= Appearance=
==Scales ==
Considering the fact that Glass is always changing their scale colors, not very many dragons do not know what they actually look like. But dragons who have been able to see their scales have stated that they are like an aurora in a rainforest.
Their scales are mixed colors, each of them being mixed with each other. Dragons have reported that their scales seem to be cerise, fuchsia, boysenberry, magenta, teal, aegean, and peacock feather-colored.
==Side Dots==
Dragons have reported that unlike her scales, her spots are dove-colored. Other dragons, however, say that the spots are multiple colors ranging from pearl all the way to alabaster.
==Wings & Frill==
Quetzal's wings & frill are nearly identical to her side dots. Instead of the two being just one or two colors, the membranes are like her scales. The membrane coloring is mixed and smudged around. You can see each color clearly in some spots.
==Horns==
Their horns are one of the only things that never seem to change very often. They appear to remain eburnean as of now.
==Eyes==
Quetzal’s eyes are also one of the other things that never seem to change as well. Their eyes remain a cobalt blue for the time being.
=Personality=
Quetzal has no 'true' personality, as it is effected by their environment and the dragons that they are around. For example, let's say that she was around their best friend, Taipan. Glass would most likely be bubbly and excited around them, unless there is someone that she deeply despises.
If it was one of her parents, however, they would most likely attempt to stay as far away from the both of them considering her childhood, despite loving both of them dearly when she was younger.
=Abilities=
==Corrosive Venom==
RainWing venom is black and will dry into glossy droplets (reminiscent of obsidian) after some time exposed to air.
== Camouflage==
RainWings can use their scales for camouflage, reflecting their surroundings and making them effectively invisible to most dragons. Other RainWings may be able to spot a disguised dragon; this is a skill they develop young, during games of hide-and-seek
==Color-Changing Scales==
Glass, like almost all RainWings, is able to change the color of her scales.
==Static Apnea==
From living in the SeaWing kingdom for quite a long time, Glass has adapted to holding her breath for a long time and is able to do so for 30-45 minutes at a time..

=History=
==The Hatching ==
There it sat, just a smooth, white egg on a moss carpet. The egg’s biological parents probably decided that they didn’t want it in the RainWing kingdom, it was too dangerous now. Too many plants, too many plants that won’t stop growing. Poisonous plants, too many of them. Poison invaded the rainforest air, dragons were caught in it, collapsing to the ground while screaming at the sun. But, back to the egg. It had been left here, at the Sea Kingdom.
It began to hatch, snapping the SeaWing out of their trance. `` Oh, thank the moons. The hatchling in the egg is still alive.. `` Another SeaWing whose scales looked like they were covered in clouds, poked their head out from another room in the cave. `` Really? I thought it would hatch in like- a few days. ``
The other one, whose scales were xanadu green, looked at the other. `` Well, Mizu, not everything goes to plan. `` The SeaWig said to be Mizu shrugged. `` You tell me that almost every week, Verdigris. You’ve even insisted that I- ``
Noise emitted from the egg as it began to crack. `` Hold that thought. `` Verdigris stared at the egg, admiring the fact that the two of them are able to see something that they thought would never happen.
Eventually, the hatchling stopped for a moment. A few minutes later, the hatchling rammed their eburnean horns through the egg shell, startling the SeaWings on the outside of it. The RainWing proceeded to do it multiple times before slamming the top of the eggshell off.
`` It’s.. `` Verdigris began to speak, her eyes showing a sign of confusion. `` ..not an IceWing. `` Mizu tilted her head, confused as well. `` The egg looked so much like an IceWing though.. but I guess we didn’t realize that it never had ‘mist’ coming off of it. ``
The hatchling stumbled out of the eggshell, stumbling over their own feet and falling onto the damp moss carpet below. `` I guess we need to name it. `` Mizu spoke up. `` Correct, but what would be a good RainWing-y name? `` Verdigris looked at Mizu. `` Maybe Quetzal? It’s a type of bird. `` Verdigris nodded. `` Perfect. ``
==Swimming Lessons==
Quetzal began to learn how to swim at the age of four months. Not too early, but not too late either. Swimming lessons ended up being extremely chaotic. Not much information has been given about these lessons yet, but once Mx/Mrs. Creamspot gets more information, it shall be added ASAP.
==Childhood==
===TW/CW:===
Heyo! Creamspot here coming in with a quick warning, this following bit of history contains mentions of:
*Verbal abuse
*Mental illnesses
*Bullying
*‘Death’
Quetzal’s childhood is a bit rough for an average dragonet’s- a five year old’s. In school, she was constantly being picked on for being an outcast just because of her tribe. Dragons used to tease her about her ‘weird’ abilities and how ‘strange’ they were.
But it wasn’t all that bad. She had two friends that never teased her, nor did she ever tease them; Achelous and Abzu, two brothers, and also her two best friends at the time. To other dragons, the two brothers weren’t even there to them.
The trio all had nicknames for each other. Quetzal was ‘Glass Animals,’ Abzu was ‘Water God,’ and Achelous was ‘Walking Lantern.’ They all had their imperfections and insecurities, but who cared about those things?
Then it happened.
Her parents, Mizu and Verdigris, got worried about her behavior at home. She was always talking to the air or to the walls. Her parents took her to a psychiatrist to get her checked out.
The doctor took their parents outside of the room for a moment, closing the door behind them. Quetzal decided to eavesdrop, walking over to the door quietly. She could only make out two words from the conversation: ‘Probably,’ and ‘Schizophrenia.’ 
Quetzal remembered what schizophrenia was from one of her classes, they had read about it before.
