Equinox (SoulsAndSpirits)

Equinox belongs to SoulsAndSpirits. Please don't use her without permission.
== Appearance ==
At first glance, Equinox just looks like an IceWing covered in orange paint. Her main scale color is a pale orange-brown with a few white scales scattered around, and her underbelly and huge wings are sunset colors. Her eyes are pale blue, her claws are brown. The spikes on her neck are shorter than usual, and she has no tail spikes or hooked claws. A long, fresh scar stretches from her left shoulder and across her side. She wears a gold ring with a spark on it.
== Personality ==
Equinox isn't that complicated. She's a cheerful dragon who enjoys other dragons' company, but she's not that good at socializing since she was raised with few dragons around. She often jumps into things without thinking ahead, but when she starts something she'll finish it no matter what. Cleverness and creativity aren't her strong suit, and she doesn't like puzzles or riddles. She loves her family more than anything else.
== Backstory ==
Equinox's mother, Firn, was an IceWing official who left her job to be with her father, a SkyWing guard, after they fell in love when she visited the Sky Kingdom. They settled near a small mountain village and had a daughter. Firn got a new job near the Palace, so Nox spent most of the day with her father, Rust. 
Then, around Nox's sixth birthday, the family was attacked by a group of rebel NightWings who wanted to kill Firn to provoke other IceWing authorities who she kept in contact with. They hoped the attack would shake up the alliance between Queen Glory and Queen Snowfall which would help their argument that Glory was a weak Queen, not fit to rule the NightWings. Firn and Rust managed to fight off the NightWings but Rust was severely injured to the point where he would never fly again. Equinox was in rage and swore to get her revenge against the rebels.
Soon, she discovered she was not alone. The NightWing rebellion was opposed by a whole team of mostly RainWings and loyal NightWings. Equinox was only invited to report what happened during the attack and help identify the rebels, but she also insisted on joining the hunt. They decided to let her, and assigned her to help a more experienced member, Discoverer, who didn't exactly share Nox's optimism and sweetness. She also met Tapir and Sea Nettle, a RainWing investigator and a SeaWing assassin helping with the hunt. Together, they planned to shut down the revolt.
== Trivia ==
* Equinox has cold resistance and can handle bright light, like IceWings. She also radiates cold, but definitely not as much as a full IceWing. Her wings give her SkyWing speed.
* Her ring was a gift from Sea Nettle. It opens to hold a note, or a small amount of poison.
* Nox really doesn't like scavengers. They're annoying little things, don't even taste good.
* She was homeschooled.
== Relationships ==
=== Rust ===
Rust is Equinox's father who she spent most of her time with as a dragonet. He taught her everything, from hunting to history. They both love each other a lot, and Nox writes to him very often. She joined the investigation for him, and she won't give up. Rust is very thankful for all the effort his daughter's putting in, though he's sad she doesn't live with them any more.
=== Firn ===
Equinox and her mother have a pretty ordinary relationship. Firn wasn't around as much as Rust, but she makes sure to spend all her free time with her daughter and husband.
=== Discoverer ===
Equinox is kind of Discoverer's assistant. They follow leads together, but they're not really friends. They're almost polar opposites, which leads to a few arguments, but they're okay with each other. Nox's determination helps push Discoverer forward too.
=== Sea Nettle ===
Sea Nettle and Equinox both see each other as someone very interesting. They're friends and go to each other for advice and ideas (Sea is significantly better at the ideas part). Nox feels bad for Sea's past even though he often assures her he's over it, and Firn and Rust have basically adopted him as their second dragonet.
=== Tapir ===
If Sea's the brother Equinox goes to for advice, Tapir is the brother she goes to if she feels like getting food at 2 AM in the morning. They tease each other over everything, steal each other's stuff, and never want to agree on anything. Tapir learned how to change his scale colors to perfectly match Nox's just so he can do stupid impressions of her. Despite this, they actually make a great team.
