Queen Funnelcloud

Inspired by an old friend's oc))
Queen Funnelcloud was a female SkyWing who was involved with the SkyWing Throne Dispute and one of the two rivals during the SkyWing Civil War. Funnelcloud was seen as the most likeable and slightly more intelligent than her violent older brother General Harpy. Although she did not become Queen of the SkyWings, she became Queen of the IceWings after Queen Crescent and her family were imprisoned. She is known for also declaring no IceWing, especially a relative of Crescent, can rule their own Queendom. Funnelcloud was also seen as one of the pettiest and grudge-holding leaders, but also one of the purest among them. She had adopted a few dragonets during the dispute for the throne and wanted to raise them with Quing Tidal.
She died around the age of 100 in the Jade Mountain Palace. 
==Description==
Queen Funnelcloud had beautiful, lush red scales with tougher, darker ruby red scales on her arms and along her spine. She also had bright green eyes that were highlighted with scarlet markings etched in her horns since hatching. Her horns were fairly straight and average-length and had a red tinge, as well as smoky colored tips. According to Crescent, her claws were the same color and unusually long. Crescent also stated that Funnelcloud had large talons and even larger wings. Funnelcloud also had a quiet and stealth stance, which matches her personality, as well as the curves that proved that she was a successful hunter. 
The edges of Funnel's wing membranes were bright red and had unnoticeable tears which suggested that she was not as pristine as she often appeared. Funnelcloud ever since the SkyWing War had a stressed and tired facial expression that would quickly erupt into anger if she was very displeased, with fidgety talons and tails, and an underbelly and spikes that matched with similar colors. 
Funnelcloud always wore glasses that was made with the finest, most advanced glass and the purest gold, which she would sometimes swap in favor with silver, rose gold or gem-studded glasses depending on the occasion. She also wore a black medium-sized pouch filled with rare finds or deadly weapons, as well as a bracelet made out of pure turquoise with gold lining which was gifted to her from her mother. 
==Personality==
Queen Funnelcloud was raised in a more private, relaxed and accepting life for a royal. Funnelcloud has always had extreme social anxiety while growing up, and often had her older sister, Rose Quartz, speak for her publicly because her fear of public speaking was immense. Funnelcloud was known to form bonds and have strong opinions of dragons or things immediately after meeting/seeing them. Funnelcloud also was very petty and took many things seriously. 
Funnel was somewhat spoiled, having many things when she wanted it, but was also made to work for certain things as well by her mother. Funnelcloud was fairly disciplined, however there have been cases on her being mad about her not getting the things she wants, specifically things she was promised. Funnelcloud never made promises unless she knew she could deliver them, and Funnelcloud was a loyal friend. Similarly to Queen Crescent, she often connected and related to dragons rapidly if they expressed similar interests as her, and easily became emotionally attached to dragons.
Funnelcloud loved to share her knowledge, culture and things she found interests in with her friends, even though making them was quite difficult for her. The SkyWing was also known to have an aggressive demeanor in her adolescent years, snapping and lashing out at dragons occasionally and swearing a lot. However, this stick to her, and she was more likely to have an outburst (Which was uncommon) if she was under stress or pressure, like most dragons.
Funnelcloud took a lot of things from other dragons, and she held grudges often. However, Funnelcloud was rather forgiving, especially in her later years, and became apologetic as well. Funnel prefers expressing her anger through sarcasm, subtle gestures and insults under her breath. She often does this if someone bullies her friends as well.
The SkyWing also had generous, reasonable goals and was a pacifist for most of her life. She believed if a dragon such as Harpy would kill many dragons and try to start wars over the throne, they should never have any type of power. Funnel was also for attempting to eliminate many social hierarchies and treated everyone outside of family equally. Funnel was kind to those who met her and looked up to her and was also a cooperative dragon in most cases as well. She would also be described as very regal.
==History==
Note: This takes place in the 5,900s-6,000s AS. See here for a clearer timeline.
<tabber>
|-|Pre-Hatching=
Before Funnelcloud existed, Queen Garnet had Rose Quartz and Harpy. Queen Garnet did not let the two form a bond with each other and kept them isolated for most of their lives aside from formal events, dinners or if they were visiting somewhere. Queen Garnet loved her dragonets equally, and wanted a few more, although Funnelcloud was her last one. Funnelcloud's egg was well kept and guarded, however very lonely. Harpy, who already hated Funnelcloud, tried burning and destroying Funnel's egg, although thankfully Rose Quartz was able to stop him.
Funnelcloud hatched and was immediately scared by Harpy, who terrorized her and hurt her from a young age whenever given the chance. However, their mother, Queen Garnet, did a decent job at keeping all three sisters isolated for most of the time. 
|-|Dragonethood=
Funnelcloud, as a dragonet, was always nervous and extremely introverted. She had the expectation of 'normal princess' pushed on her ever since she showed signs of a 'not-normal princess' personality. Growing up, Funnelcloud was fairly spoiled and given things without having to work for them, however, was often made to do things herself and was very paranoid from a young age because of her older brother Harpy.
Funnel was given the least amount of attention and learned to be slightly more independent from her mother and sisters. Upon learning that animus magic has returned to the IceWing tribe, all the dragonets in the Queendom were to be tested for animus powers, however at different times and places. Funnelcloud, as well as her siblings, were among the first to be tested, which confused yet worried Funnelcloud about the possibility of animus magic in the tribe, although they were thankfully not animus.
