==Introduction==
For days, all you've seen is desert. Endless desert. The winds are strong and quick, pushing you toward a direction that ended up slightly northwest. You, being a LeafWing who wandered off, didn't know what to expect, but kept trudging onward. After what seems like hours upon end, you see something else than endless disgustingly hot and dusty terrain. You see... block like buildings... and you hear... dragon like noises? She shake your head and look back up, to check if you're hallucinating. You're not. You bolt toward the town, noticing a few grassy patches in the desert and small ponds as well. You take a sip from on of them and continue running.
The dragons at the front gate eye you with suspicion and curiosity, but you ignore that, gazing at the town. The buildings are mostly square and rectangle shaped, some having domes for roofs and others being entirely circular. I must be hallucinating. This can't be possibly real! Your mind tells you, but you seem to not notice it, gazing at the various sand-colored dragons with odd barbed tails. There are other dragons too, most being hybrids. A few dragons have odd frills peeking out behind their ears with mud-colored splotches scattered all over their gleaming yellow scales. Others have pointed snouts with teardrop scales behind their eyes with various shades of reds and oranges for scales. 
"Ack!" someone says, falling backward and onto the ground. You realize you must have pushed a dragon over, and help them up.
"Sorry-" you say, embarrassed. So much for great introductions.
"Woah.." they say, looking at your scales. "I've never seen anything like you! Then again, I'm pretty rare myself- not to brag.". They continue gazing, gingerly touching your wing membranes and jade green scales. "What tribe are you from?"
"The LeafWings!" you say proudly. The dragon breaks out laughing, falling over on the ground again. This time, you don't help them up. "You do know what LeafWings are, don't you?" you say, tilting your head to the side. The dragon stops laughing and looks at you with an expression that says 'You're being serious?'. They get up, brush some sand and grass off their macaroni and cheese colored scales, and shake your claw. 
Well, uhm, nice to meet you... uh-" They start, clearly asking for your name.
"Oh- it's Kudzu." you say quickly, trying to prevent any more awkwardness.
"Well... Kudzu!" they say brightly, a small but welcoming smile forming on their face. "Welcome to Possibility! I will be your host AKA tour guide, the one and only, Redstone!".
==Appearance==
"Who, me?" ~ Redstone
===Build ===
Redstone is rather slim and bony, with her ribs slightly sticking out and her body being much thinner and smaller than a regular SkyWing or SandWing; this is due to her locking herself in her room without very much food until she completes an invention. She is rather small, being half an average SkyWing's height. Her wings are large, almost bigger than her, and her tail is a little longer than an average SkyWing's tail. Similar to SandWings, she has a habit of curling the end of the tail in, like a scorpion; making the tail look smaller than it actually is. Her horns are a little longer than SandWing horns. Redstone has plated scales along her spine, dull talons, and two small, permanent scars across her left eye. Overall, she has the body of a SkyWing with a few SandWing features (scale placement, horns, tail habit, etc.) here and there. Right around her forehead, she has a small chunk of a SandWing sail that she uses to hold her flight goggles. 
===Coloration===
Redstone has macaroni and cheese colored scales, with a unbleached silk-colored underbelly. The plated scales along her spine are chestnut red, fading to a dark sienna near the end of the tail. Her macaroni and cheese colored scales also fade to dark sienna around the tail, though it doesn't completely fade until the tip of the tail. Her snout is a more copper crayola color, that fades to the original scale color around the neck. Her horns are bole brown, the tips being unbleached silk. Also along her spine, she has two dark sienna colored lines that gently criss-cross over and over again until they reach the end of her tail. The lines start at the horns. In these lines, there are patterned, unbleached silk-colored spots that vary from big to small. Her eyes are a brilliant dark cyan, and her blood is a rust red. Under her eyes, she has thick, dark sienna lines that trail down to the tip of her chin. Her wing membranes are a dark sienna, the ends being unbleached silk-colored in a crack-like way. 
A ref sheet will be coming soon, though it may take a while, considering I'm better at headshots ;-;. I'm working on a ref rn, and I have the sketch of it down. 
=== Accessories===
Redstone is usually seen with oversized, copper-colored flight goggles, on her head, and ends up putting them on when she begins creating part of an invention. Back when she was a smith, she often had slight bags under her eyes with specks of ask and dust around them. She can also be seen (though this is less common because she prefers to do her work in private) with a welding helmet, with various scratches and burn marks on it. She prefers not to wear jewelry, but at times, will wear the occasional ruby or amber necklace. 
