Torrential

__NOEDITSECTION__
__TOC__
Torrential is a SeaWing jeweler who lives in the coastal town of Coral Cove.
== Appearance ==
Torrent is striking in an unconventional way.
They have a strong, willowy physique, with smooth scales and a long, narrow wingspan. Pale golden irises and a pair of thread-patterned horns contrast their soft features. Their underside is paler than most of her body, flecked with various bioluminescent bands. 
Though their scales are mainly a clouded green in color, they are tinted with blue and slightly yellowish undertones. This is most noticeable underneath their wings, which are marked with swirls in a green-tinged shade of cerulean and azure.
Unusually for a SeaWing, Torrent’s crest doesn't run the length of their body. Instead, it gathers in a sharp wavelike way along their neck, back and chest. Another atypical trait are the webbed dewclaws on their rear legs, which help them navigate strong currents.
They also have two piercings on their left ear. They're usually seen wearing a blue teardrop earring as well as a small silver hoop in their upper ear.
== Personality ==
Something of an ambivert, Torrent doesn't act in any particular way.
She's a self-sufficient kind of dragon who's happy to be on her own. She loves to be outdoors, especially around water or in the rain. She can often be found curled up in the grass with a book or sitting on the beach with her sketchbook.
She can be somewhat awkward at times and is a bit of a daydreamer, but is by no means naive or spacey. Her main flaw is her insecurity about herself and their art—she rarely feels satisfied with the work she's completed.
Though not always social, she does enjoy being around friends and in areas where there are lots of dragons. Those who she's spoken to would describe her as a pleasant, caring individual with plenty to say.
Underneath her seemingly cheery exterior, however, lies an air of profound melancholy and loneliness. Her solitary nature means that she's spent most of her time alone, and she desperately longs for the companionship of another dragon.
== Abilities ==
* Very strong swimmer
* A surprisingly fast flier due to their wingspan
** However, they struggle with flying long distances and rely on wind currents to soar
* A skilled jeweler; very deft with their claws
* Also skilled at bargaining and haggling
* Fluent in Aquatic
* Loves to sketch and paint in their free time, and they're quite good at it
== History ==
* Grew up in an oppressive household where nearly all of her choices was predetermined
* Her parents were minor nobles who had fallen from the SeaWing queen's grace and were desperate to earn it back
* Their plan involved integrating Torrent into high society and having her marry a higher-ranking noble—perhaps even one of the princes or princesses
* Torrent was uncomfortable with this idea from a young age, but could never really put a finger on why
* Eventually, their work paid off. By associating and becoming friends with the wealthier aristocrats, Torrent and her parents were able to claw their way up the ranks of high society
* But this still wasn't enough for her parents, who were unsatisfied with their own modest home and lack of riches
* After reaching adulthood, Torrent received more and more invitations to events with the queendom's socialites
* Her unusual appearance caught the eye of many suitors, although she never reciprocated interest with any of them
* One night, she was approached by a dragon named Thresher, who she later learned was a nephew of the queen
* He also ran an extremely profitable liquor business
* Her parents were overjoyed by this news. She reluctantly began to respond to his courtship, and within months, they were hastily married in a grand ceremony
* Torrent had hoped that by escaping her parents, she'd be able to find some semblance of peace, but her new life seemed to only accomplish the opposite
* After the wedding celebrations, she was abruptly whisked away to Thresher's underwater estate
* Despite the opulence of the place, none of the dishes she ate or the jewelry she wore ever filled the emptiness she felt
* Thresher noticed this too, and while he never laid a claw on her, he made his dissatisfaction known in other ways — mostly through snide comments
* He seemed to regard her as little more than a living trophy
* Thresher was often away from the estate for months at a time because of his business, leaving Torrent to wander the grounds on her own
* Eventually, with the help of a sympathetic maid, Torrent mustered up the courage to escape and dissolve her marriage
* She'd expected Thresher or her parents to come looking for her wherever she went, but they never did
* Torrent eventually made her way to Coral Cove, a tiny town in the Bay of a Thousand Scales where she currently lives
* She took up jewelry work and began to make a modest living by selling her goods
