( Left for the Dogs exalt rescue )

Aliases/Nicknames: Quetz
Age: ??

Quetzal is usually found curled nearby kitchens bustling with warmth and life, or in her warm den busy at work over her next embroidery project, usually a quilt of some sort or other. Despite her tendency to gravitate towards activity, it's far less of an actual desire to be involved in ongoing festivities, than a pathological need tp know that she's not alone. Any dragon curious or masochistic enough to try to engage in conversation with her is as likely to be indulged as receive a quick yet savage tongue lashing.

Her moods are as mercurial as the winter storms, languid one moment, bursting with vim and vigor the next. How much of her current temperament was shaped by her life and death experience in the snowy mountains, no dragon could say.

As a young traveller, she was caught in an avalanche and buried under for four days. nurtured back to health by a skilled wandering Fire healer. She recovered, and he departed, leaving Quetzal with a plain yet warm patchwork quilt to remember him by. She spent many a sleepless night plagued by shivers and night terrors. To find a way of keeping herself occupied, she took to embroidery. Despite several rough starts and stops, she has made up for her lack of background knowledge and talent with sheer stubborn persistence.

Before refining her craft. Quetzal sold her rough creations through merchant wholesalers. Now that she has perfected her skills, she has set up her own independent shop and earned a good reputation through her warm and elaborately woven pieces, majority of them quilts or coverings to keep dragons of all assorted breeds warm.

Many dragons would accuse her of being selfish and somewhat cold, and they would not be wrong. However, she is not without her sympathies, if only that she is far more choosy over who she wants to extend said pity to.

Quetz has a soft spot for Fire dragons, especially those from a healing background, as one was responsible for preserving her life.

Her magic is limited to the telekinetic abilities shared by dragons of all the elements. Her ice powers seem to have been severely stunted through her near permanent burial in the snowy mountains. Magic or no, she is still well capable of defending herself with tooth and claw, if need be.
