she / her ❄ ambassador ❄ straight 
character belongs to radar
ugh!! i redid her design again!!
Originally a soldier trainee fighting in a war between two queens, Feathertail never had the best relationship with her tribe, being the daughter of two exiles as well as a hybrid. The IceWing felt separate from the rest of her tribe. This wasn't helped by the fact that at she had some rough history with the queen. From almost being sacrificed to an ice god, to watching her be too much of a coward to stand up to Zealous's tyrannical reign. Watched her uncle die to one of Zealous's goons in front of her because he refused to do what he was told. 
After Zealous was killed, tension remained between Feathertail and her tribe, specifically her queen. Left the kingdom at the age of 20 after hearing there was going to be a welcoming party going to a continent called Pantala. intrigued, she decided to join this small community. Met a young and prickly NightWing named Crowfeather who grew close to her after some time. Traveled to Pantala after mingling with these dragons for a few months. Disappeared suddenly weeks after landing on Pantala and is presumed dead.

Appearance
Scales as beautiful as ice and shimmering like freshly fallen snow, radiating a comforting cold. Feathertail's main scales were a pale ice blue with lighter and deeper colors added into the mix every now and then. Light purplish-blue rippled gently down her back as well as on the top of her head. The IceWing's eyes were one of the most noticeable traits, being a striking teal with a faded green in there. Her pupils were odd in that they were strangely diamond-shaped. Just underneath her eyes was golden facepaint in the shape of 5 arrows, all pointing away from her eyes. Long, sharp pastel purple spines went down her back with darker purple spines found on the back of her neck.
Dark purple leopard patterns were seen dappling her scales, ending at the tip of her whip-thin tail. Feathertail's shoulders were untouched by any other color, going down her legs, there was a light purple on her forearms. Dark purple-grey horns protruded from the back of her head, this was also the color of her talons and wing spurs. Ashy black scales covered her paws, making it appear as though she were wearing gloves. This was one of the only signs that she was a hybrid. On her wings, bruised purples, cornflower, and steel blues swirled in almost a galactic pattern. Silver stars speckled the tips of her wings, just noticeable to the eye.
Her tail held several thin spines that weren’t too similar to icicles. Pale lavender covered these spines, with ice blue on the tips of the spines.
----Dazzling blue-white scales that shimmer like freshly fallen snow. Hints of light purple blossoms underneath the blue-white, though are mostly visible as blush on her shoulders and neck. Feathertail's head and underbelly are white with slight blue highlights. Her face has an added blueness to it from almost always being seen blushing. The IceWing's eyes could easily be compared to that of the northern lights trapped within her gentle eyes. Teal and aquamarine fade in and out of each other, swirling around her diamond-shaped pupils. Pale blue goes across the top of her head.
Similarly, this pale blue is very similar to the color of the first few spines that go down her back. The farther they go down her back, the more the color travels from pale blue to teal. The tips of these spikes are the same color as the top of her head and looks like frost. Her horns are a bluish grey and don't go too far from her body. A similar frosty color covers her horns faintly, much like the tips of her spines. Underneath her pointy ears is a cluster of needle-like spikes that are an icy blue similar to that of her main scales, just bluer. Feathertail's wings, while somewhat large, don't stand out against her body.
The membranes of her wings are a mute slush grey-blue. Some silvery scales can be seen on the undersides of her wings, but these are barely noticeable, being of similar color to the membranes. However, under the right lighting, they shimmer like falling snow, much like her scales. Going down her body, there is her whip-thin tail that is ended with sharp icicle-like spikes. These spikes are of a pale blue to teal gradient, much like the ones going down her back. Climbing up from her paws and stopping near the middle of her forearm are black scales. This is the only noticeable part of her that distinguishes her as a hybrid.
Feathertail's build is petite and graceful, with only a bit of chubbiness around her neck and cheeks. Her snout is round and stubby and she fails to be tall and falls more into the medium to short category. The IceWing's eyes are large and round and aren't perfect circles. This in addition to her pointy ears give her a cat-like appearance. At least in the facial region. Her gaze is solemn and gentle yet also intense at the same time which can unnerve some into avoiding eye contact. She wears a sweet smile on her face most of the time, but can quickly falter to suspicious at any time.
Golden arrow-like markings that vary in lengths are seen painted underneath her eyes. These fade from a dull gold to a much more brilliant golden coloration. This is similarly seen by the symbol on her shoulder that consists of a circle surrounded by three triangles. Such a marking was gifted upon her by the ambassadors of Pyrrhia to prove that she is one of their own. Sometimes she is seen wearing a golden music note shaped earring in her left ear, given to her by Crowfeather. Ink sometimes is seen stained on her slush grey talons, that show no signs of being serrated. It is currently unknown if any of her appearance changed after going missing. 
Personality
this is coming from a guy who hasn't read the books, but has watched a lot of videos about them. so this is just going to be my interpretation of her. 
*courageous
* compassionate and gentle, though it did feel a little pick and choosy, as she was prone to dropping these traits around those who support beliefs she was strongly against. in those cases she'd not willing to hear them out and could be a bit closed-minded, really.
* didn't really consider how much of an emotional impact she'd leave on those around her.
*caring of those close to her and are willing to protect them at any cost.
*distrustful of most of her tribe about that sacrifice incident happened. also for a few other things that happened between her and her tribe queen. this mostly included working together with a corrupt dragon who wants to kill all hybrids.
*hesitant to trust most from her tribe, unless they are friends of her parents or brother. knows better than to blame the entirety of her tribe for the faults on her queen. though anyone who was remotely on good terms with zealous is dead to her.
* rarely backed down from a challenge, even if it was life-threatening. quite altruistic, fighting for what she believed in because if she didn't, her opinions would never be heard.
*preferred not to fight, but will if she believed it to be necessary.
*diplomatic.
History
 
