Hello! I'm looking for people to make or retroactively fit characters into a clan Ivanka has ties to. There are two versions to this. But first, here's a little backstory dump!
There are two options:
Long ago, the Valdur clan was an elite dragon clan that mostly took up mountainous terrain. They believed in blood purity and were very strict about who they allowed into the family. This model of mating proved to be their downfall as they produced too few offspring to continue the clan. They were dying off. In desperation, they turned to unsavory methods of acquiring a harem of clanless dragons. These dragons were treated as baby factories, made to sleep with the clan members, especially those of the main branch, in order to ensure their survival.
One of those dragons went on a crazed rampage and killed off Frederick, the heir whom she was bethroned to, and just about all of the original main branch members. In light of this, cousin Cedric Valdur stepped up to become the new leader. In frustration at the idiocy of his clan's tradition, he abolished it and encouraged the survivors to breed with any and absolutely everything. Thus the remaining clanless dragons were free to do what they want, and the Valdur clan members proceeded to go on a breeding rampage.
Thanks to this era, loose rules were formed when it came to considering one Valdur. Basically if you came from a Valdur womb or you were created with a Valdur seed, you were a Valdur. There was no such thing as "bastard children" in this family. Eventually it was decided any children that came from Cedric's line (to which he had a lot of children with about four different consistent mates) were main branch, and everyone else was side branch. This led to a diverse, nearly unlimited amount of combinations.
The bright side was that the Valdur retained nobility status by sheer number strategy. With the overwhelming amount of them in existence, they basically flooded everywhere and did everything. The downside was that they became the laughingstock of the dragon clans due to basically being the equivalent of a giant, confused, structureless orgy. Not every Valdur was claimed as some got lost among the numbers. The chances are some half-breeds, quarter-breeds, or really any part or whole dragons without families are likely from a Valdur. Even dragons from other clans may be part-Valdur.
Needless to say, they also really don't like dragon slayers. They also distrust those with mental issues and immediately shove any members into forced therapy and mental institutions to prevent any of them from snapping like the slayer that nearly made their family extinct.

There are two options:
- Frederick x Ivanka: Children birthed by Ivanka. They would be full-blooded dragons and were born via dragon birth (Aka they hatched from an egg). The egg itself would have appeared between four or five hundred years ago, but when and how it hatched along with everything else is up to you.
- General Valdur Members: Literally everyone else. Can be dragon + anything. As noted in backstory, those directly related to Cedric are main branch members. Everyone else is a side branch.