===Other ===
Redstone has a rather high pitched voice, though it can surprisingly go lower than most dragons. Her eyes are often tired, too; for she spends days and nights finishing inventions, and usually ends up sleeping for a week or so. She walks with a slight hobble in her step, mostly because of her enormous wings getting in the way of her talons. 
==Abilities & Weaknesses==
===Abilities ===
Redstone is rather smart, and can sense when something is a trap/trick. Her scales radiate a little less warmth than a SandWing's, but enough so it's noticeable. Her fire breath is a little warmer than most dragons, and can easily burn through certain things, and she has powerful SkyWing wings that make her a quick flyer. Her eyesight is very sharp, and she can look at things up to a good 2 miles/3.2 kilometers away, especially large structures. Because of her SkyWing genes, she does well in temperatures that are low, and she has sharp claws for gripping onto certain things. 
===Weaknesses===
Her wings are absolutely gigantic, being much bigger than her, which can get in the way of walking. Her wings also tend to easily annoy others, for she sometimes accidentally (sometimes purposefully) hits other dragons with her wings. Though she can withstand cold temperatures, she dislikes hot desert temperatures, and can easily get a heatstroke from hot & dry weather. Redd can get very stubborn, especially when she's inventing, and further more prevents herself from doing anything other than work, including sleeping, eating, even bathing. At times, she can get frightfully skinny, and most dragons consider it worrying and weird, not making her very popular.
== Personality==
"Mom nooooooo I'm in the middle of an invention and I can't stop till it's done!"..."What do you mean 'it can wait till after dinner'??" ~ Redstone
With dragons new to Possibility or just dragons she hasn't met before in general, she usually acts open and eager to meet others, not being afraid to go up and strike a conversation. She's mostly open to all topics but can sometimes get distracted by other things when the conversation isn't about something she favors, though she tries her best to stay on topic and eventually work her way to her favorite things. Dragons who are quick to judge her would most likely choose the words upbeat but sometimes rude. She sometimes does brag, but usually notices and stops before the conversation becomes all about her. She loves both asking and getting questions, and tends to pull a newcomer's leg by tricking them; if she sees an opportunity. Deep down, she has a desperate need to fit in with others, especially because she's a hybrid, which is why she goes out of her way to exit her comfort zones, and she actually is a little more introverted than extraverted, though she doesn't like others to think so. 
When she's with dragons like family or close friends, she tends to be more collected and doesn't get distracted as easily. She's curious and a bit nosy about what the others are doing, which can get annoying, but she only means the best. Other than that, her personality is still very similar to when she's dragons she doesn't know, though she tends to be a little more quiet, especially when it comes to inventing something. When she is inventing something or wants to reach for a certain goal, it's pretty hard to pull her out of it and get her to focus on something else. Sometimes, just to get something finished, she'll lock herself in her from for hours- even days upon end, until it's done. When she does let herself see the sun after a week of staying inside, she becomes a little rusty at conversations, but easily gets the hang of it again after a day or two. She becomes more 'herself' when she's around dragons she knows. 
In the most general way to put it, Redstone is usually upbeat and open, though does have a tendency to be a bit rude. She's inventive and loves thinking of new and difficult problems to solve. When she's inventing, she becomes more introverted, locking herself away till the project is done. 
==History==
===Hatchling===
Redstone hatched in the SkyWing Kingdom a little before the DODs hatched, around 4,999 AS. While SandWings and SkyWings were allies, they didn't really support intertribal relationships with their allies, so most saw Redstone, Yama, and Kudu as odd. They lived in a quiet, small hut around the edge of the Sky Kingdom, near the spot where Sanctuary is. But, a good 6 months after Redstone's hatching, they moved further into the Sky Kingdom for Redstone's education. Redstone quickly accelerated in school, though did have trouble with talking, and Redstone often had to come home late because of detention. Her teachers began to see some potential in Redstone, and had a conference with her parents about furthermore expanding her knowledge and moving again, though this time toward the SkyWing Palace. They reluctantly agreed. 
===Young Dragonet===
By the time Redstone turned 3, she had learned most of what was needed to survive, and rumors began to spread about her intelligence. Eventually, this rumor was passed on to one of the SkyWing generals, who used her knowledge to test her and see if she would be good for battle purposes. She eventually, at the age of 4, got a job as a blacksmith apprentice, the general wanting her to invent armor that was fire resistant. Though this was a lot for a dragonet, she tried her best until the first set of fire-resistant armor was complete. The general was delighted with the results, and continued to tell Redstone to make more. Redstone had never really liked her job, but at the time, the general was able to manipulate her into doing so by threatening her with the death of her family, friends, and entire tribe if she didn't do her work, and praised her so she felt confident and kept doing it. But around the age of 6, after 2 years of making armor, she decided to stop once and for all, despite the general's pleads. Her father (who was rather outraged) began having fights with Redstone and her mother. 
