 Atheris Hispida is a dragon role-played STRICTLY by Nimarfira{Masterdragon694}. Please do not edit without my stated permission. Also a constant Wip.
==Abilities==
===Natural===
She can alter the color of her scales to mimic objects, her surroundings, other dragons, or simply to suit her preference. Her colors may also change if she feels a particularly strong emotion, like most RainWings. Sunlight "recharges" her scales, making her better at camouflage, as well as giving her energy, making her happier, and a little more agreeable.
She has a prehensile tail, like other RainWings, to grip onto trees.
Atheris Hispida possesses deadly RainWing venom, which can be shot from her two viperlike fangs. The venom destroys most things it meets in contact. Additionally, most likely from her viperlike mutations, her venom can corrode metal. 
===Skills===
She has spent most of her life in the desert and has learned to do a modified version of tree gliding as well as stealth and thievery, she’s very good at it. She can control her scales a little better than most RainWings and has learned to stay dead silent. She's a nocturnal ambush hunter and can react within a quarter of a second, she also has a tendency to charm snakes. She’s gotten very good at mimicking other dragon tribes. She can read and write.
==Tells==
(Wip)
==Appearance==
Atheris Hispida's scales are greatly keeled and normally show in the colors red, purple, yellow, orange, and slate gray with cryptic markings that fade in and out across her body(alerting other dragons that she is more venomous than other RainWings). She has viperlike fangs that are longer than a normal RainWing would have, and they fold into her mouth so they can be that length. Her eyes are slited and allow for night time hunting. She has a forked tongue and wears a jet black choker with a matching star pendant. Overall she’s dangerously pretty, with extremely vibrant colors.
== Personality ==
When it comes to Atheris Hispida, the first thing that becomes apparent are her bouts of somewhat childlike behavior and her tendency to slightly hiss her S’s at the end of words(Something like thiss). Then it becomes pretty obvious she can be quite snappy or disagreeable at times, and has been proven to not care for the difference between minor rights and wrongs. 
She's quite excitable, taking the most enjoyment in stealing from others, dark, morbid, or twisted humor, making herself look prettier than usual, and playing with dragon bite vipers. Now would be a good time to note that she lacks a sense of danger and fear for a lot of extremely dangerous things. Atheris Hispida often calls herself Thiefsie(stealing something just as often) and plays with dangerous creatures others would avoid at all costs. (She has been known to bump into and mess with SkyWings with fire scales like she would with normal dragons, unscathed. The reason for this is, so far, unknown by other dragons.)
Theifsie, Atheris Hispida, is a playful spirit and can be oddly joyful at inappropriate times. She occasionally speaks referring to herself as "we", or in third person, more particularly within a half hour after a panic attack. She has been known to experiment with hypnosis and the mixing of herbs for "queenly sleeping purposes". 
Something else to note, Thiefsie may threaten one's safety with simple facts or hold a casual conversation about how to kidnap a queen(or other dragons). She normally finds random times to be flirtatious or stern, and strongly dislikes it when her scales defy her wishes. When startled, because she's very jumpy, she will immediately hiss and then proceed to be in a foul mood for the rest of the day. She also hisses when she feels threatened.
Thiefsie shows affection in strange ways. She spends most of her daytime napping but that's where similarities to other RainWings end, she's nocturnal and thus the most active at night. One final thing when she’s angry she acts like a viper. One moment she’s sitting there with black scales and red eyes, the next you have deadly fangs snapping shut on your face. She knows she’s pretty but will often use this to her advantage. She prefers meat over fruit and vegetables but still eats them.
== Backstory ==
Her egg was stolen from the RainWing hatchery and brought to the desert, where the dragonet inside mutated to the warm environment. When she hatched she found herself surrounded by SandWings who were whispering about her, at first about how unusual she was then about how pretty she was. Her master and mistress had made it clear to her that she was an item not a dragon, although let her sleep during the day as she proved to be much more irritable and moody without her time in the sun.
It wasn't long until the dragons that lived around her learned to leave the young RainWing alone and to not taunt her. The unfortunate soul that had done so lost his life in seconds, for she was demonstrating the deadly potency of her venom. 
It was when her, now lone, mistress had pried her fangs from the male dragon the SandWings gave her a name. And a fitting name it was... Atheris Hispida. After that the SandWings she lived with were suddenly very cautious about not getting on her nerves. Her mistress fussed over trying to teach Atheris Hispida how to assassinate but she proved to be too stubborn to spit venom. Instead the older SandWings thought her to steal and pickpocket, then eventually break and enter.
Atheris Hispida quickly became the best thief in the area due to her RainWing ability to vanish into the surroundings. After stealing a valuable choker of velvet, obsidian and diamond, she gave herself the alias Thiefsie. Theifsie, aka Atheris Hispida, became very protective of the choker and stubbornly refused to give it to her mistress, as was customary. When the mistress tried to take it by force, Atheris Hispida hissed and bit her mistress.
After another few incidents and learning about where she came from, she headed out of the desert and into the rainforest. There she has a secret hideout among the RainWings where she disappears and stashes stolen items. She hangs around in the trees near jade mountain during the day and pokes around at night for items of value she could nick.
