Biography
Imagine a sentient chocolate dragon stealing eggs and you got yourself a meme urban legend cx
Legends say that Cadbury, the Lair's Chocolatier, dipped an infertile egg he found into an experimental batch of mixture one fateful night. He wanted so badly to create the perfect Easter Egg that he failed to realise the thing he’d dropped in wasn't a dud. Of course, by the deities' will, the egg hatched not long after Cadbury pulled it out! What he saw was an odd looking creature, all fluffy and oddly coloured. It did not move, and Cadbury realised that he’d created a chocolate mould of a dragon. Before it could harden, he sculpted and painted the blob, shaping it into a replica of a small Ridgeback. Cadbury wrapped his creation in colourful paper and put it on the display window of his store, proud to achieve something at least. He named it Ostara, and he quickly drew in customers with its oddly lifelike manner. When Easter was barely a week away, Cadbury made a wish: that his creation could come to life and help him make the eggs for the easter hunt that was planned for the Lair’s hatchlings. The deities granted his wish, and Ostara began to move.
Ostara was raised in Thetis' creche, but since he looked so odd the other hatchlings shunned him. They called him names and said he was 'empty inside' because he was made hollow. They didn't want him to join their egg hunt even though he'd helped make them! Ostara sought solace with his ‘father’, but Cadbury was too busy running the store to listen to him. Soured by the rejection of everyone around him, Ostara left his old life and became an outsider. He grew to hate the holiday which had brought him to life, wishing that he had stayed a statue. It wasn’t fair! They shouldn’t be happy when he was so miserable! He created an alter-ego, Ostara the Egg-Snatcher, and vowed to steal the other hatchling's eggs. They wouldn’t be so happy now! The night before the hunt, in cover of darkness, took all of the eggs and ate them. He left the empty wrappers behind as a sign of retribution. His revenge, was complete. But Ostara wasn’t satisfied. The act had awakened in him a primordial craving for sweet treats and a lust for cocao beans so strong he started to have withdrawls. He needed more.
He was caught by the progens and sentenced to exile, much to the dismay of Cadbury. However, before he left, Ostara made a promise. He would come back every Easter and steal the eggs away from the ungrateful hatchlings! Juniper was smart about this, and asked if Ostara could be appeased. The Egg Snatcher considered it for a second, and said that only an offering of twelve Chocolate Fish could sate his appetite for the year. Then, Ostara disappeared into the Shrieking Wilds, never to be seen again. You see, Chocolate Fish have marshmallow in them, dear ones. Marshmallows are the purest of all sweet treats, able to calm even the stormiest of rages.
And that is why, younglings, we leave 12 Chocolate Fish at the edge of the Lair before we set out the egg hunt. Take this warning and remember it well, for if ANY of you dare to eat even one fish, Ostara the Egg-Snatcher will eat all YOUR eggs instead!

Ēostre or Ostara (Old English: Ēastre [æːɑstrə] or [eːɑstrə], Northumbrian dialect Ēastro [1], Mercian dialect and West Saxon dialect (Old English) Ēostre[2] ; Old High German: *Ôstara ) is a Germanic goddess who, by way of the Germanic month bearing her name (Northumbrian: Ēosturmōnaþ; West Saxon: Ēastermōnaþ; Old High German: Ôstarmânoth), is the namesake of the festival of Easter in some languages. Ēostre is attested solely by Bede in his 8th-century work The Reckoning of Time, where Bede states that during Ēosturmōnaþ (the equivalent of April), pagan Anglo-Saxons had held feasts in Ēostre's honour, but that this tradition had died out by his time, replaced by the Christian Paschal month, a celebration of the resurrection of Jesus. By way of linguistic reconstruction, the matter of a goddess called *Austrō in the Proto-Germanic language has been examined in detail since the foundation of Germanic philology in the 19th century by scholar Jacob Grimm and others. As the Germanic languages descend from Proto-Indo-European (PIE), historical linguists have traced the name to a Proto-Indo-European goddess of the dawn *H₂ewsṓs (→ *Ausṓs), from which descends the Common Germanic divinity from whom Ēostre and Ostara are held to descend. Additionally, scholars |
Theories connecting Ēostre with records of Germanic Easter customs, including hares and eggs, have been proposed. Particularly prior to the discovery of the matronae Austriahenae and further developments in Indo-European studies, debate has occurred among some scholars about whether or not the goddess was an invention of Bede. Ēostre and Ostara are sometimes referenced in modern popular culture and are venerated in some forms of Germanic neopaganism.
