Character
Name: Claude von Riegan
Canon: Fire Emblem: Three Houses

Familiar
Name: Naira
Species: Wyvern
Why did you pick this familiar for your character?: She's pretty much a pint-sized version of the wyvern Claude rides into battle in his final class promotion. Taming and learning to ride wyverns is a rite of passage in Claude's homeland, so he has a deep connection to them.
Special features: N/A
How do they communicate?: She can make trilling noises and cries, but she's not large enough to make any deeper noises full-grown wyverns are capable of. If she wants something, she'll nudge Claude with her snout, or fly over to whatever it is that she wants to draw his attention to. Claude's familiar with wyverns enough that, even though she can't talk, he understands her moods and generally what she's trying to communicate.
Personality: She has a sweet and chipper personality. She's very affectionate, likes to play, and is curious about the world around her.
Relationship with your character: Claude named her Naira, an ~~Urdu~~ east of Fodlan name which means "bright, shining star", because of her glittering white scales; most wyverns have dark bronze scales. He dotes on her because she looks so much like the steed he rides into battle. He's already bonded with his familiar and trusts her completely.
Visuals: one, two, three

Magic
Magic Types: Dark & Green
Why did you pick these types for your character?: Dark is his primary, because Claude has always relied on schemes, cunning and subterfuge to get the upper hand over brute strength, so a less powerful magic that requires more creative thinking and which has more indirect effects seems his speed. He also has a tendency for people to mistrust his intentions because of his scheming nature, so dark magic would add to that image. His secondary magic is green because he has a deep spiritual reverence for nature in canon. He likes to experiment with plants and mushrooms that he can convert to poisons, so being able to grow his own plants would also be helpful.
How does your character cast their magic? For both dark and green magic, he has to be touching his target or very close to it in order to channel his magic.
How does your character feel about their magic?: He's not very confident in magic in general, as it was never his strong suit back at the Officer's Academy or after. It's already saved his life in Avalon, however, so he intends to keep practising it, as he feels it could give him an edge over his enemies.

What magic and familiar would your character choose for themselves?: He wouldn't change anything.
Anything else?: N/A
