EDIT: Real computer
Player UN: JimmyEgo
Dragon image:
Name: Forsythia
Gender&Pronouns: Female, she/her
Flight: Fire
Any physical dimorphism? She is slightly above average size, with a wingspan that is nearly triple that of any other snapper's. She can fly and hover, but only for short distances, as her breed's wings were never designed for flight and lack the proper muscle tone. She has minor scarring here and there, enough to indicate that she's been in a battle or two, but nothing very deep or disfiguring. She is not a fast runner, flyer, nor is she quick in combat. Those she does manage to catch, however, don't forget her easily.
Mate: None yet. She tends to fall for females more often than males.
Personality:
Forsythia is very charismatic, or at least she thinks so, and holds herself in high esteem. She can be talkative, and enjoys friendly debates and scholarly discussions-- particularly those involving species-specific habits..
Being a darker, muted colored dragon, she strongly enjoys dragons and trinkets with bright colors. Occasionally, she decorates herself in bright clothing she finds and tries to befriend brightly colored familiars. In the past, she has attempted taking on radiantly colorful coatls as her mate.
She is not all sunshine and bubbles, however. Forsythia has an insatiable taste for the flesh of other dragons. Not that she won't eat typical plants and fish, but given the opportunity, she will devour a fallen enemy or even a fellow clanmate. Her morals, however, keep her from killing another dragon on the sole purpose of feeding on them. She simply believes it is unnecessary to waste such a delicacy should the circumstances arise.
The expulsion:
Forsythia had been banished for cannibalism. In a battle between her fire clan and a neighboring lightning clan, she struck down an enemy wildclaw. The lightning clan was attempting to capture prisoners that they could force to work in their laborious mines and sweatshops. She waited until she believed she was alone to feast on the blue-eyed warrior, but she was spotted by one of her fellow clanmates.
"Wh-what are you doing!? Forsythia, what-!?" A silver, adolescent guardian thundered toward her, gathering in the whole scene laid out before him.
Forsythia whipped around, spitting out the fleshy bit that she had been chewing on.
"Gurder! It isn't what it looks like!"
"Forsythia, how could you!?"
"Gurder, listen, I-"
"No! You heathen!" The guardian backed away, shaking his head in disgust. "You're a monster! This is against the laws, Forsythia! You've brought this dishonor on yourself!" The dragon turned and ran a few steps before taking flight.
"Wait!" Her stomach churned, her appetite suddenly gone. She ran and took to the skies after the young guardian, but she couldn't catch up to him or even keep pace with him. She landed sloppily, and watched as her clanmate disappeared over the treetops. She feared what would happen to her when she returned home.
...
She sat hunched over in her leader's cave, unable to make eye contact with the dark blue skydancer.
"Forsythia. Gurder claims to have seen you eating, actually
eating, another dragon. What do you have to say for yourself?"
The snapper opened her mouth to speak, but no words came out. She was so humiliated. She was ashamed that she'd finally been caught.
"Your silence admits your guilt. For shame, Forsythia. I had always feared the creature that nobody could see, that upturned our graves and devoured our departed. Our own clanmates, lost in battle or sickness or age. I had sent out parties looking for this despicable monster, but nobody could find the one responsible. For FlameCaller's sake, Forsythia,
hatchlings were buried out there. All this time, it was really you?"
Still, she could not look up at her leader, for she knew what would come next.
"You're such a dedicated warrior. You're so good with the hatchlings, and you're one of the brightest pupils I've ever seen. This is blasphemy, you know. You're punishment is death." The skydancer shook her head sorrowfully. "I'm... sorry, Forsythia. You were a great dragon. But I can't overlook this." Regretfully, her leader coiled for an attack, teeth bared.
"I understand." The snapper, straightened her back, her orange eyes narrowed and her wings relaxed behind her. "Then you must also understand why I must do THIS!"
She snarled and leapt at her leader, who was too surprised to counter the attack. They scuffled for a moment, but Forsythia had had the upper hand from the start. She pinned the delicate dragon to the ground and used her weight to crush the skydancer's chest. She heard two pops and the dragon went limp, gasping for air.
Forsythia listened to her breathing for a moment, and then left the small cave. Her leader would live, but she knew she had no place in this clan anymore. She charged into the night and ran away from her clan forever.
Inventory: A lightweaver doll and a small amount of seafood.
Other: She has no intention on giving up her fixation with dragon meat, though she would love to start a family and become a part of a clan again.
