== Description ==
A very deadly ruler and a very attractive dragoness, Empress Thunderstorm often wore mountain lion hides as well as necklaces and bracelets of big cat teeth. She had a particular fondness of lions, and often used them in her arena. She certainly thought of herself as very Queenly and Predatory. She was a deep blood red, with swirled markings of gray along her body similar to storm clouds. Her eyes were a fiery amber, and her claws were long, curved, and sharp. Her neck was long but not the longest ever, and her build was lithe, lean, and muscular. 
== Life ==
Empress Thunderstorm was born in 2430 ASE as Princess Thunderstorm, daughter of Emperor Stormfire and granddaughter of Emperor Sky. Most of her childhood involved her being spoiled and rich, and she served in her father’s military as an admiral, colonel, and eventually a general for a while before her father’s untimely death. She had gathered many supporters in her life, and those who did not support her, including some of her siblings, conveniently disappeared, or were arrested and imprisoned for random reasons. 
The War of the Five-Tailed River began very early in her time as Empress, and lasted for the rest of her life, which happened to be a grueling fifty years. She was very claws-on compared to other leaders of history, often suffering the same cruelties and harshness as her soldiers and leading charges into battles, often being the first dragon in a battle and the last one to retreat, which is likely why she amassed so many followers. 
The War of the Five-Tailed River saw the bloodiest battles of Pyrrhia to date. Early on in the war, Prince Heippos of the SandWings was captured. The relationship between Thunderstorm and Heippos is relatively unknown, but it is generally agreed that Thunderstorm became horribly attached to him and wanted to marry him. Heippos, fearing the future of his beloved nation and likely uncomfortable at the possessiveness of his unwanted lover, escaped Thunderstorm’s capture, causing her to go on an angry killing spree. 
Months after Heippos’ escape, Thunderstorm bore an egg that was likely fathered by Heippos. The dragonet who hatched was named Hepparion, or “Little Heippos” as Thunderstorm liked to call him. However, a few years later, General Firehawk, Heippos’ Fiancé, ended up being the one to deal the killing blow to Empress Thunderstorm in the final battle of the war, thus ending Thunderstorm’s life, and ending the Sky Empire and causing the rise of the newfound Sky Kingdom. 
== Aftermath of Death ==
After the death of the Empress, the empire fell into shambles. Thunderstorm had left no living heir to succeed her, with Hepparion succumbing to an unknown illness and dying by the age of three. After a few crusades for power, eventually the modern SkyWing royal family took over and established the SkyWings as a Kingdom instead of an Empire, merging with the CliffWings. The SkyWing royal family is believed to have CliffWing ancestry as well, but this as likely as not.
