Azra had recently taken over Clan Yonder and was turning everything on its head. The moment she could walk and fly, she was assimilated into her brutal training program. She was the only one of her siblings to pass the testing, the others were forced to leave and were left for dead. She began to form close ties with the other Azra trained warriors, whom she had been training alongside since childhood. These dragons included Carmen, Raven, Cody, Cawthorne and Oriso. As her grandmother's disappearance and her uncle's death had caused great rifts in the family, she didn't spend much time with her cousin, Faran. Little did she know he too was being trained, but for a different purpose. Though she was one of the strongest warriors in the clan after Azra's training, things were difficult, and not without loss. Oriso and Cody were killed when battling each other in a training session, and it was Adrika who watched Raven fall apart from losing her brother. She saw the suffering of her clanmates, and all the hatchlings that went out for testing and never came back. Some, she hoped, survived to find new clans. One day, however, everything changed. Her grandmother, Fenn, was rescued and returned, and a rebellion sparked. It took Adrika by surprise. Azra's reign was all she had ever known, and she had not been included in the rebellion. Still, seeing her clanmates' bravery, she knew what side to fight on. She betrayed Azra and fought against her and the Death Howlers who backed her up. It was a fearsome and difficult battle, but the rebellion succeeded. Though they had achieved their goal, the cost was great. Everything was destroyed, not a single structure was left intact. Many dragons died fighting, including Adrika's own mother. The dragons that survived were disheartened and broken, despite their victory, at what Clan Yonder had become and at all they had lost. Many dragons left the clan, unable to stay in the place that had caused them so much pain. Adrika watched them go. It was the leaving of Faran and Raven that affected her most in the mass exodus from Clan Yonder. Raven, because she was one of the few friends she had left, and after losing so much. It was hard to watch another friend go. Faran, because though she did not know her cousin well, he had been the symbol of the revolution set up to be king as the rightful heir. With him leaving, Adrika was next in line. She accepted her role as queen, and immediately set to work fixing the clan she loved. She had not been alive when Fenn was ruling, but she had heard talk of what the clan had been like before Azra, and she strove to re-achieve that ideal. She also desired to make the clan stronger and more secure so that nothing like Azra's reign could happen ever again. One of her methods for doing this was to create the Council of Twelve, a council which included the current leader and a representative from each flight. The purpose of the Council was simple: limit the power of the leader and ensure the wellbeing of every dragon in the clan. Though she chose not to revoke the tradition of heirs, she also wanted to make sure the Council could disband a leader that was unsuitable for the throne. Though she was very young when she took on leadership, she quickly became a well loved and respected leader. She hopes that in the years to come, even after she no longer holds her position, that her time as Queen of Clan Yonder leaves a benevolent mark on the clan. Little does she know that she has become one of the most influential leaders of the clan, in the past, present and future. Of her close group of friends, only Carmen and Cawthorne remain. What they have been through has created a bond that will never be broken. Carmen helps her out in any way she can, and to this day is the dragon Adrika considers her best friend. Cawthorne travels often, but he has unwavering loyalty to Adrika and Clan Yonder, and he has become her mate.

