I'm going to ramble about my ot4 and their kids.

For the purpose of my post-canon:

Hilda was a wyvern lord. She was on her third mount by the time they defeated Nemesis. She had a hard time attaching herself to the creatures after her first one fell in battle, and her style of fighting steadily changed. Where once she could thrust herself and her mount as one into battle, she had to start recognizing herself and the creature as a pair and not a unit. She still has the heart of a tank, and the axe-arms to match, but her protection needed to be extended to creature beneath her as much as possible, and not only her human friends.

Claude was a barbarossa. He and his wyvern went through their own trials to be as ready as they ever could be to balance each other. He misses her, when business keeps him long occupied after the war, after having treated her like family for years. When they meet for casual rides, it is obvious that she remembers both their camaraderie, and when they used to drift above the clouds, counting their enemies and allies below.

Lorenz was a dark knight. He took the horses in his family's stables for granted until the Academy, where between Leonie and Marianne, he recognized more deeply, or felt more comfortable publicly recognizing, the intelligence of the animal, and it wasn't until the war that he accepted the value of keeping one close that could remain calm in the presence of magic and blood. Thyrsus was always heavier in his hands than any lance, though he kept them close; his versatility being marking him as a weary soldier, and a tactician struggling to make sense of his leaders' decisions.

Fae was the enlightened one. Could they be anything else? A fighting style that balanced on the magic of their lost friend and the sword of their father. Risks that seem too big, but have been tried a thousand times with the use of Divine Pulse.

My ot4 kids are all able to ride a wyvern, but their passion and coordination vary wildly.

Halvard (major Crest of Goneril: Sometimes allows combat arts to prevent enemy counterattacks.) is a wyvern lord, like his mother. He treats his wyvern more like a big dog than either Claude or his mother's approach. Long, thick throwing arms; prefers axes. Crest nonsense: In my fic Gentle Moments, in chapter 9: In Derdriu, Halvard's crest activates while he's taking part in a snowball fight. I assume the result may have been an inexplicable mountain of snow or else a painful chill that would have resulted in another child being unable to retaliate.

Lorencia (minor Crest of Gloucester: Occasionally raises Mt during magic attacks.) is a dark knight, like her father. Lances and magic. I think it's funny that you don't select when a Crest activates, related to this a friend suggested: Lorenz steps away from her magic practice for TWO MINUTES and he comes back to her whimpering and dousing her burning desk. Her horse is her friend, a sign of home and familiarity even in strange places. Can ride a wyvern but prefers her feet on the ground.

Baldovin (minor Crest of Goneril: Sometimes allows combat arts to prevent enemy counterattacks.) is a fortress knight. A slow, sturdy wall of armor. Lives to defend, and tries to incapacitate. Sympathy for his enemies. Feels like attacking marching units while mounted on either wyvern or horseback is unfair to man and animal, and thus only uses mounts to get from point A to point B. Crest nonsense: WILL wrestle your wyvern for fun, and enjoys the shock in how their neck's rear back when his Crest allows him to pin their chin down while their wings struggle (squish that cat).

Nader (no Crest) is a wyvern lord who uses swords; if pegasus knights can use them, then I'm taking this. Trained in swords with his twin brother, Geralt. Is the bigger two-faced brat of the two of them. Strives to be honorable despite this, knowing he's the heir. Recognizes wyverns as culturally significant, and friends.

Geralt (Crest of Flames: Occasionally restores HP equal to 30% of damage dealt. Rarely raises Mt and stops counterattacks.) is a mortal savant if I'm restricted to fe3h classes, otherwise give him grandmaster or dread fighter from fe:a. Swords and magic, and a promise to wield the sword of the creator. Likes teasing wyverns like they're big kittens, and could fight from a mounted position if pressed. The best of all his siblings (bio and otherwise) at faith magic. Another Crest observation from my friend: Geralt realizes his Crest allows for Prime Prankage (TM) meaning that he can lift twice his weight and also escape seemingly impossible situations unharmed.

Sadaf (minor Crest of Riegan: Sometimes restores HP equal to 30% of damage dealt when using combat arts.) is a barbarossa. She enjoys the full body flexibility of lances more than bows, but inheriting Failnaught directed her instruction. In the same way that she doesn't like having to be open about her thoughts and emotions with strangers, she expects her wyvern to be disciplined - like a service dog, and to have a trigger, like removing a harness or touching the neck, which signals when it is safe to behave like a comfortable, silly and needy animal once again. Another Crest observation from my friend: Teenage Sadaf experimenting in the kitchen by herself, like a fool: "Hm today I will try to grab a cast iron pan while it's on the stove--OW DAMN YOU JERK!!!" bangs pan on countertop, burn heals immediately

Simon (no Crest) is a dark knight who uses magic only. His spinal problems made it too difficult to properly practice holding an axe, balancing a bow, or steadying a lance. Lorenz tried to convince him that there other ways to contribute to a battlefield, and did convince him to lean towards more bookkeeping and tactics, but for the sake of security, did still help guide him through reason magic. A Crest observation from me: Responsible Adult Lorenz trying to demonstrate a dark magic spell for Simon -> Half the training grounds scorched black with corruption, never to be the same again -> Lorenz, "Ah."
