Zwil

Zwil is rambunctious and playful, though he lacks the charm that Zaki has. He likes to play pranks on other dragons, and Satu and Dimah like to say that that’s why he was left behind by his original clan.

(This, they know, isn’t true — he was left simply because he hatched late. Dimah imagines that his clan had presumed that his egg was faulty, and, for whatever reason, had gotten rid of it instead of destroying it. Dimah had happened to be hunting around where they had disposed of him, and took the egg home with the feeling that it was still alive. Only hours later, Zwil hatched.)

He’s very fond of staring at others for long periods of time without blinking, which is really very creepy with his huge orange eyes. Like Zaki, he gets mad easily, but he tends to pout for hours afterwards and refuses to forgive anyone until he feels good and ready. He’s somewhat petty and gets hung up on the smallest issues, but with Dimah’s “help,” he’s getting better about being a big baby. Due to his familiar, he has somewhat bad luck, but he loves the little guy to death and refuses to get rid of him. He thinks romance is boring, but Zaki is pretty cool, so he’s okay with having to have her as a mate.
