Ryou

Born a Tundra, Ryou was always a quiet, but sweet dragon. As one of the progenitors of this particular lair, he and his would-be mate Pestilence serve as the parental figures of some of the young ones whose parents were from different homes. It suits Ryou.

Despite his being a Tundra, Ryou has a an affinity for fighting. His strong will compels him to eschew the usual pacifism at times, and by the will of his Lairkeeper he has battled and won numerous times. Because he is mostly of a pacifistic nature, and due to a reason to be stated later, Ryou tends to be felled first. He prides himself on a higher defense, but nonetheless his attacks, when given purchase of Breath, should not be discounted.

There are really few dragons that Ryou does not get along with, and one of them is the former Wind nomad, Bakura. Both he and Bakura are of a similar age, Ryou being a few days younger. For whatever reason, Bakura chooses to pick on his lair progenitor, to a degree that Ryou acquires some injuries from the sharp-clawed former Mirror as well as his Coliseum battles. He asks that there be no interference in his business. So there isn't. This is something he wants resolved on his own...something he and Bakura must sort out privately, perhaps.

By the will of his Lairkeeper, Ryou's breed was changed to Spiral, and he was readily accepted into the folds--or coils, shall we say?--of this race. His personality is not much affected by it, except that he's a little more energetic and has silly sleeping habits! He still visits his Tundra kin, and they still identify him as a friendly smell, of course.

Though they are not a mated pair, Ryou is quite fond of Pestilence for having chosen him as worthy for someone to share a lair with, and makes little secret of his friendly affection with her. He is fond of curling around her, on her back, just basically anything a very close friend of many many years might do that could almost be misconstrued as romantic, if you didn't know better. :3c
