Tama

He's fully grown now, and while he still must be careful not to over-exert himself, he can fly once more. It's an interesting sight after his strange upbringing stopped him from learning as he should have, but he carries himself with pride nonetheless. Nothing will ever get in his way -- or, if it does, he can find a way around eventually.

A young, optimistic Wind dragon, Tama flew too far out to sea as a hatchling and was knocked down by a storm, left unable to fly and never to be seen by his original clanmates again. He was rescued by members of this loosely-organized clan on a gathering mission and they have accepted him into their ranks. In the time spent waiting for his broken wing to heal, he found himself a place with the dragons here. He can often be found pestering (or entertaining) the others with his curiosity and cheerful if awkward demeanour.

They're teaching him to fight, to hunt and gather in their own style. He says it seems dangerous, he was never meant to be so far underwater, but they tell him it's just fine. The clan's two strongest warriors are Mirrors of Light and Fire, and it's the same magic that lets all of them breathe. The magic stopping the sea from reclaiming their cave in its entirety.

His body isn't shaped too differently than that of the Tidelord, the Mirror duo remind him (at which the pale Fae overseeing their preparations seems offended). And here in the sea, his wings don't matter much -- it's all in how well he can swim. He'll live.

Besides, does he really think he'll ever see his old family again? Dragons who wash up here have a tendency of staying here for a good reason.
