Biography
Stratospher hatched last of his litter as the only fae and never felt attached to his pearlcatcher sisters. Instead he felt far closer, yet more distant, towards glowing clouds that appeared to the sky some time after the sunset. Clan’s hatchling-sitter Kaamos, who took care of the three dragons as their parents didn’t care, was worried about his lack of interest towards other dragons and gave Stratospher a lot of attention because of that. Stratospher though didn’t care about his company and spent his time dreaming about flying among the clouds he felt so attached to. Soon after leaving the hatchery Stratospher was targeted by few dragons who tried to pressure him to do work for them. As a loner who didn’t like spending time in public he was often out of clan’s supervisors’ sight and was an ideal target for Skye and Fea who as faes too were able to reach his hides easily. Stratospher had very little knowledge and interest to actually understand what they asked him to do and usually ignored them which lead them to mock him which he didn’t understand either. Later Stratospher was ordered to participate in clan’s observatory project and received conflicting orders from left and right. He wasn’t very good at understanding them whether they came from another fae or totally different species and was very stressed not knowing what he was supposed to do and how that was supposed to be done. To calm himself down Stratospher sneaked to the telescope and used it to watch nebulae. They didn’t feel the same as the night clouds but they were close enough to act as replacements when the clouds were not visible. That was not unnoticed by his clan mates and they started to mock Stratospher for being in love with clouds. That started during the observatory project and continued long after it ended but Stratospher didn’t try to fight back. He didn’t like being mocked but wasn’t sure if it counted as bullying and along with having been always silent he didn’t want to be mocked for ”being able to talk” too so he remained silent and tried to ignore them. That continued for weeks and even though most of the most vocal dragons had left the clan Fea and Skye still remained. The older faes tried to make him do work for them but Stratospher couldn’t understand why they asked him and how his love for night clouds had anything to do with that. One night they were once again asking him to do something and ended up arguing like usual when a younger fae came to told them to stop. Stratospher had already sneaked out of the scene when that happened but he was still able to hear their conversation. After it ended the younger fae, Trooper, came to ask if he was alright. Stratospher told he was and Trooper left him alone. After that Trooper often came to drive away other dragons that came to mock Stratospher and after they started to avoid him he came to watch clouds with Stratospher. Stratospher was a bit confused by that and one night asked Trooper why he spent time with him to which Trooper answered that they were brothers. He also explained how no one in the clan wanted to interact with him and feeling lonely he came to his brother who was also lonely looking. Stratospher didn’t feel himself lonely and at first was a bit annoyed by his younger brother but at the same time was happy to have someone who kept his bullies away. Nearing the end of the year the clan was asked to move by the Observatory and Stratospher was forced to participate. As a fae he was considered too weak to carry stuff and had to pack it with other faes instead. The work was very annoying as Fea and Skye were arguing all the time and Trooper had to make them apologize. While Stratospher observed their argument he realized why no one liked Trooper: he was naive and forced others to forget their arguments without knowing what had caused it in a first place. In the new clan Stratospher observed how Trooper tried to figure out why he was always left alone before after few nights he decided to come talk with his brother. Stratospher told what he had noticed and Trooper was a bit shocked by that. Stratospher not being very social dragon couldn’t give his brother tips on how to improve and sad Trooper left him. After that Stratospher didn’t see his brother for few nights and started to worry about him till he spotted Trooper solving an argument with someone who seemed to help him. After the situation was solved Trooper noticed Stratospher watching and showed a crest sign that told he was improving and thanked Stratospher for that. After that Trooper started to gain some recognition in the clan and spent less time with Stratospher who continued watching clouds dreaming about flying among them one night. Trooper joined him every now and then to keep him company and listening his dreams. 
