Cobalt

Past


Cobalt grew up in a Lightning clan. For most of her hatchlinghood, she felt out of place. Everybody in the clan expected her to act like a proper Lightning dragon, be inventive, inquisitive, mature, but that wasn't something that interested her. She just wanted to collect shiny things and cause trouble, and that made the others angry. As she grew, the pressure for her to change increased, along with the hostility of other clan members towards her. One night, she'd finally had enough, and decided to leave.
She didn't take much, nor did she let anyone know she was leaving. She had no idea where she was heading, but it was certainly as far from The Shifting Expanse as possible. She traveled for weeks on end, until she eventually passed out from exhaustion on the outskirts of Dragonhome. She was found by a kind guardian who nursed her back to health. The guardian offered Cobalt to join their clan, and she somewhat reluctantly accepted. She soon realized how much more pleasant and accepting of her members of this small Earth clan were, compared to those of her birthclan. She could finally be herself here. This was it. This was home.
She enjoyed her new dwelling for many months, befriending most of the other dragons, until tragedy struck. The clan's leader had fallen deathly ill, and soon after their passing, the clan dissolved. Some members went on to serve their deity, but Cobalt, along with Penta, wanted to find a new home. They settled for a small Water clan whose leader visited them a couple of times. She's had some trouble adjusting to her new clan, but she's made lots of new friends, and she's very happy there.
