PeppermintHumbug also goes by Peppermint, Humbug, Pep, or Bug! But usually the last two are his brother, and he'd rather prefer no one else ever calls him Bug. Peppermint grew up with his Clownpants brother, JollyJingles, and two other siblings, in an ancient lair known as the Rookery, which had been carved into the Terraclae. Their parents were Marn the Tundra of the Fire flight, and Nolan the Fae of the Earth flight.

Unlike his brother, Peppermint is a little shy, and though he loved to watch his brother's antics, he rarely took part in any of his own. It wasn't because he was a bad clown... in fact, Peppermint is a better juggler by far! He just felt a little overshadowed by Jolly, and didn't want to make a fool of himself trying to compete for attention. Besides, their parents didn't really understand what it meant to have two Clownpants' in the family, and neither did their other brother and sister.

Marn was a part of the delving crew, mapping unexplored tunnels, and trying to communicate with the spirits of the dead that they found in those subterranean labyrinths. His job kept him very busy, and he was often too preoccupied to pay much attention to the hatchlings. Likewise, Nolan, like the rest of the Ryno Lair, was always very busy assisting the Elder Council with diplomatic relations between theirs and the neighbouring clans, negotiating trade agreements, building permits, and other things that made Peppermint yawn.

Their brother and sister were likewise bewildered by the Clownpants duo, so Peppermint and Jolly grew very close. Jolly had always talked about wanting to join a circus and embrace his true heritage, and he encouraged Peppermint to do the same, but Peppermint didn't like being different. He wanted to belong somewhere for once. He was going to be a sensible Earth dragon and offer himself to the Earthshaker as a warrior. So when Jolly left for the Starfall Isles to chase his circus dreams, Peppermint enlisted in coliseum training alongside their other siblings.

He trained hard under Gelatina and Wynne, learning skills such as Meditate and Contuse, and worked his way up to Level 5, but his skills never advanced enough to allow him to start working with the intimidating master mage, Mariana, which was honestly somewhat of a relief for the timid Tundra.

After reaching Level 5, Gelatina and Wynne took him aside, and Gelatina bluntly asked him why he was wasting their time. Upon seeing the hurt and then shame on the young Tundra's face, Wynne quickly interjected, shooting his sparring partner an annoyed glance.

"I think what Gelatina is trying to say is that we are concerned that your heart is not truly in your training, Peppermint. We feel we must ask you to be honest with us, and with yourself, about why it is that you are here."

"I w-want to serve the Earthshaker," Peppermint stammered, staring at his claws. "Like Lappet."

"Your sister is indeed a credit to our clan," Gelatina mused, tilting her furry head to one side, "but she isn't you, Peppermint."

"No," the young Tundra agreed miserably, his wings drooping. "She isn't a circus freak."

"Freak?!" Wynne repeated, reeling back in shock. "Is that what you believe? That you are a freak? My dear Peppermint, Clownpants Tundras have a long and storied tradition, dating back, oh, ages!"

"They do?" Gelatina looked genuinely surprised. "I never knew that."

The Skydancer dug a sharp elbow into his friend's side. He couldn't be sure if this was more of Gel's usual dry humour, or if she had honestly forgotten their conversation earlier that very day. It was hard to tell.

"Anyway," he went on quickly, "my point is, being yourself is nothing to be ashamed of. Just because you're different doesn't mean you don't have a place in this world. You just have to find your niche."

"My niche?" Peppermint perked up a bit. "Where do I find it?"

By way of answer, Gelatina tossed a couple of stones at him. Automatically, Peppermint caught them both, one in each hand. Smirking, the older Tundra tossed a third stone his way. Peppermint was juggling before he fully registered what was happening.

"Why don't you start by looking within yourself, kid?" Gelatina suggested, folding her furry arms and giving Wynne a wink. "I think you might just find the answers you're looking for."

It was only a short while after this conversation that PeppermintHumbug packed his belongings and set off to join his brother in the Starfall Isles.

After all, every circus needs some Clownpants.
