Appearance
Sorrel is fifteen years old - a soldier who has clearly seen better days. His derelict overscales are a faded orange, his underbelly a nondescript shade of light peach - his face is heavily scarred, as are his shoulders and his throat and the tattered membranes of his once-powerful wings.
His horns are white and curl softly in on themselves, and his claws are white as well, though somewhat blunted; similar to his teeth, save for the upper and lower canines, which have been replaced with bronze replicas.
The spikes that run down the length of his body are a dark shade of burnt umber, which might hint at some distant MudWing ancestry (though he denies this relation vehemently). He is unusually muscular for a SkyWing as well, with a barrel-shaped chest and thick forearms.
He isn't particularly fond of jewelry in general, though he has been known to keep a look out for special baubles and trinkets on behalf of his adopted daughter.
All in all, he looks dangerous and fierce and unapproachable. Many dragons find themselves intimidated when in his presence, and so they sort of make an effort to steer clear of him whenever they can. Others pity him, though silently, because it's common knowledge that Sorrel views sympathy as an insult to everything that he stands for.
In spite of all this, there is one aspect to Sorrel's appearance that could almost be described as "beautiful" - his eyes, which are the colour of some dark gold and banded with strands of sora. A flash of orange can be seen beneath his slitted pupils, fringed with the barest hint of yellow upon closer inspection.
Personality
A practical dragon to the extreme and withdrawn around anyone he doesn't know well. He isn't particularly imaginative or creative: he prefers to follow orders rather than lead, and yet his respect and loyalty are hard to earn, especially when it comes to royal and aristocratic dragons.
He is a dependable individual in general and very protective of those close to his heart, and he has proven to be a worthy confidante in times of peril and tribulation.
Even so, Sorrel is not familiar with "betrayal" and "falsehood". Dragons should be straightforward and honest in his mind, and so it's a difficult concept to grasp when it comes to disobeying orders and selling out secrets of those in power.
He lives by a strict set of unbending morals and principles; morals and principles that he would never break for anything in the entire world unless it was absolutely necessary. His word is sacred and he will carry out whatever he has agreed to do, and he will do so with the utmost precision and care, because if you must do a job you might as well do it right.
