Shifty

Shifty is an ArachWing. He is cyan with a light blue underbelly and dark blue markings, with black splotches on his body. He has yellow eyes and smiles all the time, due to his bright personality. He wears a brown pouch filled with labeled gemstones. Due to a special... mutation... he was born with, he has the ability to shapeshift by touching specific stones. For example, copper turns him human.
Due to ArachWings not having their own page, I will describe them now. They are long dragons with an extra pair of tiny arms on their neck. The arms aren't that useful, but can sometimes help when climbing. They also have four horns. They often have splotches of black and dark colors all over their body, and have lost the antennae from their SilkWing counterparts. Some of them are born with moonsilk, a sort of flamesilk that doesn't make fire or light, but reflects light from other light sources and intensifies them. Mutations are common in ArachWings, due to the unstableness of the new tribe. It is considered a new tribe because many different families have lead to ArachWings, causing it to become an official tribe.
Shifty was born while the Pantalan tribes were in a state of recovery. At this time, many of the tribes did not tolerate each other, but 2 years after he was born they relented, and ArachWings became more common. Shifty was quite smart, and often getting into things he wasn't supposed to. Because of the state of recovery, there were no active schools running, so Shifty had nowhere to get an education, which means he taught himself using the plants and information from older dragons. Over time, he started experimenting with different rocks he found on the floor. He would grab them and look at them. He felt tingly upon grabbing some of them, and his friends were sometimes shocked when he grabbed a specific rock and couldn't understand him.
He stole an old mirror from the hive ruins, and found out that when he grabs some specific rocks, he can actually shift into animals. Over time, he started spooking his friends with this ability until the time he almost got eaten. He had a pouch professionally made for him, and labeled the stones with leaves and pencils. He had a whole collection of animals to turn into, including those weird reading monkeys his mother was so much into. 
At the age of three and a half, strange dragons (WITH TWO WINGS :O) started arriving at Pantala and flying back with other dragons he knew. Eventually, one of those dragons took him, his mother, and his father. They hopped from island to island until they arrived at a strange new continent with these weird plant structures with leaves on top of treestuff (he thinks). The place was beautiful, but they landed somewhere very cold. They kept flying until they arrived at a town called Possibility. His family came, too.
His parents almost immediately signed him up for Jade Mountain Academy. It took a year for him to be registered, though, because the Dragonets of Destiny still had to set up spots in the winglets for the Pantalan tribes, but eventually he was taken in. He first entered shy, as he was to meet all of these new dragons, but eventually he got used to it, and began to make friends. He made friends with a HiveWing named Mosquito and and an ArachWing, who's name is Tarantula.
