Copperice

=== Appearance ===
Copperice is a pale, PALE gold dragon, appearing white. She has an underbelly and eyes the colour of dusk, and dusky swirls on her horns and face. Her wings resemble an orange-and-purple dusk, with stars just starting to twinkle.
== History / Backstory ==
Copper was born on the shores of Pantala to two dragons called Pine and Nectar. Pine had washed ashore many months ago and Nectar had been keeping him alive, eventually having a dragonet with him. They named her Copperice and intended to raise her in Phyrria, in Pine's home of the Ice Kingdom, deeming it safer than Nectar's home, the Hives. However, they were caught as they tried to fly off by Nectar's sister Lanternfly. Pine and Nectar were killed and Copperice's egg was taken to Wasp Hive to hatch with Lanternfly as a guardian. 
However, Lanternfly was careless and Copperice's egg was stolen one night by LeafWings, who intended to train her into an assassin to use for their own gain. She hatched in the PoisonWing village and had to earn everything she got- as a half-HiveWing she was far from popular amongst LeafWings. 
Regardless, Copperice became a fine LeafWing assassin, going by the name Copper. She enjoyed her job very much and befriended a fellow hybrid, Sakura, a RainWing-LeafWing hybrid. Sakura was incredibly knowledgable when it came to plants and often supplied Copper with the best poisons, giving her the water hemlock that allowed her to kill her aunt Lanternfly. But Sakura, knowing the malicious RainWing queen well, had told Queen Jungle of the powerful assassin, and Jungle wanted Copper's skills for herself. Using a valerian plant, Sakura kidnapped Copper and took her to Phyrria, where she woke in the Rainforest. 
Queen Jungle treated her fairly but firmly, making sure Copper was well taken-care of, but being perfectly clear that Copper was not allowed to leave. Copper's first assignment was to kill the IceWing guards on the RainWing border, which she accomplished easily. Prince Abyssal, an IceWing prince (the nephew of Queen Glisten) told his mother of the new RainWing assassin's talent, as well as something he'd observed- her spiked tail, and frostbreath. Queen Glisten realized at once that she had to be a hybrid and sent Prince Abyssal to retrieve her. Eager for a reason to leave the thankless and cruel Queen Jungle, as well as traitorous Sakura, Copper went with him willingly. Taking up a position in the First Circle, Copper worked tirelessly for Queen Glisten, and grew close with Prince Abyssal. Despite this, Copper longed to be sent on missions more often and needed a reason. 
Just for fun, Copper used her frostbreath on a random SandWing she saw walking near the border. The blast proved fatal. As Copper hurried to hide the body, she found a tiara lying by the victim's head and recognized the colours of gold and aquamarine at once- this was the SandWing princess, Antelope.
She was still frozen in shock by the body when an old dragon came up beside her. He was tall and made a clacking sound as he walked- he was purely the skeleton of a dragon. He introduced himself as Canopic and explained that he was an animus who'd made himself immoral, but not invulnerable and had decayed overtime. He wore a gold amulet around his neck bones. It had an aquamarine gem (gold and aquamarine being common colours in SandWing jewelry, clothing and art, to represent sand and water) and the gem pulsed, drawing him to dead dragons, so he could collect their souls. Canopic demonstrated, bending down and cutting open Princess Antelope's chest, slicing into her lungs and drawing a wisp of bright blue smoke, which he placed in a crystal jar. He agreed to keep Copper's murder a secret and pulled his brown cloak on, vanishing.
Copper returned to the Ice Kingdom, but it was only two days before Queen Sandstorm sent her son Prince Ferret to report that they had reason to believe an IceWing had killed Princess Antelope. Queen Glisten denied this, and Queen Sandstorm waged war.
Copper was kept busy, killing SandWing after SandWing, before Queen Glisten got too daring and sent her after Prince Ferret. Confident, Copper went after him, but misjudged his intelligence- he'd set up traps outside his room incase Queen Glisten sent her infamous Copper. 
Copper, despite her caution, triggered one of Prince Ferret's mechanisms, which sent a heavy metal net down upon her. The clanging woke Prince Ferret at once, who dashed into the hall to find Copper. 
Copper was taken to Queen Sandstorm, who had her thrown in the dungeons. It took much painstaking work, but Copper managed to puff out enough frostbreath through her nostrils that her jaw clamps snapped off and she was able to freely use her frostbreath- and, of course, her teeth.
