#but in my headcanons auradon is much worse and much darker

PRINCESS ELAINE PENDRAGON OF CAMELOT

universe: descendants

name & meaning: elaine is the name of various arthurian characters, but she’s not based off any of them, or any other arthurian character, because this is descendants, and the existence of artie already ignores arthurian lore. so i do what i want.

age & birthday: she doesn’t know her exact birthday, but she assigned herself July 17, and she’s probably 15-16 (same age as ben)

pronouns: she/her

sexuality: haven’t figured it out yet, but she’s not straight

height: 5’7

face claim: mackenzie foy

powers & species: she’s a fay, and her powers include: teleportation, shapeshifting, spells/runes, and seeing.

mbti: enfp, the campaigner

background: she was born to two fay from avalon, but didn’t grow up there. when she four, when near the border of camelot and auradon (camelot is not part of auradon, because i refuse to believe every fairy tale land is part of it), her parents were killed by anti-magic extremists. she was later rescued by merlin who was in the area for narrative reasons, i guess, who then took her back to caerleon (where arthur holds court). originally, she was going to be sent to avalon to live and train her magic, but in that time she grew attached to arthur, and arthur grew attached to her, so she was adopted instead. however, she’s not the heir — artie, who i renamed loholt, is, because he’s related to arthur by blood, and was already born when she was adopted.

when she was 14, she was sent to auradon as a sort of peace offering? basically, if she apprentices under fairy godmother, and does well, camelot will be left alone. this is not the first, or last, time they have done this.

residence: caerleon or avalon

affiliation: camelot and the round table

weapons & fighting style: uses a sword, and also her magic

hobbies: reading, sword fighting, riding

disney song i associate with them: let me make you proud from tangled the series

miscellaneous:

- wears only tunics and trousers, mostly to spite auradon, who are far more modern than camelot

- i’m still figuring out how i want to work arthuriana into descendants so things are subject to change

- talks a lot, and talks quickly

- holds herself with a lot of confidence, but is actually anxious all the time

- she has nightmares that double as prophetic visions, and they’re often very distressing. she has no idea how to control them, so she usually just doesn’t sleep.

- technically her roommate is jordan, but jordan lives in her lamp, so she has the room to herself. in one of my aus, she rooms with claudine.

- committing treason against auradon is on her bucket list

- her and maddy would be besties if they met

- her current best friend is her cousin, gawain. i’m still figuring out how to disney-ify him, so all i’ll say is they never get away with anything ever.

- struggles to manage her temper, especially in auradon, but she does her best

- i’m not sure if this actually fits in with auradon, but given my other headcanons for how they work, i think it fits. to keep her in line, fairy godmother makes her wear iron when she gets too defiant, or is failing her lessons. which is yknow, deadly for fay. audrey and jane figured out how to remove it for her, so as long as fg never finds out, she’s fine.

- fairy godmother also tries to train her to do magic she literally cannot do, because they’re too different types of fay

- she tries to present herself as being perfect, as being less than perfect could mean war. she is failing. miserably.

- very, very competitive

- had a hard time controlling her magic growing up, but now only struggles with her visions

- she idolizes her father, which leads to a lot disappointment, and is the root of some of her perfectionism

- really likes birds, except for archimedes. she thinks he’s annoying.

#disney descendants #descendants oc #oc: elaine of camelot #I have some one shots for her I want to write #and also feel free to ask about her! I want to talk about her #I don’t think the iron thing lines up with canon #but in my headcanons auradon is much worse and much darker #and canon is questionable and inconsistent anyway #so. yay.
