Seastrider

Seastrider
-She/Her-

Seastrider loves nothing more than flying just above the water’s surface. As she soars across the horizon, droplets of water soak her feathered wings, and waves lap at her talons. The wind refreshes her, and she delights in the way the water splashes in her wake. Out on the water is her favorite place to be.
Making use of this habit, Seastrider brings a net with her to trawl for fish. She is the main fisherman of the clan, and works daily to provide food for hungry clanmates.

One day, however, she accidentally caught something that wasn’t a fish at all.

Seastrider accidentally fished up a tiny hatchling! Once she got to shore and realized this, she panicked. She tried to inquire about any parents the little one had, but they were so young they couldn’t answer, their eyes weren’t even open yet. Instead, she asked her friend Verna—who works with hatchlings—what she should do. At this point in time, Undertides had only recently returned to the modern world, and the frazzled Skydancer had no clue how to care for hatchlings, much less a long forgotten ancient one!

Thankfully Verna was more level headed. Being the clan’s caretaker, she agreed to care for the Undertide since Seastrider worked so much to provide the clan with fish. And honestly, her friend was terrible with hatchlings, so it was for the best. But that didn’t stop the young dragon from following Seastrider around whenever she came ashore.

Seastrider and Verna decided to name her Charonia after their search for her parents turned up nothing, and the two friends winded up accidentally sort of adopting her. Whoops.
