Trust is a dragoness who was never supposed to exist. A dragoness who was forbidden, but loved. Given away with care, to a family her mother hoped would care for her. A family that did. An unusual family for an unusual dragoness like her, a hybrid of two tribes who were once locked in a fierce war of pure hatred. A queen who had let go of the past in a way that her unknown family never did. At first, she was met with shock and horror. Many wanted her gone. Then, she showed the kind dragoness she was inside, and she was accepted by the most unlikely family, and given power she would never have in the family she hatched into. Often, she passes by the dragoness who hatched her, a dragoness who stares at her in wonder, proud of her daughter, while she smiles at her, oblivious.

You may not love me, but I care for you all!
Trust doesn’t fit in with anyone in her kingdom, but that doesn’t matter much to her. She has the head of a NightWing attached to the body of an IceWing, and the proportions don’t fit together perfectly. Her spines are entirely NightWing, and don't build up by her neck like an IceWing's do. Still, she manages to pull off a regal air, her head held high, never slouching. She has a dainty body and head shape, one matching a princess. She manages to pull off an air of kindness and power at the same time. Her claws are serrated and sharp, a gift from the mother she never met. 
Her scales are quite out-of-place against the icy blues and snowy whites of her subjects and adoptive family, a mix of four different colours, three of them shades: black, white, and grey. The fourth colour is purple.
The top of her head, her back spines, and her horns are all a smooth, calming silvery-grey, with the exception of three white spines near the top of her snout. Such a bland colour, but it's perfect on her scales.
The bottom of her jaw is bright purple, as well as her wing membranes, but there the colour is mixed with ice blue, swirled together with an appearance like a painted canvas, and the colour can be found flecked on her wingframe. Her top scales are actually a bright green.
White is found on her soft underbelly and tail spikes, soft and smooth, the colour of a full moon at night. You can find black next to her eye, along with the other three main colours, and on her talons.
Her mainscales alternate between these four colours, all the way down her body, ending at white on the ends of her IceWing tail. Her eyes are a dark olive green, filled with love and care, matching the smile on her face.
She wears a small silver crown while in public, a marking of her position as the queen's daughter.

Listen, what matters right now is you, not me
There are a limited amount of dragons in this world whose intentions are pure, but in the glittering royal palace of the Ice Kingdom, there's a princess with a heart of gold. This princess is named Trust, and no one has ever had a more accurate name than her.
The princess is both highly trusting and highly trustworthy. In the case of the former, it doesn't take much to earn her trust, although it's nearly impossible to regain it if you break it. She believes that everyone deserves a chance, although a second chance is not always deserved, and third chances almost never.
She's accepting of all, especially being an asexual demiromantic hybrid. She's willing to listen and talk to everyone, from her mother, the queen, to a lowly peasant. She knows her parents, or at least the IceWing, are out there somewhere, and one day she hope she can meet them and thank them for helping her have such an amazing life.
In the depths of her heart and soul, the princess is a truly good, innocent dragoness who wants almost nothing but to have everyone, hopefully herself included, accepted by the society that once despised anything remotely different. She strives to be a good dragoness, and for the most part she succeeds. Leading causes like the United as One movement, designed to push for acceptance for those who don't quite fit in, and to help them.
She knows the world isn't black and white. Growing up, she learned from her mother and sisters that it isn't so easy to always choose the right option. No one is definitively evil or good, no decision has zero consequences. She's forced herself to learn to compromise, blend two options or choose one and hope it's the right one. She knows she can't always do the best thing for everyone, something that tears her apart.
Trust wants equality and harmony, much like her mother, a dragoness who pushed her hardest to destroy the hatred of other tribes among the IceWings. She feels hurt by the fact that it's truly not possible to make others accept those that are different, and that there are just some dragons that will never change.
Although her intentions may be pure, Trust isn't perfect. Sometimes, power gets to her head, and she finds herself with thoughts that she doesn't want, not quite able to stop herself from feeling better than others for her royal status, when really she could have easily been a regular dragonet, and grown up marvelling at the royals just as the others marvel over her. Yet although she tries to stop herself, sometimes she can't help thinking such things.
Still, this is often beaten down by her self esteem, lower than you'd expect, coming from the slurs and hatred that she received even as a small dragonet.

