Found at the very depths of the trenches, the Clan of the Shifting Tides was surprised to find an actual hatchling hidden among the immense whirlpools. It was hard to tell there was a dragon at all with her camouflaged markings. How she got there, where she came from, nobody could discern her mysterious happenstance. Perhaps the strangest thing was that she didn't seem to be distressed by the watery vortexes around her and simply floated in place.

Octesian beckoned to the hatchling but she didn't move. Him and the others tried to approach, but the whirlpool columns surrounding her were too strong. There wasn't much to do, so they just left and headed back to tell the others of the strange hatchling they found.

Unbeknownst to them, the hatchling followed the explorers back to the clan. This surprised them, but they weren't sure where the hatchling belonged so Leela invited her to stay. The hatchling nodded, and seemed to understand language, but didn't speak. They asked her name, and she still didn't respond, so they started calling her Charybdis.

Ever since then, she has remained as an enigma to the clan. She spends time alone, or observing other dragons, and often prefers to be in the dark. Although she gets invited to join in activities with the others, she usually doesn't, and to this day hasn't spoken aloud to anyone's knowledge. She is the clan's cryptid resident.
