Alba

Haha funny evil albino LeafWing haha
=== Introduction ===
You walk down the streets of the Scorpion Den, keeping your laid barb tightly curled, and your head down. Recently, a big figure in the Scorpion Den, Cobra, had been killed, the war was finally over, and everything was okay. Well, except for the fact that you were walking inside a viper pit of criminals and murderers right now. In fact, one just stopped you in your tracks. They were wearing a white cloak, that billowed behind them. It was embroidered with golden thread, and covered most of their body, along with a hood. Their head was tilted down so it was difficult to see their snout.
”Come, now.” They rasped. They just turned and started walking. While you didn’t really have to obey, something about their voice told you it was better to go along with them. So you started walking.
You contemplated stabbing them with your barb, but you doubted it would be that easy to kill them, and eyes seemed to be following you everywhere. Slowly, a line of SandWings boxed you in, so quiet you hardly noticed. You and the stranger were now at the end of the alleyway. It was a dead end. The stranger turned to the SandWings behind you. They suddenly spread out, forming a tight circle around you, so you couldn’t run.
The stranger pulled down the hood of their cloak, and the rest of the cloak seemed to disintegrate in the wind into glowing white particles.
=== Appearance ===
The stranger was not a tribe you could identify. A strange, leafy sail ran down their back, and a leaf was attached to the end of their tail. Their wings were even leaf-shaped, and also very big. Their tail and legs were long, with muscles rippling underneath the surface. They had long, curling horns, and small ears, with unfocused, often twitching eyes. Their claws were short and sharp, and they had prominent eye ridges, similar to a NightWing. Their snout was hooked, and they had strange leaf-shaped markings all over their smooth scales.
The stranger was just as odd in coloring. The most noticeable quality about them was that their eyes were a pale red, and almost looked like they were glowing. Their scales were mostly white with a (very) slight pink tint, with their leaf markings being a pale pink color. Their snout, legs, and tail fades into the same pink color, as did their wings (on a weaker scale). Their leaf webbing was a slightly stronger pink-red color, and their underbelly was a pure white color, and their spines were the same color as their webbing.
They were wearing almost nothing, which was unusual in the Scorpion Den, except for improved claw attachments that were made out of a light grey steel.
”SandWing, you will be joining my group,” they croaked. Their voice sounded rusty, like it had been unused for a long time. As you stammered, their tail shot out, lightning fast, and hit you lightly in the neck. As light as it was, you felt yourself slipping into oblivion.
=== Abilities ===
Alba is able to use photosynthesis to gain energy. However, they get sunburns after a short amount of time in the sun, so they are often found in the shade. Not only that, but their albinism causes their eyesight to be rather strange, as they have trouble perceiving depth, and have trouble focusing on things, and their eyes often spasm. They also have somewhat soft scales. Despite this, Alba is a master in combat and stealth, and is very skilled in all areas of their expertise. They also know quite a bit about the dragon anatomy, and uses it to their advantage, able to disable enemies within moments. Their claw attachments allow for better combat abilities, and can be retracted so they don’t make noise. Other than that, Alba is very agile and strong.
=== Personality ===
====== Positive ======
Alba is very intelligent, and is also very calm, able to keep their cool under any amount of pressure. They are very patient, though they waste no time on fools. They are gentle and caring to those they like, and can easily pick out hidden traits and lies from a dragon. They can improvise at an moment, and are a strategic genius, and have very good memory. They are very honest, and always keep their word.
====== Neutral ======
Alba is crafty, cunning, and sly, often cheating to get their way. They can be almost annoyingly calm, and can appear even bored as other dragons are struggling, making others angry. They lie easily themselves, and are certainly not above it, if it gets them what they want. While they can get their claws dirty, and will if they need to, they prefer others doing the work for them, and can be dismissed as lazy. They almost never speak.
====== Negative ======
Alba is sadistic, and would happily watch the world end, if it meant they could cause chaos. They cannot understand the idea of empathy or sympathy, and are dead cold, killing easily and without emotion. They are cruel and controlling, and are brutal against enemies. They are ruthless during combat, rarely leaving survivors, and if they do, they imprison them. They hold grudges for an incredibly long time, and always come back to bite the target in the butt.
=== History ===
====== Pre-Egg ======
Roughly 40 years after the Tree Wars, Rosemary and Castor lived. The two of them were PoisonWings, and while they didn’t exactly like each other, they were coerced into mating in order to raise the PoisonWing population. Rosemary was heavy with two eggs later on. Little did they know, they carried albino genes.
