Impala the SandWing

I said I would update him more but I haven't <3 but I kinda miss the fandom so here I am. So enjoy ig. CW: self harm, sexual trauma xoxo
== Appearance ==
Impala has a large build, with thick limbs and large talons, but he has the appearance of someone struggling to make it on their own. His cheeks are slightly hollowed, his ribs show slightly, and his scales have a slightly too-pale tint. His scales are a light tan, which have a stark contrast with his (ridge/sail??) which is a wenge brown color. He has scars on his arms and legs from when he used to cut himself a lot, and one on his cheek from when he was a kid. He likes to wear a lot of jewelry, mostly silver rings, earrings, and such. 
== Personality ==
Impala is at his core a very social person. He's bright, and he likes helping others and making people laugh. He's had his fair share of hardships and mental health problems; he had to overcome a SH addiction and an ED, but he jokes about it a lot. He's not one to keep his feelings hidden, and he wears his heart on his sleeve. He tends to grow close to people very quickly and develop a dependency on people he really shouldn't. He overshares a lot and doesn't like being alone. He also has a weird relationship with romance and sex. He had a period in which he was allowing himself to be oversexualized by older men, and that's caused in him a dependency but also a dread of sexual gratification. xoxo go piss girl idk. leave him alone, he's speaking his truth. 
== History ==
When Impala was a really young dragonet his mom was killed by Burn's soldiers during a raid on her stronghold early in the war. Not having known his father, this left Impala essentially an orphan. With nowhere else to go, Impala found himself settling down in the SandWing settlement on the land which would eventually become Possibility. The next few years were those of scrounging, stealing, and fighting tooth and claw to survive. Burn cared about the territory, but not the dragons in it. Impala would eventually find solace in the few friendships he made, especially those of older dragons who had jobs and would help him out here and there. WIP
