Arethusa

Please. Don't ask.
== Appearance ==
Arethusa has odd scales. His middle and lower scales are very, very pale brown. But, his back scales are a dark brown so dark it's nearly black. He wears a gold earring shaped like a star in his right ear, and has a long, copper blade attached to the end of his tail. He's shorter than half of his friends, which is very funny seeing as he's a bigwings.
== Personality ==
Arethusa is shy, nervous and caring. He doesn't like responsibility, which is a problem. He's loyal and will go out of his way to protect those he loves.
== Backstory ==
Arethusa hatched on the edge of the MudWing kingdom with his sister, Kalmia, and his brothers, Thamyn and Mangal. He went to Claws Academy for All Tribes, a school founded by Queen Moorhen and Queen Ruby on the MudWing/SkyWing border, when he was three. There, he met Frazil, an IceWing dragonet his age, and fell in love. He went by she/her pronouns until he was four years old, when he realized he identified as male. He immediately told Kalmia, Thamyn and Mangal. Soon after, he told Frazil, and it took her a little while to understand, but Frazil never put her down for it. This only made Arethusa love her more. After graduating, Arethusa and Frazil moved to the IceWing border and lived there for years. Soon after that, Arethusa befriended a young NightWing named Careful. She was terrified of her powers (mind-reading and prophecy), but Arethusa and Frazil helped her. They practically adopted Careful, but Arethusa had no idea how to raise a dragonet, due to the MudWing's independence from their mothers. Thankfully, Frazil could help, and Careful absolutely loved both of them. He still lives in their small hut.
