Atmosphere

Backstory: Atmosphere had clung to the hope that deep down her mother, Piper, loved her. Although, when Piper sold Atmosphere at the auction house, Atmosphere realized she had spent all of her time holding onto a fool’s hope. To make matters worse, Atmosphere had gotten separated from her twin brother, Altitude. Altitude had been the only dragon in the whole world that actually cared for Atmosphere. She couldn’t lose him. Atmosphere fought against her buyers and kept trying to communicate telepathically to her brother. However, it wasn’t long before Altitude was out of range and Atmosphere could no longer hear his internal voice. Atmosphere’s buyers took the young coatl dragon to their clan in the Shattered Plains. Atmosphere hated her buyer’s clan, known to many as the Breakneck Clan. Many of the dragons their were self-centered and savage. Atmosphere tried to fly away from the Breakneck Clan three times. After the final attempt to escape, the members of the Breakneck Clan unanimously agreed to pluck the feathers from Atmosphere’s wings and leave her tied to a post under the desert sun for one whole day. To members of the Breakneck Clan, this kind of a punishment was a joke to them. They laughed as Atmosphere cried out in pain and fought against the rope they tied around her body. However, the clan underestimated Atmosphere’s will to survive. After hours of struggling against her bondages under the burning sun, Atmosphere slipped out from under her ropes. Once the coatl dragon’s feet hit the road, she took off. Atmosphere ran until the Breakneck Clan disappeared behind the horizon. For some time, Atmosphere wandered through the Shattered Plains. In the haze of exhaustion, Atmosphere walked towards the Pillar of the World and eventually collapsed before the pillar. Fortunately, there was a harpy, by the name of Irina, circling in the area. The harpy noticed Atmosphere lying on the ground, half-dead. Now, Irina didn’t think Atmosphere was a dragon because the coatl dragon’s wings had been ripped out. The harpy thought Atmosphere was a rare lizard and decided to keep her as a pet. Although as time passed, Atmosphere became Irina’s best friend. The rest of Irina’s beastclan grew very fond of Atmosphere as well. The harpies taught Atmosphere how to fight and in turn, Atmosphere helped them hunt. However, as Atmosphere got bigger and her wings grew back, the beastclan began to realize Atmosphere was a dragon. The beastclan chose to put their hatred of dragons aside for Atmosphere, who had become one of their own. The harpies also knew they would need Atmosphere’s help defending their home. For some time, the harpies had competed for territory with the Breakneck Clan. In the dead of night, the Breakneck Clan launched an attack on the harpies. The barbaric dragons mashed countless harpy eggs and killed even more warrior harpies. Atmosphere fought off many of the Breakneck Clan’s members. She killed the dragons that had tied her to a stake and plucked her feathers many moons ago. Although, the coatl dragon and the harpies were vastly outnumbered. Atmosphere sent a telepathic message for help to her brother without realizing. By some miracle, Altitude received Atmosphere’s message. Once Altitude received the message, he rallied the Aquafire Clan to come the harpies’s aid. With the help of the Aquafire Clan, Atmosphere and the harpies drove the Breakneck Clan out of their territory. At long last, Altitude and Atmosphere were reunited. After a lot of thought, Atmosphere decided she wanted to return to the Tsunami Flats with Altitude. Irina decided she wanted to come along too and help other beastclans live in harmony with dragons. Of course, Atmosphere annually visits her old home beneath the Pillar of the World.

Personality: Atmosphere is very kind and friendly. She is also very energetic and optimistic. Unlike most of her kind, Atmosphere isn’t agreeable and stands firm with her personal beliefs. Atmosphere speaks fluent draconic, but has an accent with the hint of the native tongue of both harpies and coatl dragons.
