Returning Forum member, hello again!
I'm not actually new to this game or Forum, I just wasn't exactly sure what section to put this post, so I hope this is okay!
Hi! As mentioned above I'm not new to this fandom, however I feel I should re-introduce myself as I haven't been here for a while :D
A little bit about me
- My name is Izabella, but I was more commonly known here as Izzy. You can call me either!
- I am 15 and from/living in New Zealand
- Some of my interests other than the HTTYD fandom include visual art, guitar, Harry Potter, and recently a friend introduced me to Pokemon. I also love plants, animals and fantastical creatures (including dragons, obviously)
I used to be fairly active on this Forum around 2017?-2018 on my first account Embalathedragonhatcher and later a lot more involved using the account Izzydrawsdragons 2019-2020ish? However, I lost interest in the game and eventually the Forum (mainly due to age and school).
If you are wondering why I didn’t just use my previous account, I thought it best to start anew so my tracking list was not cluttered up with old posts - also I wanted a different username, one to match my Instagram account (@izabella.artworks)
What brought me back is remembering all the lovely people on here who talked to me and made me amazing art. I also miss making art for others - it was great practice and I enjoy making people happy (although I have definitely improved since I was last here… every now and then I see some of my old drawings floating around and cringe at how bad they look but I have no doubt i’ll think the same thing about my current art in a few years!)
Here’s some old art I made for Forum members
My art now!
Although this post itself is not a free art thread, I plan on taking Art Requests (and trades if anyone wants too) in the near future - so watch out for that! I would love to make some art for people right now, however it is nearing benchmarks (a kind of practice exam we do here in New Zealand prior to the actual thing) and end of year exams for me, both of which have become a little complicated and more difficult than normal due to NZ going into another lockdown.
So all in all hello! Although I haven’t played School Of Dragons in some time, I still have a love for this franchise, so I’m looking forward to chatting with others whether it be HTTYD related or something else and also making (and maybe requesting) some art :)
I’m not sure if anyone will comment on this but if you have any questions about NZ or otherwise feel free to ask!
Hello! I never actually knew you, as I am quite new here myself, but hi!
More fellow Potterheads xD What's your house and Patronus?
Ooo yess New Zealand. Is it really as beautiful as everyone says it is? I've never been there myself, but I have had some family friends go. I live a little close though. Some said there are steaming puddles of water there or something xD
Nice to meet you! :D
You mean hot springs?
I wish I could go to New Zealand ;n;
Oops! The text is quite small for some reason, sorry about that!
Ah yes. Hot springs. That's what they were called. Steaming puddles XD
Aw, that's such a cute little Patronus OwO and finally, a Hufflepuff! I honestly thought I was going to get Hufflepuff (don't get me wrong, theres nothing wrong with it, its too underrated)
But wow, that's pretty cool. The nearest beach to me is two hours away :c
Living on an island has its benefits, surrounded by ocean means you are never more than 130km (about 80 miles) from a beach! Where I live its only a 13 minute drive to the coast
Sorry for not asksing before but what is your house? I'm assuming it isn't Hufflepuff which leaves me guessing from the other 3 options XD
Wow. That's close. Me and a bunch of family friends would go somewhere near beaches every year. But I don't think we'll be able to go this year. :c But, bEtTeR sAfE tHeN sOrRy I guess.
Surprisingly, my house is Gryffindor, sorted on the official website. On an unofficial one, I think I did it four times. Three of the four i got Gryffindor and the one remaining time i got Hufflepuff.
Edit: I forgot to mention originally, but your art looks amazing! That's a big improvement.
Sorry to uh but into your conversation like this butttttt
I'm a Ravenclaw and my patronus is a - a- buzzard. (NGL I was expecting something cooler). Anddd, I think ivalue wit and intelligence too much. Probably over kindness.
No problem butting in! Despite being Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw is actually my favourite house. I adore the overall "aesthetic" of the it if that makes sense and I think they would have the best common room. Don't get me wrong, I love the idea of Hufflepuffs cozy, plant filled common room but I'm not so keen on the idea of it being underground. I think I'd much prefer the airy, elegant and book-filled Ravenclaw Tower with its views of the grounds.