====== Egg ======
When the two eggs were first seen, it was obvious that something was off. One of the eggs was a healthy, bright green color, with darker green spots. However, the other egg was white, with pale pink markings. The white egg was assumed to be diseased, and was separated from the rest of the village, rarely being tended to. Meanwhile, the green egg was given to Rosary.
====== Baby Dragonet ======
The albino hatched at exactly midnight, on a new moon. The stars twinkled in the sky, casting a very faint light down. The dragonet ate their own egg, then stumbled towards the food storage, smelling the food. They ate the only pieces of meat, devoured multiple fruits and vegetables, and ruined the orderly lines of food. After a bit, they found a water cauldron and tipped it over, splashing water on the scattered fruits. As the dragonet drank from the puddle, they were found by a LeafWing named Cicuta. She decided to name the hatchling Alba before the other LeafWings found them, and Alba managed to cling to it before it faded.
The LeafWings came quickly, peeled the dragonet from Cicuta’s claws, and threw him in the ocean. Right as they were, their sibling hatched. Alba managed to crawl onto a piece of driftwood that was heading west, and let the gentle waves wash them away from Pantala, towards Pyrrhia.
As the hatchling processed what happened, he quickly developed a hatred and suspicion of other dragons, regardless of type or personality. They were forced to drink ocean water, and managed to catch fish while they were floating towards Pyrrhia. When they finally bumped into the west coast of Pyrrhia, they climbed onto the shore, finally feeling ground beneath their talons.
====== Dragonet ======
Alba wandered the desert for a long time, tripping over their own feet, living on a measly diet of lizards and the occasional corpse. They were forced to chase the vultures away from their meals, and got their first taste of battle. They unknowingly went in the direction of the Scorpion Den, and rumors of a “ghost dragon” were getting more and more popular in the Scorpion Den.
When Alba finally came to the SD, they quickly realized that it was a hostile environment. However, they had to stay if they wanted to survive. For a long time, Alba scavenged from trashes and the rare dead dragon, and began building up agility and skill. They often tussled with other dragonets over food, and started realizing the usefulness of strategic planning, and improvising.
Alba slowly learned the dragon language, though their words were halting and slow. They gained small muscles, a show of their power, and became a clever combatant, seldom engaged by any other dragonets, for fear of their power.
====== Adolescent ======
As soon as Alba could, they started bringing dragons under their control. They made a name for themselves, always known as Fallen Angel. After all, nobody knew their real name. They made a small, devoted gang, and began working their way up from the start. They slowly took over other groups and retreated into anonymity, preferring that their group members feared them, and who they were. They named a new gang leader, a stupid brute named Cleaver who they could easily control.
Alba’s gang became known as the Saints (ironically), and Alba used the war to their advantage, bringing in group members under the guise of protection and security. When Thorn took over, Alba remained calm and confident, naming a million ways they could usurp Thorn. However, they let her keep control, in order to keep the casualties low.
After Thorn left and Vulture took over, Alba received news of a Darkstalker. They bided their time, waiting until Vulture’s rule was released. And the moment it was, they struck.
Alba spread their control over the entire Scorpion Den, leaving the other gangs to themselves, but letting it be known that Alba was the one in control. Though, in the other dragon’s eyes, Cleaver was. Alba decided not to invade as to avoid a possible rebellion, simply paralyzing the other gangs with fear.
They soon took in a young prodigy, after witnessing them beat a full grown SandWing in a battle, a NightWing who was 1/4 SandWing. They previously had no name, so Alba called them Coil, for their energy.
Throughout the years, they slowly converted Coil into a killing machine under their wing. While Coil thought Alba cared for them, in reality, Alba only kept them because they were good at fighting.
As Coil grew up under the Saints, they realized that Alba could care less about them, and just wanted them because they could kill dragons easily. So in the night, Coil escaped, leaving Alba clueless as to where they had gone, despite their many outlets among the Scorpion Den.
Alba was forced to look for Coil themself, and along the way encountered too many extroverted SandWings for their comfort. Eventually, they gave up the search, and Coil started messing with the Saints. Alba, annoyed, finally managed to capture them, until they escaped again, leaving a cryptic note.
====== Present ======
Alba is still in control of the Scorpion Den with an iron grip. However, Coil is still messing with the Saints, attempting to eliminate them completely, as Alba knew.
