Modra

Modra was the runt of her nest, a disappointment to her parents, left to survive on her own as the clan moved on, leaving the weak, sick, and old to fend for themselves in the Scarred Wasteland.

Her parents underestimated her, while she may have been scrawny, she was cunning, and understood that the Wasteland, like her parents, would do her no favors. She scavenged from other dragon's hunts until she grew strong enough to hunt on her own. She used her slight stature to sneak into beast clan encampments, taking tools and trinkets to hawk at the occasional night bazaars that travelling clans would create at the edges of the wasteland.

It was on her first anniversary of her hatch day when she came across a set of caravans that had surrounded a Serthis, one she recognized as a Contaminated Ambassador. The Serthis had its hands up in a defensive position, eyeing the surrounding dragons nervously. These dragons were travelers from the Arcane and Light realms, unfamiliar with the neutral beast who pushed for peace between the species, and it was then that Modra knew she had to intervene before things became nasty.

She flew to the Serthis's defense, her reputation as a valued trader well known through the bazaars at this point, helped deescalate the merchants' animosity, and she explained that this Serthis was apart of a split faction that aimed to do no harm to dragonkind. The Arcane and Light dragons dispersed with Modra's word that she would accompany this Serthis through the bazaar in the future, and left her alone with the Serthis man.

He introduced himself as Archibald, or, Archie for short as Modra would begin to call him, and true to her word, she accompanied him through his travels, venturing further outside of the wasteland than she ever dared on her own, her newfound friend quickly becoming a cherished brother.

She found herself near the Sea of A Thousand Currents when she met Iyara, a fellow traveler, who invited her to venture forth to the Wind Realm and join the clan she would eventually think of as her new family. Archie was thrilled at the chance to spread the news of peace between Serthis and dragonkind outside of the wasteland, and followed Modra without hesitation on this quest.