Trooper had been working with Atlantic to build a defense system for the clan and had not spent that much time with Stratospher because of that. Stratospher knew they were close and though he wanted to spend time with his brother he didn't want to bother them. He also didn't demand company and was totally fine with being alone. One evening Stratospher was coming back from watching night clouds like he did every evening when his nervous clan mates caught his eye. Curious he came to see what was going on and found Mustamalva lying dead on the ground. While he was looking at the body he heard someone shouting about another body and felt compassion towards Trooper after realizing that one was Atlantic. Stratospher observed as the clan tried to figure out who was behind all of this and noticed Trooper with his papers looking confused. Stratospher decided to go support his brother and sat next to him silent. Trooper asked what had happened and after having collected enough courage Stratospher told that Atlantic had died. Trooper was shocked by that and started to fly towards the healing offices where the bodies were being kept. Stratospher felt bad telling the news to his brother and followed him finding him in the room holding Atlantic's cold hand. Trooper didn't want to leave his friend, and clan's healer and Stratospher's sister Kanerva asked if he could stay there to support him. Stratospher didn't quite know how to support his brother and focused to keep his brother fed and informed him about how close the clan was to find the guilty. Eventually the clan found out that the one behind the deaths was Nobu and Startospher became scared when he felt anger blazing inside his brother. The clan soon held a trial against Nobu and throughout it Stratospher tried to calm his brother down. That though didn't work that well as his voice refused to rise against usually calm Trooper's angry voice demanding death to the poisoner along with tens of other voices. Eventually the trial was cut short and everybody left who angry who scared. Trooper was very angry when he left and Stratospher not liking that decided to do something and realized Sun setting. He rushed in front of his brother and asked him to go watch night clouds and when he said he was not really in the mood right now Stratospher grabbed Trooper's hand and pulled him with him. Trooper didn't try to run when Stratospher let him go and Stratospher was happy to notice his brother starting to calm down. The clouds were very pretty that night and they almost rivaled stars in beauty. Stratospher was mesmerized by them and totally ignored noises coming from the lair. He kept staring the clouds when he noticed two shooting stars crossing the sky. He kept staring their trail long before Trooper asked if they should return the lair it having become very silent. They returned there not too soon to see others drag Nobu's body into the lair. After seeing that Stratospher turned to see what Trooper thought about the sight but he didn't reveal anything. After that Stratospher stayed on Trooper's side when the bodies were burned and after that the two went to watch stars. Thought the night sky was beautiful Stratospher felt it wasn't the same as last time. Wanting to see the sky like that once again he started to think where and when he could find such a sight.
Things carried on and Stratospher kept watching night clouds whenever possible occasionally dragging Trooper with him. He had started to work again after Atlantic's death and Stratospher was a bit annoyed by how much he seemed to work. He didn't want him to overwork himself and made sure to give him something else to do if the sky was clear enough. Stratospher still missed the great light show from when the poisoning incident had happened and after missing the beautiful southern lights he decided to visit a prophet to tell him when the next show would be. Stratospher had never interacted with Itameri before and found him a bit scary and it didn't get better when the pearlcatcher was having his vision. That was all well though as he was able to tell a magical lightning storm was going to happen on worse side of the midnight on a terrain further from the lair. That made Stratospher excited and he rushed to tell Trooper begging him to come with him. Fen walked by with his familiar and told he was going to the same place with Malvadust about the same time and suggested they'd go together. Stratospher became excited realizing Malvadust could carry him and his brother and plead Trooper to come hugging him when he said yes. They left at the sunset and eventually reached the place where to show was supposed to take place. They arrived early and Stratospher tried to name more constellations than Trooper while Fen and Malvadust did their thing. Eventually the sky was alight by beautiful pinkish purple lightning clouds and Stratospher was mesmerized. He barely heard the loud scream that sliced the air until Trooper asked his attention. He saw a weird dragon with no arms in the lightning cloud firing a lightning at them. Fear hit Stratospher as Trooper pulled him on Malvadust's back and they started running Stratospher's eyes frozen to the thing as its huge claws hit the place the tundra had been just a moment ago. It soon pulled its claws out and flew after them its fierce gaze fixed to them Stratospher feeling like its eyes alone could swallow him. He had not payed attention to where they were going nor had he been holding on and fell off as the tundra jumped to glide. On the ground the beast rushed towards him Stratospher staring at it being frozen with fear. The thing prepared to pierce him with its claws when he felt someone hopping on taking the hit in his stead. Stratospher was shocked when he realized Trooper had taken the hit bleeding badly. He asked Stratospher to fly and being confused by what was happening he took flight hearing the thing screaming behind him. On Malvadust Fen urged Stratospher to get to them and he reached in time to see the thing shoot Trooper down with a lightning. He was not sure who screamed loudest but he knew for sure that his power vanished and he fell against Fen. They started running towards the lair Stratospher feeling like having passed out hearing Fen somewhere far away. They eventually stopped moving and Stratospher was not sure if they had reached the lair or had the thing caught them. He though thought having heard Fen talk to him followed by Kanerva. He later woke up in the healing offices Kanerva being there to ask how he was feeling. Stratospher didn't hear the question and asked where Trooper was. Kanerva said he was alive but spoke quietly and Stratospher feared she didn't want to say Trooper had died. She asked him to calm down and offered to take him to see their brother and Stratospher was already holding on to her mane