One for the money, two for the show
I never was ready, so I watch you go
G’lotch Drake

Will you say to them when I'm gone
"I loved your son for his sturdy arms
We both learned to cradle then live without"

At a Glance
Street-smart and silver-tongued.
Moves like he’s late, talks like he’s flirting.
More charm than coin, but he gets by.
Never met a shortcut he didn’t like.
Helps at the family stall when he’s not vanishing on a whim.
Ears always twitching — he’s listening, even when he’s lounging.
Still learning red magic, mostly to impress someone.
Leaves quick, lingers quiet.
Happier in motion, but always looking back.
Relationships
X’rhun Tia: The legend himself. G’lotch swears it’s just magic lessons, but he listens too close, stays too late, and gets flustered way too fast. Might be love. Might be hero worship. Might be both. Either way, he’s in deep — and pretending he’s not.
Thancred Waters: Sometimes they flirt, sometimes they fight, sometimes they vanish on each other. Whatever it was (or is), it’s a tangle of sharp edges and a few soft moments he pretends he doesn’t remember. Messy? Yeah. Over? Not quite.
Mila: Smart, fierce, and still pinching his cheeks like he’s five. She means well. She also always knows when he’s lying.
Selina: Older. Loud about everything. The type who'll toss a sandal at his head one minute and defend him to the death the next. Drives him nuts. He adores her.
Garen Drake: His stepfather, a Hyur carpenter with a heart of gold and the patience of a saint. Calls G’lotch “kid” even now.
Well, I hope I was your favorite crime
Born in the bustling heart of Ul'dah, G'lotch never knew the tribe-life that marked his mother's early years. Once a Keeper of the Moon, Mila left that life behind after falling for a Sun Seeker and, eventually, a kindhearted Hyur carpenter and merchant named Garen. She made her way to Ul'dah while still pregnant with G'lotch, carrying more regrets than belongings. His older sister, Selina, had already been born into the Sun Seeker way. Still, G'lotch grew up a different kind of creature — more city-slicker than wildling, shaped by back-alley shortcuts, busy marketplaces, and the smell of sawdust. A sharp aim and a sharper tongue carried him farther than any map. G’lotch never lacked for love, but he learned young that love didn’t always mean staying.
I, I confess; I can tell that you are at your best
I'm selfish so I'm hating it
