"When we lose the right to be different, we lose the privilege to be free."~Charles Evans Hughes
Not the shiniest, nor the most colorful, a RainWing catches your eye. Rounded, yet slim, she appears to be average weight and build.
Her wings are small for her size, but are still normal enough. Your eyes drift to her talons, and you notice that they're nearly perfect crescents. 
The dragons placid, smirking expression seems to be directed at you, and her electric blue eyes pull you in, and you lose yourself in the sea of bright color, the only on her body, you notice.
As you walk closer, you see that her main scales are a rather boring shade of dark lilac, dull and drab, and she doesn't have the shimmer like the rest of the RainWings. 
Her underbelly scales are large and smooth, intersecting perfectly, and a shade of periwinkle blue that you wouldn't think would go well with purple, but it does.
As you keep studying the dragon, you see that her spines are dark lavender, more purple than her scales, but still not bright. They are rather large, and some are curved at the top.
A light breeze starts to blow, and her large, powder blue ruff waves in the wind, the webbing puffing up. The spines keeping it rigid are only a slightly darker shade than the ruff itself, giving it the appearance of just a flap of web.
Your eyes drift yet again, landing on her rather large horns, which are a shade of blue similar to her underbelly. They are quite thick, not like others, and have an incredibly thin tip that looks like it could break off.
Moving downward, you see that the ring of accent scales around her eye, and on top of her head are dark purple, but with red and brown undertones, giving them an interesting color. Again, they look like they would not fit with her other colors, but together, they do.
Her very large, circular accent scales are this same shade, and you see that the ones on her lower legs and tail are rather ovular, another unusual thing about this dragon, but certainly not the last.
Your breath catches as she flares her wings, stretching, revealing a magnificent royal purple membrane, yet still dark. They appear perfectly smooth, no creases or wrinkles, a sign that this dragon flies alot. 
A beam of sun interrupts your awe, and shines one the three glittering gold hoops in her left ear. They are lovingly polished, round and glossy.
She turns her head slightly, and the sun moves off the gold and onto the three glittering amethysts embedded by each eye. Their deep purple is the only bright color besides her eyes, and you wonder why you didn't notice it earlier.
You want to get a better look, but the crowd closes around her, and the dark lilac scales of the most interesting dragon you have ever met are covered in the normal colors of other tribes, smuthered forever.
>> Personality <<
"To be alone is to be different, to be different is to be alone."~Suzanne Gordon
A whisper, a ghost, a seed in the wind, most don't stop to even look at her. 
Shunned for her differences by the RainWings, and hated by the NightWings, Elegance often has no place to go. She exists on the edges, in the background.
Before Inkblot's death, she was an extrovert, laughing and chatting with anyone she saw, and constantly being surrounded with dragons like her. 
After he was gone, and Elegance's scales stopped changing their colors, all these friends drew away, leaving her to choose between hanging out with dragons who didn't like her, or to be lonely. She chose lonely.
With all this free time, Elegance devoted herself to writing. She had tried it with Inkblot, the two of them creating the funniest tales. But that was the past. This is the future.
After about three years of writing, Elegance became quite good, but she knew no-one would respect her talents. So she worked harder, staying up well past dark, her quill scratching along the scroll, the inkpot drying up.
Inkpots reminded her of Inkblot, and it felt good for it to seem that he was with her, guiding her quill in some spiritual way.
Elegance stayed like this, existing on just a few threads, for a good chunk of her life, nearly her entire childhood, and it was starting to look like that would be her life. 
But then she met Ray.
The clumsy SeaWing brought out Elegance's inner spirit, filling in the shell that used to be her life. 
She discovered how to laugh, how to talk, how to have fun. The two of them are happy together, and even though Elegance doesn't feel attraction, she still loves him all the same. 
Pursued by SeaWing guards across the continent, they must find a new spot to go every few nights, leaving Elegance with quick reflexes and a habit of startling and getting startled. 
She has become a shadow again, but no longer the shell that was her childhood form. This shadow of her is perfectly fine with her life.
>> History <<
"The greatest griefs are the ones we cause ourselves.~Sophocles
Born a normal RainWing dragonet, Elegance grew up doing all the things that RainWing dragonets do. 
She met Inkblot when she was two, and the two of them became fast friends, going over to each others houses quite often. 
Then one day, while they were out tree gliding, Elegance spotted a huge, blue butterfly, and called to Inkblot, who was ahead of her, to look. He craned his neck to see, and proceeded to run right into a tree with a sickening 'snap'.
Elegance discovered his broken, lifeless body on the forest floor. The cause? Broken neck. Heartbroken, she carried Inkblot home and faced his parents.
They flew into a rage, spewing fire everywhere, nearly burning their own house down. They almost killed her, and Inkblot's mother, Blackscales, gave her a large scratch on her forearm, faded over time.
Elegance couldn't sleep that night. She felt weird. Like guilty, and angry, but calm. Her scales matched her feelings, and little did she know that they would stay like that for the rest of her life.
When she discovered that she couldn't change her colors, her mother called the healer to take a look. Trauma. He said. They might go back over time, or they might not.
They never did.
At the age of 12, Elegance finished school, for she was decently smart, and decided to leave. The rainforest had nothing for her, and she wanted to see the world.
She roamed for about three or four years, exploring all of Pyrrhia, when she decided she needed a break, and headed for somewhere calm.
She came to a quaint coastal village, mostly SeaWing, but with other tribes as well. Elegance considered living there, and was looking for any houses up for sale when she saw a slightly chubby, green SeaWing, being mobbed by everyone. 
Curious, she came up and watched as the people bowed, and cheered. A burly guard came up behind him, and shouted All hail Prince Ray!
Elegance liked this Prince. He seemed modest, and looked uncomfortable with the crowds. Trying to slip away multiple times, he finally did, and shuffled off. 
Elegance saw him again in a few days, without the guards, sitting in a small garden. She came up to him, and the two of them started talking. 
Minutes turned into hours, and hours turned into days. They grew to like each other, and that garden was where they met often. Life was taking a turn for the better.
Ray wanted to get away. He hated royal life, and wished that he grew up normal. He wanted to leave, to go somewhere far away, and Elegance agreed. She would go anywhere with him. 
During her travels, Elegance had found numerous town, caves and places where they could live, but no-one expected that they would be pursued. Apparently, Prince Ray was the Queen's favorite, and she wanted him back.
Now they weren't going to find somewhere better, they were fleeing. Neither of them wanted to kill the guards, so they hid well for a few days, then moved on to another spot. 
Flying across Pyrrhia every few days is extremely taxing on the mind and body, but even so, the two of them still get along perfectly fine, better even. 
Elegance desperately wishes that they could just live their lives, but Queen Coral won't give up.
Some things are just not meant to be.
>> Relationships <<
"I tend to live in the past because most of my life is there."~Herb Caen
>> Kiwi | Mother | Positive
Kiwi is the standard mother to Elegance. She does everything parents need to do, but not really much more. Elegance still likes her though, even if she isn't very helpful.
>> ? | Father | Neutral
Elegance never knew her father's name, and never knew him either. He died before her egg hatched, but apparently her mother didn't care, so he must not have been that special.
>> Inkblot | Friend (deceased) | Positive, neutral
Inkblot and Elegance have always been friends. They used to play together for hours on end. But then he was gone. His death caused her to lose all her friends, but she can't blame it on him. After all, it was her fault.
>> Ray | Love Interest | Extremely positive
Goofy, clumsy Ray brings out the child in Elegance, and she thanks him for that. The two of them share many secrets, and go places most dragons have not even heard of.
