Notable Events

• Former member of a mysterious 'hive mind' of dragons, which causes her great discomfort and distress to describe. She escaped due to the action - or inaction - of her parents, who had what she could only describe as 'glitches' in their mental states that became more acute when passed down to her and meant that she was born an individual in a sea of connected minds. She very quickly became aware that she would be killed if caught, instinctively, and fled into the wilderness the first moment she was able to despite her youth.
  
• Ursa brought her to this clan after finding her trapped in a gorge. Local clans had no idea where she came from and didn't have the room to take her, so Ursa brought her to Dragonblight. However, her mental state became so poor and she suffered so much distress in the open clan grounds that for her own safety, the hatchling was brought here, where she has remained ever since.

Final Notes

Bell is one of a few dragons here that has no trace of the Shade whatsoever, nor any other bizarre ailment that Lumpy cannot cure. She simply cannot tolerate life in the bustling clan grounds, immensely preferring to seclude herself away in my lab's quieter halls. While I wish she could give us more information regarding this... 'hive', I will not force this from her before she is ready.

I believe that she could ultimately be able to handle life in the clan, perhaps amongst the silk spinners, given enough time and having a more developed mind than she did as a child. However, I will not force this issue either. I think she appreciates being given the choice the rare times I ask her, even though we both know what she's going to choose.
