Dove

Overview

Female
She/her/hers

Named because she was "lovely as a dove", she is proud of both her appearance and knowledge. A member of the coliseum party and familiar wrangler, her skills come in handy when dealing with strange wildlife.

She was originally hired temporarily just for this purpose, but found that she liked the company and became a permanent clan mate.

Physical Attributes

A relatively small, round dragon with a bright smile. She likes to think that she has a healthy amount of vanity and encourages others to be the same way. She means well, but it can grate on the nerves of less out going dragons.

Social

She is liked by most everyone, but is closest to her fellow party member, Vis, and Song. She likes Au just fine, but finds her kind of scary ("she could step on me if she wanted"). The the slightest hint of a bad mood would cause her to walk on eggshells around the clan leader. Vis is often made to relay messages from Dove to her, much to the ridgeback's annoyance.

Though named after a romantic symbol, she is ironically aromantic and asexual. While she is interested in having children ("my genes are too pretty to waste"), she doesn't care for the concept of mates, nor does she understand why others do. That's not to say that she'd be apathetic to the fathers. She wouldn't have children with someone that she doesn't consider a friend. Romance just holds no appeal.

Clan members are made to understand that they are not to badger her about her love life (or rather lack of one), less they want an earful from Au or Vis.

She finds animals fascinating and is always looking to expand her knowledge and handling skills. Highly competitive when it comes to other "animal people" and gets moody when she feels bested.

Her favorite familiar is a amaranth moth. Partly because it was the first one to befriend the clan, partly because it matches her bandana. It is often seen with her.

Lair

She used her knowledge of landscapes to help set up a more permanent settlement.

As snappers don't sleep and are naturally nomadic, she claims no 'space' for herself, 'less the familiar keeping area counts as her space. This is where she will most likely be found outside the coliseum. She sometimes wanders outside the clan's territory when she starts feeling restricted.

Tactics

Though small, she is solidly built and has a powerful, crushing bite. She likes to dive bomb enemies, repeatedly hitting the same area to cause more damage.
