Depth(Cobra)

Depth is a SeaWing with pretty blue eyes. 
==History ==
Depth was born into a humble family of 4. She was the youngest in her family. At first, all was well and her family lived a happy life, making enough money to support their spendings. However, somehow their family was 'struck with a curse of bad luck'. When she was rather young, her family was burgled and they lost many of their prized possessions. Afterwards, her father ditched her family, heaving her mother, her brother and herself to live by themselves. Things just started going downhill after that point. 
As her family struggled to stay alive and make ends meet, Depth was sent to school to get an education. At first, it was all looking good for Depth, as she turned to school activities and studying as a means to get away from her disappointment and worry over her family's well-being. However, somehow the news of her being the poorest dragon in the entire school leaked out, and soon she became the laughing stock of the entire school. Feeling desperately hopeless, she became the "bad student" in school, constantly playing truant from school. However, after a teacher realised that she was actually camping in the library studying furiously, that teacher had a chat with Depth, and eventually Depth opened up about her struggles, her worries and her harrassment in school.
The teacher, having heard the horrific account of how things just escalated in her family and how she was now subject to adverse poverty, decided to help her. That day, she paid a visit to Depth's family. Depth watched, mouth agape, as the teacher swam into her room and flashed in aquatic: Hello. I heard that your family is facing difficulties. Would you like to tell me about it? I'll see if I can help at her mother. 
Depth would perhaps never know what was said in the conversation between her mother and her teacher, but all that she knew was that his life became a bit more simple after then. Although some dragonets still teased her, she had learnt to be strong and stand up for what she knows is right.
Deeper elaboration in the fanfic
==Appearances==
Depth is a SeaWing with light cyan scales and pretty blue eyes. Her stripes are hauntingly similar to the royal SeaWing stripes. 
==Characteristics & Personality==
Depth loves studying. She shows a deep and great interest in all subjects, especially History and Mathematics (like me), and has a flair for writing and illustration. She used to be very bubbly, until the incident with her family, in which she practically withdrew from society and became very introverted. After the incident, she, unfortunately, still had a hard time becoming the dragon that she used to be.
Depth takes pride in her possessions and items, and takes good care of them. Whether it is a simple carving pad, or an ornamental neckless, she will cherish and protect them to the best that she can. She also sees importance in her image, and will spend time to groom and clean her scales.
==Possessions==
This section will detail the more commonly used items and the more important items that Depth has in her possession.
* Sculpted carvings
Depth has always been fascinated with ancient carvings found in caves. She has been studying about them for rather long, however still does not know where who, or what, made them. One day, she decided to make an artwork... out of "ancient carvings"!
* Stone chisel
One of the most important things to her, Depth uses the stone chisel regularly for carving, writing, and also as a stress stick (she scratches it if she is bored)
* Collection of scrolls
The average student hates scrolls, but Depth often finds herself absorbed and glued to these wooden wonders. She has an amazingly large collection of scrolls, most of which were unwanted notes from her school and peers.
* Beluga sculpture
Found this thing lying in the corridors of her school one day. Thought it was cute, and kept it.
* Cracked garnet neckless
This neckless is one of the only pieces of jewellery that Depth owns. It was her second birthday gift, and, as most dragons do, she cherished this piece of treasure, and was very proud of it, wearing it everywhere she went. However, on one fateful day, when she was chiseling some sculptures, she accidentally struck it with a stone chisel, and cracked it. This made her feel extremely upset, though it did not dampen the neckless' image in her mind.
* Tiny emerald dragon sculpture
This sculpture was her third birthday gift, and it was given to her as her parents knew what happened to her previous piece of treasure. This sculpture still remains, intact, in Depth's room.
== Additional notes & info ==
I am intending to create a fanfiction involving Depth very soon. That fanfiction will elaborate on her struggles, early life, and more of her backstory. Artwork for Depth is original, and I am still working on her portrait.