[center][b]Cawthorne[/b] [url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=26804786] [img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/350/268048/26804786_350.png[/img] [/url][/center] [center][b] Pirate/Council of Twelve Lightning Rep[/b] [i]Subclan: Clan Yonder[/i][/center] Cawthorne was born in the Clan of Resting Wings, and blew into Clan Yonder on a storm. As a hatchling, everyone was surprised that he managed to survive the freak windstorm that hit, but all Clawthorne replied was that he had been able to ride the air currents to get to safety. The survivor's spirit struck a chord in Azra, and she immiately encouraged him to join the clan. He entered training the next morning, and he trained alongside Adrika, Cawthorne, Oriso, Raven, Cody and Faran. All of them, save for Faran, quickly became his good friends. If it were not for them, he likely would have flown away long ago. Even in the midst of Azra's harsh training among the dangers of the Reedcleft Ascent, he often commented on how he'd like to just fly away. Despite the harsh conditions, he remained cheery and lighthearted, and this encouraged his friends. He mourned the tragic deaths of Oriso and Cody alongside his friends. After Azra was overthrown, Cawthorne was able to explore his interests and quite by accident, one day while he was enjoying a flight through the winds, he discovered a wreck of a kite, and he went to investigate. over time, he was able to transform it into a ship, and there is nothing he loves more than soaring through winds of all strengths. He became a pirate of the skies, and spends his free time soaring on his ship in search of treasures and adventures. Of his friends, only Adrika and Carmen remain, but he remains close friends with them. He has undying loyalty to Adrika as his Queen, and he serves her as the lightning representative on the Council of Twelve. He also has become her mate, and though they are not as close romantically as other pairs in the clan, they undoubtedly love each other and would to anything for the other. As it is common knowledge that a wind clan must usually pass the test of living in the Twisting Crescendo before being permitted to live in the Cloudsong, Cawthorne is constantly braving the storm and trying to find a way for the clan to navigate and survive the dangers. He is incredibly excited about the prospect of living there, as storms are his favourite to ride through. [center][img]http://imageshack.com/a/img924/1146/pshuqC.gif[/img][/center]

[center][b]Ravadove[/b] [url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=27244539] [img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/350/272446/27244539_350.png[/img] [/url][/center] [center][b]Actress/Dancer/Lady[/b] [i]Subclan: Tempest Claws[/i][/center] All her life, Ravadove has had a love for performance. From the moment she could fly, she was showing off her moves to her parents and anyone who would watch her. She especially loved to dance, and whenever she could, she would put on shows for dragons to watch. One day, her parents took her to a neighbouring clan to watch a play, and she fell in love with acting. She would practice whenever she could, and she soon grew skilled at both dance and theatre. Eventually, the day came where she decided it was time to leave the clan in which she had been born. She wanted to see bigger and better things, and perform for a wider audience, so without a word, she packed her bags and hit the sky, not knowing where she would end up. She was not yet fully grown at this point, just a young dragon, off to seek her fortune. She did not find the big stage she had been hoping for, but what she did find was a small clan that seemed to need a lot more light in their lives. It was here that she decided to stay, as it was not for fame and fortune that she performed, as much as she desired that, it was for the love of the art, and Clan Yonder seemed like they would appreciate her skills. It was here that she decided to settle. She soon got herself established in her art, and began putting on weekly shows. She would perform on a small, makeshift stage. Eventually, the dragons who went to see her shows started paying a donation upon admission, and she got the funds to build a bigger stage. As time went on, and her audience grew, she became somewhat of a local celebrity. Sometimes dragons from nearby clans would even come to see her shows. As she likes finery, she often saves her money to buy fancy apparel or to expand her stage and set. Soon after she joined the clan, she caught the attention of Saxon, a young merchant. He fascinated her, and her beauty captivated him. They began a relationship, though they are not as deeply in love in the same way that Fenn and Elric, or Amberlyn and Aristotle are. It is more of a fleeting, shallow relationship, like a summer fling that continues to stretch on. No one is really sure how long the relationship will last. Though Ravadove has not yet ruled out going to live in a bigger clan to seek her fame, she seems content to stay here for now. However, whenever anyone asks her of her plans, she does talk about her dream of having her name in lights and performing to a vast and adoring audience. The small town life was never really for her after all. [center][img]http://imageshack.com/a/img924/1146/pshuqC.gif[/img][/center]

