Henry

Real wildclaw, not an automaton. Emma is his "sister" and he is her "brother" She likes dressing him, so he tries to hold really still for her and sometimes deliberately wears a tacky outfit so she can dress him and he can feel he is making his "sister" happy. He gets impatient easily. He thinks his "sister" is atypical for a wildclaw, but it doesnt bother him. He also acts as Stratus's Helper. Not that he does much more than mope about and cause problems for the clan.

Short story about Henry:

When i asked for a sister, i didnt mean it as a joke, but i didnt expect it to be fulfilled either.

I was meeting at a summit of flights when i met him. He had a few bots and looked like he had made them. He was definitely from the lightning flight. With that in mind, i probably shouldnt have told him. A few months later, i visited the clan he was working for, and he was there, working at something. He beckoned me to stay, but told me his lab was off-limits for social purposes. One of his products a bogsneak who "cant seem to keep her own mouth shut", or at least thats what she said before she started to converse with me. She was fun to talk with, but stratus seemed to view her as his daughter, even though she was a bot.

That was when i started to question what he was doing in his lab. I burst in one day to see him working on...yet another dragon-bot. This tie, a pearlcatcher Male who looked like he was trying to practice magic. Since when does a bot try to practie magic? when his maker thinks that bots can have a soul. Stratus promptly pushed me out and told me to come back in a year. Im getting frustrated at him.

I am now forced to spend several hours a day in a rather large room that looks like an armory. I have been practicing with the various items i found in there. One of them, which brightblade calls a "hybrid EM gun" is rather bulky, but powerful. He showed me how to use it and other dragons made some practice projectiles for it so i could spend time using it. I got hit with one of the projectiles once. They are engineered to not cause damage, so i didnt get wounded, but the electrical shock it created caused most of my body to be sore for a few weeks. The clan is increasingly silent with me now. I demand to know what stratus is doing.

Its been two years of partial captivity and I have been stuck in "the armory" for four days straight now, the longest i have ever been trapped in there. I just got told that Stratus wants to see me. The other dragons seem to not be holding secrets from me anymore. I would like to know what has changed around the clan. As i approached the closed door to Stratus's lab, i heard a soothing mechanical sound that would occur frequently. I opened the door to find a wildclaw dressing Stratus. She definitely makes me think "she" when i look at her. She is just...i didnt think Stratus was taking me seriously when i said i wanted a sister. I didnt think he would actually try and make one. The wildclaw walked up to me and i gave her a hug. She grabbed me and tried to dress me. That was weird...until stratus told me about her and gave her improvement chart. he had been building her for almost two and a half years since I told him. As long as i fix her whenever something falls out in her gerbox, Emma will stay my sister, wether she tries to dress me or not.
