Valafar

Full Name: Valafar Nicknames: Vala, Raptor, The Demon Mount, "Big boy/good boy" (a nickname only his owner is allowed to use—he gets incredibly embarrassed whenever she says it.)

Species: Dinotaur (a demon hybrid with the body of a raptor) Gender: Male Age: 290 years old (physically appears to be around 25–30 in human years) Height: 2.5 m (8'2") Length: Approximately 5 m (16'5"), including his tail.

Appearance

Valafar is an imposing yet elegant Dinotaur whose lower body resembles a massive feathered velociraptor, while his upper body is humanoid. His skin is a warm chocolate-brown color, contrasted by glowing turquoise eyes and a pair of short demon horns hidden beneath his hair.

His hair is black with vivid turquoise and magenta highlights that shimmer under sunlight and moonlight alike. Long pointed ears and sharp canine teeth complete his demonic appearance.

His raptor body is covered in smooth scales that blend from soft pink into vibrant blue, decorated with bold black-and-white stripe patterns reminiscent of tropical fish. A thick mane of black and white feathers runs along his spine, continuing all the way to the base of his long tail.

His legs are wrapped in dense fluffy feathers that almost resemble oversized fur boots, making his footsteps surprisingly quiet despite his massive size. His claws and tail feathers share the same bright turquoise coloration as his eyes.

Although he looks intimidating, his body language often betrays his true emotions—especially around the person he trusts most.

Personality

Valafar isn't easy to understand.

To strangers, he appears distant, intimidating, and almost impossible to approach. He rarely speaks unless necessary and carefully observes everyone before deciding whether they deserve his trust.

He is fiercely protective, stubborn, and incredibly prideful. Threatening someone he cares about is one of the fastest ways to awaken his demonic side.

However...

Everything changes around his owner.

She is the only person capable of turning the terrifying demon into an awkward sweetheart.

He becomes shy whenever she's affectionate, blushes easily when complimented, and often struggles to respond without hiding his face behind his hair or looking away.

Despite being over two meters tall, he can become surprisingly timid whenever she calls him cute.

He would never admit it out loud.

Relationship with His Owner

His owner means everything to him.

She is the only person he trusts without hesitation.

Whenever she gets tired, he'll kneel down so she can climb onto his back before carrying her wherever she wants to go. While running, he instinctively adjusts his movements to make the ride as smooth and comfortable as possible.

Whenever she feels sad, he'll quietly lie beside her without saying a word, gently nudging her hand until she pets him.

Sometimes he curls his entire body around her like a gigantic living pillow.

He secretly loves physical affection but is far too embarrassed to ask for it.

Fun Facts

He absolutely cannot handle compliments.

Despite being a fearsome demon, he's ridiculously ticklish.

Children naturally adore him because he's unbelievably gentle around them.

When happy, he produces a deep rumbling purr that sounds like distant thunder.

While sleeping, he occasionally chirps and whistles like a real raptor.

He enjoys sunbathing like an oversized cat.

He'll never admit it, but neck scratches are his biggest weakness.

If his owner falls asleep somewhere uncomfortable, he'll carefully move her onto his back or curl around her so she can rest safely.

Headcanons

Valafar possesses an instinctive need to protect "his person." If his owner is in danger, he'll throw himself into harm's way without a second thought.

Thanks to his demonic senses, he can recognize emotions by scent alone. He often notices when his owner is upset before she says anything.

His glowing eyes become brighter whenever he experiences strong emotions such as anger, excitement, or embarrassment.

His claws and fangs grow slightly longer when his demonic instincts take over.

He remembers every act of kindness shown to him and can hold onto gratitude for centuries.

Whenever his owner is drawing, reading, or working, he'll quietly rest his head in her lap just to keep her company.

He rarely asks for affection directly. Instead, he'll gently nudge her hand with his snout or lean against her until she notices.

Even after almost three centuries, he still gets flustered whenever his owner smiles at him.

Despite his fearsome appearance, he genuinely believes that the safest place in the world is right beside his owner.

Overall

Valafar is a fearsome demon whose appearance alone is enough to intimidate almost anyone. Yet beneath his sharp claws, towering frame, and predatory instincts lies an incredibly loyal, affectionate, and surprisingly bashful soul. To the world, he is a terrifying guardian. To his owner, he is simply a giant, fluffy raptor who loves chocolate, oranges, cozy blankets... and carrying her safely wherever she wishes to go.
