Vyra

My eyes widened as the hatchling strolled into the main clearing of our clan. He had a mischievous twinkle in his eye, and he strode with grace - well, most of the time. He was constantly tripping from the jewelry that was literally dripping from his scales. The dragon was covered from head to toe of eye-catching sun rocks. The ground beneath him sparkled with golden beams.

A couple dragons whistled, others just stared in awe. The two guards escorting the dragon into the clan looked bedazzled. Beside me, a hatchling named Shimmer chuckled.

"Look at how clumsy that nightmare of a giant suncatcher is!" Shimmer liked to make fun of everyone younger or prettier than her.

"Hey Shimmer, would you rather be congratulating our new arrival on joining the clan or making smart remarks?" I replied.

Shimmer hissed and stalked towards the hatchling, holding her rune cover head high and twisting her pearl between her back talons.

I was only a day old, yet I knew this dragon was about to change the course of my life...


I carefully kneaded my claw in and out of the furred body. I looked up, watching Sunburst circle his opponent, growling. I accidentally cut my prey in half as the other dragon slammed into Sunburst, leaping onto his back. The dragon sunk his teeth into Sunburst's neck, and he let out an anguished cry.

"HOW DARE YOU?!" Sunburst screamed. As the other dragon jumped off of him, his face turned bright tomato red. His eyes grew wide and his mouth fell open, and then he kicked the dust and flew. Me and the other dragons watching all began to chuckle, and then laugh hysterically.

Sunburst had one flaw in his normally perfect life. He was a sore loser.

A couple hours later I flew up to Sunburst's nest. He was sitting there, just sobbing. A pool of salty water lay around him. I gently splashed him with a puddle, and he smiled.

"Why are you so sad?" I asked.

"I just want to see my family, and go home, and be able to beat another dragon in battle, and and and... "

"Shhhh...." I said and slowly curled my tail around his. "It's okay."

He pulled away and shrank into the corner, his glistening eyes appearing almost like liquid gold to me.

I realized then that something inside me longed for him. Longed to touch those jewel-encrusted scales and twine his golden tail around my black one. I loved him. And that was all that mattered.

All of the credit goes to the talented ArcaneShadows - really, she deserves all of the praise. All of it.

Home Clan: k9kitsune’s (lore clanname unknown, username used as placeholder).
Current Clan: Auric.

Personality: Calm, determined, sarcastic, sharp of wit, no-nonsense, and proud. Somewhat stand-offish towards most, but is friendly towards those she knows and cares about. Her humour is dry and sarcastic, and occasionally rather morbid. She does not take any flak from anyone, and gives as good as she gets.
Voice: Almost a contralto, but her shrieks are as high as any other wildclaw’s. Her voice is normally clear, and carries a good distance, but if she’s been yelling or shrieking a lot lately, then it may be slightly rough or strained.
Likes: Sunburst, exercise, training, exploring, nature watching, forests.
Dislikes: Stupidity, thoughtlessness, overeager dragons, Shimmer, Murphy’s Law.
Friends: Sunburst, Aoibhneas, Thiadith, Ipala, Deiene, Shadefinder, Aquaris, Rain.
Enemies: Shimmer (though it’s more of a strong distaste than anything, Vyra does hold a grudge), and is suspicious about Almandine.

Apparel: All of her ruby jewelry are gifts from Sunburst. Her bone crown was also a gift from him, the first in fact. She wears it all as signs of his affection, though she takes off all but a necklace and the bone crown when on patrols, training, or expecting a fight.

Gijinka Appearance: 5’06’’ tall with a muscular, but attractive body. Black skin with darker, freckle-like markings along her spine that represent her spines gene, along with birthmarks along her shoulders, sides, and hips that represent her vipera gene. Her shoulder-length, wavy hair is a shiny red with thin stripes of lavender.

She usually just wears a black shirt with black jeans, though will wear black hardened leather when expecting a fight. Vyra always wears black or brown combat boots in this form, and her apparel shifts to accommodate this humanoid form.

Other: Vyra has a secret crush on Sunburst, which has developed into genuine love over time. She hasn’t brought this up to him, however, well-aware of his empathic traits and feeling that he’d have mentioned it if he returned the feelings.

Willing to roleplay? Yes.
