Appearance
What are you staring at? I can't read minds, y'know.
Blackfrost, or more commonly known as just Frosty, is just another ordinary face you might or might not spot among the crowds - or at least, it would definitely seem so when it comes to her looks.
She's built no different than other IceWings, with a serpentine sort of body shape, sharp edges and only slightly above average height, she really is not anymore special than any other individual her age. Nothing about her size is incredibly impressive nor large to stand out, after all, Frosty is just slightly above the age of a barely adult dragoness. 
Some would argue that her coloration looks more SeaWing than IceWing, as her main, diamond-shaped scales are a bright cerulean blue, a much more vibrant hue compared to the paler shades commonly seen in the Ice Kingdom. Her back contains a row of darker greyish-teal tough scales which extend up to her nose. This color is shared with her wing spikes. Her underbelly is a very pale, washed out cyan. Her general outlook is a little unusual, but nothing particularly striking beyond flat colors. 
There are certain features about Frosty that are worth noting, though. The sharp IceWing spines on her back, for example, are unique in their patterned coloration, as they alternate between a dark, almost black indigo, and soft lavender, similar to that of a zebra's stripes. Her wings are slightly different than any other dragon of her tribe - instead of simply being a deep midnight blue, there are misty clouds of white swirling through the solid color, giving them the look of dark frosted glass. Oddly enough, all of her scales lack the reflective properties of other IceWings, and instead they seem to absorb light better, making her look less shiny in comparison. 
Frosty has greyish-azure horns, alongside a pair of light mint-green eyes. Her expression is usually indifferent, and she appears aloof and more often than not, tired. Depending on who she interacts with, she might appear approachable and friendly when she's around furry critters, but cold and distant when talking to another dragon she does not know. 
Personality
Why do I hate socializing? You're a pretty good example of why.
Many have said that Frosty's temperament is a coinflip - some have reported a kind but quiet IceWing that is very different from the stereotype, while some stray away from her path, claiming her to be just as icy as they were deemed to be by other tribes.
True to the textbook definition of an introvert, Frosty hates socializing most of the time, and would never be the one to engage in a conversation of her own. She only speaks when spoken to, and tends to keep her responses curt and straight to the point. Despite her insisting that her main reason is her unnatural distaste for most other dragons, she is simply very awkward and would not know what to say or do in any situation where she's not left alone. She has a tendency to behave very weirdly in context of social norms, and very often her odd mannerisms make everyone involved in a conversation with her uncomfortable. She also doesn't have the best record with meeting or talking to new dragons because of this.
Frosty would not admit it, but she often feels lonely and alienated because of her abysmal social skills. To be honest, she is terrified of her anxiety triggering and shattering the cold, icy exterior she keeps up to put others at a distance. Due to this, she refuses to open her heart up, and no one truly understands her. Most of the time, she makes up for this by showing her affection and softness to animals, creatures of the forest she can connect to, as she feels that they are much less judgmental and forgiving. 
That's not to say that she is cruel or horrid as a whole - Frosty is relatively kind and even-tempered to most, so the rumors aren't all wrong. She may express her displeasure vocally, but she would not ignore someone in desperate need of help. Surprisingly, she usually doesn't turn down any requests that are outright made to her, if they are within her capability. She has a surprising amount of patience if her mood isn't soured by other factors already. Frosty shows extra care and a rare side of empathy to dragons that she does manage to form a bond with.
No matter how stony she appears on the outside, Frosty is actually a very emotional dragon and tends to think with her heart and not her mind. While seemingly good at sorting out problems that aren't her own, she fails to make decisions when her own emotions are involved, because they control her more than she controls them. This can also lead to poor judgement on her part, as well as rash actions when she's under pressure. Frosty is prone to a decrease in performance when she has too much attention and heavily dislikes it whenever she's forced to be the center of attention. Due to her sensitivity, she loathes cruelty and unnecessary violence.
However, Frosty cannot escape the fact that she has a glaring flaw in her persona - due to her excessive lack of contact with other dragons, she gets extremely clingy to those few that she treasures in her life, and her jealousy often grows into much larger problems. It happens most frequently when she fears losing someone else, especially when there are other parties involved, and this sort of jealousy can result in bouts of uncontrollable anger in her. She is ultimately good-natured, and would never resort to violence for petty reasons, but a part of herself fears that she one day just might. Even in solitude, she often envies others for being able to have a less secluded life, and longs for society to see her as "normal" enough to be accepted.
The IceWing is smart and good with most practical facts, especially those concerning her profession and interests, but due to having an innate emotional side, she occasionally allows herself to daydream, mostly in matters pertaining to romance. Such a concept is almost alien to her, due to her isolation from most dragonkind, but she yearns for a partner who can understand and love her for who she is. Frosty would most likely hit you if you bring this up (not that you would know of it anyway), but she does have a fine collection of (mostly sapphic) romance scrolls and a few rare books that she managed to obtain throughout the years.
