Chapter Text
Eight was first drawn to Corrin and Kamui (but mostly the latter) at the Heroes’ arrival at the Smash Mansion. He was infatuated for three reasons:
- They were the first human-dragon hybrids from outside his world.
- He wants to learn how to swap between dragon and human like they do (his grandpa has an oath and the Lord of Dragovians has a job).
- Unbeknownst to him, his dragon genes are attracted to Kamui because she’s a female human-dragon hybrid - an “ideal mate”.
Every dragovian is composed of two halves: a human and a dragon. Both would usually have equal control over the body. However, if there is more human blood than dragon blood, the human overwhelms the dragon from birth, sealing it away. The grip on the dragon only loosens when the human feels strong emotions - a phenomenon known as “tension”. However, dragon blood is extremely volatile, and the longer it’s sealed, the more resentful the inner dragon becomes towards its inner human captors...
When Eight meets the Corrins for the first time, the scent of a female human-dragon hybrid finally breaks that seal.
Appearance
When pure-blooded dragovians transform, they don’t seem to retain any human characteristics in their dragon forms. Since Eight is 75% human, I wanted to portray that by retaining all of his fingers, toes, and hair in his dragon form. They are remnants of his extra human blood.
