hi 👀👀👀👀👀👀 i heard u got a lot of nevra headcanons and thoughts?? share them with us!! i'll give u a kiss!

♦ Me talking about Nevra for way too long ♦

► tags/warnings: -

► words: 813

► a/n: Thank you Anon for giving me an opportunity to ramble about him. I do, in fact, have a lot of opinions about Nevra!

Also... I’ve been a bit busy lately, but I’ll probably have more free time to write next month. I’ve also had spent a lot of time on @marycecilyy ‘s discord server, which is a joy. So yeah! I’m not dead :p

► Masterlist

• I’m almost sure this is canon, but he’s musically inclined;

• He can play a couple of instruments and has a nice voice, though he doesn’t have an impressive range;

• Nevra hasn’t touched an instrument in years, but he’s always whistling some tune or humming a melody when he’s out and about;

• When Karenn was younger, he sang her old lullabies when she was upset. Not only did his songs distract her but thinking about something familiar would often make her feel better. Even after she grew up, if she’s upset he will still hold her and sing her favourite songs;

• He’s bi with a preference for women;

• My boy has a really weird sense of moral when he left Yaqut. It took him a long time to figure out what he actually thought was right and wrong and separate it from what he was taught;

• He still struggles with that occasionally;

• After the events of the first season... He starts trusting people way less;

• Nevra always struggled a bit with building genuine connections with others but ever since he lost those most important to him he just can’t let more people in, fearing they will also leave;

• He also became even more protective of Karenn since then, and Chrome by extension;

• Nevra has this womaniser, bad boy persona that he built as a way to protect himself and he doesn’t know how to fully get rid of it;

• While he can often try to pretend to be emotionless and distant he is a sensitive soul. Things get to him easily, but since he sees himself as a pillar of support in the guard (in s1 as the leader of the shadow guard and s2 as Huang Hua’s right hand man) and he knows people look up to him as an example, so he doesn’t let it show;

• Drowns himself in work to avoid thinking about things that hurt him;

• Doesn’t like twilight, but he has read it multiple times;

• I think he’s one of those people who really wants to understand why it’s so popular, so every once in a while he’ll pick it up and try to read it with a new perspective but ends up finding new reasons why he dislikes it;

• Ended up learning how to style hair because of his little sister and he’s decent at it;

• If he was in the human world...I can see him being VERY bad at technology and just being able to manage one social media at a time. He would probably have an Instagram account dedicated solely to pictures of Shaitan.

Thoughts:

• I chose Nevra right off the bat lol;

• Look, none of the Eldarya love interests were exactly my type;

• But between all of them, he was the one who caught my attention;

• I really like his first interactions with the mc;

• And when I looked at him i immediately pinned him as the “depressed character with a tragic backstory that hides behind a mask of flirtatiousness” love interest;

• which always have the most interesting routes;

• I’m still disappointed they didn’t give him a character arc. HE HAD SO MUCH POTENTIAL!;

• I love him to death but goodness gracious that man did NOTHING on season one;

• I’m sure I’m not the first one to say this, but I’m absolutely sure the team had a completely different story in mind when they started writing the game but ended up changing the storyline once they decided to tell a darker story;

• And they just... Forgot to add his contributions to the plot;

• Or a character arc;

• Or anything other than just fanservice;

• But really, the little hints of a story that they gave us were so interesting;

• He came from a vampire clan?? They were involved with some shady shit?? He left with his little sister??;

• How old were they?? How long did they travel around until they got to eel?? How was his personality like back then??;

• What made him leave? Why doesn’t he talk about it?;

• Those components could make for such a dramatic, interesting story;

• I had faith they would do something with it;

• I remember being so desperate for some semblance of a character arc that I started theorising that he would eventually join Lance and Leiftan on the dark side;

• That didn’t happen, but now that I’m actively participating in the fandom and not just lurking I’m down to making this an AU;

• But seriously... Even with his lack of story, I still really like him;

• He’s charming and I think his interactions with the MC are very fun! I liked all the little details the writers added that gave him a little more personality;

• Like how he likes dogs and is a good dancer;

• His relationship with Karenn and how caring he was with those under his care;

• Nevra is a very sweet character and he deserves better!

#I didn’t mention this in the ‘’thoughts’’ section but he’s grade A material for angst which I appreciate #I’m sorry for everyone who knows me from the server #I’m sure you heard me screaming about all of this more than once #I just love him okay?? #ALSO #I’m sure that he would start appreciating the little human trinkets that would end up in Eldarya #at least during the years where the guardian was stuck in the crystal #even stupid little things like children’s books or yes eVEN TWILIGHT #they would be harder to come across #but every time he came in contact with something human he’d wonder what the guardian thought of it #even as the memory of them faded and he started giving up on ever seeing them again #he would hold on to some of these things and just think about them #Eldarya #eldarya nevra #eldarya a new era #A new era nevra #I’m on mobile so I’m sorry if this post is wonky #I also didn’t grammar correct it #so if anything is weird #it’s because of that #bee's writing
