Will mostly be doodles or thoughts about my main WoL, DT Moonbelly(She/They)
Decided to steal some friend's WoLs to doodle a shattered glass themed thing like a broken mirror. Inspired by a photo I saw on pinterest.

Full spread so far in new sketchbook. Might try to fit another Raha next to DT.
I haven't had this much fun drawing traditionally in years.

27. DT, like many of my characters, is inspired at least a little by Aerith from ff7. I really push this influence in the Exarch Swap AU. Most of the AU is 'what if I had some 7 inspo in shb like how there's 8 inspiration in the Eden raid' It's incredibly self indulgent. and I love it.

25. During ShB, DT has NO IDEA who the Exarch is until the reveal on Mt Gulg. There are a few times when she could be close to figuring it out but she chalks up these thoughts/visions as side effects of how terrible she feels thanks to the light corruption destroying her.

24. In 'canon' DT never picks up Dark Knight. Instead Hyutt does in her stead during Heavensward. In the doomed timeline it's passed to her when Hyutt dies. Her 'Fray' takes the form of Astraea. DT and Astraea/Fray do NOT get along.

23. DT's Lightwarden is called Absolute Innocence. As the one who slayed the original Innocence it felt fitting that she would be given the name. it's personality is very curious and somewhat passive, giving the feeling that it's harmless when it's very much not.

22a. Some more Macaroni. Because DT's aether control is broken post EW, she accidentally is overfeeding it. So it's more than happy to go along with whatever she wants. (Macaroni is also VERY aware that should they start anything DT can and will erase them from existence.)

22. Post EW DT briefly picks up Summoner while trying to figure out what she's still able to do combat wise. She ends up summoning a chunky carbuncle that she names Macaroni. Macaroni may or may not be something voidsent related masquarading as a buncle. They're mostly harmless though

21. She begins wearing her handmade bracelets going into Endwalker. And makes similar bracelets for her loved ones. I eventually need to get around to drawing G'raha's and Hyutt's at least.

18. DT raids other people's closets if she can't find any clean/not torn to shreds clothes. It started with Hyutt, then the scions. And now happens regularly with G'raha. (including going to the first and raiding the closet there because 'he's not using them' G'raha is NEVER ready.

15. Doomed timeline DT ends up gravely injured and dies outside of the Crystal tower. The final recording of her there is her reaching for the tower and by extension, G'raha. Years later after he awakens, he finds the only thing that remains, her now rusted and ancient staff, just outside the door.
November 19, 2025 at 6:37 AM
14. In the doomed timeline it becomes her hideaway. And the only place she allows herself to process emotions as she doesn't want to worry/put pressure on the people looking to her for guidance. She has no idea the tower has recording devices around it. So G'raha ends up SEEING these recordings.

12. In the doomed timeline that the Exarch is from, DT is wearing an altered version of the outfit she wears from ARR - SHB. She begins using her staff as both a conduit for black magic but also as a melee weapon. (thus the damage)
November 19, 2025 at 6:19 AM
11. In a similar vein, her outfit for the ShB patches was a gift from the people of the Crystarium to better 'fit' her persona as the Warrior of Darkness. She does wear it and treasure it, but by this point is dealing with something of an identity crisis, so the outfit is retired soon after.

10. DT's outfit and staff from ARR-SHB were gifted to her by Mother Miounne as a farewell and good luck present as she started her journey as an adventurer. This is a big reason she wore them for so long as she treasured these gifts.

I have a lot of DT facts to catch up on aaaaaAA

8.DT fosters fledgling dodos. She's been doing this since a few years before ARR started, but after being gifted the Island Sanctuary that has become her Dodo Sanctuary where they get to thrive in a peaceful place.
(my in game Island is full of Dodo to reflect this lmao)

7. There are a few cases where DT passes her threshold of patience and goes into a cold but explosive fury. In these cases Astraea's eyes and influence bleeds through and it can take a considerable amount to pull her out of this unsettling shift in personality.

6. DT doesn't like fighting. If given the chance she'd much rather try to talk things out and try to find mutual understanding. Of course as the WoL that hardly ever works out in her favor and is a big reason why Emet Selch was able to gain her trust and his 'betrayal' hurt so much

4. DT's best friend/adoptive family, Hyutt Moonkiln was created and written by my husband! DT is placed in his care 5 years before ARR. And he gets dragged along for the adventure as she stumbles into becoming the WoL. In lore a lot of people assume he's the WoL for a very long time.

2. Originally DT was a direct port of my DnD character at the time, who was a shape shifting tiger who wanted to be a popstar. Only reason that ffxiv DT didn't end up a hrothgar is because femhroth weren't released at the time. Now I'm too attached to her being smol to change.

1a. My personal headcanon is that the shards of DT's azem all start out with Astraea's eyes, though in many cases the color is suppressed/changed due to other influences impacting the bearer's soul. (whether it's Light/Hydaelyn, or the void, or other things.
November 18, 2025 at 10:24 PM
1. DT's eyes aren't naturally blue. They change in color after receiving Hydaelyn's blessing during Dalamud's Fall. This is why in the few AUs I have where DT isn't the WoL her eyes remain amber colored.
