My Savage raid buddies and I in Final Fantasy XIV! I'm 3rd from the right with the gun and the only girl in the group. I've known these guys since before we started raiding in Coil back in 2013. We had more raiders back then and may have been in different groups at the time. I finally got to meet almost all of them in-person at the Las Vegas Fanfest in 2023! I'd do it again in a heartbeat!
The 10th year Eternal Bonding Anniversary of my husband and I.
My daughter and I the week we finished our Pebble research!
~About Me~
~Pleasure to meet you! I'm known as DerpyDragon on Roblox! I'm a mother of 1 daughter that also plays Roblox so she, my husband and I tend to play a lot (of Dandy's World) together. I've been a gamer since I was small, starting off with classics such as Mario and Mega Man. Growing up I have played a huge variety of games and now I am currently invested into MMO's such as Final Fantasy XIV (since launch which was 12 years ago!!), gacha games such as Honkai Star Rail and farming games such as Fantasy Life, Fields of Mistria, Stardew Valley, etc. I also met my husband of 13 years on Final Fantasy XI! Roblox-wise I obviously love Dragon Adventures and any games that may involve pet collecting.
~I like to describe myself as super open-minded, patient and willing to lend a shoulder to anybody that just needs somebody to talk to. I'm currently trying my best to form boundaries and help myself grow to be more confident. It's been insanely hard for me to make friends and I'm usually really scared to get involved in chat or conversations. I'm insanely socially awkward...lol. 💗Overall, I believe everybody is human and should be treated as such, no matter who they are or what they identify as. Kindness goes a long way since we have no idea what another person is going through. We need more love in this world, not hate.💗
~I started Dragon Adventures back when eggs were heavily camped. It was hard to get them and even after getting a private server, eggs still didn't spawn for me. I stopped for a couple years until my daughter started playing again and noticed how much it changed for the better! Over time I started learning about themes and it highly piqued my interest. It was insanely interesting to see the creativity people put into the color and material schemes on dragons, so I joined the Dojie Discord server to learn more.
~Theme collecting and sharing is now something I absolutely love and is something that brings me a lot of joy. Opening a shop was something that took a LOT of thinking and courage as I was super scared to, but when I first opened The Dragon Patch, it has helped me immensely by getting out of my shell to reach out and get to know others. I've even formed a lot of great bonds with other shop owners and I'm VERY thankful for that. You are ALL awesome!
~My dream in the game wasn't any sort of dragon, but for me to get just ONE theme onto the Dojie theme sheet! I got inspiration from another FFXIV player that had created the theme for Emet-Selch/Hades and I thought, "why not also make a FFXIV theme based on my favorite character?" On March 11th, 2025, Crystal Exarch (based off of The Crystal Exarch/G'raha Tia) was Dojie's Approved!! Over time, I have added 6 more themes (Sugar Rush, Harvest Moon, Zodiark, Radiant Leo, Khaslana and Red Velvet Mocha) to the sheet!

~What to Expect From My Shop~
~As a shop owner, I want to create a positive experience with anybody that shops with me! Have Feedback? PLEASE let me know - I take it seriously!
~I welcome any and all themes! Don't think your theme is liked or popular? Allow me to add it to my site so it can be seen!
~I am MORE THAN HAPPY to help you with your WIP's and sales!! Though I do miss some in the Trade Channel, I do my best to reach out to as many people as I can to help support their themes. Just toss me a DM!
~Please keep in mind that I'm just one person running the whole shop. As a working mom, I can still be insanely busy! I think i've been incredibly good at getting orders to people within 3 days of receiving their order, but anything can happen!
~I do try to check and make sure every theme is also true to the theme template. However, I do make mistakes like everybody else. If you received an order where the theme is not true or has a mistake, please let me know and I will correct the theme and make sure yours is replaced for free. I'm very transparent with what I have and will list what elements, colors and mats my dragons have if the theme has options, which a lot of them do.
~I will always try to keep you updated about your order. If the order is going to take more than 2 days, I will DM you. You're also welcome to also DM me asking about the status of your order as long as I don't continuously get DM's. I do have a Trello on the order portion of the site that I use! Keeping track of that will also let you know the status of your order.
~About negative stats: For a while I have tried my best to clean every theme I get in. However, that led to a HUGE burnout and a lot of frustration. From now on I will not be cleaning themes and I apologize for this. You are more than welcome to still DM me and ask if a specific theme is clean or not.
