Calcine

Calcine is a SkyWing fireless belonging to TyphoontheMonsoonWing. Do not use without her permission.
== Appearance ==
Calcine has very pale orange-gold scales that appear almost white in moonlight. Her eyes are a pale violet-blue, and she wears two knife sheaths on her forearms. Spattered across her back and wings like paint are burn scars that make it slightly difficult to fly. She holds her wings up to try and hide them often. Her voice is quiet and she sometimes wheezes and coughs.
== Personality ==
Calcine is secretive and silent, only revealing information about herself to those she trusts deeply, including Shiro and Anubis. She is very pyrophobic, edging herself or jumping away from fire. She is cynical of any plan that she feels has a high chance to go wrong, which is most of Anubis's plans.
== Biography ==
Calcine hatched as a twin egg with her sister, Sangria. The SkyWing queen, pitying them and their mother, ordered Calcine's mother, Ciel, to flee the kingdom with them. Ciel responded that she would leave only with Calcine, as Sangria's firescales made her impossible to take with her, and Ciel disliked having a dragonet that could kill her in her sleep. Calcine was raised alone with Ciel and told that the SkyWing queen, Queen Tephra, had murdered Sangria when her firescales were revealed. When Calcine was four, however, it all changed. Their home for four years had been a wooden hut in the savanna between the SkyWing and SandWing kingdoms, making them harder to locate as there were many kingdoms that weren't the kingdom Ciel fled. A new queen, Tephra's daughter, Pyrope, approached Ciel and told her to surrender Calcine to her or else both would perish. Ciel refused, and Queen Pyrope ordered her new "weapon", Sangria, renamed Phoenix, to land. The long grass caught fire, and Ciel ran, followed by Pyrope and Sangria, and leaving Calcine in their now burning hut. As Calcine attempted to escape, she was trapped by a falling beam, hence the burns on her back and wings. She would have died if it wasn't for a pair of dragonets, who pulled her from the fire but not before Calcine sustained permanent scars. When Calcine awoke in Anubis's home, she thanked the dragonets, who told her it was nothing, and that anyone would have done it. Calcine then wondered why Ciel hadn't rescued her, before introducing herself to the two dragonets, who told her their names were Shiro and Anubis. Calcine asked if they could help her find her mother, to which Anubis responded he saw three SkyWings pass as they approached. Calcine was convinced one of them was her mother, so attempted to follow the directions Anubis gave her. Shiro stopped her, saying she was too injured, and that she needed to heal. Anubis then revealed that this was Queen Jojoba's palace, and that Calcine was now a guest of the SandWing queen. Jojoba, renowned for her kindness, cared for Calcine, and she grew up alongside Anubis, the son of one of the cooks, and Shiro, who was also a rescued dragonet. When Calcine was seven, she became Jojoba's record keeper, and began to search for any information about Sangria or Ciel. When she heard of a SkyWing champion who burned through any dragon they touched, Calcine knew it was the strange dragonet she'd seen the day of her injury. She, Anubis and Shiro went to check it out, and, upon discovering it was Sangria, Calcine confronted her, asking what happened to her mother. Queen Pyrope was surprised and angry, but she masked her emotions, saying how lovely family reunions were. Before Calcine could ask further questions, Queen Pyrope locked her and her friends in the dungeons, where Ciel had been kept for the last eight years. Ciel was shocked to see her daughter, so shocked she revealed the truth about Calcine's sister, how she'd left her with Queen Tephra. Calcine then asked why Ciel left her to burn, to which Ciel replied that she believed Calcine was killed in the fire. Calcine's faith in her mother was shaken, but before she could ask anything else, Sangria emerged from the shadows, saying she was going to let them go. What Queen Pyrope had been doing to Sangria was wrong, and Sangria wanted a proper life. Calcine, Sangria, Anubis and Shiro went free, and, while Sangria also burned through Ciel's bars, they left her to find her own way out. Sangria returned to the SandWing palace with them, and became Jojoba's bodyguard. Calcine had what she wanted; closure for her injury, and a family that truly cared for her. That was all she ever wanted.
== Relationships ==
=== Ciel ===
Calcine loves Ciel, and knows she would mourn her if she was dead, but Calcine also resents Ciel for leaving her to die and keeping Sangria a secret from her.
=== Anubis ===
=== Shiro ===
Calcine cares about Anubis, but she loves Shiro. When she and Anubis pulled Calcine from her burning home, Shiro breathed frostbreath on Calcine's burns to keep them from getting worse.
=== Queen Jojoba ===
Calcine owes Jojoba for giving her a new home, a life and a family. She considers herself an honorary SandWing, and would never betray her new queen.
=== Queen Pyrope ===
Calcine doesn't do enemies, but if she did, Pyrope would be one of them. She knows it was her that caused her near death, and her who controlled Sangria.
=== Sangria ===
Calcine has an odd feeling of both love and fear when she's around her sister- like she's simultaneously remembering hatching with her and burning while her eyes followed the strange coppery dragon. Calcine would never do anything to make Sangria feel unwanted or feared, however.
