The adventurous soul of Apogee along with her lifelong partner, Electricity, have traveled the globe together. Playing music night and day and exploring dangerous places in their free time.
A P P E A R AN C E
The mischievous yet well-meaning Apogee, though similar in color to her older brother, Perigee, the usage of said color is dramatically different. While Perigee is more on a warmer side, Apogee leans more into the colder side. Dark blues like a fading blue sky are painted across her scales, forming a gradient. Near her shoulders, this color becomes lighter and paler. From the elbows down, this color fades into the same dark blue seen on her main scales. Going up from her shoulders to her wings, the color quickly transits into a much lighter version of itself.
Similarly, this gradient is also seen across her snout, fading from the usually dark blue coloration of Apogee's main scales into the paler blue. Flat, block-like scales of dark navy blue go down the front of her legs and wings that deteriorate as they go. Dull teal spines go down her back, fading into a light pink at the tail. An even darker blue is seen in her underbelly, slightly lighter blues fade in and out of this darker color. Eventually, just like the spines, it fades into a light, pale orange.
Her eyes are a purplish blue, filled with charisma and sarcasm. Light orange, teardrop-shaped scales go down the side of her body, fading into a more sunset red-orange when getting into her tail. Apogee's wings are a lighter blue than the scales on her forelegs, the main coloration of the membranes is a midnight blue. Lighter blues as seen scattered across the bottom of her wings along with a few silver scales that faintly glow in the dark. Silver spurs are also seen on her wings and are the same color as the long horns on the back of her head. A light grey covers the back of each leg and a slate grey also goes up her hindlegs, fading into her main scales.
Pastel green glasses are perched on her snout and a golden star-like plug earring is seen on her right ear. Two golden rings stud both of her horns and two black, fingerless gloves cover her forelegs, brimmed in gold. Apogee is short and considerably well muscled with a long tail, short horns and stubby snout. The NightWing has a slight snaggletooth.

Apogee could perhaps be described as the exact opposite of her brother. While he's studious, precise, anxious, and paranoid, she's outgoing, enthusiastic, talkative, and trusting. Perhaps that's why they walk two completely different paths in life. Instead of living her life in constant fear and paranoia, isolated from the world, Apogee is free and expressive, unafraid of what life has to offer. She's mischievous, sarcastic, and smug to those she is on good terms with and friendly and charismatic towards those she has yet to get to know.
The NightWing is a very social and talkative individual, always cracking jokes whenever she feels it's appropriate. Though most of them are just references to funny media she's been bingeing and very few are original, very few grow tired of her quick and witty sense of humor. Despite her seeming complete confidence in her jokes, whenever someone doesn't understand them, needs them explained, or straight up don't find them funny, she begins to doubt herself. Questioning whether or not she was ever funny in the first place, it tears her up from the inside.*smug, mischievous, and sarcastic, though she enjoys pranking others, she makes sure not to take it too far. the last thing she actually wants to happen is for someone to get injured or killed.
*can get a little fidgety and nervous when thinking about her current relationship with electricity. constantly worries about accidently ruining what they have and has a tendency to overthink things when it comes to talking to her. 
** will never forget any the arguments they've had and always agonizes over them years later.
*loves bad jokes and tells them to her fiancée all the time whom also seems to enjoy them (maybe a little less than apogee does). 
**does still have a mostly great sense of humor and gets pleasure out of making others laugh at her jokes as she sees it as confirmation that it was funny. her humor is a bit fast-paced and she can skillfully add quite a lot of jokes into such few sentences.
**90% of her jokes are references to funny media she binge watches and 10% is original jokes made by herself.
**doesn't really find herself to be funny and gets rather self-conscious when people don't laugh at her stand-alone jokes.
*physically affectionate, though usually rough as she shows affection by punching others lightly in the shoulder. not really the hugging sort of person, though.
*hates letting others down and failing, hates the combination of guilt and embarrassment she feels when it happens. wants to be there for those who are at their lowest points, but doesn't know how to support them. so she more or less just sits there silently and listens to them vent.
*gets enjoyment in playfully wrestling with others, doesn't do it as much as she used to when she was younger, but still does it on occasions when someone is willing to wrestle with her.
*very talkative and extroverted, seems contractually obligated to quietly (as quietly as she can) commentate over any movie or tv show she's currently watching, with or without anyone else watching it with her. 
** this sometimes makes watching movies with her a little bit hard since she's usually cracking jokes and talking through most of it. especially considering the fact that she has a naturally loud voice. electricity doesn't seem to mind and seems to enjoy commentating with her.
*rants about things when she's worked up and angry. grumbles if she's by herself and talks (yelling in anyone else's case) when someone else is willing to lend an ear and listen to what she has to say.
*does not stand by when either her friends and family are being picked on unfairly and can be confrontational and in some cases unreasonable when talking back to these people. rarely, one might even need to pull her away to prevent an argument from escalating. let it be said, she doesn't need anyone to stand up for her.
* hates her glasses and wishes she didn't need to wear them. doesn't really complain about them too often unless someone asks.
*enjoys the thrills and ignores the spills. is an adrenaline junkie because she can't handle complex, long-term problems very well and prefers to just ignore them and let them fester in the back of her mind. ignorance is bliss, after all.
*isn't one for living life slowly and enjoys living in the fast lane, even if most can't keep up with her.
*very nostalgic being, sadly reminisces on her dragonethood and all the fond memories she had back then.
A B I L I T I E S
Apogee doesn't stray far from the average NightWing. Blessed with only the powers given to her from hatching apart of this tribe. Fire breath and night vision. Unlike her older brother, Perigee, she wasn't gifted with powers for foresight or mind reading. Something that used to make her think she was broken in her younger years that has since mostly faded away... or perhaps she just repressed it. In exchange, she's learn several skills to make up for her lack of moonborn abilities. Apogee's wrestling skills are quite exceptional, but hardly professional. She mainly learned how to fight from all the times she spent play fighting with her friends and, occasionally, her brother.
Alongside this, the NightWing is quite athletic and strong from all the labor-intensive and muscle-building activities she participates in, like escaping a collapsing building or climbing a mountain. She's well known for her resilience and stubbornness when she has her mind set on proving a point and it's quite admirable, though few could replicate what she's built for herself. Despite her more... extreme sports persona, she does have love for playing a few musical instruments. She's typically well informed on how to play both the banjo and base really well, with a singing voice that is sweet to the ears.
H I S T O R Y
 
