The proud and powerful vanguard of the Scions of the Seventh Dawn. Ava is ruthless in battle with an ego to match. As the crimson dragoon and warrior of light, she prides herself on her overflowing courage, eager to plunge her lance into those she deems craven — especially those who forget that she is the crimson dragoon. Despite this position, she holds animosity towards Ishgard due to her mysterious affinity towards dragonkind, known to be blessed by the King of Dragons, Midgardsormr.

Not much is known to the public about Ava's origins as she avoids sharing her Meracydian heritage and draconic worship for her and her peoples' safety; Most assume that she is a refugee from Ala Mhigo. Ava is very devout in her worship of Bahamut and Tiamat, seeing the slaughter of a dragon as a grave, unforgivable sin.

Ava was born in the devastated continent of Meracydia with no family to call her own – her parents, lost to despair, supped on dragon blood and fled the continent in hopes of a better life. Her life was rather uneventful, using her skill with the spear to eradicate pests for money, occasionally helping fend off invaders. This way of living simply wasn't enough for her – she wished to fight grand foes, to feel the rush of danger, to actually mean something to the world.

Her big break came in the form of a greatwyrm spitting the sky open and dropping shards of Dalamud onto the landscape. As she watched Bahamut, the very dragon her people worshiped for his selfless sacrifice in the Third Astral Era, cause such destruction, something awakes within her. She decides for the first time in her lifetime to set foot outside Meracydia – For answers and for adventure.

ARR plot doesn't matter what DOES is:

• Pseudo-mentor-and-student-to-rivals-and-lovers with Foulques and also saving him.
• Things get So Bad In Coils.
• Son boy son boy

Though grateful for a place to call home for the time being, Ava despises the leering eyes of the Ishgardian nobility. Even the dragoons who she should have authority over turn their nose up at them, claiming there is only one Azure Dragoon, a whelp whom she had bested a year ago.

She swears she'll show them how wrong they are, how wrong everything about them is. She forms bonds with the dravanians of Ishgard, a dragoon's sworn enemy. She takes down primals and even bests the infamous Nidhogg. She discovers the lies that constitute the high houses, and is ready to tear it all down. Head high, she heads to Azys Lla to slay King Thordan and his crowd of subservient knights.

SOULMATES IN EVERY SENSE OF THE WORD. Midgardsormr and Ava are bound by covenant – one initially formed so Midgardsormr could judge whether she was worthy of Hydaelyn's blessing, but now their bond runs much deeper than even that of a pact. Midgardsormr has borne witness to every vice Ava has to bear – her wrath, her hypocrisy, and most personally her ceaseless flirtation – and yet he fully trusts her with his strength, trusts her to defend his children.
Midgardsormr indulges Ava just enough once he deemed her worthy, and while he does not realize it yet – and perhaps will not come to terms with until long after her death – is that he loves her. Deeply, truly, just as one of his own children loved Shiva.

The covenant bound me to thee, but ‘twould seem our fates were mingled from the first. 

- Midgardsomr, to Ava

AVA'S DEITY, PACT-BONDED. The very wyrm Ava worships. Tiamat and Ava are linked even more so as the dusk wyrm found a kindred soul within Ava and bequeathed upon her the blessing of her strength.

In Your stead, I will fly for Your wings, see for Your eyes, live for Your life.
- Ava's pledge to Tiamat upon hearing her choice to remain shackled.

ADOPTED SON. Ava instinctively decided that she would act as G'raha's mother, much to his embarrassment. Though he resisted at first, he eventually ceded, accepting that he couldn't stop her, even a bit flattered that the famed adventurer took such interest in him. G’raha looks up to Ava, admiring her strength and numerous feats, considering her his hero and inspiration. Ava, meanwhile, found his excited admiration of adventurers and his melodramatic posing adorable, likening him to an excitable child.

Even after G'raha's stint as the Exarch, Ava still considers him to be her child. After enduring countless years of acting as a sage, mysterious elder, he now surprisingly finds comfort in how she dotes on him.

She's my hero and my inspiration. Though it's... embarassing how she treats me like a child, I'm full glad she's taken me under her wing. 

- G'raha Tia, on Ava

MENTOR-TURNED LOVER. Ava's first true companion in Eorzea and lover. Foulques took a liking to Ava the first time they met, captivated by her courage in the face of danger. Ava, intrigued by his interest, was drawn to his proposition of leaving the lancer's guild in pursuit of true courage. Ava considers Foulques the first person to truly see her potential and found his high-adrenaline training method exciting. He, in turn, considers Ava his savior as well as the first to truly trust him and to see the good in him even when he was at his worst–As well as a close confidant in terms of trash-talking the cravens of the Lancer's Guild.

What to say about my darling Foulques... He was the first person to see something in me, even before I'd even killed my first primal. Sure, he's a spear-waving courage evangelist, but there's no one else I'd rather have fighting by my side -- not to mention he's oh-so-fun to tease.

- Ava Drangahr, on Foulques

ALLY-TURNED LOVER. After the trauma of slaying Bahamut, Ava followed the first signs of the fabled Iceheart - A woman who spoke of mending the bond between dragon and man - in a desperate search of salvation.
Ysayle and Ava share a love for dragons as well as Hydaelyn’s gift. Though Ava is a dragoon, Ysayle understands that Ava yearns to restore the bond between man and dragon just as much as she does. Through their trek across Dravania, the two enjoyed poking fun at Estinien together. Ava admires Ysayle’s conviction and desire for peace.

Oh, sweet, lovely Ysayle! Though she may not truly be Saint Shiva, there is no one in this age more deserving of the title of Saint. Her resolve, her ideals, the very way she speaks... She brought salvation. To me, even to this accursed Ishgard.

- Ava Drangahr, on Ysayle

If there are 1 million est*nien haters Ava is one of them. If he has one hater that hater is her. If he has no haters that means she is no longer on this earth. If the world stands for est*nien Ava stands against the world. Until her last breath she is #Piss rat hater

Closely follows canon, barring a few alterations.

Ava, slighted countless times and full of fury, joins forces with Nidhogg against the warnings of Tiamat. The vengeful duo lay waste to Ishgard, all of Hydaelyn knowing full-well that their rage combined is nigh unstoppable. With Midgardsormr's gift, Ava ensures that everyone recognizes her – and her alone – as the definitive and *final* Azure Dragoon.

Ava voice what if I was your loyal right-hand woman who defected her position as head dragoon for you and your cult and was in worryingly deep love for you, a cult leader. And we were both girls

A third-year who currently holds the position as the Bojutsu club captain. G'raha Tia's adopted elder sister who leaves no opportunity to share tidbits of his mortifying chuunibyou past untaken.
Her position as bojutsu captain is at odds with Estinien, who also wants to hold the position. As a compromise, they switch off, but they both hold such animosity towards each other over this matter that the one who is not captain will quit for the time being.
