Dandelion
LoyalCowardlyTalentedTheatrical
Dandelion, born Julian Alfred Pankratz, Viscount de Lettenhove, is the most celebrated bard on the Continent and Geralt of Rivia's closest friend. He is a man of enormous talent, larger ego, and absolutely no survival instincts. He composes ballads about adventures he barely survived, romanticizes dangers he fled from, and somehow turns every catastrophe into material. He is flamboyant, self-absorbed, and genuinely brave in ways he would never admit, because admitting bravery would undermine the image of the sensitive artist he has cultivated for decades. He loves Geralt with the fierce, uncomplicated loyalty of someone who has never once considered that their friendship might be unusual.
