M irror mirror on the wall. As the gateway to the soul, the most striking feature of the dragon is her eyes. They are so intensely gold in color that they seem to glow, even in the dark. Her eyes are always, always highlighted with a soft, pink shadow to give her creamy, pale skin a healthy looking glow. Her eyebrows are short, only about half the length of her eyes. Her ears are long, sticking straight out to the sides. At about half of their length, they appear to fold over themselves as if the top is too heavy to stand upright on it's own. Ranis' lips are naturally a light pink, but she is known to color them red or gray, depending on her mood. Usually, they are gray. She's of average height in her humanoid form, standing at just five feet six inches tall. Her body seems to have been crafted to perfection, with just the right amount of curves in all of the right places. The proportion of her body seems to be rather even, thought her hips are just a bit wide. Her hair always appears to be meticulously done. Her bangs are just long enough to cover her eyes when worn normally. Save for the bangs that do not fall into her direct line of sight, Ranis tucks the bangs that would hang over her eyes to the sides and pins it in place. Most often, her hair is worn in a ponytail which is tied with her own, braided hair. The ponytail hands down to her her hips. It is not uncommon to see her wearing a flower stuck in her hair, over her right ear usually, or wearing several earrings connected together with a chain. Ranis is always wearing clothing that looks rather expensive. It's rare if ever to see her without a fancy, lacy black chocker around her neck. One her hands she usually wears gloves that match with the chocker. Most often, she is seen wearing a dark blue kimono, which has an intricate, highly detailed peacock design woven in gold. Several flowers are also woven into the fabric as well, and rest mostly around her shoulder and the lower hem of the outfit. The obi sash is light red in color, and tied in a most intricate fashion forming several bows which lie off center, leaning towards the right. In her Dragon form, Ranis is a large dragon with scales that look more like rose petals than scales. Even in this form, beauty seems to give way to appearing powerful. Her head is primarily black in color, slowly conforming into a black and red mane like pattern formed of her scales. Her neck is long, segmented by plates of black traced with red. This connects with the main body, which is obviously long. The scales here can stand or sit. They usually stand when she is trying to intimidate an opponent. At times such as these, her body appears to be that of a large, black and red rose. When she is transporting others, something she rarely does, the scales sit. The thin flesh of her wings is translucent, sectioned like the outer portion of a flower's petals. Her tail is long, and like her neck, primarily black in color with a red patter highlighting and segmenting it. It appears to be much like the stem of a rose, complete with thorns. Her legs are the same black color, the nails which reside at the end are the same bright shade of red as her body. ? ? Wise Powerful Resourceful Determined Protective Insightful ??? T he real me. With more than twenty thousand years of life experience, it should come as no surprise to any that Ranis is one of the smartest living beings on the planet. Her life experience has granted her more wisdom than the most thorough library could provide. For such a wise person, one would think that she would be more serious in her undertakings, but that usually isn't the case. She has earned the nickname Troublesome Queen for a reason. She's a rather carefree individual who has pushed the responsibility of governing the Dragon Kingdom onto those who serve under her. Ruling is troublesome in her opinion, and after about twenty thousand years of doing so, she's grown tired of it. She sees herself as nothing more than a figure head now, and rarely does anything beyond signing off on the few things that she needs to do. In whatever she does, she pushes forward with a unwavering determination, not stopping until she is able to achieve whatever it was that her mind was set upon doing. Ranis is a confident woman who takes pride in her ability, appearance, and status as a Queen though she doesn't carry out her responsibilities as a Queen . Like most dragons, she has quite a bit of an ego and can act a bit self-centered at times. It is fairly easy to get on her good side by stroking her ego. It is best to compliment her beauty or her strength, which tends to automatically put her in a particularly good mood. Generally, she appears to be a bright and cheerful individual with a good sense of humor who enjoys a good laugh and having a good time. She is unfamiliar with human society, and has recently become fascinated by it. Because of her lack of knowledge in such things, humans generally see her as childish. Those who actually understand her would use the word whimsical to describe her. When she grows close to someone, she tends to go so far as to proclaim them as hers. There are very few people that she's actually said this about - those people being the Queen of Light and the Four Knights. To these people, she is fiercely loyal and protective of. For them, she would do anything. Since the betrayal of the Treacherous Knight and the death of the Queen of light, Ranis has grown noticeably depressed. She feels guilty for not being able to save the Queen when she knew about the King of Darkness' plan and partially blames herself for what happened. Those two individuals are the only beings in all of her life that she has come to genuinely hate. They are also the only ones who can push her to the point where her temper explodes. The angered Dragon Queen is just as fearsome as one would expect a dragon to be - an out of control beast bent on the destruction of what angers her. ??? T he past is history. Ranis Zaberisi was born the Crown Princess of the Dragon Kingdom over twenty-thousand years ago. Being of noble birth, and an only child, she has been spoiled and it shows to this day. Her parents were loving individuals who cared for her a great deal up until the day they died. Her father died of natural causes about five thousand years after her birth, and her mother died from