She scooted away from the door once she heard talon-steps come closer to it. The door opened, revealing her parents and the Doctor. `` Quetzal, it’s time to go. Say goodbye to Dr. Oyster. `` Quetzal heard one of her mothers, Mizu, speak. Quetzal stood up, walking towards her parents before turning to the doctor. `` Bye, Dr. Oyster! ``
==Wear it, Never Take it Off==
===TW/CW:===
Heyo! Creamspot here coming in with a quick warning! This following bit of history contains:
*Aggression
* Loss of Self-Identity
* Mental Illnesses
It had been two months since she had been diagnosed with Schizophrenia. Quetzal noticed almost immediately how differently her parents treated her ever since the doctor’s appointment.
Their parents seemed more protective now, but not only that, they took Quetzal out of school. She didn’t know for what reason though, her parents were never informed by any-dragon that their child was being bullied. Maybe it was because they didn’t want dragons finding out.
But they shouldn’t have done that.
Quetzal began to put on a ‘mask’ over her personality, but not only over that, but over her own snout. But the masks weren't the worst part. She became more distant towards her parents and other dragons, she became more of an aggressive and alert dragon while wearing the ‘mask.’
Many dragons didn’t pay too much attention to the sudden change of the RainWing’s personality, besides her parents, of course. Quetzal kept her scales spruce or delft blue.
Abzu and Achelous kept on begging her to speak to them, making her annoyed. You know the annoying buzz of flies? The two of them were like that, but ten. Times. Worse. They wouldn’t go away, no matter how many times Quetzal asked the two of them to leave her alone.
==Oh? Who are you?==
===TW/CW:===
Heyo! Creamspot here coming in with a quick warning! This following bit of history contains:
* Mental Illnesses
* Loss of self-identity
*Language (Minor)
It was three years after she had been diagnosed with Schizophrenia. She was eight at the time, still wearing the same mask over her personality. That was, until she made a new friend.
Another dragon, but not a SeaWing. A SandWing.
Their name was Taipan. Taipan, like Quetzal, was an ‘outcast’ of their tribe. Quetzal and Taipan quickly bonded with each other about their likings and similar-ish stories. Both of them were put into the wrong tribe. Taipan was with the SkyWings, and Quetzal was with the SeaWings. But you probably want to know the story, right?
June 17th, 5,011 AS - 9:37 PM
Quetzal sat near a pond. It was surrounded by pebbles, rocks of all sizes, grass, dirt, and mud. The RainWing had snuck out from the SeaWing kingdom again. She decided to go rock skipping to calm her nerves. Her scales were all different shades of blue at the time.
Even though there were probably going to be several heat waves during the summer, especially at night, she still decided to go out every now and then. Tonight was one of those expected heat waves. Those damned heatwaves got in the way with too many things these days.
Quetzal picked up another rock, throwing it at the water with a flick of her wrist. `` One.. two.. three.. four.. five. `` Quetzal smiled, giggling slightly. `` That’s a new record. `` Quetzal spoke out loud quietly, but loud enough for herself and nearby dragons to hear.
`` Hey- uhm- can I join you? `` Another voice started the RainWing, letting a small squeak of surprise out. `` S- sorry- did I startle you? `` The RainWing turned to look at the dragon that surprised her. `` No- it’s fine. And uhm- yeah, you can join me. `` Quetzal looked at the dragon, studying their features.`` A SandWing? All the way out here? `` The SandWing began to speak again, walking over to sit down next to Quetzal. `` Thanks! My name is Taipan, yours? ``
`` My name is Quetzal, but I go by Glass Animals. Glass for short. `` The SandWing nodded. `` Alright! It’s nice to meet you, Glass! ``
==No More Mask==
===TW/CW:===
Heyo! Creamspot here coming in with a quick warning! This following bit of history contains:
* Loss of self identity
*Mental illnesses
*Mentions of alcohol
Tomorrow was the day, the one-year anniversary of Taipan and Quetzal’s friendship. It was the day where she was going to show Taipan her true personality, the day where her true scale colors, her backstory, everything- her true self.
Quetzal was nervous- I mean- wouldn’t any-dragon be nervous? Achelous and Abzu suddenly made an annoying “E” sound, making Quetzal groan. `` SHUT UP YOU TWO! ``
June 17th, 5,012 AS - 9:30 AM
It was today. The day that their friendship might collapse, just maybe. Nothing was guaranteed to go right or wrong. Quetzal shifted her scales to the different shades of blue that Taipan had seen when she met the RainWing.
Quetzal stood in front of the SandWing’s door, taking a deep breath before knocking. After about thirty-seven seconds, the stone door opened, Taipan standing there. `` Hi, Glass! How are you today? Oh- and happy one-year of friendship to us! `` Quetzal giggled, staring at Taipan. `` I’m doing good. ``
`` Come inside. `` Taipan took a few steps backwards, Quetzal entering the SandWing’s cave. `` Taipan? Can I tell you something? `` Taipan closed the door, turning to face the RainWing. `` I uhm- these aren’t my real scale colors. A- and I feel comfortable enough with telling you my backstory now. ``
After the story: June 17th, 5,12 AS - 10:07 AM
Taipan nodded as Glass finished the story. `` So- basically, you’re saying that you’ve been hiding your true scale colors, your true personality, and that you have schizophrenia? Oh- and you used to drink as well? `` Pomona nodded. `` Exactly. ``
Taipan stood up, walking over to Glass. The SandWing wrapped their wings around the RainWing. `` You don’t need to be afraid to tell me that stuff. I’ll always support you no matter what. ``
