If you're a big fantasy reader (or if you spend any time on BookTok), chances are you've read Fourth Wing and Iron Flame , aka the Empyrean Series. Since the books haven't been adapted into a show or movie quite yet, we've all only imagined what the story's characters look like. Well, we used AI to make portraits of each character based on their description in the book! See if these match up to the images you made in your head while reading:

Violet Sorrengail:

https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?url=4FWYst_0rT8f59Z00 — Violet is described as pale, small in stature, and somewhat frail. She has brown hair that becomes silver toward the ends, which she keeps in a braid. Her eyes are a mix of amber and blue hues.

Xaden Riorson:

https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?url=1rkHAZ_0rT8f59Z00 — Xaden is described as having windswept black hair and tawny brown skin, with dark brows and a muscular chest and arms. He also has a scar over his left eye, and — of course — a rebellion relic marking that goes up his arm and the side of his neck.

Dain Aetos:

https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?url=35Mxoc_0rT8f59Z00 — Dain is described as having brown eyes, light brown hair with slight curls, a trimmed beard, and a small scar on his face. Upon seeing him, Violet says that he went "from cute to gorgeous."

Andarna:

https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?url=0dcm7l_0rT8f59Z00 — Cute lil' bb Andarna has golden scales and paws instead of claws, and her tail ends in feathers.

Rhiannon Matthias:

https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?url=45TcA3_0rT8f59Z00 — Rhiannon is described as having dark skin and dark, curly hair that frames her face like a halo when she lets it down. She often wears sleeveless armor to keep her arms and shoulders free for better movement.

Jack Barlowe:

https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?url=0qbnQC_0rT8f59Z00 — Jack has a "monstrous frame" with icy blue eyes and blonde hair. His face has a slightly reddish tint, especially when he's angry.

General Lilith Sorrengail:

https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?url=461hNj_0rT8f59Z00 — Violet's mother is described as looking more similar to Mira than to Violet. She's strong and muscular, with dark hair cut short and a cold demeanor.

Mira Sorrengail:

https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?url=0anERr_0rT8f59Z00 — Mira is described as tall and strong with hair that she keeps short so it's more convenient when she's riding her dragon. She's most often dressed in her flight leathers. She's said to look very much like her mCFother, but with a kinder demeanor.

Liam Mairi:

https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?url=1SB1CX_0rT8f59Z00 — Liam is said to be tall and athletic, with spiky blond hair and dimples when he smiles. He also has blue eyes and a "prominent" nose.

Ridoc Gamlyn:

https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?url=1Bm0O1_0rT8f59Z00 — Ridoc is said to have floppy brown hair and brown skin, and is shorter that most of the other cadets. He's a wisecracker and has lively eyes.

Sawyer Henrick:

https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?url=29cZzg_0rT8f59Z00 — Sawyer is described as tall, thin, and wiry, with a light complexion and lots of freckles on his face and neck.

Imogen Cardulo:

https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?url=1r997E_0rT8f59Z00 — Imogen notably has pink hair that is shaved on one side, and Violet says that "her beauty is only outmatched by her brutality." She has a rebellion relic on her left arm.

Professor Carr:

https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?url=3KCIN7_0rT8f59Z00 — Professor Carr is described as having "thin, white hair" and surprising strength for his frame. He's often seen taking notes and impassively studying human-dragon interaction.

Professor Emettorio:

https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?url=48G9xD_0rT8f59Z00 — Professor Emettorio, who heads up athletic studies for the riders, is often seen with his notebook and pocket watch so he can keep track of the riders' times and scores. He's described as having a compact frame, with a shiny bald head and bushy eyebrows.

Professor Kaori:

https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?url=0Bl10K_0rT8f59Z00 — Violet describes the dragonkind teacher as having "serious, dark eyes" and a "perfectly trimmed mustache." Not much else is said about his age or appearance.

General Melgren:

https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?url=3GN1Li_0rT8f59Z00 — Not much is said about the specifics of Melgren's appearance, except that he is "terrifying" and has "beady, calculating eyes."

Sgaeyl:

https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?url=34mMt3_0rT8f59Z00 — Sgaeyl is described as having dark blue scales and being one of the larger and more intimidating dragons in the quadrant.

Tairn:

https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?url=23MyRP_0rT8f59Z00 — Tairneanach is a huge dragon, to the point where Violet doesn't even reach his ankle. He has black scales and large claws, and a morningstar tail.
