Pawn, when compared to the rest of the dragons at her school, has a rather underwhelming appearance. Snowy white scales cover her body in similar fashion to snow covering the ground in winter. They shimmer in the moonlight, having a certain luster to them. A slush grey underbelly accompanies her white main scales. Much like her scales, its sleek and not much else. The only signs of her SandWing heritage is in her furry mane that goes down her back in a jagged fashion. This said mane is much more prevalent on the crest of her head, being much showier and big. Her mane remains a cold cobalt blue.
The tribrid's eyes are much more of a focal point and show up more than even her mane. Pale red fills her eyes, with a paler, almost pink, pupil that are cat-like slits. Freckling the bottom of her eyes are slush grey luminous patterns, similar in color to her underbelly. Though an observant person may note that they are slightly lighter in contrast. Curved silver horns protrude from the back of her head. Curving in an upward arc at the beginning and ending with a slight curve upward. These horns aren't very long and don't stray far from the back of Pawn's head.
Her ears, in which are pastel blue on the inside, are often decorated with black plug earrings. These, much like her eyes, stand out like a sore thumb as they contrast from her bright color palette. Tucked behind her right ear is a pastel orange flower. While its velvety petals are mostly this said pastel orange, at the base is a darker coloration. This is one of her only possessions that is connected to Kestley and she therefore wears it in her honor. Decorating her tail are three spines that don't really look like icicles, rather like the latter. Wings spread out across her back and are a dark cobalt or light navy coloration. The texture of her wings are rather leathery.
While wiry and thin in build, she is far from graceful or elegant. Yet she's plump enough to not look malnourished. Most of this said plumpness is seen in her legs and tail rather then in her body. Pawn's legs are considerably long or at least long enough to make her a little bit hard to overlook in a crowd. This isn't helped by her large, poofy mane either, which makes her look a bit bigger than she really is. Her tail doesn't retain the whip-thin end of an IceWing, rather it looks... normal. Her snout is much more stubby and looks a bit squished if you're really picky.
P E R S O N A L I T Y
* dark sense of humor and an intense love for the occult, cryptids, and horror stories. enjoys writing the equivalent of internet creepypastas that everyone hates.
* emo kid.
* speaks in the third person like some kind of narrator. seems oblivious to others noticing this odd behavior and pointing it out to her.
** might break character when annoyed or irritated by someone.
* seems to have trouble making friends because few hold her specific interests, and since that's the only thing she talks about, not many befriend her.
* she also has trouble understanding social cues and doesn't seem to understand when she's making people uncomfortable. also doesn't quite understand sarcasm that well and is still trying to get it.
----Known for her very dark humor and near emotionless personality, Pawn is... odd is the nicest way to put it. She has a creative mind, one fueled by an intense love and compassion towards the horrors of cryptids. The tribrid loves talking about them with the afterschool horror club that she's apart of. On homework or scratch paper she'll often doodling disturbing and very frequently grotesque monsters that are just pure nightmare fuel. It doesn't help that Pawn goes for a very realistic art style, they look almost life-like. Most consider her a creep because of this and her odd fascination with death, something that doesn't faze her in the slightest.
To add to her odd demeanor, she narrates everything from the third person as she would a book. No matter how many times people tell her to "speak like a normal person," she doesn't listen. She only ever breaks character when deeply angered, though when she's in this state she doesn't use words, just various snarls and growls. Pawn seems to have a hatred towards anything bright and cheery other than the flower tucked in her ear. All these things that once gave her joy when her sister was alive, reminders of how she's no longer with her. If given flowers, she'll smash them if they're not roses (she likes roses). If a butterfly lands on her outstretched talons, she'll crush it without any signs of regret.
Pawn has a great sorrow resting on her shoulders, one she wishes she could let go. She clings onto the memories of her sister, but is afraid of seeing physical pictures of her. The dragoness loves them and hates them at the same time. Her voice is monotone, like a bored news reporter, so grey and sorrowful, so emotionless and unnerving. Pawn's voice only shows signs of any life when she's telling ghost stories that usually include the cryptids that she creates, storytelling is escapism from the real world, a means of hiding from the grief she holds. Much like her humor, these stories are often graphic and dark, scary to most who hear them and pleasing to herself.
