Hognose

The coding on this page was made by LivVirtual, who learned how to code from these incredibly helpful coding guides!
Introduction
Hognose is a MudWing made in a collaboration, which occurred due to Skyscraper of the SkyWings56's blog post. In it, they pointed out how there were not even a thousand MudWing character pages, when the rest of the Pyrrhian tribes had well over a thousand character pages. This led to JustABeanWing creating a thread on the forums, where many users banded together to make this MudWing. MudWings are underappreciated. We shall make this MudWing to appreciate them.

Appearance
"Actual beauty goes deeper than your scales."
Hognose is a BigWings, and as such, the largest of their siblings. They are an imposing dragon with a burly build; all towering height and hard muscle. They carry themself with assurance, and wear a fearless expression on their face. Their eyes are the brown of rocky cliffsides, and twice as harsh and unforgiving. So too is their voice, which is strong, powerful, and commanding. The way Hognose walks is reminiscient of a soldier's march.
This intimidating appearance that Hognose has belies the gentleness which he shows to his loved ones—namely, his siblings. Whenever he speaks to them, or speaks of them, his voice gains a note of warmth and pride, and his eyes soften with an affectionate light. Then it seems as though his strength is meant for protecting others, and his size is meant to shield them from harm.
Hognose wears few ornaments or accessories, preferring comfort over glamour. However, he does adorn herself with one piece of jewellery; a necklace wrought of copper wires, with a large pendant of polished skyfire fastened to the middle of it. Each of his siblings wear a similar necklace, but theirs are embedded with smaller pendants. All of the pendants were crafted from the same chunk of skyfire they found, and are worn to symbolize their sib group. Hognose is never seen without his. 
Personality
"Listen to me. You're alright. You'll be alright."
Hognose is a kind and caring dragon to those that they love, which is appropriate for a BigWings. They are a natural-born leader; decisive and courageous, but attentive of those around them. In troubling times, they often act as a solid rock of support and stability. This can put Hognose under pressure, as they feel the need to always appear composed and confident. However, they know that when the going gets tough, they can rely on their siblings for help. Hognose is fiercely loyal to them, and can be very overprotective. 
This makes it so that to outsiders, Hognose comes off as a very hostile dragon. She is untrusting towards strangers; if they mess up, if they make one wrong move or mistake, she will forever hold a grudge against them. The continent could split and the moons could fall, but she will remember all of the ways in which you wronged her and her siblings, and she will carry her hate with her beyond death. 
History
"Don't stress over it, love. You're here with us now."
Hognose knew when her time was near.
For days now, she had become increasingly cognizant. She could feel the vastness of the world outside, she knew it was out there, and that she was ready to see it. She wanted to experience that world; to live in it, to be a part of it. 
She was the first to break through the shell of her egg. She clawed and scraped at it until it cracked open, allowing her to tumble to the ground in an ungraceful tangle of scaly limbs. She landed in a pile of mud, and for one disoriented moment she laid there, gulping in the air and reveling in the soft comfort of the earth. 
It was only for one moment. She had to help her siblings out. 
Pushing herself to her feet, she launched at the egg closest to her. A snout with paler coloration around the mouth had already emerged; a sister. Cottonmouth, although neither had any way of knowing this, for they had yet to choose the names they would bear. 
Hognose broke through the walls of her egg and pulled her out, and together, the two turned to work on the next egg. Mellow eyes stared out from a small hole in the egg. They struck around it, widening the hole to pull free a brother. He was almost as large as Hognose, and had warm brown scales with a gritty texture. Earth.
Copper, with a mischievous glint in their eyes and a bright gleam to their scales.
Otter, a wry smile and a wiry, twisting body; extraordinarily fast on both land and in water
Kingsnake, long and lean, but muscular. 
Sprout. Small, growing Sprout, with his bad lungs and weak constitution.
Bullfrog, squat and sturdy, with a scowl on her face but laughter behind her eyes.
Bullsnake. The youngest, but not the weakest. She possessed a sort of ingenuity, and proved herself to be capable many times over. 
She had eight siblings, once, and she had helped each of them find their names. 
One day, they found a large piece of skyfire while searching the woods near the Mud Kingdom
Relationships
"You're our family. We protect each other."
Hognose spends most of her time with her siblings, and cherishes the relationships that she has with them. 
Copper is the second eldest. They have a positive relationship.
Otter is the third eldest. They have a positive relationship.
Sprout is the second youngest. They have a positive relationship.
Bullfrog is the youngest. They have a positive relationship.
However, Hognose has also met several other dragons. She has varying levels of appreciation for them.
Alluvium is a dragon Hognose has known for much of her life, and perhaps one of the only ones she truly cares for outside of her sib group. She empathizes with him.
Chikyu is a MudWing who lives in the Diamond Spray Delta. Hognose and their siblings met her while travelling around the kingdom one day. Due to Chikyu's shyness and the briefness of the interaction, they did not get to know her very well. Hognose feels neutrally about her. 
CursedScales is a NightWing that Hognose met while hunting. They exchanged a few words of introduction, but did nothing more. As such, they are merely acquainted with one another, and Hognose feels neutral towards him. 
Dakriet is that schoolmate Hognose met once and would have forgotten, if not for how utterly annoying he was. His obnoxious and immature behavior left a lasting impression on her. 
Mulch is the neighbor of Hognose and his siblings. They all share a relationship of mutual tolerance with one another.

Trivia
* "Hognose" is the common name for several snake species in the family of Colubridae. They are so called "hognose" due to their characteristic feature of an upturned snout, which brings to one's mind the image of a hog's nose.
