appearance
when you first see blazing star, you see a mix of gold and flames. a brightly colored sunset paints their wing. their body is dappled with the slightest hints of bronze, and their frills are a grey color. blazing star is slim and small, and graceful. Usually their eyes are calm, and not another emotion shows through them.
some dragons are intimidated when they see the flame-colored rainwing. some don’t bother to think about it. a rainwing’s a rainwing, right? right.
blazing star has sort of large wings, so they can be mistaken for a skywing. though this is not the case, blazing star dearly wishes that they were even half skywing. or even a quarter.
of course, being a rainwing, blazing (the nickname they prefer to go by) does not only stay that color, but usually prefers to. 
personality
generally calm, blazing star seems to not be surprised by anything or bothered by anything. they don’t show much emotion, but sometimes a hint of sadness or amusement glints through their eyes. blazing star is curious, though doesn’t show it, and generally isn’t one to react to being called names.
most of the time keeping to themselves, blazing doesn’t like interacting, unlike most rainwings. blazing star isn’t generally rude, but overall prefers to stay inside and is unnaturally quiet. They, on the inside, worry way too much about things that shouldn’t be worried about. 
if you stayed with blazing star long enough, you would notice how determined and brave they are on the inside. well, that didn't happen until they saw the skywing. 
sometimes they even mention how they were born into the wrong tribe. 
history
they had a pretty normal life. decently normal. they had a close friend named cherimoya, who supported them. blazing star was more talkative around them, mostly because they trusted her.
some dragonets thought that blazing star was weird. for neglecting to talk to dragonets. for staying away from others. honestly, blazing star didn’t care that much. at least cherimoya didn’t think that they were weird.
eventually, blazing grew up as that weird rainwing who barely changed their scale color and didn’t talk that much. not that it mattered much to them.
once they turned 7 years old, they started to open up more to non-friends, though very slowly. they still are quiet and reserved today, but not as much.
that‘s when they met the skywing.
blazing was out exploring the outer ends of the rainforest. feeling bored and very much curious, they decided to map out the outer area of their kingdom. they had been out for about a few hours.
not very far away, some wing flap noises sounded.
quickly, blazing star turned to look up.
overhead, there was a large majestic red dragon, flying gracefully above. the funny thing was that the dragon’s scale color almost matched blazing’s at the time. after racking their brain for ideas on what tribe the dragon was, they realized that it was a skywing. they continued to watch the graceful dragon soar through the sky, with their large wings and their flame-colored scales.
every day after that, blazing star wished to be a skywing. they read about skywings, they learned how to fly (quite professionally, one would think), and hoped all day and night that they could at least be one for a day.
looking back at all this, the current 11-year-old blazing star laughs about this childish dream.
but still, they wish that that dream could come true. 
relationships
cherimoya - positive: cherimoya is the kind of dragon blazing trusts. she’s friendly, also quiet, and understanding. she is one of the only few that even believed blazing saw that skywing.
dapple (mother) - neutral: blazing is not necessarily in a great relationship with their mother. it’s not that they don’t love her, it’s just that... the two of them are distant. 
trivia
* blazing star is named after the blazing star flower
* despite the flower being purple, i thought it would be fun to base the colors more after the “blazing” part in blazing star