*born in the ice kingdom to a hybrid father and an icewing mother, her mother in particular was of rather high status since her father had close ties with the queen.
*her father, on the other hand, came from humble origins as an ice fisher living in a fishing village along the coast of the ice kingdom. he wasn't of high status, but feathertail's mother never cared about that.
*never really got to meet her mother, as she died before the icewing hatched from health complications and her father returned home to the rainforest territories because of rising intertribal tensions.
* was raised by her aunts and uncle along with her brother.
*started training alongside her brother to become a soldier. was treated almost like royalty because of her grandfather's status.
*it did go downhill when zealous, a vicious icewing tyrant, sentenced her and her brother, winter's storm, to be sacrificed to an ice god. this was only because they were both hybrids (not to mention nightwing hybrids), something zealous despised greatly. though the ice queen was the one who suggested to sacrifice them, the death sentence was still something she agreed upon.
*her and her brother only survived because their uncle, seb, who was second in command fought back and was killed by the icewing's goons right in front of them both and a huge crowd of onlookers who did nothing.
*a distrust for icewings formed in the heart of the young dragonet that day and she never recovered from it.
*fled the ice kingdom, along with her brother, a week or so after the incident and the two went into hiding.
Abilities
Cold Resistance - This was the only ability Feathertail gained from her IceWing side, and even then it wasn't as impressive as the cold resistance of a purebred IceWing, which could withstand subzero temperatures. Thankfully, it wasn't weakened too much by her NightWing genes, so she was still capable of comfortably withstanding the Ice Kingdom for long periods of time.
Close Combat Abilities - From warrior training in the Ice Kingdom, Feathertail was quite talented at close combat, she took full advantage of her claws, teeth, and the sharp spines on her tail. Even though her claws weren't serrated, due to being part NightWing.
Relationships
please roleplay beforehand
Parents
Feathertail was never particularly close with her parents, especially her mother, whom died soon after she and her brother hatched. Her father wasn't really in her life, as he left for the rainforest territories a few years after Silver died. For most of her dragonethood, Feathertail was raised by her aunt, aunt-in-law, and uncle rather than her father.
While though he did visit once in a blue moon, she never really got to know him and never really formed anything past a neutral relationship with him. All she could really describe him as was a funny, old man with not much going on in his life and very little else. Still wished him good health despite them hardly ever interacting.
Neutral
Winter's Storm
her older brother.
Very Positive
Crowfeather
Crowfeather, formerly known as Crowleap before Feathertail's untimely demise, was one of the IceWing's closest companions. She was one of the few dragons who managed to cut through the NightWing's prickly exterior and see who he really was on the inside, a genuinely kind and loyal friend. She never really thought too hard about his intense love for her, as she only ever considered him to be a friend.
While she ultimately never reciprocated his love, she did enjoy spending time with him outside of work, often going to different attractions around the hive or showing him some of her poetry. She always found his reactions to everything to be amusing and endearing and his insightfulness to be fascinating. To the very end, she was proud of how far Crowfeather had come from when they first met and always tried her hardest to help him become a better person.
Very Positive 
Seb
her uncle whom died protecting her and winter's storm from zealous. respected him deeply and cared about him, as he took care of her and her brother, after their father was forced to leave.
Very Positive 
Raine
her aunt, whom took care of her and her brother with her brother and wife.

Trivia
*moral alignment is neutral good.
*my original plan for her was to make her one of the three lost spirits foretold in the legends, with agouti and dragontail, however i believe that fate is for a different character, as both it doesn't have any similarities to feathertail.
* was originally for the warriors-based contest, but i dropped out before its end.
*in her original designs, she had stripes not unlike that of a tabby cat. these were later replaced with leopard print. 
** additionally, she was also going to have a black-tipped tail and have bigger "socks" on her legs. they were also going to be on all four of her feet, but with was later changed to just her forelegs.
*loved any kind of arctic fish.
