Aye-aye

Aye-aye belongs to CriticalPoultry, and is a character in my fanfiction Moons of Power. Please do not edit this page, even for fixing grammer or spelling mistakes. I recommend you read Moons of Power before reading Aye-aye's page, as spoilers will be present. I will add more to her page as I work on writing my fanfic, and I'm initially adding extra information because she will be more important starting soon. Please do not steal her, or heavily borrow ideas, although names used are okay to take.
==Appearance==
Dragons often do a double-take upon seeing Aye-aye. Though dragons such as her are not unusual in the year 5105 A.S., one hundred years after the Dragonets of Destiny hatched, her appearance often draws the attention of others. Her ancestors were the early settlers of towns such as Possibility and Sanctuary, and as a result of that she is a Night-Rain-Hive-Sea-Sky-Ice hybrid. She is a normal size for a dragon of her age, but due to her nervous nature she often appears smaller. She has circular glasses that are usually crooked and are attached to two wires that wind unevenly around her horns.
She appears largely NightWing, with most of her primary body scales being an unusual iridescent black. She also has a NightWing-shaped head, though it has a few differences: her two SkyWing-looking horns are crooked in different directions, and she has a RainWing frill behind her ears. Down her neck are IceWing spikes that fade away along her spine, and she has small extendable stingers behind her front wrists, like some HiveWings. 
Aye-aye's wings are disproportionally large compared to the rest of her, and she often has trouble keeping them balanced, giving her a permanently lopsided look. However, she is a very fast flier, and her job as a messenger causes her to greatly benefit from this. Her wings, unusually, are a SeaWing-looking blue, and she has a few bioluminescent scales her sides. However, she is physically able to speak only a few words of aquatic, and can't understand the language. She has a couple of small patches of orange HiveWing scales on her tail and body, and a few standalone RainWing scales that she can change the color of. She has gotten good at keeping these blended in with her black main scales, though, and rarely needs to think of what color they should be.
==Talents & Abilities==
Despite her appearance, she's just a normal dragon. She has her strengths, but compared to most dragons her abilities are quite average. She isn't good at talking to other dragons, and usually ends up saying the wrong thing or mixing up words around dragons she doesn't know. This is ironic considering the fact that Queen Fatelight made her a rather important messenger. She did rather badly need a trustworthy messenger, though, and there weren't many options at the time, so her potential future daughter-in-law seemed like a trustworthy choice.
The toxin in her wrist stingers is weak, and causes only minor illness to dragons rather than being lethal like is normal. She has never used in on another dragon, and instead only kills small prey with it on occasion. She can change the color of a few of her scales, but she keeps these scales a shiny black color most of the time. Aye-aye can use them to camouflage, but because she has so few RainWing scales, this does very little.
==Personality==
Aye-aye is very nervous, both on the surface and the inside. She worries not about what other dragons think of her, though, but about accidently making them feel bad. She always sees a dozen possible ways things could go wrong, in words or in actions, and over the years this has worn a groove in the way she speaks: she often overelaborates when speaking to strangers, and jumps around between sentences or has trouble getting all of her words out. It is clear to all that she is smart, with her eyes always noticing things from behind her glasses, but in large groups she prefers to stay quiet and keep her head down.
Around those she knows well, though, she opens up more. As a dragonet, she spoke her mind more often, especially around her friends and family. However, she was never talkative, and even then she was known as the quiet kid in the class. As she gets to know other dragons for longer, she steadily talks more, and she appears less nervous when around her friends. She wants to do good in the world, and values hard work.
==History ==
=== Dragonethood===
Aye-aye's parents were normal dragons with normal stories, both growing up and living as hybrids in Possibility. Aye-aye started school at the age of three, a year late due to the fact that her parents didn't think she was ready for constant crowds, and she didn't entirely understand why she had to go; after all, she could learn what she needed to independently, and the other dragonets were at the time just annoying and very, very loud. She talked with her parents about this, and they were worried for their dragonet, but eventually agreed that she should stay in school, convinced that she would adapt.
And eventually, adapt she did. For one whole year she did her work all correctly and without speaking, shrugging off her teacher's attempts to have her make friends with the other dragonets. She didn't let missing her first year hold her back and worked hard, and though she didn't need all of the extra studying, it was her excuse for being quiet. As her second school year started, though, she promised to herself that she would make a friend. She found it hard, but she forced herself to speak to others, and was surprised to find most of them nice. All of the other students were shocked to hear Aye-aye speak more than a word or two, and several of them decided to be nice and talk to her. It went on like this for a while, and as she and the other dragonets got to know each other better, she became genuine friends with a few.
