Metangel

History:
There was blood, enough to flood rivers. It got in Metangel's fur. It tangled her. It clogged her. It drowned her. The only comfort was her mother, and her lullaby. She sang it to her when the war got rough, as it often did.
Soon, she was alone. Her mother had stashed her in a rabbit's hole before running off to fight with the warriors. She never came back for her. Metangel crawled out of her hole that night, running away, the silence pressing down on her.
She knew one place she could go, one place where war was not common, and dragons were generally warm and accepting: the Sunbeam Ruins. As she was currently within the Wind territories, it would take her awhile to get to her destination. She met the challenge with dogged perseverance, hiking through the world, struggling.
Eventually, she made it. Her heart was weary from the journey and her mind was weary from the memories, but she was finally in her new home.
When she arrived, a shifty looking dragon asked her if she could be the subject of one of his experiments. He told her that she would be very powerful if it was successful, but he couldn't promise anything. Warily, she agreed.
The procedure went exceptionally well. She was very powerful. The only thing that backfired was that it made her look a little horrible. It scarred up her face, and broke her right wing, which the dragon who preformed the procedure fixed up with a brace for life.
She was eventually accepted into a clan that went by the name of Chronomaly. They made her medical officer on a team sent onto battlefields, though she normally protects her fellow medics rather than assisting the patient.

Personality:
Metangel is a sweet dragon. She loves all, and sometimes that comes back to bite her. She is not afraid to let someone into her warm, kind embrace. But this does not mean she will be soft towards you if you are her enemy on the battlefield. She is not afraid to maul a dragon in her path if she believes that she or he means harm to those around her.
Though she is vicious on the battlefield, back at home, she can let in the wrong dragons. Her heart is vulnerable, to say the least, and it hurts her the most when she finds out a dragon was trying to take advantage of her. It tears her to pieces, and take months to recover from something like that.
She is stalwart in her companionship. If you befriend her, she will defend you and carry you to the ends of the Earth. She shields her companions on the battlefield with her own wings, and comes home with more dings and scratches than any of the soldiers do. She puts others' needs before her own, and that can sometimes lead her into difficult situations.
Metangel can be blind to what is happening around her. She sometimes flat-out refuses to see someone who she believed to be a friend as a backstabber. This behavior has led to horrible times, and many bitter tears.


History Snippet:
Metangel's mother kissed her, and turned away. She cried out, reaching for the older dragon. "Mama, don't go."
She turned back to see her child, eyes brimming with tears, and let out a sad breath. "My child," she murmured, touching her forehead to her daughter's. "You are my sun, and if you are snuffed out, there will be no light in my world. Or your father's, no matter how well he hides it. We both love you, and you are going to be safe. If you hear anyone coming, stay quiet." With that, she turned and charged into the cacophony of battle. Metangel's claws reached into the night one more time, before retreating back into her hole. As screeches and howls blended into silence, tears soaked the ground.

Hush now,

Don't cry,

Sleep, child,
Hmmhmm,
Good night.
