In the desert there stands a sandstone city and within this city there lays a pastel dragoness named Galaga. Not a very well-known criminal but a criminal nevertheless. A tattoo artist who craves popularity and works for a boss that isn't what he originally seems. This SandWing lived the life of a spoiled child and while that didn't necessarily make her overly demanding or brattish, it made her lazy. Not only that, but it made her selfish and greedy, though she didn't openly express these when she was younger. Ever since she started school she desired popularity and selfishness and greed are two personality traits all the popular kids didn't have. Popularity wasn't exactly what she got, but she did have a larger than average friend group, but that was it.

A P P E A R A N C E
Galaga's appearance is unique to say the least. Shimmering, bright, and marked here and there by tattoos and earrings. Though she may appear like that of a normal SandWing, there are a few features that separate her from the rest. Her main scales are a pale pastel yellow that fades into a more orangey hue of the same color. Light pastel orange covers the front of her snout, though a bit hard to see, as it blends in with her scales a little bit. Though a much more clear pastel orange runs across the top of her head and down her back. Coming in the form of small, flat scales, they quickly fade into the color at the end of her snout. Around her tail, however, they fade back into their original color.
Her underbelly is a pastel pink and runs down to her tail barb. Long, straight horns protrude from the back of her head, light bluish-purple in color. This same color is seen perched on the end of her snout, short and thick. A small thumbtack of a spine is seen just underneath her large ears. This one is a bit deeper in color compared to the rest of her horns. Her large, round eyes are a deep brown and has eye shadow underneath both of them. It's supposedly some attempt to look cool, but it only makes her look tired. Though that was clearly not what she was going for. Continuing on, Galaga has a huge, curvy sail that dances across her back. It could easily be mistaken as the same color as her main scales, but it is a bit yellower than her scales.
Large wings come up from her shoulders with light pastel orange scales covering the front of them and splashing her legs. The membranes of her wings are of the same color as her sail, a light pastel yellow. These are about the length of herself and are considerably elegant and flashy. At the end of her swooping tail is her poisonous barb that is the same color are her main scales. Galaga's legs, as mentioned, are mainly the light pastel orange but from her elbows down they are the same color as her main scales. That is while the light pastel orange is studded here and there, but not very frequent. Near the SandWing's wrists, the main coloration fades into yellow that is similar to that of her sail in color.
The SandWing's build is tall and graceful while she herself is rather petite and slightly chubby, to put it in few words, she looks beautiful. She holds herself pridefully, with her shoulders back and her head high. Her charming and friendly smile spreads across her snout like a hard-won medal, always there on her face (well, most of the time).
Galaga wears a wide variety of accessories, mostly jewelry but her scales have a few black tattoos on them. For the jewelry, it's mostly black plug earrings with the occasional piercing through her sail and wings. These, like her earrings, are also black. Occasionally, Galaga wears silver and gold bracelets around her ankles and wrists. Though all of these accessories depend on the occasion. On her right shoulder, crawling slightly up her wing is a vine-like marking coming out of a snake-like creature's mouth. This is a tattoo of course for the sole reason of thinking it looked cool.

One may consider this being a strange looking SandWing, pastel colors burst from her scales, she's one of those who'd stand out perfectly well in a crowd. Shimmering pastel scales, not exactly normal for a SandWing per say, for most would expect sandy white or pale yellow. This would be Galaga, a local tattoo artist with seemingly normal intentions of satisfying her customers. Her mainscales are of a pale pastel yellow, rippling in soft paint strokes on sharp ended scales, while the near entirety of her head is of an orangy-yellow hue. Usually seen in a neutral or confused expression on her snout, this being seems to stand for innocence.
She may appear to some as eye-catching and certainly strange, light pastel orange scales pad the uppermost part of her back as small triangles, this follows with the top of her head. Upon further notice, one may see a lighter sheen upon her upperscales that fades from the original line of pastel orange, however nearing the tail, they fade back to their original color. Her underbelly is of pure pastel pink, a color you may find in pink cloud aesthetics, this goes all the way down to the tip of her tail, ending before the barb. May one mention the pale pastel orange creamsicle painted fondly upon the front of her short snout before blending in with the pastel oranges upon the top of her head.
Large ears are a rather noticeable feature, the insides being a deep rose, a strong sense of pink overall. Horns appear from behind these, remaining a nice pale pastel indigo or purplish blue, these, however, aren't exactly that showy compared to that of her ears. Galaga's nose horn, while short, is of the same coloration and the small horn below her ears is similar is coloration, but darker, falling into a purplish side, failing to be slightly bigger than the nose horn itself. Her eyes, to mention, are large and filled with natural ignorance and puzzlement, but in coloration remain a very dark green, to appear to most as black. These would be rather large and round like the moons themselves, being to the point of circles or ovals, the pupils remain slitted, yet all the same friendly or confused looking.
Her build would be that of stocky and small to the point being easily overlooked in a crowd, she is, by some standards, short for her age. Rounded jaws can be followed along with a slightly plump appearance near the legs, naturally her paws are small. From a distance, Galaga looks rather friendly looking, not one you'd expect to be capable of murder at all and in a way, she doesn't purposefully commit to murdering others, rather it's more of an aftereffect. A membranous crest slithers down her back, in between her indigo horns and large ears, which remains a strong pastel lemon yellow. Her wings are by all means medium sized and upon being flared out, should they appear well balanced for the character in whom they belong to.
The membranes of her wings remain the same colorations as her sail, a strong pastel lemon yellow, the shape appearing like that of a bat's, the normal appearance of any SandWing's wing, curving in deep arcs and the horn upon the wing remains that of indigo, much like the rest of her horns. Upon her paws, a hue of deeper pastel yellows stain, this doesn't cover the entirety of her arms, rather it fades back into the coloration of her mainscales when nearing the wrists. It seems that no matter what, Galaga always has the distant scent of smoke and perhaps even the distant smell of pen ink, not exactly the most pleasant scent given to the dragoness. Who would think that the most innocent looking of dragons could have sinister intentions, well, not exactly sinister, but you get the gist.
 