She graduated her final year of school at the age of ten, when she and her classmates were no longer dragonets at all. Her friend group had fluxed over the years, but in the end she had become less shy and maintained her incredible grades. The dragons all went their separate ways, most of them staying in Possibility, and Aye-aye didn't keep in touch with most of them. She worked for a couple of years as a teacher, but felt she could have a job she liked more and decided to try her luck in the RainNight Kingdom.
=== Adulthood===
Aye had chosen the RainNight Kingdom to move to because she felt that she would fit in the best there. Its inhabitants were RainWings and NightWings, after all, and no other kingdom held two of her tribes. She bade farewell to her mother and father, and traveled to the RainNight Kingdom. The homes of the NightWing Province cost the least to rent, so she lived there working temporarily as a waitress, which was the best job she could find. Aye-aye wasn't certain of what she wanted to do permanently, so she decided to wait and see, continuing her job as a waitress for a few months. 
One day a NightWing-SilkWing hybrid named Lutestring was playing the guitar for passerby outside Aye-aye's restaurant, and they ended up talking. Lutestring performed in the same spot for the next few days, and through more chats Aye-aye learned that she was Fatelight's daughter, and that she performed because she was good at music rather than for money. They spoke more and more, eventually starting to go out, and Lutestring took Aye-aye to meet her mother, Fatelight.
Fatelight spotted Aye-aye's intelligence immediately, and soon offered Aye-aye a position as one of her advisors. Aye-aye couldn't refuse, so she accepted the job and quit being a waitress. She worked with Fatelight for several years, as a moderately important dragon always seen in the background writing on scrolls or making small suggestions. Aye-aye was happy, and kept in good contact with her parents. 
Eventually, though, an unimportant seer named Feldspar had a prophecy, and many of the other seers had various visions regarding it. Prophecies those days were usually small, kept only to one dragon's visions, so this was unusual. Along with the prophecy, these visions contained the information that animus magic could return, and that only the keeper of the Forbidden Treasury- the current IceWing queen -could cause it to do so. Aye-aye was told the prophecy and was selected by Fatelight to tell Queen Solstice of the IceWings, and she departed immediately to deliver her message and, potentially make enemies with a foreign queen, return back home to the NightWing Province.
The prophecy also tells of a dragon who would travel to Pyrrhia from Pantala, to a great destiny that awaits her. This dragon will play a large role in deciding who the animus was, and though neither Aye-aye, nor Feldspar, nor anyone else knows it yet, this dragon, blinded from the past and yearning to see the future, will change what history could have been. This dragon, running from her life, will meet the fate she flees towards. This dragon... is Hollow.
==Relationships==
===Queen Fatelight===
Fatelight is is the dragon elected to lead the NightWing province of the RainNight Kingdom, and she is campaigning to give the NightWings their own kingdom, hence the unofficial title of "Queen" that her subjects gave her. She is a fair seer and is mostly just trying to keep peace between her tribe and all of the others. When Aye-aye came to the NightWing Province from Possibility, she met Lutestring, Fatelight's daughter, and Fatelight saw potential in Aye-aye, hiring her. When the time came years later, Fatelight had an urgent message for the IceWing queen, Solstice, and she sent Aye-aye out to deliver the message. Aye-aye is completely loyal to Fatelight, and wants her to be the real NightWing queen if the possibility ever arises.
===Lutestring===
Lutestring is Queen Fatelight's daughter, and Aye-aye's girlfriend. Her father, the late husband of Fatelight, was a SilkWing, giving her antennae and hints of deep purple in her scales. She is not technically a princess, as her mother is not really queen and she is half SilkWing. Lutestring is very musically talented, and works as a musician even though as the unofficial queen's daughter she does not need the money she makes off of it. She and Aye-aye met soon after Aye-aye moved to the RainNight Kingdom a few years ago, and they have been a couple since. They're happy together, liking each others' personalities and jokes and music, and have considered getting married at some point in the future. 
===Queen Solstice ===
Aye-aye dislikes the IceWing queen, fearing the violent tendencies that lie hidden under smooth expression. Though she understands that Fatelight needs the NightWings to stay allied with the IceWings, on the one occasion Aye-aye and Solstice met, Aye-aye immediately didn't trust the stability of Solstice's soul. She is afraid of Solstice's power to choose who the new animus will be, and this is unusual for Aye-aye, as she rarely fears other dragons in such a way. They have only met once, but that one interaction didn't go great, and Aye-aye would rather they didn't meet again.
