Bandage Babe is no longer a trope

Added DiffLines:

* NamedAfterSomebodyFamous: His Ashlander mother slapped him with ''Veloth-Alandro-Dravyn'' at birth, after the legendary prophet, a great Dunmer hero renowned for fighting the Tongues and one of his ancestors. He prefers to go with the shortened ''Velandryn''.


Added DiffLines:

* DaddysGirl: Her father positively doted on her when she was very young. Their relationship splintered and frayed after becoming vampires, and was ultimately broken when Serana fled from her own will.

Added DiffLines:

* CuriosityIsACrapshoot: He enjoys nosing around Daedra summoning, decides to take a vampire back to her home merely he wants to know more about her coven, and it's strongly implied [[EldritchAbomination Hermaeus Mora]] wants to rally him to its cause for this.


Added DiffLines:

* LogicalWeakness: As Dunmers originate from the volcanic Morrowind, Velandryn is ''very'' sensitive to cold.


Added DiffLines:

* PlayingWithFire: A racial trait. It allows him to wield fire magic and to endure hotter temperatures and open flames without a complain. Still, even he is wary of exposing himself directly to dragonfire.


Added DiffLines:

* SwordAndSorcerer: Lydia is firmly on the physical side of fighting, contrasting with her mystically-leaning thane.

* FriendlyNeighbourhoodVampire
* RapeAsBackstory
* ReallySevenHundredYearsOld
* SupernaturalGoldEyes
* WeCanRuleTogether

to:

* FriendlyNeighbourhoodVampire
FriendlyNeighbourhoodVampire: Compared to her more bloodthirsty and ambitious brethren, Serana at least shows genuine curiosity and respect towards men and elves. She also tries to not indulge her thirst too much, or to target reprehensible people who won't be missed.
* RapeAsBackstory
RapeAsBackstory: She really, really doesn't want to remember how Molag Bal made her into a Daughter of Coldharbour.
* ReallySevenHundredYearsOld
ReallySevenHundredYearsOld: She's older than the ''Empire as an institution'', making her four thousand years old at the strict minimum.
* SupernaturalGoldEyes
SupernaturalGoldEyes: They mark her as a vampire from the Volkihar strain. Velandryn cannot help but find them strangely compelling.
* WeCanRuleTogetherWeCanRuleTogether: As she grew attached to Velandryn's friendship on the way back to Harkon's fortress, Serana started to entertain the idea of turning him to not lose him. Due to Velandryn's potent loathing towards vampires, the offer wasn't accepted.

* GutturalGrowler: His voice is described as raspy, which he attributes to growing up in the ash-choked atmosphere of Morrowind.



* PermaShave: His being a Dunmer means he only needs to shave once a week, and still it's the slightest scruff.



* IOweYouMyLife
* MentorArchetype
* WhatYouAreInTheDark

to:

* IOweYouMyLife
IOweYouMyLife: Part of the reason why she volunteers to serve Velandryn as his housecarl, as he rescued her from being burned alive by Mirmulnir when the dragon attacked Whiterun.
* MentorArchetype
MentorArchetype: She instructs her thane both in swordsmanship and Nord culture.
* WhatYouAreInTheDarkWhatYouAreInTheDark: Following Mirmulnir's attack, she got a promotion to serjeant as she long dreamed and could have walked away from this weird little elf and his insufferable pride. Then she saw all her fellow guards refusing the post of housecarl merely because of Velandryn's race, and she remembered how he saved her life in spite of being obviously ''terrified'' by the dragon, and she volunteered for the place.



* CursedWithAwesome
* DefectorFromDecadence
* FishOutOfTemporalWater

to:

* CursedWithAwesome
CursedWithAwesome: Remembering how she was turned into a vampire gave her lasting trauma but she positively relishes the perks coming with it.
* DefectorFromDecadence
DefectorFromDecadence: After coming back to the Volkihar fortress, she gradually understands she cannot stand her father's mad plans and run away.
* FishOutOfTemporalWaterFishOutOfTemporalWater: She lived before the establishment of the Tamrielic Empire by Alessia, when the Dunmer were still the Chimer and the Dwemer hadn't disappeared. Needless to say, she has a ''lot'' to catch up.