Ooo a buzzard, still pretty cool in my opinion - bird patronus' for the win! :D If I didn't like my patronus though I'd probably just choose another one I like or think fits me, since I think the official quiz is quite randomized.
I'm a Gryffindor and my patronus is an animal that is partially blind and digs under dirt making a mess of dirt piles.
Yep you guessed it. A mole.
Why of all creatures is it a mole?
Um.....
I am not partially blind.
Yes I do make a mess sometimes
And uhhh what do moles relate to me for?
I think I chose the wrong answers to the patronus quiz tbh. It was going wayyyy too fast.
I think moles can be pretty adorable but I do find it tricky imagining a tiny, half-blind creature fighting off dementors XD
I found this (unofficial) site which someone made a list of all the patronus' you can get and "what they say about you"
https://www.mugglenet.com/2017/08/patronus-say-personality/
For example, my patronus
Swift - Although swifts can be perceived as flighty, that’s only because they have a strong sense of determination and a drive to accomplish things as quickly as possible, which makes them go from one endeavor to the next very quickly. They are hopeful, positive, and energetic and are drawn to live and work in large communities, where they find inspiration from the high spirits of others.
Strangely enough, I'd say this is pretty accurate to me!
Mole - Moles are small, velvety-furred mammals that live underground. They spend their lives digging and foraging underground and are very solitary animals. They prefer loose soil and often wreak havoc under gardens where the dirt has been loosened by vegetation. If this is your Patronus, you’ll have a mischievous but effective helper at your side!
^^ I found the one on Moles too, not really any good information though D:
You can re do the patronus quiz, but sadly you would have to delete and re-make your account. Also I'm pretty sure the questions can change a lot, making your patronus very randomized.
Ooo a Griffindor! Only person I know irl in that house is my sister, I have two Slytherin friends, a Ravenclaw and the rest don't really care for Harry Potter.
I've actually taken the official test a total of 4 times by deleting and remaking my account (I promise I'm not crazy haha) and i've had Hufflepuff twice and Ravenclaw twice. Although it can be hard to only fit the traits of one house I'm not a big fan of the "hybrid houses" like Ravenpuff or Slitherclaw so I just stick to Hufflepuff!
Hope you can make your next beach trip sooner rather than later (as long as it's safe) :)
o0o!
I literally have only three other Potterheads out of the girls in my class, the rest are Muggles :I (I mean, there are only eight anyway)
Welp, I could be a Gryffinpuff i guess. Not really a big fan of these 'hybrid houses' either.
I do want to go, but i dpn't think we'll be able to :c Oh well.
Anyway, nice to meet you, and hope we can talk again soon!
Izzy? Does somewhat ring a bell in my mind, especially involving art.
Hallo welcome back o:
Though I tend to float around the forums and is barely active here anymore. Most also left the forums quietly and is replaced by new peeps.
Hi! I do remember once I asked about your gorgeous pixel art and you were kind enough to send me a few tutorials about making my own - I tried a little but decided to just stick to traditional art. Thanks for the welcome and your art is SO AMAZING!!
Hi Izzy!
Welcome back to Ze Forums! I love your art and I'm definitely going to give you 1000001 requests, so watch out!
Hello!
Ha - same name (well almost). I'm actually 3/4 Hungarian (my dad is full Hungarian, my mum is half Hungarian/Kiwi and was born/grew up here) which is why my name is spelt with a z! It's like the European-ised version but still pronounced the same as the version with an s. It's not a drastically foreign name or anything but it's definitely been mispelt on school certificates before XD
Thanks for the compliment - I'll be happy to take your art requests when I'm ready! :D
Wow, I finally find someone else who is a mix of different countries. I have more complicated fractions which make my head spin.
I've had my name misspelled as well. I threw those certificates away XD.
Yay, art! ^^
Hey Izzy! It's so lovely to see you around here again! I wondered where you went. xD The forum hasn't been quite the same since you left! Welcome back, Izzy! ^^
Hey again! Aww thanks, I've had fun making art for you in the past before and I'd be glad to make you more in the future if you'd like!