:History
----
It's time to make a difference in this world
Trust is a princess with an interesting story, one much more exciting than those of most. This story started before she even hatched. Her mother, an IceWing, had been travelling when she met a kind NightWing. Her mother came from a family that still despised the tribe, but she gave in to his charm and spent a few nights with him. Eventually, the guilt of going against her family's values took over, and she ran away from him.
Some time after her return, she realized she was pregnant with his baby. Terrified of what she had done, she hid it from her family for as long as possible, and had the egg in private, with only the healers and her knowing of the hatching. Once she had the egg, she knew she had to get rid of it before it hatched. Not because she hated her dragonet, because she feared what her family would do if they learned of her having an egg with the enemy. She wished she could just leave it to a random family, but she had no way of knowing whether or not they were like hers.
So she placed the egg in a basket with a note reading Dearest Queen Frostbite, please take care of my dragonet, and laid it on the palace steps, then disappeared into the night. She did have some fear, but she knew the queen was kind and didn't hate NightWings, so she had faith her egg would be okay.
When the soldiers discovered the egg, they were confused, but they delivered the egg to the hatchery regardless. She was one of the last to hatch, and when she did, it was a surprise to everyone, for what emerged from the egg was a NightWing head, not that of an IceWing. The tiny, newly-hatched dragonet didn't know what all the ruckus was about. She didn't know how surprising she was.
Some soldiers thought she should be put up for adoption, but the queen silenced them all once she saw the dragonet who hatched. She told them that they needed to put their past behind them, and held Trust just as she would hold the dragonets she herself had hatched. It was exactly as her mother had hoped.
She grew up in an odd situation. She was accepted by her family, at least most of them, and a large amount of the population, yet there were still dragons that despised her. The soldiers would find vandalism around the palace walls. Huge letters that read kill the hybrid and other horrid things and slurs, painted in bright colour for all to see. The poor dragonet grew up to a confusing mix of powerful love and strong hate, giving her some issues with self-esteem early on in her life. She was loved by so many, but the hate was what stood out, what she really noticed. Every time she saw those painted messages, she wanted to throw up.
Nearly all her sisters cared for her, but none more than her eldest sister, Shards. Despite being the one that would likely one day challenge her mother for the throne, Shards was sweet, kind, and always made her feel better whenever she heard or saw something that hurt her. Shards didn't care about appealing to the small amounts of dragons that actually hated her sister. She openly expressed her support, something that pushed Trust to have higher self-esteem.
Once she realized her sexuality, she came out to Shards first, as she was the family member Trust had the most faith in. Next, she told her adoptive mother, then the rest of her family. The queen was completely accepting of her sexuality, but decided, for Trust's safety, to hide it from the rest of the kingdom. A hybrid princess caused outrage, surely a LGBTQ+ hybrid princess would cause even more. Trust was assured that her sexuality would be totally respected within the family, and this was not an attempt to snuff out who she was. She believed this.
She began to visit different parts of the kingdom with her mother and father, where she noticed the discrimination and inequality of the bigger towns, and even the tiny ones. Having experienced some of her own, this was something she wanted to deal with, but she didn't know how to do so. Eventually, after some brainstorming with her sisters, she brought the idea for an organization that could help make things more equal across the kingdom to her mother, the queen. She proposed a few names, and the one they chose was United as One.
It seemed things were going to go smoothly. Maybe they would have, if it weren't for one sister, a sister with her late great-grandmother's opinions and beliefs. Her name was Polar Bear, and she hated Trust. Hated her for being a hybrid, but especially for being accepted as one. Polar Bear made it her mission to torpedo the organization. She disrupted communication, spread horrible lies about it, and just tried to never let it happen. Luckily, her efforts failed.
The organization grew, and her mother appointed her the leader. The letters they had sent to town leaders had brought many members to their first meeting, which was simply a meeting for those from more forgotten towns to pose their ideas for a better system, which she and her board (a few sisters) gladly listened to.
Overtime, the group began to solve some issues themselves, and push for the queen to help with the issues they couldn't solve alone. Dragons started to care more for Trust, and she began to visit the towns alone, where she would both give and receive gifts from the towns' leaders, who were grateful that she cared about them.
She could have been thrown out of the castle all those years ago, forced to live on the streets. Instead, though, she was welcomed by a queen that didn't want to repeat the past, and wanted to pave a bright future, a future she's helping to pave. Maybe not everyone likes her, and yeah, maybe that hurts sometimes. A lot. The dragons that love her make up for that, and she's grateful for the life her parents allowed her to have.

Mother, thank you for taking me in
Queen Frostbite: Trust loves the queen like she's her biological mother. Frostbite could have easily asked for her to be thrown out into the streets, but instead she took her in and raised her as her own. She takes Frostbite as a sign that the IceWings are changing for the better, and is eternally grateful for the kindness, acceptance, and love she shared.
Cryogenic: Cryogenic didn't play as big of a role as Frostbite in Trust's life, but he was still her adoptive father, and he still spent a lot of time with her. She loves his deep, warm voice and his deep belly laughs. The support he's given her has helped her through hard times growing up, and she loves him too.
Shards: Shards is Trust's eldest sister, and her favourite. She's so kind and protective, and has stuck by her when none of her other sisters have. Instead of being jealous that her mother loves Trust so much, she's happy for her, as much like her mother, she wants to be more accepting. She's likely going to be the one to challenge Frostbite, but she doesn't act like it, which Trust loves her for.
Polar Bear: Polar Bear has always hated Trust, due to her shared views with the late Queen Glacier. She seems to have made it her mission to destroy everything Trust comes up with, and therefore the hybrid despises her. She's the only sister that Trust hates completely, as all the other ones are at least a little accepting, whereas Polar Bear likely wishes she was dead.
Parents: Trust has always wanted to meet the dragons that hatched her, but she knows she likely never will. She wonders which parent it was that gave her to the queen to take care of, her mother or her father. She always searched for one of them in the crowds, even though it's probably in vain.
