Wowzers

"Everybody pipe down and listen up!"
The (Miniature) Clan Leader/Leader of the Defenders

Personality
Methodical/ Logical / Cold / Rigid
Wowzers is not a friendly dragon to say the least. She’s very careful as to who she lets into the clan, most of the time ignoring their backstories and looking at their skills instead. That’s because Wowzers cares more about the survivability of the clan rather than the well-being of the dragons within it. To her there’s no room for making mistakes. When clan members perform actions that ‘aren’t in the plan’, Wowzers gets angry depending on how crucial that plan was.

Outside of clan business, Wowzers is not very social. Sure she may talk to regular clanmates here or there, but it’s usually awkward as she comes off as mean or cold.

Relationships
Delphian: "I feel like I’ve known Delphian forever. She’s one of my most loyal companions, as well as one of the clan’s most valuable assets."
Laeveris: “Though we had a rough start, I’m glad we’ve been able to make amends. Laeveris has proved herself useful despite the circumstances.”
Cassus: “When I first saw him I did not doubt his intelligence nor his capabilities, however, it’s hard to work around his… Egotistical attitude.”

Wowzers does not make her history known to the regular members of the Sanctuary, but her story is well known to a close friend of hers.

As far as history knows, Wowzers has no biological parents. She was found as an abandoned egg by the clan called the Rivajas. The Rivajas used to reside close to the Wyrmwound, however, tragedy struck, forcing the clan to move away from the Wasteland's center.

When Wowzers was a month old, a fair number of the clan members contracted a disease and began showing similar symptoms to one another. Catching a disease was not uncommon, living by the Wyrmwound, but many clan members who caught this illness reported suffering from great pain leading up to their death. The doctors of the clan rushed to find a cure or at least a way to lessen the pain, but ultimately the clan opted to move away where it'd be more safe.

The Rivajas made a new settlement in the Abiding Boneyard. At this time, the disease now had a name; Ghost Scarring. It also seemed like the decision to move away was made a little too late, as a majority of the clan members were suffering from an invisible pain. In this time, those who didn't seem to be affected devoted their time to teaching the young the ways of the Wasteland. Wowzers, despite her diminutive size, showed the most potential during this time as she displayed her prowess and strength boldly.

These attributes would later on lend Wowzers the role of leading the Rivajas when a majority of its former leadership passed away. She took the role seriously, but lacked the maturity that would make her a good leader. Wowzers ruled with an iron fist, aiming to never replicate the 'mistakes' previous leaders made, doing so by instilling new, strict rules that if not followed would result in one leaving the clan. Wowzers' new policies resulted in a slow trickle of dragons leaving the clan, whether it be because they broke a rule or because they disagreed with Wowzers' view - all the while the Ghost Scarring was still a huge issue.

Wowzers tried to push the remaining doctors to research the Scarring faster, but ultimately the effort was not enough. Wowzers, despite her great efforts, watched has the Rivajas clan slowly died. Eventually, Wowzers was alone in the vacant Rivajas settlement.

Wowzers was sent into a state of depression by her failure of a leader, but continued to live on in spite of her grief. Knowing she wouldn't be safe in the Scarred Wasteland by herself, Wowzers took off to the North where she originally intended to make a new home within the Dragonhome. At the border between Plague, Earth, and Shadow, however, Wowzers stumbled into a Nocturne who also seemed to be escaping from their homeland. Although they were complete strangers, they looked after one another as they shared similar goals. Later on, their closeness would be what motivated Wowzers to start anew, founding the Sanctuary.

Trivia

• The disease that caused the downfall of the Rivajas, Ghost Scarring, gets it's name from the 'invisible pain' one would suffer when contracting it. To those who suffered from it, they say it felt like something was eating them up from the inside while their bones ached, like as if their bones were starting to become more fragile. Ghost Scarring seemed to affect those with a certain bloodline, hence why Wowzers didn't get it.
• Wowzers does not like mentioning how silly her name may sound.
