Sorry if this is a dumb question, but!- I was going through your Ridel art, and noticed that you color in his eyes during very intense moments. Is that just an artistic choice? Or is he part Qerel/Chaghan?
Hello there! And no, totally not a dumb question! It was a tiny bit of both, but definitely something I had in mind whenever I drew his intense eyes, so technically yes! His great-grandparents actually came from the Malaguld tribe, one Xaela (an exiled "Taken" from the Qerel) and the other a Raen! I am still working on the specifics of said background but that's basically it, heheh! Ridel himself unfortunately has no knowledge of his exact background, since his mother did not like to talk about it, but while he is usually very calm and kind, he does feel a sort of kinship/empathy with those who struggle with their inner rage. He had struggled a lot with it himself when he was a child, and the story definitely begins to poke at what bubbles beneath the surface quite a bit as he progresses...
When I went through the Warrior quest I didn't think I would enjoy it so much, and while I originally didn't think about Ridel coming from the Qerel or the Chaghan, he does have a bit of an uncontrollable ferocity that surfaces from time to time, and the warrior story going off of that coupled with the theme of love, it really fit with him as well as his interaction with the wols around him (My friend's ocs), so I ended up peppering that into part of his lineage, which thankfully fits!
Thank you so much for asking! I love talking lore and stuffs, and I hope you enjoy the boys!

"...They declaired you a heretic, too, haven't they?"
headcanon below (HW spoilers)
In the game where the WoL finds Ysayle in the heretic hideout, my headcanon had Ridel chased down by suspect Ishgardian soldiers while on his mission to seek out her hideaway. They were no sooner laid low by his "Moonshadow"- something he had yet to understand or control... and Ysayle had come upon the aftermath...
(It also was the reason why he, Alphinaud and Tataru were tried for herecy upon his return...)

"So, this is your hero.
A little dog."
Personal headcanon: Ridel was not really the most powerful WoL... Up until now, he had mostly been protected by others (much to his own dismay), and/or barely came out of situations alive. He had mostly felt pretty weak in comparison to his fellow WoLs, but that disparity had shone all the brighter when he could not hold a candle to Zenos in combat...