P E R S O N A L I T Y
SandWings... when you think about the desert-dwelling tribe, you'd think, cunning, manipulative, untrustworthy and Galaga doesn't stray far from that if you see her inner nature, if you find out the aftershock of her job. When you are to meet this young dragoness, however, you don't see this, never. A rather cheerful air always floats around her, it can't help but calm anyone, she shows innocence, no possible signs of deception or in any cases, a possible murderer. She's typically a happy character, a positive smile upon her snout, often times she has this certain joyous, happy go lucky outlook to life and is in most cases laid back. Pretty nice to have around, yes? Who wouldn't want someone like that, someone who cheers others up with her smile, but she can be an entirely different dragoness when she truly wants to. 
For, you see, underneath this mask of happiness is a dragoness who most certainly wouldn't mind killing dragons, although she's currently semi-unaware that the ink she uses is poisonous. While she may be able to do something about the many deaths she's caused, she doesn't care enough to actually do something about these deaths however. This supposed "dark side" of her doesn't actually exist too much, she can, in some ways, be a bit careless, of course and this may lead to some situations. Her mood can change quickly and unexpectedly, one moment she's happy the next she's completely lost it. While this is unlikely to happen, it is better to stay vigilant in her presence, you never know when she may suddenly stab you in the back (that is also highly unlikely since she's not prone to being violent even when she's mad). 
On other accounts, Galaga has... well a dark sense of humor, finding joy in dark topics, she'd probably laugh at death's face if she could. That seems to be the only thing she can seemingly talk about and due to her extroverted nature, she may just as well walk up to you talking about something completely disturbing, laughing merrily at everything she says. She's ignorant, that's a fact worth mentioning and additionally lazy. So much so, she refuses to pay her taxes, which has gotten her in a little bit of trouble with the government, but she still remains unconcerned about it. Probably because she forgets about it until they come knocking at her apartment door. In that case the SandWing yelps in alarm and fleas out the back door. Honestly, one can say she overdosed her procrastination skills, meaning she takes a worryingly long time to do even on simple task. 
Galaga, while incredibly lazy in her ways, really can be a nice friend to be with, although one may not agree with her lazy, happy-go-lucky lifestyle, she can make surprisingly good company. Sometimes, it's just nice to have a rather lazy SandWing around for the ride through life and she doesn't always talk about death like it's some sort of inside joke, she generally enjoys talking with others. It not only gives her an excuse to not go do something she doesn't want to do, it's also fun to just talk with a loved one about her problems or just talk with them in general. She may not be the best at humor, for it tends to go to the dark side, but she's positive, with a slightly mischievous smile on her snout and glint in her eyes.
She's quite affectionate towards those she's gotten attached to, mostly just her boss, to these dragons who have completely gained her trust are of top class. Galaga has tendencies to be a little bit clingy about them, much like her parents were with her. In other words, once she's given her affection to you, it's impossible to get rid of her gazing over your shoulders and additionally even more difficult to make her stop talking in your presence. It's a fine line between a curse and a blessing, while it's good to have her lazing company on some terms, it can be quite draining sometimes. Especially so if you're introverted and awkward in a conversation since that's one of the certain obsessions she has. But overall, it can be quite nice to have the determination-lacking dragoness around, if you ever so desire. She may be lazy, but she's a loyal companion.

*her apartment is a mess due to her neglect. she'll do anything to get out of cleaning it because she has to actively force herself to do simple tasks like clean up. usually doesn't bring people over out of a fear of judgment.
*sly and works smarter not harder. when she cleans up, she'll never pick up any of the decorations and just clean around them. with dirty clothes and such, she'll just shove them in a closet and calls it good.
*quite extroverted and chatty. likes socializing more than sitting around doing nothing. only keeps to herself when she's focused on her games.
*irs hates her for this one simple trick!
*likes playing pinball and arcade games in her free time... aka when she's slacking off. theres a pinball and a single arcade cabinet in the main area that she plays on.

*became a tattoo artist because she didn't know what the hell she wanted to do. art was always something she enjoyed doing, so she just did that. her only other passion was playing video games... but she had no interest pursuing that as a career out of the fear of loosing that passion.

*doesn't have a sad history, in fact she was quite spoiled and pampered during early ages and didn't seem to mind, of course this didn't really affect her personality as she matured
*kinda just in the middle, growing up her parents moved from the suburbs to the city nearby and settled in pretty quickly
*life was fine i suppose, galaga found her parents a bit too clingy and protective since she was an only child and they didn't know how to take care of a dragonet
*gets a good education at the academy and took a liking towards art, especially tattoo art and was like, "i want to do that too."
*now she just mooches off her parent's money, evades taxes and murders people.
 
T R I V I A
*was in original concepts going to be a sandwing / rainwing hybrid, however this was scrapped, a pastel sandwing is way more interesting anyway.
*most likely was originally going to be some sort of edgy murderer character, but she didn't really turn out that way from what is seems, which really breaks that murderer stereotype.
*has a few other original names, but they weren't used, i was unsure what name to give her at first, but it soon came to me.
*loves meat a lot, especially chicken and camel.