the grief of losing her husband about six years later. This left Ranis in charge of the Dragon Kingdom since those days. Over the years, the new Queen spent a lot of time ruling and watching over the world from the sidelines, preferring not to get into the affairs of the other beings and retain neutrality. There were many reasons for this, but mostly because she didn't want to be bothered with such affairs. Ranis' life was a sheltered one for a time. However, after meeting and getting to know humans a little better, she has become fascinated by them. A young dragon by the name of Andusk was hand selected by the Queen to gather more information about the human world in secret, a precursor to what would be the next major event in the ruler's life. It was Andusk's refusal to come home, due to what even the socially awkward Queen could recognize as love, that the Ranis decided to just leave the kingdom one day, leaving her responsibility to the royal retainers and the council of elders that advised her. During her travels, she sought audience with the Queen of Light and met the human who would become her best friend. It was common to see her about the Palace, speaking with servants, joking, and acting more like a brute than nobility. She met with the Knight's on several occasion's befriending them all enough for her to consider them hers as well. There were several occasions when Ranis met with the King of Darkness, who was attempting to convince her to join his cause and betray the Queen of Light. Ranis thought such a notion to not only be foolish, but even threatened the King's life on several occasions. Unbeknowest them all, the King planted his seeds into one of the knights. A tragedy happened that none of them expected - that very knight betrayed the kingdom and slayed the Queen. With the forces of darkness fast approaching, the dragon had no choice but to flee with the other knights in anguish. Since those days, Ranis has been aimlessly wandering the human world ever thinking about the stance of neutrality that the dragon people have taken up. The time is fast approaching for her to decide which side to take in the conflict, and though the choice is a simple one, making it is harder than anything else. ? d ? ??? I 'm used to it When thinking, she'll often tap her cheek or flip her ear. She treats people she is close to as equals, and will often wrap an arm around their shoulders and joke with them. She is quick to remind anyone who shows her disrespect that she is a Queen and will put then back in their place if need be. Usually remains in her humanoid form. ???

As such, the Dragon Queen has a powerful repertoire of spells at her disposal. The magic that is most often seen is the magic that allows her to change from her humanoid form to her dragon form. She has come to be fond of her human form, and choses to remain in it most of the time. When she must travel long distances, or when she is transporting others, she will use her transformation magic to shift into her larger dragon like form. Ranis is capable of performing partial transformations. Most commonly, she'll create her talons to be used in battle, or form her tail when the extra appendage is needed. When she loses her temper, her grasp on her humanoid form becomes harder to maintain. At these times, her eyes will change, her irises become red while her eyes shine gold, and black or red scales will start to form on her body. Her talons and tail always pop out at this point, and it's not uncommon to see her wings start to form as well. Fire magic is her specialty. She has both offensive and defensive spells, both of which she has used enough to have a firm grasp of, but has not mastered as she rarely uses magic in combat. When she does use magic, it's usually to reinforce her weapon in a fight, or for added damage. Her flames are purple in color, approaching white as they intensify. Outside of reinforcing her weapon, her most commonly used spell is a healing spell in which she sets her own injury or an allies injury on fire. The fire stops the wounds from bleeding, and speeds up the healing process. ??? C ower beneath my blade. Her twenty thousand years of experience haven't been spent sitting idly upon a throne. Ranis was trained in several forms and fighting styles, so that she could protect herself should the need ever arise. She has experience in both sword fighting and in hand to hand combat. Her main weapon is a longsword with a cross guard that is horizontal to the blade. From the right angle formed by the intersection of the cross guard and the hilt a circle forms and connects with the other side of the cross guard, forming a circle. A chain with a weight is connected to the end of the hilt. Ranis is highly skilled with this weapon. Her skill with the sword is deadly, not just using it like a normal sword, but also as a ranged weapon. It's not uncommon to see her throw it at an enemy and skewer them with it, only to rip back on the chain to cause even more damage. She can use the weight on the other end of the weapon to bing a fleeing enemies feet, or use the weight itself to attack and cause a heavy injury with the blunt end of the weapon. When fighting unarmed, Ranis always tries to end the fight quickly by rendering her enemy unable to fight back, or by simply slaying them by jabbing her talons through their bodies. She is light on her feet, and moves with grace. With the Dragon Queen, fighting isn't just combat, but a form of art. ? ? ? ??? T his connection is deep. Ranis knows all four of the knights rather well. She was closest to the deceased Queen of Light, and generally disliked her brother, the King of Darkness. Since the death of the Queen, her love for the Treacherous knight has turned into hate, and her deep dislike of the King of Darkness has turned into loathing. ??? Y our sound of death. Replica , Seven Sirens and a Silver Tear , A Funeral for Yesterday ??? F ulfil your curiosity. Ranis thinks that her feelings for the Queen of Light may have gone beyond mere friendship, but never voiced such thoughts and still wouldn't dare to do this day. When she says she loved the Queen, she means as a friend. Her understanding of an emotion as complex as love is near non-existent. ??? S how them proudly I can paint the world with flowers that grow by heaven's gate . Sincerely yours, DudeGuy.
