Tengiz

Tengiz ran into a bird whose beak sliced his wing, causing the absentminded dragon to plummet to earth, landing hard on the top of a large rocky hill. When he stood he was met by the bright green eyes of Valkin, who stood between him and Valkin's brood of hatchlings. He apologized profusely, checking his wing for damage. Jani was the first to notice his much more pressing worry. As he had been falling, his tail had been caught between two rocks and pinched in the middle. The parents brought Tengiz into their den and helped him over the course of months to heal his wing, but his tail was beyond repair, and for worry of rot, Valkin was forced to amputate half of Tengiz's tail. Tengiz has since stayed with the mirror dragons and Akaya, embarrassed by his half-tail. Despite this, he is the most talkative of the group and gets along very well with Akaya, he seems the ablest to understand her fin movements and interpret her emotions. He is the clan bookkeeper and when not pacing and talking he can be found sitting and usually self-consciously holding his half-tail in his front paws.
