Terrace

__NOEDITSECTION__Owned by BronzeRattle
Terrace is an 18 year-old RainWing introduced in "Scales". He currently resides in the RainWing village as a healer, raising his daughter Silvana until she was kidnapped. He is the partner of Civic.
== Description ==
Terrace has pale blue scales with bubblegum pink highlights and lighter pink underscales in his ordinary coloration. His ruff is pea green, tipped in salmon, and his wing membrane is indigo fading to pea green. Terrace has seafoam green eyes and two small scars, one just before his left horn and the other far down on his neck. His snout has an ancient claw mark.
When disappointed, Silvana said he has a distinctive dull green palette she calls the "I'm-disappointed-in-you" scales.
== History ==
=== Backstory ===
Terrace was born in 5,054 AS. Terrace met Civic, an IceWing, and had an egg together. Before the egg hatched, Civic had to leave for an assignment and suggested the name Silvana as a possible name. When the egg hatched into a female dragonet, he named her Silvana. He purposely limited what she knew to avoid her knowing her hybrid lineage.
Terrace learned of Silvana's scale problem early on and often tried to fix it, to no avail.
=== Scales ===
Terrace was disappointed at Silvana due to her scales one afternoon, as usual. After her scales shifted in response to his colors, he wondered if he could use that to her advantage and took her into the air. He mentioned Chameleon's predicament and suggested sleeping more, but Silvana instead stated her willingness to fight. Terrace told her about Civic's scale issue and what happened to her, deliberately calling her a RainWing to avoid revealing Silvana's hybrid ancestry.
Silvana noticed three healers after them and described one with blue stripes. Terrace recognized the blue stripes as one of the IceWing Hybrid Hunters and told her to hide in the rainforest. He distracted them for Silvana to run to safety, which briefly succeeded until Coontail noticed her. He tried to attack them when they caught her, missing his venom and being tackled in the process.
== Personality ==
Most of Terrace's personality is defined by his protectiveness towards Silvana. While willing to protect her, he also keeps vital information out of her talons in the process, such as knowing other tribes. He is horrified by the idea of violence, but is brave when he absolutely has to be to protect Silvana. Terrace is persistent in fixing problems.
He is noted by Silvana to have poor accuracy and range in venom spitting.
== Relations ==
=== Civic ===
"Civic was always good with ideas. Much better than I am."
:—To Silvana about her name, "Scales"
Terrace and Civic were partners. When Silvana asked about her, Terrace said Civic was beautiful. She was smart and cunning, able to determine what anyone thought of her. Civic is a sensitive topic to him.
=== Hybrid Hunters ===
"IceWings. Silvana, those dragons, IceWings, want you dead. Keep out of their sight. Find a good spot near me."
:—Realizing the Hybrid Hunters were near, "Scales"
Terrace knew the Hybrid Hunters would try to kill Silvana once they learned about her existence and was extremely careful to not mention anything IceWing related to her. He knew Coontail out of the bunch. Terrace was willing to attack the Hybrid Hunters to defend his daughter.
=== Silvana ===
As Silvana's father, he tries to protect her and knows that her hybrid lineage puts her at risk. He always treated her as though she was pure RainWing and never raised the topic of other tribes existing to keep her from wondering about them. When she was discovered by IceWings, he revealed himself in a fury to fire venom at the kidnappers.

== Trivia ==
* A terrace is an flat area outside a building open to the sky, such as a patio or veranda.
* Terrace's color and name is a slight reference to the song "sd_bbb" by Patricia Taxxon, better known under the video EEEAAAOOO (Creator's name has a swear word but song itself is clean), whose second line in the repeating stanza is "Magenta plated terrace with a table and a stove".
* Terrace was accidentally referred to as Terrence several times in the writing of "Scales". These instances were corrected.
