Frost

From the start, Frost never belonged in the Shifting Expanse. She was a Coatl for one, and she ached for the smothering heat of the Ashfall Waste, a longing born of some ancient instinct; the Stormcatcher's desert could never provided such comforts, filled with bright lightning and dry heat as it was. But worse than that, she wasn't the right color. Her parents were equally pale, and reached the Shifting Expanse in just enough time to lay and incubate a single egg. But they perished not long after Frost hatched, and rumors of bad luck soared sky high after that. Her birth clan was convinced that she and her parents were a blight, and that their presence would bring foul fortune down on the desert. Their bones, some said, would never decay, and the land would be tainted for years to come. Others said that pale Coatls were likely to become ghosts once their short, sickly lives were over, and that the earth would be haunted by their feeble spirits until the end of time. Eager to avoid such a fate, Frost was cast out the moment she could fend for herself. The clan was not so cruel as to turn a child loose, but they never intended to allow her to stay.

Without a home, Frost explored Sornieth in the hopes that one would emerge. However, the superstition she was raised under was not exclusive to that clan. Many other clans refused her even a night's lodging on account of her plumage, and a number crossed their claws over their chests in a gesture to ward off evil whenever they saw her. The world did not seem to want her, and she began to despair even more with every rejection. Her limbs were tired and her heart heavy, and she did not belong.

But then came Fimbulvetr, with his guarded heart, and they became close. He found it hard to let other dragons in, just as other dragons found it hard to accept Frost, and they formed a cautious new alliance as a pair of misfits searching for some place to belong. Their travels took them to all corners of Sornieth with little success, but time saw them both begin to enjoy one another's company.

Eventually, it was Frost who ventured the idea that they should found their own clan. It would be a kind clan, she believed, one that would not turn someone away because their feathers lacked color. And it would be a clan in the Southern Icefield, where she and Fimbulvetr had just the right colors to survive.

The trouble was that Fimbulvetr's survival skills had dwindled in his time away from the Icefields, and there they almost died, eaten away by frostbite. The passing intervention of a clan living on the Icewarden himself saved their lives, connecting them both to powerpacks that kept their weakened hearts from failing altogether.

Now, wrapped in masks and gauze and silks to hide their frostbitten skin, Frost and Fimbulvetr act as the clan's resident rescue team. Unable to feel much of the cold anymore, they enter the frozen wilderness in search of dragons in danger, and use Fimbulvetr's Golem Gauntlet to contact the clan to bring them all home safe and warm. Frost loves this job, and in helping others find safety, she feels like she has finally found a proper home.