[center][b]Remus[/b] [url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=25859452] [img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/350/258595/25859452_350.png[/img] [/url][/center] [center][b]Shade-Touched "Werewolf"[/b] [i]Subclan: Trap Street[/i][/center] [center]Song: [url=https://youtu.be/Z_KlmhXI7Go]Demons - Imagine Dragons[/url][/center] [center][i]Remus shuddered as the day faded further into night. He had been dreading this night. He always dreaded these nights, but they came anyway. So he stood alone, far from his friends, his home, his mate. He stood completely and 100% alone. And there the darkness overtook him.[/i][/center] Remus is a shade touched dragon. He was first when he was a very young hatchling and another shade touched dragon turned him in hopes of recruiting him for a shade army. At first, he was terrified and unable to control it. It would leak or explode out of him in burst, most frequently at night, especially on the nights of the full moon. As the Tangled Wood is dark most of the time, he fled his home to find a place with more light. He spent a while in the Sunbeam Ruins, and gradually, being exposed to weaker and weaker concentrations of the shade, he was able to keep it in check. In his time there, one night in a copse of trees, he came across a black wolf. He was shocked, because most creatures fled from him when his shade was at the strongest, and he had grown incredibly lonely. The presence of the wolf allowed him to practice keeping the shade away from other creatures. The wolf became his only friend. He named the wolf Marauder. Eventually it got to the point where he could keep it in check almost constantly, except for the nights of the full moon, where all the pent up shade energy exploded and he would completely lose control of himself. But as long as no dragons were close to him during that time, there were no huge consequences. Once he was certain he was in control and would not hurt anybody, he flew off in search of a clan to belong to. He didn't want to return to the Tangled Wood, as he now feared and hated the darkness, but as a dark dragon, he couldn't stand the brightness of the light in the Sunbeam Ruins, so he flew around aimlessly to other elemental regions, making sure to fly slow enough that Marauder could follow. Eventually, he reached the Windswept Plateau. There he encountered two young dragons, just out of their hatchling stage and just a little older than himself. They had sneaked out of their clan, and they were excited to find a new friend. Ignoring his protests, they brought him back to Clan Yonder, where he, after a slight argument with them (after all, he was used to being alone and though the clan was small, he wasn't used to being around so many dragons), he was resigned to stay. He soon came to enjoy his new home, for he had never felt so welcomed and loved anywhere. Ripley, Tonks and months after he had joined, a newcomer named Sybil, became his friends. However, he didn't tell them about his secret, scared they would abandon him if they did. Instead, he left without warning every full moon, and arrived, exhausted and beaten up, the morning after. If his friends ever realized he was gone, they didn't say anything. Eventually, Sybil worked it out. she confronted him, and he confessed to everything. To his surprise, she didn't hate him, and instead, encouraged him and told him he was strong and brave for not succumbing to it and learning to control it. He had never considered himself brave before. After this, he begged her not to tell anyone, and she agreed, but encouraged him to tell Tonks. Remus was surprised. When he asked her why she would say this, Sybil had just laughed. "I've seen the way you look at each other." She had explained. "If you're going to have a future with her, she deserved to know about this." Remus promised to tell her. He had never been so scared as when he told Tonk. He stammered through his while explaination and told her if she didn't want to be mates, if she didn't want to potentially pass down his condition to their future hatchlings, he wouldn't hold it against her. But to his surprise, she didn't care that he was shade touched, and that she wanted to be with him regardless. They became mates soon after that, and Remus had never felt so happy. They were mates for a long long time, and he stayed by her side through the entirety of Azra's harsh reign. He comforted her when four out of their five daughters failed to pass Azra's testing and disappeared without any signs of where they had been, and he felt with her the pain of losing them. They watched together as their youngest daughter, Adrika, rose to become a fierce warrior, and often wondered who she would have become had she not had to go through Azra's harsh training. Nevertheless, they were proud of their daughter. When the rebellion struck, He and Tonks fought side by side, protecting the clan they loved. Unfortunately, Tonks was slain in battle, and in all of his pain and anger, Remus lost control of the shade. He fought incredibly fiercely, driving out many of the mirrors that were attacking them. Unfortunately, due to not having enough control over the shade, one of his clanmates, Hufflepuff, also was a victim of his ravaging. After the rebellion, though they had one, Remus did not feel like he had won. He had lost Tonks. He had lost control. He was certain he was going to be thrown out. But he wasn't. When the mass exodus of dragons from Clan Yonder left, he stayed to help rebuild the clan he loved, the clan Tonks loved. He decided to stay there for their daughter, who had become leader, and slowly, he began to find happiness again, though he knows he will always carry the pain of all her had lost with him. When Adrika created the Council of Twelve and he was offered the position of Shadow Representative, Remus almost refused. He had spent too long living in the darkness, he didn't want anything to remind him of his beginnings, or the shade that lived inside of him. Eventually, however, he did accept, and is proud to support his daughter in her reign, and knows how happy this would have made Tonks. (Remus is loosely based on Remus Lupin from the Harry Potter series. I just made him shade touched instead of a werewolf.)

