Wynd smiles excitedly and holds her sword above her head. She is a drogune: an elven girl with pale skin and blue, swirling markings on her shoulders. She wears baggy white pants and a fluttering white jacket. Her hair is spiky and green, her eyes black-on-gold. Her white tail snakes behind her, edged with green feathery fur.

Behind her rises a draconic figure. It is white with blue markings, a green mane, and curved blue horns. Wings of roiling energy float near its shoulders.

Amid swirling clouds and scroll work the title reads: "Drogune: Fortune's Lap"

QTP with your fave video game villain in a gif if you can. ...one of them, at least. The fallen hero who was broken by his efforts to save the world. Corrupted and embittered by the people he set out to save. Unrepentant in his cause to do what was "right/needed." (Mithos, Tales of Symphonia)

Mithos, a blonde child in white tunic and blue pants, hovers over the ground. Energy wings, arranged like flower petals, spread from his shoulders. The caption reads: There's nothing anyone can do..."
