PROFILE FINISHED:
SAT SEPT 17 12:03 AM
Velvet is a 43 year old Middle-class HiveWing who hatched in Wasp hive. She is currently employed as a Jeweler at Jewel hive.
== Appearance ==
Velvet has Rufous red scales that shine from being polished so much. Her underbelly is a dark sienna. She has black stripes, and glimmering light green eyes. Her wing membranes are a pale yellow. Her tongue fades to white at the end.
Her spikes look like a solid black, but are in fact very dark green. You can only really see the difference up close.
She has no glasses, but has a silver band around her neck.
She has strangely dull-ish claws. Contrary, her teeth are very sharp.
Her stare has been told to cause significant distress for no reason at all. 
== Personality ==
Velvet has a calm yet eerie presence, she doesn't talk a lot, but she stares. She's been reprimanded many times by her boss to stop freaking the customers out. Her eyesight is bad, but she refuses to get glasses. She is ignorant and stubborn in these regards though. She is self conscious about herself, mostly her personality. She's motivated, but only if it benefits her. She is independent, and this stems from her mother neglecting her. She is also quite humble, but likes receiving positive attention.
== Abilities ==
She has venom in her teeth.
== Backstory ==
Velvet hatched in Wasp hive to her mother Bess. Velvet hatched when Wasp ruled as queen, although she did have SilkWing ansestors, she had none in the past... probably 6 generations. So she was affected by Wasp's mind control poison.
Her mother Bess was neglectful, and always left early in the mornings, and came back late at night. Velvet almost never saw her mother, and her mother Bess didn't like Velvet for some reason. Whenever Velvet tried to talk or hang out with her mother, Bess would push Velvet away and leave to do 'work'. 
Opposite to that, she was always popular with the other HiveWings at the school she was in. Because her mother didn't give her the attention that was given to her at school, she ended up being addicted to it. She received the attention far more than what it actually was. this led to her ego being larger than her, and her disregarding anything else.
When Velvet was 7, Bess basically left Velvet. No longer did she come 'home' often anymore, usually staying home for 30 minutes out of the whole day, all day, every day. This was around the time where Bess became more 'irritated', instead of just pushing Velvet away and making an excuse to leave, she would yell at and argue with Velvet. Velvet felt almost completely abandoned by Bess, and this led to Velvet depending more on the attention received by her peers. 
When Velvet turned 12, Bess suggested moving to Jewel Hive, as she'd gotten an offer to work for a dragon named Feather-wing. Velvet agreed, but only because she had issues finding work at the time(After all, leeching off of your mother you hate and then leaving sounded like a solid plan to Velvet.) 
But she didn't expect that she'd go into withdrawal because of the lack of attention, she was so accustomed to it, being in a place where no one knew her destroyed her slowly. She was no longer able to be confident anymore, without any dragons giving her compliments or paying attention to her 24/7. She managed to adjust, albeit slowly, but she could never shake taking compliments for more than what they meant off. 
Around this time, she found her mother sending letters to an unknown dragon, and she read it, it was apparently very 'sappy' and 'gross' so whenever she gets a greeting card like that, she cringes. She was never able to find the right time to leave, and ended up just living with Bess, which she describes as the worst moments of her life. 
When Bess died from unknown (and slightly suspicious..) circumstances, Velvet felt like a weight had been lifted from her shoulders. Although there was no one for her to leech off of anymore, she felt like she was able to at least function in society. 
She had many odd jobs, and could pay the rent just fine, but it seemed like she could never hold an occupation for more than 4 months. She eventually settled on being a Jeweller, and currently works there. She is not in love with anyone, and does not want any dragonets.