* has a pretty normal life, hatched 2 years after her older brother, perigee, hatched.**perigee hatched under two full moons, gaining him mindreading and future sight. apogee didn't hatch under any full moons. there was a bit of rivalry because of that. has a kinda died down, but hasn't completely gone away.
*the two kind of had this dynamic as kids where apogee was the reckless, tomboyish, and confident one that didn't care about her grades and perigee was the cautious, kind, blunt, and intelligent one.
*was apart of a small clique of 4 other friends with her brother through kindergarten to high school where they had a falling out.
*those were good times, they'd often go on picnics together, or explore the outskirts of the neighborhood. or just plain get into hijinks around town... which more often than not included performing risky stunts and entering abandoned places they probably shouldn't have. perigee was the only smart one.
*the nightwing siblings' mental health started to decline around high school. perigee's faster than apogee's. mainly because his mental decline directly caused her's.

Apogee absolutely loves this dragon and loves her more than anyone else in the world. She perfectly compliments the NightWing's reckless and adrenaline-seeking attitude with her more cautious personality. Apogee loves being in the company of Electricity and is so glad she's willing to go with her on her exciting expeditions, as she makes them way better. She's incredibly proud of Electricity's growth as a person from when the two first met to now. It took awhile for her to come out of her emotional shell, but when she did... it was the best moment in their entire relationship.
The NightWing adores her electricity-manipulation powers. Though she always hated it when Electricity would be hard on herself and feel like a burden to her because of these powers. And while there are some points the IceWing brings up that she finds impossible to ignore, she just tries her best to comfort her and help her look on the bright side. She finds her to be witty and funny with a little sarcastic touch. The two are in a very healthy and loving relationship, and while they do have some ups and downs every now and again, nothing will tear them apart at this point.
Very Positive

always called him a nerd growing up because of how studious he was. admired how... knowledgeable he was on everything. he was always the first person she would turn to if she wanted a question answered because he was the smartest, but also the kindest, person she ever knew. while she kind of hates to admit it, she did rely rather heavily on him when they were in school together and feels she would've had an even worse time if he wasn't around. his passionate speeches about nightwing history could always put a smile on her face, though it was mostly when she overheard him talking to others.
doesn't really know what he's up to now, she hasn't been able to get into contact with him for a long time. thinks he's gone completely off the map and she's admittedly a bit worried about him. always kind of goes looking for him whenever she visits the rainforest territories, but she's had no luck in finding him. nevertheless, hopes that, wherever he might be, he's doing well.
