Imbroglio

I never asked for this!
----
Cursed to predict the worst possible futures, daughter of two convicted criminals...she tries to fit in, but sometimes that's just not enough...
Imbroglio has the look of a dragoness who's been on the run for a while. Her frame is skeletal and her dark scales worn; her expression one of hunted fear. Even the crimson cloak thrown around her shoulders is in tatters ("...the picture of forgotten sophistication...").
She stands at an average height. She's grateful for this, if only because she can blend in with a crowd much easier than she would've if she'd been much taller.
Her chipped, charcoal coloured horns are sometimes twined with flowers; she likes their colours, and they make her feel beautiful (though she's often told herself that she looks ridiculous with such adornments).
While her scales have some hint of nondescript blue, her spines are pitch black and stand on end. Insane...that's what most assume when they see her for the first time. This assumption is heightened when dragons spot her lucid yellow eyes, which look bulbous and too large for her face.
To complete the picture, Imbroglio's left foretalon bears the Thief's Brand, which she hides with a pair of secondhand gauntlets.

I didn't name myself, if that's what you're thinking.
----
She wishes that she'd hatched a different dragon...on the run now, a criminal of the Night Kingdom, she's taught herself to be cautious, to be independent...there's no place for the weak in her world...
She's scared.
Scared of her visions, scared of the NightWings, scared that her destiny is to become like her parents: traitors to the kingdom and the crown. She's scared of crowds, scared of silence, scared of darkness...
Imbroglio is quiet and reserved. When asked questions about herself, she often shuts down and refuses to talk: and, if that fails, she lashes out, and it's a good idea to take this as a hint that she wants to be left alone.
Though, well, I mean, privately, in her heart, where it really matters...privately, she wishes that someone wouldn't leave her alone, and that she could trust that someone enough to tell them all that happened to her, and then she wouldn't be so alone. She wants a confidante, a friend. Someone she can talk to.
