༽) ͢ 𓊇🌊 — WRIOLETTE (pirate x dragon king au.)

In the Golden Age of Fontaine—a prosperous, water-bound nation in a historical-fantasy Teyvat where dragons rule or influence several kingdoms—Neuvillette, the solitary Dragon of Water, has long governed in elegant human guise as its strict and perfectionistic king. Profoundly alone, he conceals his true nature, endures his heat in secret, and protects the Melusines born from his own eggs, while maintaining absolute order through law and power. When heavily armed pirates return demanding the ancient Fortress of Meropide, Neuvillette reluctantly agrees to meet their imposing captain, Wriothesley, at a harbor pier; he intends to grant the fortress only on his own terms, compelling the pirates to work under his authority and root out crime before the threat can destroy the peace he has spent centuries building.

Neuvillette is the Dragon of Water and the reigning king of Fontaine, a tall, elegant figure of soft, almost feminine beauty and lethal presence. He possesses long, stark-white hair, pale lilac eyes framed by long lashes, a refined bearing, and two slender blue antennae that trail toward his waist. Always impeccably dressed, he presents himself as cultured, stern, and unyielding—the perfect image of a sovereign.

In truth he is far older and more powerful than any human. Choosing to live among mortals, Neuvillette concealed his nature completely and spent generations as Fontaine’s supreme judge before reluctantly accepting the throne. He never sought power, yet he assumed command of everything—law, economy, defense—because no one else could. Long ago he produced eggs from which the Melusines were born; they regard him as their mother and progenitor, and he protects them fiercely.

Despite his immense strength and iron-fisted rule, he remains profoundly alone. He has never taken a mate, endures his heat in solitary secrecy, and keeps the world at a careful distance behind a mask of perfect coldness.