Of course! I will absolutely take you up on that offer. xD
Ohh I love seeing art progress like that. So much improvement!
Your old usernames sound familiar. Welcome back!
Hey! Thanks - and you have some god-tier artwork. One thing I've been trying to work on recently is shading/lighting which you do beautifully :)
I remember you! But I was a ghost, so you won't have a clue who I am XD I always admired your art and you were one of the few non-digital artist on here so join the throng of non-digital artists! (I can't draw digitally to save my life XD) Welcome back : )
Hi! Thanks, fellow non-digital artist XD I've dabbled a little in digital art before (aka drawing with my finger on my computer's tablet screen) and I LOVE all the different looks you can create with it but for now I'm sticking to painting and drawing.
I remember you! Welcome back! I always silently tracked your art threads because I thought you were such an amazing artist(and I still do). I look forward to seeing you back around the forum. :D
Hi! Awww thanks for the compliments :) I believe I remember you being quite helpful around here - telling people how to insert images and stuff like that.
You're welcome! :)
Welcome back Izzy :D It's good to see you back!
Not sure if you remember me or not but it's me War (before named Nightflowers) but yeah I'm glad to see a returning forum user :D
Hi, thanks for the welcome and good to see you again! I do remember you, glad you are still here :)
My goodies! I remember you! I still adore the art you did of RotomDex despite it being rather old! I was just thinking about you this week, I was wondering if you were alright, what a coincidence xD
Your art greatly improved! Beautiful and very detailed! ^^
Hi again! Thanks for your compliments, and that is a funny coincidence. I still have all of the art you made for me and treasure it greatly :) As for RotomDex, after recently being introduced to Pokemon I now understand what he was named after!
I don't believe we knew each other at all, but those previous forum names do look familiar. Welcome back! It's always nice to see more people here. Absolutely love your art, too. <3
Aww thanks for the compliment, nice to meet you!
Oh my goodness!
I remember you! (If I'm not mistaken...) You were Embala Oceanheart, right? I remember seeing a lot of brilliant Scauldron art.
It's so good you're back! You seem like such a nice person. Happy return to the SoD Forums, mate! :)
Hi again! Yup haha that was me! My 11 year old self downloaded School Of Dragons and needed an account name so I'm pretty sure I just searched "girl viking names" and picked one of the first I saw, making my username ingame "Embalathedragonhatcher". My scauldron (whom I named Tsunami) was the first dragon I purchased with gems ingame so keeping with the ocean theme I gave my character the surname "Oceanheart" and kind of rolled with the blue theme XD
In the future I plan on revamping my character, giving her a more original name and backstory. I'll probably keep her main dragon a Scauldron though - they are still one of my favourtie dragons and kind of hold sentimental value to me.
Nice to see you again and hope to chat a bit more in the future :)

Hi, nice to meet you too!
My Hogwarts house is Hufflepuff and my patronus is a swift. I'll admit when I took the house quiz I 100% thought I would be in Ravenclaw and was a little dissapointed when I was placed in Hufflepuff, as I consider myself an academic and creative person. However, after looking into the traits of Hufflepuff I learned that I was placed correctly and am much happier about it. I also asked my friends about the matter and they all INSTANTLY said I was Hufflepuff, which pretty much settles that debate.
^ My very small, but very adorable patronus
As for New Zealand, yes I would consider it very beautiful here! Of course many of us (like myself) live in towns/cities but we have many national parks and areas of native bush (we don't call it forest) which are relatively untouched, unspoiled and home to wildlife such as native birds.
About the "steaming puddles of water" we do have thermal pools and hot springs here. Rotorua is known as our geothermal capital because of boiling mud pools, geysers and natural hot pools. Everyone I know whose been there on holiday always reports that it smells like "rotten eggs" because of the abundance of sulfur XD
There's also hot water beach, which as the name states is basically a beach with steaming water below the sand. At low tide people often bring shovels and dig their own natural hot pools to relax in!
