Beluga Whale

Creator: User:Coffeeanddragonenjoyer
== Appearance ==
Beluga has all-white scales and wings and translucent webbing between his tail and back spines, a rare coloration. But he looks like a normal NorthWing for the most part, if a little short for his tribe. He’s also built pudgy. 
He has curved, light gray inner horns and straight outer horns that can glow teal. 
Beluga almost always wears a pair of glasses over his eyes, which are the same shade of teal. He also always has a gold band around his left foreleg, the sign of a NorthWing animus. It has two scratches in it, representing Beluga’s two enchantments after the animus test spell. 
In Possibility, Beluga often wears simple, light fabrics over his neck, back, wings, and tail to hide his conspicuous white scales. He also wears cheap bangles over his arms to distract onlookers from his gold band. Those who don’t look closely sometimes mistake him for an IceWing or strange hybrid. 
== Personality ==
Beluga’s an ambivert who enjoys company but needs time alone. He does have secrets to keep. But despite it all, Beluga loves attention. He’s learning to live without it in Possibility. 
Beluga is friendly, kindhearted, and generally means well, but he can be somewhat selfish. Growing up noble and the only animus, Beluga expects to get almost anything he wants and often indulges his whims, helped along by a spirit for adventure. 
He doesn’t really fear the consequences of these actions, but he does fear his animus powers. He grew up visiting IceWings and hearing horror stories about Darkstalker, having his advisors warn him about overstepping, and eavesdropping on worriers whispering about him. Beluga can feel a bit of darkness within his powers, too. It’s a gift and a curse. Since Beluga feels he can’t control his power, he tends to act out control by taking spontaneous adventures. It takes his mind off being an animus, too. He hates that it feels like the core of his identity. 
== History ==
Beluga was born to NorthWing nobility, the animus line, with two clutchmates. He took the animus test with his siblings and was the only magic holder. He received a lot of attention for being the only living animus and grew used to it and to getting his way. He sometimes neglected to support and spend time with his siblings. 
At age four, Beluga moved into the Animus Palace, a small wing of the Palace of Sea and Land. He also repeatedly asked Queen Stormwinds to let him attend Jade Mountain Academy. She refused on the grounds that Beluga was too vital to leave the kingdom. Queen Stormwinds feared her only animus would be at risk so far away and that she wouldn’t be able to use his gifts there. Besides, the NorthWings had only just re-emerged into Pyrrhia and she didn’t want to make them a target.
A month or two after Beluga turned five, he left the palace in secret. He wasn’t quite sure if he was heading to Jade Mountain or somewhere else, though deep down he knew — if he appeared at Jade Mountain, everyone would know and he would have to leave. And Beluga realized that independence, freedom, and adventure were on the very short list of things he could never reach at the palace. 
So Beluga ended up in Possibility, using the alias Snow. He’s currently avoiding those looking for him and trying to start his new life.
== Enchantments ==
Stupendous Spectacles of Super Sight (a dorky name Beluga thought up when he was young) - Beluga has very poor eyesight, so he enchanted a pair of glasses that, when worn, give the viewer excellent sight. He and advisors thought the spell out carefully before hand, so the glasses are also very difficult to break and have special modes, like one that allows the wearer to see through walls. Beluga considered enchanting himself directly, but decided against it. NorthWings have a culture around animus that encourages them to enchant objects or things that can be used to assist future generations. Aside from his animus test spell, the glasses were the only thing Beluga enchanted with the Council of North’s permission and before deciding to leave the kingdom. Beluga brought them with him upon his departure. 
Hidden Gem Ring - Beluga enchanted an authentic jadeite bracelet that causes the wearer to become invisible. But Beluga considers hearing a more important sense than sight, so the invisibility also muffles any noise the user might make. And the invisibility isn’t in the traditional sense — it does mask Beluga’s appearance, but more so it causes attention to slide off of him. Beluga used it to leave the palace and still uses it on occasion. It’s the only thing he enchanted without the Council of North’s permission.
