Axial

Personality: Temperamental and Shy


Lore:

Axial was always a quiet dragonet. Born into a peaceful Arcane lair he grew up with many other dragonets. His brother was always more outgoing and favored for his social skills. Axial felt pressured to be more like his brother.

Axial had given up before he had reached adulthood. He didn't try to talk to other dragonets or dragons, spending time playing with spare items from the hoard. He knew everybody else thought he was less than his brother, so why shouldn't he meet their standards?

One day he had accidentally left out an array of objects in the shape of the lair's founder. When he woke the next morning, other dragons had begun to gather around his playthings. In fear of being scolded he slipped into the shadows and watched to determine if they suspected him.

To his surprise, dragons were amazed by the array and were very impressed. Nobody owned up to the act and it was forgotten by the next few mornings, just a quick conversation tarter over breakfast. Axial had never forgotten how great it felt to be appreciated by his lair.

The next night he stayed awake, flying around the dens, decorating them with glittering treasures and intricate statues. he never got to see their reaction though, as he was purchased by another lair and sent there in the night.

At his new lair, he decided to turn over a new leaf and try to meet some of the new dragonets. He met Erinighta and they became fast friends. Eventually, as they grew up they had a dragonet together.

Quickstrike was Axial's pride and joy from the moment she was hatched. Sadly, she never got to spend time with her parents, as she was immediately taken away from them. Axial was heartbroken but grew determined to have something else to love besides Erinighta.

He loved to spend time with the more shy dragonets and help them out of their shells, but it wasn't what he wanted.

He then remembered how overjoyed he had felt when the dragons from his old lair were proud of him and set to work. He now decorates the lair each night, bringing all the inhabitants so much joy, and in return, he felt happier and happier.

Now he spends more time with other dragons and has become good friends with Ramona and Sapphire.
