Secret

Rank: Council Member - Master of Magic
Age: Adult


"Weird" is the most appropriate term to describe Secret. This strange young dragon spends most of her time exploring the forest and collecting strange and sometimes grotesque oddities. Her origin is unclear to her clan (other than the fact that she was obviously born in the Starfall Isles were they found her) and although she has chosen to call herself "Secret", she insists that it is not her real name. Secret came to her current clan after they came across her at the Starfall Isles and helped them locate an Arcane artifact. She chose to continue to hang around them afterwards.

Secret is very much a loner, and doesn't seem to mind that she doesn't have any close friends. This could very well be due to the fact that she has some very...odd hobbies. Some of these are harmless, such as collecting certain plants, classifying them and testing their properties. Others include dissecting dead animals she finds, collecting and putting together skeletons, and performing arcane experiments. Many find her curiosity of the natural world rather macabre and sometimes disturbing. Personally, she finds such things fascinating. But whether or not they agree with her methods, all can agree that it has given her an unparalleled knowledge of anatomy, biology and her true passion, astronomy.

While Secret doesn't have trouble talking to anyone in her clan - asking questions they'd rather not ponder and confusing them with weird quips - she's usually shy around anyone she doesn't know. Secret is also something of an oracle, occasionally have prophetic visions, though it is a rare occurrence.

She is the first Arcane dragon to come to her clan, and as such represents that element. She is also master of magic, keeping a close eye on the experiments members of the clan perform and making sure they don't go too far.

Secret's advice on the council is often...unorthodox and it takes some convincing for others to follow. Surprisingly, she is more often right than not.

((In answer to a question thatjaeger asked me about Secret in the Ask a Dragon thread))

"Ah, well, I suppose there are few dragons that truly enjoy politics. I would rather take the time spent in long council meetings and spend it charting the stars, playing with experimenting with explosive chemicals, or dissecting various insects. Interesting things, you know, rather than discussing were the clan should forage next or such tedious matters.

But being a member of the council has it's perks, and I do love being head of the science end of business here. For example I can order the underlings to do the more tedious calculations for me, or make them scrape off the entrails from my various implements. And I do love setting up meetings to discuss our recent discoveries with my colleagues, and being able to choose what areas we should focus more on. In the end, I am quite happy in my current position."