He's clumsy, loud, conspicuous, and horrible at hiding his finds. He's also a bit of a coward, and if you catch him stealing something, he'll offer you something from his hoard of stolen goods to make up for it. A traveling bandit by the name of [url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=20164999]Teletubby[/url] did try to teach the young bogsneak the art of thievery, and though that did improve Mofoi's skills, that doesn't make him good at his chosen job. The moment Mofoi heard about the Black Market, he was dying to join them. They seemed so cool in his eyes, like elite bandits! He wanted so badly to be like them! Unfortunately, most of his stash of stolen goods is basically worthless. However, after having a look at what Mofoi had to offer, Mercer did discover some things of value, and agreed to let him on, giving the bogsneak a much lower percentage of his earnings than he deserved, as Mercer told Mofoi the value of the item is much lower than it actually is. Mofoi may be bad at his job, and he may get the short end of the stick, but he is very sweet. he is a good dragon at help, and he just wants to help. He grew up on stories like Robin Hood, and wanted to be like his childhood hero. He may have lost a few points to the story, but he does like to gift some of his stolen earnings to those who seem like they are having a rough day.

[center][b]Iago[/b] [url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=33268228] [img]http://www1.flightrising.com/dgen/dressing-room/dragon?did=33268228&skin=22932&apparel=15726,23083,23085&xt=dressing.png[/img] [/url] [center][b]Queen[/b] Song: [url=https://youtu.be/0tCSuduIXwQ]East - Sleeping at Last[/url] [b][i]I bear little resemblance to the king I once was, And I bear little resemblance to the king I could become. Maybe paper is paper, maybe kids will be kids, But Lord I want to remember how to feel like I did.[/i][/b][/center] Iago grew up on stories of the queens that once ruled Clan Yonder. She spent her childhood in awe of them, playing games about the stories she had heard with her brother and any other dragon who would be willing to play. She dreamed of one day being a queen like them, and was disappointed when her father told her the clan would never have another queen. It didn't need one anymore, it was an inn. As she got older, however, the dream never left her. She was still fascinated to learn the history surrounding the past traditions of the clan. She would eagerly listen to any dragon who would tell her anything about what Adrika was like, and would meet up with Fenn for tea whenever the opportunity arose. She tentatively asked questions about Azra, wanting to find out her strengths. As she matured, she began to realize the clan was feeling cramped in the inn. Sure, there was certainly enough space for everyone, but the roles they could take up and dreams they could pursue were limited. Already the inn was looking more and mare like a small town as shops were set up around the courtyard. It was then that Iago got her idea. When she proposed the idea to her mother, she was met with laughter, but upon realizing her daughter was serious, Hinnah told Iago that she thought it was a great idea. She explained that from what she had heard, the clan had become an inn out of fear of disruption and death due to the constant drama of who would hold power, yet that fear was inhibiting the growth of the clan now. Iago thought long and hard about what she wanted for the clan before she officially proposed the idea. She subtly sought advice from many dragons in the clan, wanting to get input from all generations of her clanmates to make sure the clan was still an ideal place for all who wanted to live. When she did officially propose the idea, boldly but intensely nervous, she was surprised to find how many dragons supported her idea to expand the inn into a port town. That was how the port town of Iyonda Landing came to be. The Inn Over Yonder still exists, being piloted around the skies of the Windswept Plateau and docking at Iyonda Landing at night. Iago, to her great surprise and joy, was proposed to be the official leader of the clan. Admiring her simultaneous mind for innovation while still respecting tradition, many dragons found her the natural fit for the job. While Iago has given her position the title of queen, her role is much more close to a mayor than a monarch. The heir system has been dismantled, leaving whoever the clan feels to be the best fit and also has a heart for the role to be the deciding factors in leadership. She is fiercely proud of achieving her dreams, despite those who told her it would never be possible. She cares deeply for her clan and clanmates, and she hopes that one day, her leadership will be as fondly remembered as the other leaders the clan has had. he carries all their legacy with her. She seeks to have Fenn's kindness, Azra's strength and ferocity, Adrika's wisdom, and Olivia's innovation and knack for organizing dragons in a way that fits their needs and interests. Many dragons find her recognition of Azra's good qualities controversial, as many remember the pain and bloodshed she caused, or have heard many horrifying stories, but Iago holds to the fact that though she was a tyrant and lacked many qualities that would have made her a loved and successful leader, Azra was good at leading and there are as many things that could be learned from her as the other leaders the clan has had.
