Black-Ice

Black-Ice is an adult female MortarWing.
* ice skater and performer
* i love the idea of ice skating being an extreme sport with the mortarwings, similar to skydiving, because of its involvement with water
== Intro ==
You have heard of her. Everyone has heard of her. The wild, carefree young MortarWing who has the guts to try ice skating, a sport rather frowned upon by the tribe for possessing an underlying danger of drowning. Even more outrageous? You, a teenaged MortarWing, are planning to sneak out with your best friend and watch her next performance without asking your parents. Not that they'd say yes anyway.
The two of you leave one Saturday night. Sneaking out of the forest, and to Possibility where you heard the event would take place. It's winter, and the city is cold enough for ice to form on the river. You fluff up your fur as a cold blast of air hits you.
The waters leading to Possibility are indeed frozen, and you sigh in relief, knowing that something quite incredible will take place tonight. 
After a wait to buy tickets, a brief minute of annoyance as you realize you missed the best spots, and after you and your friend eat a brief and late dinner, you settle down and look at the stage expectantly.
She's here before you realize it, her movements smooth, graceful, and well practiced as she slides onto the ice. The simple light blue translucent fabric cape around her neck shimmers like ripples on water, and her thick pelt doesn't get in the way of her moves, rather highlighting them by blowing flat against her body in turn with the wind.
As her audience, you included, gawks at her impressive performance, her tail flicks. Ever so slightly. That tiny tail flick is enough of a signal, and two burly MortarWings, hefting heavy axes, race out onto the ice and smash it into pieces, each no bigger than an adult dragon's wingspan. Then they fly out of the way.
You all gasp, but Black-Ice is perfectly calm, even trying for a small smile. She bunches her back legs underneath her and leaps onto a small iceberg, then exaggerates her previous moves to move from one to the other. Her expression is as nonchalant as if there is still no danger of falling into the river and falling down into a watery grave. 
You realize you are partially covering your eyes with horror, and remove your talons. This is clearly part of the dragoness's show, to add another thrill. As she finishes up with a bow, you stand up and give your idol a round of thunderous applause.
Black-Ice's ice blue eyes crinkle and gleam as she grins, satisfied with a day's work.
== Appearance ==
The first thing you'd notice about Black-Ice is her blue highlights.
There are those that are natural --- her icy eyes, the cobalt sheen to the leathery part of her wings, as well as her black patches that shine blue when faced with light. But it's worth noting that Black-Ice took advantage of this natural blue and mixed it into her acessories. The accessories themselves prioritize simplicity to beauty, so the way she dresses may not be as fancy or as expressive as her tribemates. Yet she does have an unique style --- it just takes a while longer to appreciate. 
The way the skater normally dresses is with a thin translucent blueish veil wrapped around her neck and fixed in place with thin gray ropes. All four of her ankles sport thick metal bands, each with two large aquamarines set inside. Aquamarines are her main gig, and a few hang from the ropes tied loosely round her neck as well.
When not performing, Black-Ice is as expressive as any other MortarWing, and typically wears clothing associated with hexagons, her favorite shape, or the deity Frost Zircon.
As for the coloring of her fur, it's a mix of black, cream, and roan. The roan comes in two shades, and is arranged on her body in such a way that one might believe that it's her main color. In reality Black-Ice is simply black and cream with really large patches of roan.
Black-Ice sports her trademark blue-black coloring on her feet beyond the ankles, with sparse patches on her sides. Her tail is entirely black, except for the bushed out fluff on the end, which is cream. There are exactly four cream colored rings on the tail itself, though extra dark fur growing on top partially cover them. A rather popular affectionate nickname for her is Skunk, for the unique pattern on her tail. Black-Ice's mane and the main parts of her wings are lightly colored as well. As for the mane itself, it's gently combed down until smooth instead of bushing out for practical reasons.
The roan on her body is obvious. There is the lighter roan, of cloudy skies and beach pebbles. It encircles the black and cream, contrasting with its darker counterpart to create a pretty rippled effect. And the darker roan, of wet sand and fish scales, working somehow as the main color even though the others take up far more mass.
Black-Ice's fur is usually smooth and presentable, due to a natural straight-furred growth and a quick combing with some essential oils each day. It's much denser than the average MortarWing's, this with a resistance built up over time helps her to continuously perform in cold climates. She can often also be seen with headphones to protect her ears from being frostbitten.
She is plumper than average, though most of her at-a-glance 'obesity' is due to her thick fur. Often her expression is teasing, almost surprised. Her eyes are her most famous trait, and are rumored to be hypnotizing - indeed, most who have celebrity crushes on her put up pictures of her eyes.
Those eyes have a story behind them.

* Black-Ice's favorite dish is beef and garlic meatballs. Though she can afford the finest cuisine, she takes the most pleasure in this simple appetizer.