While still weird in the past, she was much more cheerful, loving, and social. Only a shell of this actually remains, most of it was taken. Pawn had a very close bond to her sister, Kestley, who improved her for the better.

*least favorite part of herself is her eyes.
*favorite food is ice cream, with her favorite flavor being classic vanilla with raspberry syrup on it (she thinks it looks like blood).

please roleplay beforehand
p a r e n t s
Having never truly met them, she hasn't really developed that much of an opinion on them, then again she doesn't really want to meet them either since as far as she's concerned, they didn't really care about her. To say the least, sometimes she wonders who they truly were or what would've happened if she lived with them, but other than that, Pawn doesn't have any need or want to know them too well, just their names. She, well, she doesn't really know what to think about them or how to feel, none of her early childhood gave her that much detail on who they were.
Most of it was just a blur and for that, she doesn't miss or long to be with them, just all the same a smidge curious. Some days she believes them as nice dragons and other days, criminals, imagination can make you believe a lot of things, Pawn's just not sure which one is to believe and which one not to. Of course, this would fall to the neutral side and by no means positive or negative, it's more of a conflicted case.
Mixed Feelings
s k y f i r e
Being the only thing close to a mother, Pawn loves Skyfire as much as anyone would love their own mother. She's quite fond of her, since she seems to be one of the few who understands her and enjoys helping her with problems she sometimes has with the other dragonets who live in Echo's Cliff. Although at some points even her "mother" doesn't understand the tribrid's judgement on things, such as why she talks in the third person or why she's so attracted to horror movies. I guess some things are better just staying hidden inside.
Positive
t w i g l e a f
Similar to that of her "mother" Skyfire, Twigleaf is the only thing closest to a father she has ever had and with that, she's quite fond of him despite him not ever understanding her strange ways like her adoptive mother. Pawn actually likes being around him but more because she enjoys his company and the confused vibe that comes off him, although sometimes he protests to go be with some else at the moment. However, they've developed a rather strange relationship between one another, Pawn knows Twigleaf loves his adoptive daughter just as much as she loves him although it still doesn't stop him from feeling the creeping feeling of anxiety, Pawn knows... she always does.
Positive
j a g u a r
Unlike the rest of her family, Pawn isn't fond of her adoptive brother mostly because of his rude, bullish attitude towards her and Kesley, him being part of a rather aggressive gang, it's only natural for her to dislike him. He seems to return the feelings for both sisters, saying himself that they are both equally strange and sometimes were found bullying the two, hissing remarks into their ears. However, after the death of Jaguar's fair blood sister, he seemed to calm tension between Pawn and leave her alone, although he still shows some signs of old hatred towards the tribrid although they're never found arguing with each other anymore.
Mixed Feelings
k e s l e y
Kestley was, at the least, Pawn's only friend and what she considers her adoptive sister, if there was anyone she'd die for, it would be for her NightWing sister mainly because she stood up for her whenever their older brother, Jaguar picked on them. They'd become quick friends, both having delusional personalities, they naturally got along very well with one another. However, after the years went by, the Incident happened, one that forever scarred the family, Kestley's death that happened near the cliffside while they were playing, flying practice... for at least Pawn.
They didn't know the rocky ledge had been lose and while the tribrid was spreading her wings, floating in the air as her sister watched, the rock came undone, crumbling to the ground and gravity seized Kestley and took her with it down to the waterfall below. Pawn had just managed to grab ahold of her, although her grip wasn't that strong and she dived down with the NightWing, far below, splashing in the water. It was the last she'd seen of her sister, her being the only one saved from the Incident, Kestley drowned, although she still mourns for her, Pawn believes she's alive and well... somehow.
Very Positive
A B I L I T I E S
*good storytelling, even though she normally has a monotone voice, she puts a lot of emotion into her ghost stories.
*the only decent ability she has is her frosty fire that is blue in coloration.
* can draw very realistic creatures with just paper and a pencil.
*if she wants to scare the soul out of you, she will.
