=== Overview ===
This character belongs to Bluelorax. Please do not use this character or design for anything; roleplays, personal use, stories, etc and don't steal them. You may take inspiration and draw fanart.
This page contains spoilers for my comic Again. Proceed with caution.
Ulysses is a dark-coloured Silkwing with blue patches and a crippled wing. She is a quiet and observant young Silkwing who is often treated cruelly for her darker colouration. Though both of her parents are known, dragons often speculate that she is a hybrid, despite sharing no Hivewing characteristics beyond her colour. When she completed metamorphosis, she had grown four black and iridescent blue wings. However, one ended up being crippled in a construction accident and she lost her ability to fly. She sometimes feels that she never got enough time to use her wings and take to the skies before she no longer could, because of the Hivewing's restrictions on travel for Silkwings.
=== Personality ===
Ulysses is usually calm, but has a great memory; if someone treats her poorly, she will remember. She's very observant to the Hivewings poor treatment of her tribe, she has extra experience with it because of her differences. She will often act rebellious, but is careful to not make it obvious, instead doing many smaller things (e.g. Not dusting properly when an important dragon is visiting, slightly disorganising the books at her workplace). Other than that, she's rather organised. She is very anxious, she doubts even the smallest things, sometimes hindering her performance or getting herself into trouble. Ulysses rarely leads on projects, she has both few and many friends, depends what you define as a friend, while she has very few dragons she would work with by choice, she gets along with most dragons at her workplace at least a little. She is very musical, her home has many instruments, such as: A small pair of leather and wooden drums which she keeps secret; a xylophone and a few tambourines.
=== Backstory ===
Ulysses was hatched to Pierrot (a female Silkwing with various blue patterns) and Sylphina (a male Silkwing with white and gold markings) in the webs between Silverfish Hive and Longhorn hive (Fan-made Hives) and went to school at Marble academy in Silverfish Hive. She found history her favourite subject. She often asked too many questions and thus was rarely chosen by her teachers to ask them. She was very good at picking apart the inconsistencies in her history books caused by how twisted the narrative that the Hivewings taught was, and was often punished for this, causing her to become quieter and more obedient, a trait about herself which she despises. At school, she was liked by a lot of other students, for her uniqueness, musical talent and humour. However, she had one main friend named Comet, an orange and red Silkwing who seemed to radiate light. The two grew close because of their shared experience with an ambiguous heritage; Ulysses could have Hivewing origins, and Comet was an orphan.
Fast forward a few years, Comet goes for their metamorphosis, and Ulysses came to watch them spin them cocoon. Suddenly, Comet's Silk glowed like fire; they was a flamesilk. Comet was taken away by guards and Ulysses never saw them again. This event caused her to have great worry, and finally question why history was inconsistent, or why Hivewings treated Silkwings differently. Her parents tried to comfort her, but it couldn't stop her fears; Why was their silk like that? What happened to Comet? Are they alright? Will the guards look after them? Cure them? Yet when the day finally came, everything turned out fine, and Ulysses grew her wings as normal. Oddly enough, she wasn't assigned a partner, though she knew why; it was because the Queen didn't want more dark Silkwings. She moved to the webs between Longhorn Hive and Maggot Hive. Her job was a construction worker at Maggot Hive. She despised the feeling of dust and tree-stuff residue on her scales, and her wings ached from flying all day. She felt lonely and talked to almost nobody. She spiralled down a lonely and depressed path, only made worse by the severe accident that struck her. One day, when she was working closer to the ground, a large section of tree-stuff cracked and fell down onto her. She was mostly unscathed other than her larger left wing being ripped, bend and crippled by the accident. In the hospital, she spoke a lot to a Silkwing nurse who helped her with her built-up worries alongside helping her learn to walk and run when she was less balanced because of her wing. She wasn't able to fly again, so was re-assigned a job at the Maggot Hive library as a servant. She had regained her talkative nature and began to make more friends.
=== Trivia ===
Ulysses was created because I wanted to answer the question of why Silkwings can't be black when many butterflies are.
Ulysses has a mild fear of heights. She also dislikes rain and dirt.
She has good hearing but bad sight up close, and wears reading glasses.
I am writing a comic featuring her, this is why her full story isn't revealed.
She uses she/they pronouns and is bi.