History
I most likely have the motivation to do anything... except getting out of my house.
In an era far from any wars or tragedies, a small IceWing dragonet was born in a central IceWing city named Winterfall. This dragonet was named Blackfrost, for her general dark colorings. Despite looking a little different, her parents loved her all the same. For the most part, she grew up physically healthy and was capable of most activities IceWings learned. 
However, in terms of personality, she had always been a bit of an oddball. Frosty (as she much prefers to be called), was awkward around dragonets her age, less talkative, and found animals such as seals and polar bears to be too cute to hunt and eat. She had little to no friends, and her school teachers as well as students found her weird, though she was still intelligent enough to pass her classes well. She had little to no friends at a young age, instead forming affectionate bonds with animals she frequently sees. 
Frosty was often ridiculed, teased and sometimes bullied by her peers for not "fitting in", forming a distaste for reaching out and talking of her own since a young age. She built up a wall of her own and mostly ignored dragons around her, eventually becoming desensitized to these hurtful comments. Her interest of animals, however, didn't fade, and she ended up deciding to not continue her studies in the Ice Kingdom, seeking out the Rainforest Kingdom to learn about their much larger biodiversity. This decision was much to her parents' dismay, who had sheltered their shy and seemingly socially inept daughter from the world and wished to continue to do so. However, their pushy tendencies managed to further convince Frosty to leave, and so she did, with reluctant acceptance and a sum of money enough to fund all her needs, from education to daily living. 
The journey out was not easy, though. Frosty's general lack of knowledge about self-sustain bit her back, when she failed to forage for food amidst huge snowstorms as she made her way out of the Ice Kingdom. To be brutally honest, she would not have even crossed the borders of her own homeland if it wasn't for a mystical, kind soul. An odd-looking dragoness that was quite similar to her own tribe, but clearly having a few differences. That dragoness was named Stardust. 
Stardust guided Frosty out of the raging snowstorm, offering temporary refuge. She was much kinder and easy to get along with, much more than any other IceWing she'd met in her life, so Frosty let her in past the icy personality she uses as her front, and they formed a friendship as they waited for the storm to pass. She even allowed Stardust to escort her on the right way out when she was ready to resume her journey. It was also during this time that she met another inseparable, feathery companion - a snowy owl she named Aurora, for that was what she saw in the sky the night she met her. The owl insisted on following Frosty, and being the lonely soul that she was, she immediately accepted. She bade farewell to Stardust and agreed to return for visits sometimes, once she had found her footing at her destination. 
In the Rainforest Kingdom, things were extremely different from what it was back there. Instead of being met with a challenging, condescending gaze of various IceWings at every turn, Frosty was instead assaulted with what she deemed to be an excessive amount of unwanted hospitality. RainWings and even NightWings were so much more warm and welcoming, and admittedly, loud. Things sometimes were too lively for the secluded IceWing, and because of that she has continuously tried to maintain the stony exterior from her past. Ironically, this ended up backfiring, as she made another bad impression of herself as the "grumpy and scary antisocial IceWing" of the rainforest. 
While her parents' funds were enough to pay her off for a pretty good education in biology in Fairy Grove, the only esteemed university in Tropica, the central town of the kingdom, Frosty still needed to work around to have a stable residence. She did that by performing odd jobs to secure herself a small treehouse, and it wasn't hard as an IceWing's ice breath were hard to come by usually. It didn't mean life was immediately easy though - her old problems resurfaced when she was treated like an outcast, less for her tribe but for her odd personality and her horrible skills when it came to communication. 
This cloud of loneliness was only dissipated when a friendly NightWing named Mala saw her sitting alone during lunch time, and offered to sit with her. She wasn't pushy nor too chatty, which piqued Frosty's interest and she didn't immediately shut down the attempt. Mala never forced the IceWing to respond or engage in any topic she didn't want to, instead starting out by telling her interesting, mundane things about her day, and eventually, she started responding to these little chats. Frosty was happy to discover their shared interest in biology despite being in a different class, and Mala revealed that she, too, had a bonded animal companion just like Aurora was to Frosty. She also displayed a similar kindness that Frosty admired, something she wanted to be herself. With that, she allowed Mala past her walls and made her first friend, ironically a friend from a tribe that had a rather sour history with her own (not that Frosty ever cared). 
Mala made Frosty feel much more at home, eventually letting their bond grow enough for Frosty to feel comfortable enough to visit her house and her companion - a white fox named Luka. Aurora didn't get along well with him at first, both protective of their dragon friends, but they got used to it. The animal companions learned to love and trust both Frosty and Mala, and so did the two dragonesses, who felt close enough to share and vent more personal feelings. 
