Nautilus (Jackie)

Nautilus is a leucistic Sandwing and Seawing hybrid. He is unable to fly due to nerve damage in his wings and leaves them hanging at his side, often knocking them into things. They are a captain and merchant onboard a cargo ship named the "Cephalopod". As the captain of the Cephalopod, Nautilus is in charge of navigation and directing day-to-day affairs. 
== Appearance ==
As mentioned before, Nautilus is leucistic and is primarily white in color, with a cream sail and wing membranes, and pinkish stripes and eyes. Their sails are choppy, going down their entire neck, back, and ending just before the tip of their tail. They are always wearing their sailor cap and pink neckerchief scary. Two tips of his sail peek out from under the cap.
== Personality ==
Nautilus is happy-go-lucky and very adaptive (very much a "go with the flow" type fellow). They are easily impressed by the natural world and do their best to enjoy simple, mundane pleasures. He is reliable in the sense of if he has a task, he will do it well, but can sometimes struggle with taking initiative when he'd rather just float through life. This sometimes conflicts with his role as captain of his ship and his want to do the best for his crew and friends.
== Relationships ==
=== Kingfisher ===
Fisher is Nautilus's best friend and long-time romantic partner. They grew up together, and started the Cephalopod together. Nautilus is happy to be with Fisher, but Fisher's desire for adventure causes some strain on their relationship, as Nautilus does not share it. Nautilus wishes to stay on the Cephalopod with their crew, and worries that Fisher wants to leave to explore to fulfill her dreams. 
=== Nimbus ===
Nimbus is one of the first dragons that joined the Cephalopod crew. Nautilus is close friends with him, and often helps him work on the ship or on one of his experiments. Nautilus finds his passion charming, and is happy to listen him ramble about a new gadget any time. Nautilus appreciates the child-like curiosity they both share.
=== Salmon ===
Nautilus is friends with Salmon. They often sit together in silence and just enjoy each others company. Nautilus encourages Salmon's love for story-telling, and is always willing to share a funny story about themself or Kingfisher with her.
=== Flying Fish ===
Nautilus wants to be friends with Flying Fish, finding his attitude funny and endearing, but has been unable to due to Flying Fish being intimidated by him. He doesn't really know how to make Flying Fish feel comfortable with him either, as he's never really been one to intimidate.
=== Synth ===
Nautilus understands Synth's feelings of being isolated from a young age and does his best to be there for Synth and to help light out when she needs it. They've bonded over their love of discovery, and often talk about the Kingdom of Sea, as they are both somewhat homesick. They often tell each other about places the other hasn't gone, and will sometimes plan routes for the Cephalopod to travel to new places they both want to see.
=== Fennec ===
Nautilus greatly appreciates the work Fennec does aboard the Cephalopod and is a major fan of their cooking. Fennec will often help Nautilus out with day-to-day affairs and in return Nautilus will help them cook. They're both comfortable around each other and neither feels the need to further their friendship from where it is.
