Supernatural/Super Hero

~~Blaze is the daughter of Vulcan Vaden and the stepdaughter of Venus Amare, her birth mother passed away and she rarely remembers her. She did grow up alongside Pele Kali's son, Aedan since Pele and Vulcan worked together in the hero and civilian force. Both were homeschooled at first before being transferred to Justice Academy. Blaze inherited her father's fire powers along with the ability to make any weapon; she one day will inherit her father's shop. When she graduates, she joins a team with Aedan Keahi and Cascade Cerulean and she is known as **"Fire Soul"**.  Like her canon, Blaze is transgender, having been born male but turned female two years prior to attending Justice Academy.~~

### Pokémon AU: Journey of Trainers

Blaze Vaden (born: *Arede Vaden*) is the daughter of Fotiá City Gym Leader, Vulcan Vaden, and stepdaughter of Top Coordinator Venus Amare. Growing up, Blaze was uncertain about her life until she realized that she did not see herself as a "male". She talked it over with her father only after cousin (who really was her Uncle Neptune's daughter), Cascade Cerulean helped her out. Blaze went through the entire transition and became the person they wanted to be, a female. Blaze is not like some of the trainers in the city. She has no dream to really take after her father, but she's still in the deciding phase of her life. Vulcan sent her on a Pokemon Journey thinking it could help her decide what she wanted to do. Her partner is a Charmander, who was given to her by Vulcan. Cascade did not let her cousin go alone and joined her with her partner, Froakie.

**Future Team:**

1. **Charizard (Male, Mega X):** Blaze received her Charizard, as a Charmander, from her father when she left on her journey.
2. **Arcanine (Female)**
3. **Talonflame (Male)**
4. **Typhlosion (Male)**
5. **Infernape (Male)**

## Etymology

Like any other child of a God(s), Blaze has no true last name. While attending Ever After High through the Mythology Program, she goes by Blaze Vulcan.

Blaze is actually not her real name. She was born with another name, but over the years, she created the name "Blaze" and started to use it. No one remembers her birth name and just refer her to as "Blaze".

Their original name was **Ardere**, which eventually became lost over-time and everyone referred to them as their nickname "Blaze".

The name Blaze is influenced from the English word blaze; matching with a word related to fire, flames. The surname Vulcan was chosen to honor her father, Vulcan.

## Trivia

* Blaze is a male to female transgender.
* Blaze is severely allergic to alcohol, which makes it hard when she attends parties.
	+ Her allergy was revealed because someone slipped alcohol into her drink during a party, and Blaze had a severe allergic reaction. You can say Vulcan was pissed; he was beyond mad. It was also the first time Venus showed any love and worry over Blaze, but it helped strengthen their bond.
* Her Social Media platform name is ***@GirlOnFire***.
* When not in school or hanging with her friends, Blaze manages her father's store, *Pyros Metalworks*.

### Notes

* Part of Blaze's personality was inspired - yes - by Bloom from *Winx Club*.
