Shadow - Starstreak's Father

Note: I will gladly take artwork if it matches Shadow's description
<tabber>
|-| Shadow =
Shadow is a male NightWing/IceWing. His parents are Snowdrop and Rebel. He is a librarian, lives in the Rainforest Kingdom, and is happily married to Summer. They have one dragonet, Starstreak. But a huge tragedy changed his life forever...
== Appearance ==
Shadow has the body of an IceWing, and the color of a NightWing. He has claws that are sharper than average, dark gray icicle horns, and the underside of his wings are white with black scales.
== Personality ==
Shadow is loyal and very kind. He loves to read, but doesn't get lost in his books so much that he ignores others. He expresses just the right amount of gratitude when something is given to him, and he loves to share what he has with others. He is also very conscious about his appearance, but won' lash out at other dragons if they bully him. He also perseveres, especially when the situation is looking bad.
== Abilities ==
Rebel and Snowdrop's elements were combined in Shadow, and so he was born with the ability to breathe frostbreath so cold that it felt hot. He also can hide in shadows if he keeps his wings tucked in, and has night vision. Another one of his abilities is to withstand a fair amount of cold; not as much as a regular IceWing could, but more than a regular NightWing. He also is able to swim.

== Story of Life ==
=== Hatching ===
Shadow was hatched to Snowdrop of the IceWings and Rebel of the NightWings on the peak of Jade Mountain. He was born with 1 moon shining over his head as he hatched. But since he is half IceWing, he only has emotion sensing, not mind reading or visions of the future. Snowdrop and Rebel would ave happily made there home at Jade Mountain, but they learned the hard way that a SandWing group of bounty hunters had already made their headquarters there. Snowdrop flew for her life, her newborn son clinging to her back. Rebel stayed behind and fought to cover their escape. Rebel was captured and brought back to the Night Kingdom, and Shadow never saw his father again.
=== Life in the Rainforest ===
Snowdrop raised him in the Rainforest Kingdom, and once he was old enough to take care of himself, she left, saying that she would find his father and come back to him. She disappeared without a trace. Shadow would have been waiting for his mother to come home forever, but one day, he met Summer. She was as graceful as the jaguars that prowled the treetops, as delicate as the showers of petals that graced the spring, and as beautiful as a bright summer's day. She seemed to actually care about his struggles. Every other BeetleWing he'd met had brushed of his troubles and started to vent about her horrible life. He told her everything. About his parents, about how rude the other BeetleWings were, about how he just wanted a good book. Summer smiled when he told her about the books, and his heart exploded. How was it possible that her smile could make her look even more beautiful? After two months of knowing each other, Summer took him to her treehouse. Inside, she led him too a part of the house that looked like it had been just recently built. As he walked inside, he stopped in awe. "Do you like it?" she asked, twirling her antennae. Shadow was staring at a room filled with books. Books were in stacks on the floor, in hastily made shelves, everywhere. "I didn't know what kinds of books you liked-" she started. "No," he said. "No, it's beautiful." He hesitated, and then twined her tail with his.
=== The Stars Disappear ===
Shadow and Summer had a dragonet together, Starstreak. She was just as beautiful as her mother, if not more. She had a happy life, learning to read with ease. But one day, she saved a group of dragonets from an evil animus, and was scarred forever. One day, she disappeared from the face of Pyrrhia. Shadow vowed to search for her until he found her. He searched and searched every end of the continent again and again, but never found her. He considered going back to the Rainforest to see Summer, but he remembered his oath. One day Summer joined him, saying that she wasn't going to sit around while her daughter was missing. So they've searched, and searched... and searched... for all eternity. On a particularly dark night, you might be able to see their spirits, held on this land with their fierce determination to find their daughter, forever lost, forever in pain of their failure to find the one thing that they love above all...
== Relationships ==
=== Summer ===
Shadow loves Summer as much as you can possibly love someone else. She cared about him from the very beginning, helping him when even her older sister wouldn't. She loved him with all her heart, and they loved their dragonet together. and even when Starstreak disappeared, she stayed with him, loving and loyal 'till the end.
=== Starstreak ===
Shadow loved Starstreak, his beautiful, perfect daughter, and loved her still, even when she became horribly disfigured. He was sure that they could live happily as a family, no matter what. When Starstreak disappeared, he was hurt, wondering if she ran away from them. So he wondered; was he not a good enough father? This thought haunted him, and still does, even as he walks the face of Pyrrhia, forever in pain, forever in doubt.