The princess was known to be very anxious within the palace, with the least public appearances compared to her siblings. She did not have any special "OMG YOURE SO AMAZING" type talents, however enjoyed reading and writing poetry. Her mother, Queen Garnet, often tried her best to accommodate for Funnel, by having her show up to royal events and meetings in secret, teaching her things in private, and even letting Rose Quartz publicly speak for her. Despite this, Funnelcloud still would not fit into the 'normal princess' mold that was set up for her by her mother.
Funnelcloud, by the time she was almost fully grown, was much different than most dragonets her age, and if anything, fit the mold for a stereotypical SkyWing in the early 5,000s. Her mother eventually had her enrolled in Jade Mountain Academy, which Funnel had extreme mixed feelings about.
|-|Jade Mountain=
Funnelcloud went to Jade Mountain Academy alongside her tribemates, including a friend named Robin. Queen Garnet flew them to the academy, where she watched over Funnel for the first few days while there were no classes. Queen Garnet didn't care much for Funnelcloud's interactions, and dismissed Funnelcloud to do whatever, which was sitting around in the corners.
A young IceWing student bumped into Funnelcloud, annoying her, and avoided her for the rest of the first day, having a particular dislike for this IceWing student for some reason. Both of them were members of the Gold Winglet and were eventually assigned clawmates. They eventually got along, and became friends, bonding over their hobbies and similar personalities.

==Relationships==
<tabber>
|-|Garnet=
Funnelcloud and Garnet had a complicated relationship. Garnet gave Funnel's siblings more attention despite the fact Funnel, as the youngest, needed it most, especially as a dragonet. However, despite this, Garnet treated Funnelcloud much better than any regular SkyWing. Garnet liked keeping Funnel and her siblings separated and tried stopping them from forming any bond and was upset when Funnelcloud did have a bond with Rose Quartz. Funnelcloud also slightly envied Rose Quartz for being the oldest, which Garnet shamed. However, the Queen was willing to accommodate for her daughter Funnel, by overall hiding her from the public and asking Rose Quartz to assist Funnel in speaking. Garnet would also read to Funnelcloud at night and would defend her from other dragons a few years before her death. Garnet was also concerned for Funnel's well-being, and also signed Funnelcloud up for Jade Mountain Academy because she was desperate for Funnelcloud to be 'normal'. Overall, their relationship was rocky, but Funnelcloud still loved her mother. 
|-|Harpy=
Funnel and Harpy hated each other from the moment that the concept of Funnelcloud existed. Harpy was always violent and hateful, and hated Rose Quartz enough. However, some, if not most, of that hate went to Funnelcloud since day one. Harpy had even tried to burn Funnel's egg, and Rose Quartz stopped him. Funnelcloud grew up in fear of Harpy, and Harpy's cruelty shaped Funnel's personality and perspective of the world, and Funnelcloud used Harpy's torment to help justify her silence. Harpy always took advantage of Funnelcloud, and only spoke to her formally if he wanted something from Funnel. Their relationship was parasitic, and Harpy tried fulfilling his dreams of killing his youngest sister when their mother died, showing how awful their relationship truly was.
|-|Rose Quartz=
Funnel and Rose Quartz were close with each other ever since Funnel was young. Despite their mother's disapproval of their bond, Funnel and Rose Quartz often worked together and got along. Since Funnelcloud was extremely introverted, Rose Quartz often took the role as Funnel's public speaker regardless of others saying she was weak. Rose Quartz was frequently concerned for Funnel, which she was grateful for, because of Harpy. Because of Funnelcloud's existence, Rose Quartz and Harpy hated each other more than what they would have, which constantly made Funnel feel bad and apologizing to Rose Quartz while Rose Quartz said everything was okay and Funnel didn't have to be worried. Rose Quartz would often defend Funnel from Harpy and those who supported him, and when the SkyWing Civil War happened, Rose Quartz was the first to defend Funnel despite presumably being the next in line. Funnel was very fond of her oldest sister, and they had a positive relationship. 
|-|Wallcloud=
|-|Mammatus=
|-|Rose Gold=
Rose Gold's and Funnelcloud's relationship is mostly diplomatic. However, Rose Gold thought that Funnelcloud was never fit for the throne and wanted an actual IceWing to take the throne, which Funnelcloud held against Rose Gold even in her later years of life. Funnelcloud also cared for Rose Gold more than the average SkyWing because Rose Gold was family, even though they didn't know each other like an average family would. 
|-|Tidal=
Ever since they were dragonets, the two were very close and eventually had romantic feelings for each other. Unfortunately, due to Tidal having to lead their tribe and Funnel having to occasionally hide from time to time, they didn't have much contact, although they loved to see each other at formal events. They were very respectful towards each other and promoted respecting other boundaries. Their relationship was very healthy and loving, and when Funnelcloud died, Tidal died of a broken heart not too long after.
|-|Queen Crescent=
Funnelcloud absolutely hates Crescent, and that feeling is returned by the former IceWing queen. Funnelcloud was under the impression they were dating, and when Crescent was actually dating Reindeer, this is where the hatred formed. Funnel claimed Crescent was a cheater, and this led to a spiral from there. As the two got older and their lives progressed, such as Crescent having dragonets and going through a decline, Funnel was always open about hating Crescent. Crescent becoming queen, annexing parts of the Sand Queendom and leaving the tundra was enough to warrant Funnelcloud to wish to kill Crescent with her own claws.
