Cerẹus

"No, Sushi, you can't light the fire with your venom!"
The sandwing sighed deeply, watching as his half-brother attempted once more to light the firepit with his rainwing venom.
"Yes I can!"
The rainwing tried again. Cereus was not suprised at all, for he dealt with this every... single... day.
==Description==
Cereus is a 9-year-old, male sandwing. The majority of his scales, mainly the topmost part, are a dark, yellowish-brown, like the sands of the desert. Unlike the latter, however, his underscales are a light sandy color. His wing membrane and such are the same color as his underscales. Many call him a 'typical sandwing,' but those who know him closely know that he is much more peculiar than he suggests. He is the caretaker of Sushi the rainwing.
==Story==
Cereus was born in 5,039 AS, the dead center of the Age of Revolution, 2 years after his brother, Addax. Their mother strongly believed in a good education, so she shipped him off to Addax's school, Sunshine Academy, when he was 5 months old. Unlike it's name, Sunshine Academy was not a very good school, and Cereus was bullied nearly every day. When he was 2 years old, Calciyum abandoned them to survive in the wild dunes.
Upon entering the scorpion den, Cereus and Addax were almost immediately separated.
"Addax?"
"Addax, where are you?"
The sandwing dragonet cried in the streets, but no one came to help him.
He was alone.
After searching and waiting for addax for two weeks, Cereus decided to leave him behind, leaving his brother for dead. He journeyed to the Sky Kingdom, the last place he saw his father.
Upon reaching the sky kingdom, at the tender age of 4, he spoke with the queen, learning the terrible news.
"D-Did you see my daddy?"
"What was his name, little one?"
The dragonet finally managed to stammer the words out; "B-bishop"
"I'm sorry..."
"I fear your father is dead."
He tried to start a new life in the Sky Kingdom, for he knew he was too far away from the Sand Kingdom to turn back now.
So, he built a home and made friends with the wildlife.
And he buried his past deep inside.
Occasionally he had some bright moments.
Like the time he adopted a baby Dragonbite Viper.
Or the time he helped an elderly nightwing with the groceries.
But mainly he had a quiet life, alone in the Claws of the Clouds Mountains.
Until one day...
A rainwing stumbled into the little cabin, coughing.
"Meep!"
The tiny dragonet grinned up at Cereus, now 7 years old.
"Nobody to take care of you, right little guy?"
The sandwing picked up the little rainwing.
"You know what?"
"I'll be a brother for you!"
"Don't worry, little sushi."
"I'm here for you."
==Personality==
Cereus is a kind, friendly, and slightly shy sandwing. He is obsessed with any sort of desert-inhabiting snake, and he keeps a dragonbite viper whom he calls 'seaweed' as a pet. He is scared to death of scavengers and is a little bit crazy from 5 years alone in the mountains. He is the half-brother of Sushi the rainwing, whom he takes care of. He has grown fond of gardening and fishing in the years alone, and his half-brother has taught him the rainwing way of 'suntime.' Cereus is also curious, poking about the crevices of his mountain cave. 
"I swear, there's secrets hiding here!"
Sushi groaned.
"Can we go now, Cereus?"