Of course, from time to time, she still felt homesick, as Aurora was the only companion that she had a memory of when they were still in the Ice Kingdom. Her parents sent her letters frequently, and she always did respond at her own pace, but seeing how they were as pushy and overly protective as usual further strengthened her will to settle in her new home. Later that year, she did return to visit Stardust, surprised to find out that the odd-looking dragon had remembered and was waiting for her at the borders of the Ice Kingdom. Frosty enjoyed the little vacation to her cold homeland, but in the end, she felt comfortable returning to her new home in the Rainforest Kingdom, where she continues to pursue her dream of making a new, groundbreaking discovery in her field of interest. 
She's still working on a lot of flaws that she recognizes she has, though, but now no longer completely isolated, she's slowly getting there. But for now, Frosty is just this IceWing living in a town full of RainWings, usually found lazing in her admittedly comfy treehouse after she worked hard to earn it. 
Abilities & Weaknesses
Well, for one, I'm good at something you're not - shutting up.
Frosty possesses the abilities common to all IceWings - resistances to extremely low temperatures, bright lights, sharp claws and the deadly frostbreath. She has a very good sense of smell, and combined with her intutition, is usually her go-to for getting herself out of danger and recognizing traps. Her intelligence levels aren't the highest, but they are certainly above average. She isn't easy to fool, and often she is able to distinguish a dragon's intentions quite well. She uses her large amount of biology knowledge to her advantage whenever possible, and it helps that most animals are trusting and friendly to her.
However, Frosty is incapable of physical fighting, clearly not born with the muscle nor experience to do so, and she most frequently resorts to flight rather than fight techniques. She is an IceWing, and therefore does not fare well with rapidly rising temperatures or overly hot conditions. She is also prone to getting migraines and various sorts of muscle aches, due to her lack of exercise. The IceWing is naive of social cues and may even be inept in situations that she has never been in, mostly those involving using her voice without making herself look like an idiot. She is not very fast on both land and air. Frosty also has a poor short-term memory and can appear absent-minded at times.
Relationships
My number of imaginary girlfriends multiply each day.
Snowscape & Tundra: Frosty and her parents have a decent relationship - she acknowledges that they have taken care of her well in her younger years, and have never really forced her into anything she disliked, and thus she does love them like a daughter would. However, recently she has some complicated feelings towards how overprotective they can be, and the fact that they sometimes go too far into her personal space and invading her privacy. It's one of the reasons why she hasn't really planned to return to visit them yet. 
Aurora: The snowy owl is Frosty's closest companion, and is one that would never leave her side. While Aurora is unable to speak dragon, she has gotten incredibly good at communicating with Frosty and understanding her in return. She is drawn to the IceWing due to her kindness, and is the only one who knows her truest self - the one without her icy walls up. They sometimes bicker humorously, mainly through squawks on Aurora's side, but the two are best friends and are inseparable.
Stardust: Stardust was nothing but a random stranger she had met along her travels to her new home - if it weren't for the fact that she saved Frosty from her own impending doom. They bonded over their shared reclusive personalities, and surprisingly found a safe space in one another. Frosty chose to visit Stardust over her parents when she finally did return to the Ice Kingdom, clearly displaying trust to the odd-looking hybrid. She thinks that Stardust is a kind dragon that she could never repay, and she'd love to know more about her, but Frosty respects her privacy, just as Stardust had respected her own, and doesn't push much either.
Mala: She wouldn't admit it, but Frosty considers Mala her best friend, if she could even have one. The NightWing was much less secretive than her, but at the same time never crossed any boundaries and was able to make even silences between them enjoyable. She reached out to Frosty, so in the end, she reached back, and was rewarded with a steadily growing friendship. Frosty is eternally grateful to Mala for making her life at the Rainforest Kingdom less lonely, and is one of the few dragons she actually enjoys spending time with, having multiple shared interests. The IceWing also allows physical gestures of affection from Mala, which is an incredibly rare sight.
Quiescent: Frosty has a rather... interesting relationship with the other scientist, something that most outsiders won't notice apart from them being very coincidental birth twins and both being IceWings. Quiescent is almost the exact opposite of what Frosty is - much more sociable and having the charm that she knows she does not have, while seemingly lacking quiet introspection. They also often love to tease her and annoy her on purpose with harmless antics, and has many a times got the darker IceWing to swear or curse their name in threats. However, Frosty doesn't truly hate Quiescent, as she has shown her kindness and understanding, often extending help as they work in the same field. They also seem to balance out each other's weaknesses, and despite her finding Quiescent annoying, she also feels somewhat connected to her. At worst, Frosty regards their relationship as a joking rivalry, but putting that aside, she sees Quiescent as a trusted friend, and possibly even a family figure that has helped her improve in life. 
Iris: Iris is the resident bakery owner, and initially Frosty did not pay her much attention in her visits, despite admitting to herself that she had a real knack for making baked goods. Over time, she learned to appreciate her politeness, and the two quiet dragons have a mutual friendship after meeting each other at several community events. Iris is one of the dragons she does not mind sharing a conversation with, because neither of them come off as too overbearing, and despite Frosty being slightly jealous of Iris being in a loving relationship with two girlfriends, she still regards her highly.
