if this one is wolfbane. does the last pup have to be saikiyo's?

[Lunarsnow]

Saikiyo already claimed theirs! It's

Apparently it was claimed on Discord, but it's also already in the archive under their name.

If today's is wolfbane.'s which it seems like due to the eastern dragon and sleepy hints then that just leaves Sixbane as the one with the little yellow wings.


Bernouli hasn't outright claimed theirs as far as I know but, come on, there's no way this one's not theirs.

mm yeah i agree that it's sixbane's. the hints don't clash and i do believe that we're right with wolfbane's pup. kinda funny that the two __bane's are the last two to grow...

Everyone, please say hello to Yu Wenlan! (余文兰)


[Yu is a common Chinese surname, and Wenlan means cultured flower / cultured orchid!]
This little eastern dragon stems from my love and experience with the Chinese culture, albeit a very limited experience. I had taken quite a few Chinese courses during high school and this is what my teacher named me: Yu Wenlan.

I don't have much lore around surrounding this little friend so feel free to conjure up your own.

Here's my analysis of all the hints gathered! I hope you all had fun figuring this little friend out!

• Hint #1: "All of my pups seem so sleepy! Perhaps that's a theme.... (invis text) it's not, or is it?"
This was referring to the fact that my pup was going to be VERY sleepy, being one of the last to grow and the longest to be under the blanket.

• Hint #2: Dressed up staff pup was found with a dragon tail.
This was alluding to my pup's dragon tail!

• Hint #3: Answered Question with transparent text: As for designing my UR: Food-based: Wouldn't a cute little takeout box be the sweetest thing? General pet: I'd love to design a fancy plant-related animal of some sort! or an eastern dragon, wink wink
The takeout box + eastern dragon are both direct allusions to my pet and the culture it stems from, Chinese culture.

• Hint #4: Dressed up staff pup updated with the lynx growth, still has dragon tail and mane. Says: "I'm not sleepy!"
This was a complete accident on my part but it was fun to see how it led you all astray!

• Hint #5: What would your pups zodiac sign be? Probably a Capricorn, or Capricorn-Aquarius cusp!
I chose Capricorn due to the horns, but had Yu leaning more into the cusp territory due to their fluidity, alluding to their smooth snake-like form!

• Hint #6: Does your pup have anything in common with fruit, vegetable or mineral? Not particularly, no!

• Hint #7: Does your pup have a sordid past with others or is he/she fairly easy to get along with? - I would like to say they're an amicable pup to get along with, if perhaps a bit shy.
Being a pup forever does make one a bit shy! This also alluded to how long my pup would be under the blanket, a late bloomer, a bit shy, etc.

• Hint #8: If your pup could be considered "human", what job would it have, if any? - Something that involves doing a lot of tasks quickly and well, perhaps something akin to an accountant
3 sets of paws can get a whole lot done!

• Hint #9: what does your pup smell like/of? Incense!
Another allusion to the use and significance of incense in Chinese culture.

YOOOOO

I knew the still growing newborn would be something but this-
This is just MAGICAL. I think this one's my favorite of this litter. 🥰

[Sixbane]

Since mine is last and most people have guessed it by now anyway, ill go ahead and confirm this kiddo is mine!

Her name is Eridanus, the constellation of the celestial river
Ancient and wise, she's seen many powerful come and go in her time, from empires to gods and much inbetween. She's ever hopeful for the future, and what experiences it may bring.