===Old Dragonet===
As an older dragonet, she began to take more notice in the things happening around her, including her father's cold behavior towards her, her sister (who had become trans a few years prior), and her mother. She tried to make him happier by giving him presents and/or talking to him politely despite his harsh words back. Eventually, when she was 7, her father became more distant, and then left a few days before Redstone turned 8. Now, alone with her sister and mother, they stayed in the Sky Kingdom for a little, but for the better of everyone, began making plans for moving once again, but this time permanently. Her mother found a spot in Possibility up for sale; Redstone and Xinc meanwhile invited their family to live at the new place in Possibility too. When Redstone turned 9, they officially moved out and set off for Possibility, picking up family members as they went along. They made it to Possibility in late winter, and began renovating the place to fit their family. Xinc got a job at a mine nearby (she was 14 at the time), and began working there, using the money she brought home to help finish the home. By the time Redstone was 11, the house was completely finished. 
===Teen===
As a teen, she began exploring the streets of Possibility, finding a few good nooks and crannies here and there. She also began to start her hobby; inventing. Through the process of blueprints for a glider she was to make for wingless dragons, she met Camelopard, a lonely SandWing from Burn's stronghold, who had previously been part of the war. Camelopard being 15 and Redstone being 12, Camelopard thought he was 'better' than her, and continuously got into fights with her when she tried to open him up. After a month of hanging out, Camelopard cracked, and became a little nicer, keeping most of his fierce and judgmental personality though. After planning the blueprints for the glider, she began the process of locking herself in her rom for a week, possibly more, growing skinnier and skinnier each time. Her mother began to worry that she was fading away, and therefore became a little more controlling with her daughter, telling her to eat more and/or give Redstone dinner while she was inventing. Redstone saw this as annoying, but didn't think on it much either. When she turned 14, her invention was complete. She gave it a test run with Camelopard, and the glider worked- well, sort of. It ended up crashing into a building and shattering to pieces. But Redstone continued to work on it.
===Current===
Redstone currently still lives in Possibility with her mother, sister, grandparents, aunts, and cousins. She is still working on her glider, though it is in the process of being complete. She is currently 15, her sister Xinc being 18. She currently has no love interest. 
==Relationships==
"Oh, you think this parade is crowded? Wait till you come to my place, my sister, mother, grandparents, cousins, aunts, they all live there!" ~ Redstone
Redstone is currently open for relationships!
===Family===
<tabber>
|-|Xinc=
Xinc is Redstone's trans sis (hatched as male). They are both very similar in appearances, the only difference being Xinc's neon scarlet bands on her forearms and tail barb. Their relationship is rather positive, for both look out for each other and help each other out, though every now and then they can get into an argument about Redstone's invention process and Xinc's job, but in the end, they are very close. Because Xinc works at a mine, she often brings home scraps of metal or coal for Redstone to use on her next invention.
|-|Yama=
Yama is Redstone's SkyWing mother, and their relationship is mostly positive. Yama doesn't exactly approve of Redstone's inventing career, but she lets Redstone do it anyway, at least until she becomes Xinc's age. Redstone loves her mother a lot, but can also find her annoying, for Yama tends to peek in on Redstone's inventions after a couple days without dinner to make sure she hasn't gotten any skinnier. When Redstone was younger, Yama was a little colder towards Redstone, having to deal with the constant fights between she and her husband.
|-|Kudu=
Kudu is Redstone's SandWing father, but unfortunately, the relationship has darkened over the years. When Redd was young, her father and mother would have certain arguments, and Kudu always thought Redstone and Xinc were 'wrong' and 'shouldn't exist'. That being said, her father usually ignored his daughter and spent time in his study more, until one night he left for good. At first, it was hard for Redstone, mostly because she still loved her father, but as she grew older, she realized he left for the best. Her father comes to visit every now and then, but around those times Redstone usually goes into her room to work on a draft of a new invention. 
</tabber>
===Camelopard===
Camelopard came to Possibility with his parents around the time of Escaping Peril, having fought in the war. At first, he was hard and cold to other dragonets, thinking he was better than them for fighting in the war, but then he met Redstone on his way home. Redstone didn't really mind his hard exterior, and tried to get him to soften up by showing him around some secret places she liked. Maybe after a good month or so of hanging out with Redstone, Camelopard did begin to soften, acting generally nicer, but keeping some of his fierce personality. He doesn't really appreciate Redstone's hobby as much though, as he sometimes gets dragged into dangerous experiments with some of her new inventions. They are currently on good terms.