before she could finish. She took him to the room where Trooper lied motionless having been wrapped with so many wraps he looked like a mummy. He breathed slowly and Kanerva explained he was alive but in critical state. Startospher barely heard his sister gliding next to his bother holding his arm but avoided moving it. He felt like to be blamed for Trooper's current state: it was he who asked him to go there, it was he who had fallen. Malvadust seemed to notice that and came to say it was not his fault as no one knew that was going to happen. Stratospher ignored his words. Stratospher spent his time with Trooper begging him to stay alive sleeping next to him when possible. He was reluctant to leave him when the healers changed the wraps and had Milla take care of him when that or a bigger operation was going on. She took him to see night clouds and listened his worries about Trooper and blames he had for himself. She made him realize that by blaming himself he downplayed Trooper's dedication to protect him. Startospher understood that Trooper was very dedicated to keep him safe and started to feel bad for not being able to take care of himself. After Kanerva decided to turn herself into a guardian Startospher started to think about breed change as well feeling like being too small to fly high where he wanted, and to not get crushed by bigger beings. After thinking about it for some time he asked Milla if she could help him to turn into a skydancer. Milla asked Stratospher to not do hasty decisions but Stratospher had done thinking. Besides, he could always turn back if he felt like that. That seemed to be enough reasoning to Milla and she cast the spell. The new body with new sense was hard to get used to but Afrodite helped him with that. Practicing to take care of his new feathers he had not visited Trooper in some time and got scared out of his feathers when Azul came to remind him about him. Stratospher rushed to the healing offices not being used to run so fast and upon arriving heard Kanerva talking with Trooper. He stepped in and saw his brother still motionless but his eyes were open and they fixed on Stratospher upon noticing him. Stratospher hoped he didn't look too different and came closer explaining what he had done while he had been out. Upon finishing he noticed Trooper's crests tried to move to sign happiness but he was still tied too tightly for them to reach right positions. After that Trooper started to get better fast Stratospher helping him and taking him out as he was still too weak to walk himself. Eventually he recovered enough to leave the offices fully and they promised to meet in the place they often watched the night clouds. The Sun was setting and Stratospher waited his brother to appear but he was nowhere to be seen. Stratospher started to get worried when a deep voice greeted him. He turned around to be face to face with a guardian. He explained that Stratospher could not prevent him from protecting him by changing breed and Stratospher realized that was Trooper. He told he had heard him blaming him for what had happened and had changed his breed so he had a reason to act as his shield. Stratospher was happy to have his brother in good shape again and they admired the clouds coloring the sky together as guardian and his charge.
Life in the lair was peaceful though Trooper was still very busy he having barely any time to watch clouds with Stratospher. He didn't mind that and because of the new breed he seemed to have need to check his older brother more often than when they had both been faes. Still, Stratosphere was worried Trooper might overwork himself and occasionally forced him to leave his work if he felt like he had done enough of it for time being. Summer, and midwinter, were usually the worse times to try watch night clouds. However, after the nature holiday a portal was opened somewhere in the arcane domain its radiation making clouds look otherworldly throughout the year and night. Stratosphere was excited and barely noticed when clan's familiars turned hostile he, for the first time, being happy that he was never allowed to have one. Things though went worse from there Silence attacking a plague clan the threat of the war killing all the free time that Trooper had. Before being completely consumed by work he told Stratosphere to not trust the plague dragons that were arriving to study the situation. After that Stratospher didn't interact with Trooper for weeks, he barely even saw his brother, and just watched clouds or practiced flying to maybe some night fly among the clouds. During the annual House Cup Trooper had a little bit of free time to check Stratospher though not enough to relax and Stratospher was getting worried that he could collapse due to all the work he did. He wanted to help but he had no experience and the situation was a bit too volatile to have a rookie step to help more experienced ones. One evening Stratospher was preparing to go see clouds once the Sun was to set when an earthquake scared him and once it was over he noticed the clan having gotten huge walls made out earth and trees. For Stratospher that was very bad the trees blocking the sky as well as the way out he trying to reach them but being too weak of a flier to fly straight up and could not reach them. The clan was trapped to be sacrificed to the Shade in few days and scared the clan split into about three factions Trooper moving between them while Stratospher followed him having nothing else to do. The summoning was supposed to start when the Sun was to be eclipsed and Stratospher was with Trooper waiting it to happen. When the Sun was eaten an armless dragon appeared and though not the same that had attacked them he was still scared. Unlike the first one who had shot lighting and screamed this one took control over everyone in the lair forcing them to bow. Stratospher was panicking and begged the thing to let go of him when it made him and Trooper hit each other before it was attacked by the lightning wyvern. Stratospher was even more scared and after Trooper checked his injuries they being nothing major he escorted him to his nest and asked him to hide there until the situation was to be calmed. Stratospher didn't need to be asked twice and he stayed in there until an unfamiliar wind dragon came to ask if he was alright. He was and with the situation being over Stratospher went to check Trooper he being tasked to guard the leaders they being hurt way more than what Trooper had been. With he in the healing offices Stratospher stayed there helping Kanerva having died dropping clan's local healers from two to one. Stratospher avoided to think about the loss two much. After the clan started to recover Trooper took few nights off to rest and life returned normal the brothers continuing to look for clouds when Trooper had time.

