Dawn Chorus

Dawn Chorus is a female NightWing and L1quid's OC.
==Description==
Dawn Chorus has black scales, amber eyes, and grey horns/spine/underbelly. Her wing membranes are purple, which have silver scales scattered on their undersides.
==Personality==
Before her escape from Pantala, Dawn Chorus was grateful that the HiveWings kept her alive. After her escape from the Pantalan labs, Dawn Chorus was very eager to learn about the (outside) world.
==History==
===Pre-Series===
Dawn Chorus was the only egg of Anima, a female NightWing who had washed up onto the shores of Pantala after getting lost from Pyrrhia. Because the HiveWings viewed Anima and Dawn Chorus as the second comings of Clearsight (since they did not know what NightWings looked like), Dawn Chorus' egg was taken from her mother, and Anima was supposedly taken somewhere in Wasp Hive.
She hatched in 5,004 A.S. into Wasp Hive, at dawn, and was subsequently raised by HiveWing scientists, mainly by Scarab, who was concerned about the young NightWing's wellbeing.

===The Lost Continent Prophecy===
====The Land Across====
Dawn Chorus was found by Bullfrog, Qibli, Tsunami, and Pineapple in Wasp Hive as Moonwatcher, Luna, Cricket, and Sundew confronted Queen Wasp in the Temple of Clearsight. The four dragons were surprised to see NightWings on Pantala, when they realized that the only way for NightWings to end up on Pantala was to be lost from Pyrrhia. Dawn Chorus was freed alongside C-2000 (a resurrected clone of Clearsight), some resurrected BeetleWing clones, and some genetically-engineered Pantalan dragons Wasp's scientists were working on. The entire group escaped Wasp Hive, but not without a price - Moonwatcher and Sundew were arrested by Wasp and were subsequently now used as the Hive queen's puppets, while Luna and Cricket were murdered by Wasp for "treason" (not being part of Hive society).
Dawn Chorus later flew to Pyrrhia and was beginning to learn about her native tribe (the NightWings), when Queen Wasp enslaved the under Dragon Planet under the Hive Mind. Under this society, NightWings were worshipped as gods, and some dragon species were seen as inferior or superior to other draconic species.
====The Flames of Hope====
While she does not physically appear in The Flames of Hope, Dawn Chorus was likely freed from Wasp Hive (alongside C-2000, resurrected BeetleWings, and genetically-engineered Pantalan dragons) after Luna severed the breath of evil with consent from Lizard's half-dead skeleton. She, alongside Wasp's unethical projects, likely fled to the LeafSilk Kingdom as refugees. It is likely there that she met Widesky, Sky, Todd, and Violet, and her journey to learn about her native tribe - the NightWings - began.
It is mentioned in the novel that all dragons are descended from a species of proto-dragon, which is strikingly similar to the (genetic) relationship between fire lizards and dragons in Dragonriders of Pern.
==Relations==
===Anima===
Anima is Dawn Chorus' biological mother, and her fate after being found by the HiveWings is unknown, even after the breath of evil was severed by Luna at the end of Wings of Fire: The Flames of Hope (2022).
===C-2000===
C-2000 is a resurrected clone of Clearsight and is one of Dawn Chorus' closest friends.
===Scarab===
Scarab is Dawn Chorus' foster mother, although Dawn Chorus was raised by HiveWing scientists. They have a good mother-daughter-like relationship, which is still maintained at the end of Wings of Fire: The Flames of Hope (2022).
==Trivia==
*Dawn Chorus was primarily named after the song Dawn Chorus by Thom Yorke.
*In the original (2021) reference of Dawn Chorus, she had white horns/spines/underbelly. In the new (2022) reference, she has grey horns/spines/underbelly, which L1quid felt was natural for a NightWing to have.
*Dawn Chorus was originally a replica of Clearsight, and was supposed to tie into some plausible consequences of resurrection biology. However, it was changed for her to be the only egg of a NightWing who washed up onto the shores of Pantala because of her design. The concept of a resurrection biology clone of Clearsight was reused for the character of C-2000.
*Scarab, a HiveWing scientist, named Dawn Chorus herself.
*NightWings - a "dawn chorus" is when birds sing at the start of a new day, an electromagnetic phenomenon that occurs most often or shortly after dawn, and a song by Thom Yorke; "anima" means "soul" in Latin, and is the name of an album by Thom Yorke; "C-2000" refers to Clearsight and how many years ago (two thousand years) she lived from modern Pantala
