Rosalina

Name: Rosalina
Mate: Orion

The Sweet Rose

On her own for as long as she can remember, Rosalina took a liking to the unlikely grounds of the mirrorlight promenade. A far cry from the fiery grounds of her birth home, she found comfort in the sun's rays, and spent her days soaking up the calming warmth while napping on various rubble and rocks. At night, she tried to memorize the stars, finding them far clearer there than anywhere else she'd ever been, and sang, loving how her voice echoed in the darkness.
To her very surprise, one quiet night brought a stumbling male into her once-abandoned 'home'. With his eyes on the sky above, it was little wonder he could even walk straight, and she soon found him charming... And began to sing. Delighted when he noticed her, they fell into a conversation that not only kept her enraptured until dawn, but had her wanting more. Thankfully, the other dragon, whom she later learned was named Orion, continued to 'lose his way' to her, night after night.
But it was not to be. Afraid of getting too attached to him, Rosalina slipped away after one of their conversations, and tried to find another place to make her own, maybe in another realm. If she let herself get too close to Orion, she knew the risk of falling in love was there, and she was nowhere near ready to give up her freedom. She couldn't! Being in love meant she'd never be able to do anything again, and simply be a tool for providing his clan with hatchlings! She'd never feel the sun's warm rays again, and that handsome dragon would-
Oh dear.
Several days into her running, she discovered the truth: She'd fallen in love with him a long, long time ago. Orion and his spaced out mentality was far too charming to not adore. So, remembering his brief mention of his clan's matriarch, Xion, she asked around and located the lairs of Daybreak Clan.
She would come with a condition, she tried to tell Xion, her head held high; she would stay and help, but she would never give up her freedom. She'd never join the clan outright! If the time come, she demanded to be free to leave, with no strings attached! Why Xion laughed, she never did find out, but was delighted to be brought to Orion.
Nuzzling the silly male once he figured out she was really there, she admitted to loving him... But still denied ever joining Daybreak. It would be a while before she gave in and allowed herself to become Orion's mate, and while she still adamantly denies being a member of the clan, she's made it clear in her actions that she's joined them once and for all.
Rosalina has since become close to Orion's young students, Alun and Ashlyn, and often takes out the other young dragons to sunbathe. She can often be found lazily chatting with Mochizuki and his sons, but her best friend in the clan, aside from her mate, is Misora. The two are often together, sharing stories about their lives before the clan and just what to find for their mate's next meal!