  Name origin: Maybe because his colors are twilight and pink Finlandia shortened his name from "polar stratospheric cloud". Maybe he looked a bit like a night cloud.

Traits
Stratospher is an arcane skydancer with bluish iridescent body and large metallic yet soft wings, feathers and fur that are same shade as his eyes. He has brownish grey spines on his back and on the sides of his neck. Having originally been a fae Stratospher's head feathers are rather large and his mane is rather long on his neck but elsewhere his hairs are rather short barely visible most of the time. His snout and horns are also rounder and shorter as are his legs, his pale blue forejewel is small yet very shiny and his antennas are short staying often close to his face. He also has very fae-like eyes being very round and big-looking without actually being that large. Stratospher isn’t very good at choosing choices and he isn't quite sure what he wants to wear. He though has a dream of flying among night clouds and to not freeze he wears some warm clothes, mostly blue silky shirt and pants, bluish grey tail warmer as well as blue scarf and a turban to cover his ears. In case he ends up flying to the night sky he has a blue satchel, gloves and boots on which he wears winged sandals believing they make him a better flier. He also has purple artificial wings under his real ones they helping him to balance his flight due to how large his actual wings are. They are powered by the blue vest he is wearing on his silky shirt. Stratospher was a loner fae and had not adapted to interact with other species speaking mainly with his crests because of that. Loosing the crests with breed change was hard for him even though he didn't speak with others much. His voice remains very monotone and disinterested with a hint off bass and Stratospher himself isn’t very good at picking tones making him a difficult dragon to communicate with. He though understand crest signals almost perfectly and may try move his feathers to imitate them. His accent sounds a bit Norwegian.
Stratospher isn’t very good with practical stuff and usually needs someone to hold his hand to be able to do something. He also isn’t very active dragon usually preferring to dream instead of taking action to make his dreams true. He though occasionally has moments when he tries to do something but he isn’t very good at planning and his plans tend to undo themselves or someone prevents him from doing them. They aren’t anything major, rarely causing any harm to anyone, and are usually forgotten as soon as they happen by Stratospher himself. His memory isn’t bad though he has habit of not remembering moments when he was excited or stressed. Stratospher is a loner dragon who is rarely seen with other dragons. He doesn’t like to work in groups and may become stressed if there are too many dragons telling him what to do at the same time. Still, he rarely panics and is overall very calm dragon though he rarely shows any emotion and he is often described to be emotionally poor. Most of the time he spends his time somewhere high watching night clouds when they are visible and dreaming about flying among them when they are not. He seems to be happiest when he is doing that. Otherwise he tends to be very indifferent about everything. Stratospher is among very few dragons in the clan who would like to have a familiar but is not allowed to have one. He isn’t cruel or anything and would probably be liked by whoever ended up being his partner but most of the clan consider it safer when he doesn’t have one. Beastclan member could try to use him while less sentient one could try to take him to the sky to where he so badly wants and he could freeze if he doesn’t fall before that.
Stratospher doesn’t really shine with his skill. He can’t use magic other than draw pink lines with his claws. They don’t do anything other than look nice and fade very fast. Stratospher, however, doesn’t really care about magic and is very happy to be able to draw lines between clouds and pretend he is flying there. Upon changing his breed he obtained the ability of the energy reading, the signature ability of skydancers, but its power is weak and he doesn't really know how to use it nor does he really care about it. Though wanting to fly among night clouds it may come as a surprise that Stratospher isn’t a very good flier. He can fly without problems but he gets tired very fast. After breed change, however, he no longer needs to be carries and he has made some slow progress in learning to use his stronger wings. |
