Bloodclaws

Bloodclaws is one of the original characters created by user Sarahyasmine. She is the child of an affair between Queen Scarlet (deceased) and a SkyWing named Peacetalons.
After Scarlet had Bloodclaws' egg, she immediately gave it to Peacetalons and banished him from the Sky Kingdom forever, fearing others would know about the affair. Peacetalons raised Bloodclaws (named after himself and Scarlet's bloodthirsty personality), on his own. When Bloodclaws found out the story of her mother abandoning her, she killed her father, believing it was his fault, and wanting to be queen. At the age of 5, she swore to slaughter any dragon who disobeyed the wishes of the MudWings and SkyWings.
Bloodclaws is a naturally violent and bloodthirsty dragon, despite her father's charming and calm personality. She seems to have taken all habits and looks from her mother, owing to the fact that Queen Scarlet could never have a day without a fun, gory battle as her foremost entertainment. 
== Appearance ==
Bloodclaws' appearance lives up to her name. She is a pale orange all over, with a light red-orange (almost clay-colored) underbelly and horns. Her eyes are red, and she has talons that look like they've been dipped in dragon blood--They are a deep, maroon red at the bottom, then they fade up her forearm in speckles, which gives her a very alarming appearance. Dragons always look at her twice to double-check whether she actually has blood on her talons. She also has a three-clawed scar running down her neck on her left side, from a particularly hard to kill assignment.
== Personality ==
Bloodclaws is a very angry dragon, angry at almost anyone around her. When she walks or flies into a room, you can almost feel the menace radiating off her scales. She doesn't take too kindly to dragons that attempt small talk, and usually only engages in hateful or assassination-related conversations. She does have a particular fondness for her childhood MudWing companion, Argil, though. Besides that, she is known to be extremely unfriendly to most dragons she meets. 
== Early life ==
Bloodclaws was raised by her SkyWing father, Peacetalons, after he and Queen Scarlet had engaged in a private, unrecorded affair. The queen had fallen in love with Peacetalons as a young dragonet, but decided to keep their relationship and eventual marriage secret, due to complications with Peacetalons' low-born status. When Scarlet laid their egg, she gave it to Peacetalons and immediately dumped him. She also banished him from the Sky Kingdom and ordered him to never visit her or any other SkyWing in the kingdom ever again, so no one would ever find out about their union.
Peacetalons carried Bloodclaws' pale orange, red speckled egg to the outskirts of the Claws of the Clouds mountains, just outside the Mud Kingdom, and raised her there for 5 years. During Bloodclaws' childhood, she befriended a male MudWing named Prince Argil, very close to her age. 
== History ==
At the age of five, Bloodclaws discovered why Peacetalons and herself had been thrown out of the Sky Kingdom. She felt dishonored by the fact that her father was a low-born servant dragon, and agreed with Scarlet's reasoning. She wanted to be queen, and was extremely angry at her father for not informing her that she was a rightful SkyWing heir, just like her sister, Ruby, whom she had never met. Bloodclaws' thoughts on this matter also could have been amplified due to the fact that her best friend, Argil, was a MudWing prince. Soon after hearing her father's story, Bloodclaws slaughtered her father, using her bare talons. She threw Peacetalons' body into the river near the Mud Kingdom that led to the Diamond Spray Delta. After exiting the rushing water and floating out to sea, the body was soon discovered by the SkyWings, as it was intended, as a warning that Bloodclaws was coming to take over the throne. Queen Scarlet gave Peacetalons a proper funeral and burial, though no one in the kingdom knew why. Scarlet had a sinking feeling that her daughter had actually survived, and would be coming to steal her throne.
Bloodclaws went on to earn the title of one of the most feared assassins of Pyrrhia, killing off dragons that were enemies to the SkyWings and MudWings. Argil, despite his hidden nausea at Bloodclaws' murderous title, convinced his aunt, the queen, to give her exclusive battle training. At the age of 8, she was accepted into the MudWing legion, and from there was discovered by a SkyWing general during a meeting with the SkyWing army. Bloodclaws was taken in to the SkyWing legion and was soon promoted at the age of 10 to Queen's Bodyguard, due to her outstanding and violent fighting skills. At her earliest possible chance, Bloodclaws made a move to kill her mother, whom she was assigned to protect. The other guards in the room overpowered her, however, and she was locked up and made for Scarlet's battle arena.
Bloodclaws stayed in the arena prison for six months, slaughtering other dragons, until there was a small raid on the SkyWing palace. Her podium, along with a few other dragon's collapsed, and Bloodclaws escaped to the Kingdom of Sand.
She has since been hiding out, mostly in the Scorpion Den, finding work and biding her time until she can once again try for her rightful place as Queen of the SkyWings.
== Romantic attributions ==
Bloodclaws had a small crush on Argil when she was a young dragonet, but their romance was limited due to Argil's terror at Peacetalons' murder.
