Iconic Adaine Moments/Scenes (Season 1) || Fantasy High || Dimension 20

Adaine is possible my favorite character in Fantasy High. I love her story arch in both seasons and I wanted to share the amazing moments she has. Also there is a lot more foreshadowing of her parents being the villains of season 2 than I remembered.

*HUGE FANTASY HIGH SEASON 1 SPOILER* . . . . . the elven oracle dying was in episode one during adaine's first scene. brennan is one hell of a storyteller to put that in during the first ever encounter with adaine, who at this point is now technically the new elven oracle. i cannot believe it. the work brennan does is truly fantastic.

[@thatsnailboi1598]

To be fair, as a DM, it is much more likely that he came up with that as a detail to throw in there, and then later found a way to incorporate it into the story. But it was still fantastic that he used it.

[@BadWolf739]

@@thatsnailboi1598 I can't imagine that that was incorporated later as Brennan hinged basically the entire plot on Adaine being the oracle and stealing the Watches and Wards book from the library.

[@thatsnailboi1598]

@@BadWolf739 For him specifically, and how thorough he is with planning, you might be right, but a lot of DM's base their stories so much on "winging it" that it would absolutely happen

[@GroundHOG-2010]

Something I found great about it was it really was a who did this sort of story and all the details were put out there. Brennan put them in there, with meaning and didn't like push the point too much. It really made it fun trying to figure the plot out. Even now explaining the structure of the bad guys is confusing and complex and really, really interesting in it's own right.

[@charlestoncooper5265]

also i don’t think this was intentional but she technically did say a bit of a prophecy right after the elven oracle died “i will come back with some of my friends and beat you ass” or something to her sister

[@SenorVilla]

Probably my favorite thing in all of Sophomore Year was (spoilers) when Ayda crafted Adayne a spell just so she could actually punch things like she's always wanted, that was truly paying off one of the coolest traits of Adayne and Siobhan as a player, that they prioritize emotionally realistic choices instead of optimized ones

How rad would it have been if Adaine contracted Lycanthropy

[@Blasted2Oblivion]

Assuming she didn't try to cure it immediately, I have a rough guess on how it would play out. 1. She starts off nervous about being a werewolf. 2. Her newfound power comes in clutch and saves her or one of the other Bad Kids. 3. She gains a lot of confidence and starts to get cocky with it. 4. She overextends and hurts someone close to her when she loses control. 5. She is right back to step 1 and stuck there until season end or cure.
