White Claws

Owned by BronzeRattle
"White Claws" is the name given to an adult IceWing-NightWing hybrid seen sporadically around the Ice Kingdom. Her mysterious occurences and unexplained assassinations have made her the subject of IceWing legend, crowned as the "legend of fright" in the famous poem "White Claws Plight". Her true residence is unknown.
== Description ==
White Claws is an IceWing that is almost entirely very deep blue, the color of the night sky. She has striking white on her casque, as small crescents under her eyes, and on the tip of a single spine down her neck. Her teeth, wing claws, and front claws are equally white with not a hint of wear or battle. White Claws has bright blue ear insides. She has scattered white scales near the edges of her wings and tail tip
While very hard to see, her eyes are dark purple and reflect cyan.
White Claws appears to be the size of a typical adult.
== History ==
Practically nothing is known about White Claws's history. Anecdotal and written recordings on a "dark IceWing" have existed for decades. One anonymous author pinpointed these as part of one individual's doings and invented the nickname White Claws.
She has killed various IceWing royalty in the past. IceWings speculate as a result that she could be working for the NightWings or a secret organization.
Unknown murderers and clean kills are often informally nicknamed after White Claws.
=== Fanon works ===
(Not canon to the Bronze AU!)
White Claws is one of the invited guests in Silent Death by Rainycloud55 (Glo).
== Personality ==
Her personality is unknown. From dozens of sightings, she can be concluded to be highly secretive, exclusively appearing at night. She is most often reported as a blur or face in the woods in encounters. White Claws is renowned for killing IceWings in seconds when no one else is looking by slitting their throat and does not seem to use weapons. It's unknown why she kills seeing that many victims are high profile. Civilians are hardly ever killed. No one has ever witnessed her kill.
== Abilities ==
=== Firebreath ===
Firebreath is the only reliably confirmed ability White Claws is known to possess, through a few reports of scorch marks near murders and on the victims. Since so few murders have them, it can be concluded that she prefers not to use fire. One author has proposed that the murders that did have them are because she struggled to kill her target.
=== Unconfirmed ===
There are endless unconfirmed abilities reported. One of the most common is invisibility—IceWings that saw her and tried to chase her have said that they couldn't find her after a turn or blink or enough distance. Others include immunity to frostbreath, not making talonprints or noise, superspeed, and walking on water. Some have proposed that White Claws is an apparition.

== Trivia ==
* The name "White Claws" references her claw color and also that her white claws would likely be the last thing someone would see before being killed.
** She is the only OC with a space in their name.
** She is also the only OC to exclusively use a nickname not coined by the OC themselves. Its format is meant to mirror the way Paradox Pokemon are given names by researchers after significant characteristics (e.g Great Tusk).
* White Claws was invented by a glitch. In Talons of Destiny on Roblox, the colors for my IceWing OC Verdigris bugged out after an update and became entirely black except for the casque and claws. I couldn't play the OC in-game unfortunately, so in protest I decided to make the glitched IceWing an actual OC.
* White Claws's back leg claws were formerly darker because they looked too bright as white in the reference.