* BlessedWithSuck: His opinion regarding his newfound destiny. Being the Dragonborn isn't so sweet when faced with racism, the eventuality of losing your mind to your draconic essence or the obligation to face a fiery demise by multiton flying lizard.



* InterspeciesRomance: So far, he slep with human shopkeeper Camilla and shows interest for the human High Queen Elisif and the vampiress Serana Volkihar.

* PintSizedPowerhouse
* RedEyesTakeWarning
* ResignedToTheCall
* StepfordSmiler

to:

* PintSizedPowerhouse
PintSizedPowerhouse: The narration often notes he's scrawny and rather petite, barely reaching Lydia's chin. Since he's the Dragonborn, he also has the potential to grow into an invincible demigod.
* RedEyesTakeWarning
RedEyesTakeWarning: The Legendary Dragonborn has red eyes courtesy of being a Dunmer, for which it's a racial trait.
* ResignedToTheCall
ResignedToTheCall: He really, really thinks he's the ''worst'' possible choice to become the prophesied Nord hero-messiah, but since everyone wants for him to fulfill this role, this is what he's going to give them.
* StepfordSmilerStepfordSmiler: Mainly a Depressed type, as he's genuinely terrified and dismayed to have been acknowledged as the Dragonborn. On the other hand, his expressions are artificial because he genuinely needs to think about it before emoting -- the Dunmer favoring WindowsOfTheSoul over facial expressions.



* BodyguardingABadass
* ButchLesbian
* FishOutOfWater

to:

* BodyguardingABadass
BodyguardingABadass: Theorically, her serving the Dragonborn as his housecarl would be that. Practically, Velandryn is far away from being a full-flegded badass when she enters his service.
* ButchLesbian
ButchLesbian: Her main attribute is being an ActionGirl, she often wears pants and sees no appeal into men.
* FishOutOfWaterFishOutOfWater: When Velandryn sends her to Blacklight in Morrowind, she becomes a Nord lost in front of the Dunmer culture.

* CurtainsMatchTheWindows

* FieryRedhead
* FishOutOfWater
* InterspeciesRomance
* OlderThanTheyLook

to:

* CurtainsMatchTheWindows
CurtainsMatchTheWindows: A redhead with red eyes.
* ExpectingSomeoneTaller
ExpectingSomeoneTaller: A scrawny Dark Elf who worships Daedra is ''not'' how the Nords pictured the prophesied Dragonborn.
* FantasticRacism
FantasticRacism: Both on the giving and receiving side.
** On the giving side, he loathes the Imperials for almost cutting his head in a truly unfortunate MiscarriageOfJustice, maintains the Nords are nothing but smelly brutes, believes the only good vampire is a dead one and verbally lambasted an outlander Dunmer for having the gall to adress him.
** On the receiving side, more than a few people in Skyrim deride his religion, refuse to adress him by his name and constantly call him "elf", and of course the Imperials didn't bother with verifying if he truly deserved to be executed because c'mon, he's only a Dunmer.
* FieryRedhead
FieryRedhead: Velandryn tends to be rather controlled, but can verbally explode and rant at someone when he feels insulted.
* FishOutOfWater
FishOutOfWater: Being an Anointed of the Temple, Velandryn knows everything about the Saints and the House of Troubles, but he has no idea whatsoever about how to deal with Nord culture, even less this Dragonborn business.
* InterspeciesRomance
HeroicBastard: He casually reveals he's the product of an affair between an Ashlander and a more settled Dunmer who promptly dumped him at the Temple to be raised.
* OlderThanTheyLookInterspeciesRomance: So far, he slep with human shopkeeper Camilla and shows interest for the human High Queen Elisif and the vampiress Serana Volkihar.
* MixedAncestry: His mother was from the Ashlander Urshilaku tribe.
* OlderThanTheyLook: Being a Dunmer, he really doesn't look like he's forty-seven years old.
