Biography
The storerooms were dusty, darkened with long shadows from the sole light source, a flickering candle held in steady claws. Lucah hated it down here, the years of dust always set her allergies off. How was she meant to find one specific document amidst all this junk? Gently, she set the candle down on a stack of boxes, leaving the flickering warmth in order to try prying the dusty cover off another. By doing this, she knew she was resigning herself to hours of looking through order forms and outdated resources for the one yellowed contract she'd need.
It was only when the candle had burned down to its wick, almost extinguishing itself in the pool of its own wax, did the spiral hear... Something. The heavy footfalls, gentle scuffling, and then silence. Her coils suddenly stiffened from fear, but they relaxed again. Surely they'd just sent someone down to check on her, she must have been down for hours now, after all. She was just tired, and jumping to conclusions. She was only just beginning to reassure herself when the hissing started.
She slowly turned towards the noise.
The dragon she saw was ragged, slimy. The clothes were falling apart, covered in years of muck and dust. And the noise it made. A rattling thing that chilled her to the very bone. When it lowered it's head, she could just barely see the shadows of it's face. Or at least, the skeletal remains of what had been its face. It was only then she started to scream...

Few dragons are aware of this creatures existence, and even fewer have seen them in proper lighting. They dwell in the storage rooms beneath the main building, presumably for many years before they were discovered by the unfortunate Lucah, who had been searching for misfiled documents amidst the chaos.
A recluse by nature, they are perfectly content with staying in the dark, overflowing rooms full of the institutes detritus. Though their organizational methods are... Questionable, at best, and the only conceivable way they can still be alive is if they're stealing from the food stores, Beatrice cannot quite bring herself to evict this slimy, elusive, Sneak, so long as they do their best to keep the place semi-organized.
As such, this dragon has become the storeroom keeper, for better or for worse. Woe to those dragons who require their help to search through a century of objects cast carelessly into the cellars, for they do not wish for said items to ever leave their care.
There are rumors abound that they will often eat dragons who don't have permission to be down there, but they may be idle and baseless, meant to keep dragons, especially recent hires, from sticking their snouts where they don't belong.

Notes:
~ Non-Binary, they/them only. Gets annoyed if anyone tries to needlessly gender them.
~ Their fins are like that of a frilled lizard, puffing out with their current emotion and sometimes merely because they want to.
~ The frog is named Nibblet. No one knows if this is because he is a later snack.
~ Presumably as old, if not older, than the Institute.

Items In Storage
As this dragon keeps their watchful, obsessive gaze on the storerooms, they've become quite adept at knowing which items belong where. Everything is organized to their vision, and the item catalogue, though scrawled in horrid cockatrice scratchings, is kept lovingly up to date. These items are for use in the entire facility, and are not a representative of any dragon's personal hoards.
Records
Every bit of knowledge is important, and the disorganized, overflowing nature of all these items in the storerooms prove it. Almost nothing is deemed useless, though it is eventually tossed down there for an unfortunate dragon to rifle through while Anklebiter looms in the shadows behind them. Plenty of spare parchment and inkwells too. Please see: The catalogue book for more information about the items above.
Artifacts
Items, though deemed valuable, are mundane enough that they are stored for further study, and will not act up if left to their own devices. This does not mean these items are 'Safe', merely that any curses on them will only activate with careless handling, if they have an effect like that at all. Actively dangerous, or as of yet understood items, are kept in a storage room above ground, and are more closely guarded. Please see: Cataloged Artifacts for more information about the items above and their effects, or lack thereof.
Food Stores
The 'Just-In-Case' selection, should the institute ever be laid siege upon by malevolent entities, reanimated dragons, harsh weather. or simply for those workaholic dragons who need a snack in the middle of their three day shift. All the food here is either enchanted for longevity or naturally has a long shelf life, and is not indicative of the meals served for lunch.
