Eclipse

Eclipse is Chipper's OC, and occasionally used to represent me. Although not originally created as a sona, she has previously been used as such by me - but, currently, she is just an OC. You may not use her.
__TOC__
==Appearance==
Eclipse is a RainWing who doesn't look like a pure RainWing, usually. Having been adopted as an egg by NightWings, she gained a tendency to mimic NightWings - a weird NightWing would probably stand out less than a colourful RainWing with a group of NightWings.
However, she's ended becoming more confident, wanting to stand out more - this is where her current appearance comes from.
Eclipse has a few different 'forms' that she goes back to. However, obviously, they all have something in common - her body. She is fairly thin, and serpentine, even for a RainWing. Her claws are curved and sharpened frequently, and her horns curve quite a lot. However, the right horn is broken in half, due to an incident a long time ago. Her eyes are a bright blue-green colour, leaning more towards green. While she does have a tendency to 'lose control' of the colours of her wings, she likes purple, and sometimes turns every scale lilac. However, this is not her main 'form'.
She also wears glasses, which, despite her recent love of 'standing out', are actually fairly simple. Dark frames, circular lenses. She has two pairs - one with additional twisting arms to go around the horns, and one without them.
Eclipse's most RainWing-like form is what her 'natural' form would be like. A shimmering colour somewhere between violet and pink, with purple-blue overscales and lilac underscales. Her wings are a dark purple, fading to a pinker colour towards the tips. Her frills are similar, though it's more of a hint of dark purple at the 'base'. Despite this being the form she 'naturally' takes with a bit of concentration, Eclipse doesn't tend to go for this form in public, though while asleep she'll likely either take this form or just end up camouflaging or changing colours as she dreams. She also has an alternate version of this form, generally taken more when with RainWings, where the dark purple and pink on her wings/frills are replaced with a deep blue and turquoise, along with her colours just generally tending towards the cool side.
Her 'secondary' form is NightWing-ish - the sort where other dragons might just assume she's a somewhat-weird NightWing at a glance. Her scales are a deep, dark grey, with a somewhat purple tinge. Her overscales are slightly paler, and slightly more purple-pink. She keeps her frills folded back, and black. However, when Eclipse has stronger emotions, it tends to be her frills that show the colours first - make that strange NightWing too annoyed and she may display a vibrant red frill. Her wings aren't actually black - it's hard to tell when she's by herself, but if you compare them to those of her sister's, you can see that they're just a very deep purple-ish colour.
Her 'NightWing' wings are speckled with the usual NightWing 'stars', though they, too, are an extremely pale lilac colour. An easy way to tell that she's just a RainWing mimic is from the fact that she usually keeps her wings shut. While many don't realise this at a glance, NightWings only have their 'stars' on the undersides of their wings. Eclipse tends to unconsciously display her 'stars' on the top as well, however. Though she's fairly good at keeping her emotions limited to her hidden frill, her wings display patches of colour at the edges that quickly fade far more often than Eclipse realises.
In her NightWing form, Eclipse keeps a deep purple-pink underbelly, which may shimmer in the light - after all, there have been NightWings with purple or even green underbellies. If she remembers, Eclipse may also turn one of the scales by her eyes a silver-lilac colour. However, it's hard to keep this up without concentration, so this is one of many reasons why many dragons quickly realise that she's at least part RainWing. Besides, she's never been good at faking either of the NightWing powers.
Eclipse is entirely able to 'fully' mimic a NightWing if she truly needs to for some reason, but she doesn't do this often, especially with the recent 'merging' of the RainWing and NightWing tribes - it's less dangerous for her and her family to participate in society now.
Finally, there is Eclipse's third, and preferred form in public. Though it was once difficult to keep it up to every detail, she loves the positive attention it tends to get. It is very similar to her NightWing form - however, she makes her underbelly more of a vibrant purple-pink, and it seems to shimmer more. She has lilac spots, going down her neck and body, and the usual line that goes down the body just above the underbelly is usually lilac, though it does sometimes turn black depending on her mood.
However, the part that she's most proud of 'mastering' is her wings. If she's really concentrating, Eclipse's wing 'stars' can look more like actual stars, with a (flat) 'glow'. She lets in her emotions more, though mainly a few certain emotions at managing to accomplish this 'unique' appearance - pride, happiness, and delight. The wings fade to dark purple partway through, with nebula-like 'clouds' of pink and pale purple blending in towards the 'ends'. She does have a tendency to let these colours change to much less nebula-like colours with her mood, but, usually, the amazement of any watchers and their compliments is enough to keep her full of pride from the fact that she can paint a universe, right there on her wings.
She keeps her frills much brighter, sometimes even going as far as to keep them the stereotypical "happy RainWing" bright pink. While Eclipse is not always guaranteed to be able to keep herself in this form, she has had training to do this.
While the third form isn't her default 'NightWing mimic' form, she is usually seen in it in any 'photos' or drawings, though photographs aren't the most common for her. She can keep it for the time it takes to paint her, but, in everyday life, if she uses it at all, she uses a less-detailed version. Typically, now, she uses the most RainWing-like form.
== Personality ==
Once, about three years ago, Eclipse was a shy, nervous dragon. She liked attention, but she was always terrified of it being negative - however, at some point, that changed. Eclipse, obviously, shares many traits with her younger self. Once again, at some point, she did change. She turned more prideful, more confident. If someone insults her, now, she's more likely to simply end up... ignoring them. Despite her lack of an actual response to things like this, she tends to have her anger or sadness painted on her frills.
Eclipse isn't quite as shy, now. One thing that she shares with her younger self is her love of being alone. A few dragons can give her some attention, but she simply can't handle crowds. Eclipse can meet a new friend, but she'd rather not have to stay around them for too long. Unless they're praising her, of course. Eclipse thrives on attention. This isn't to say that she doesn't care about others, but it can become somewhat grating. She's about as selfish as any average dragon, and she seems quite compassionate...usually. She's somewhat lacking in sympathy and empathy, but she tries to 'make up for it' with her actual actions.
She'd call herself...not really a pessimist, but not entirely an optimist. She acknowledges the risks, but that doesn't stop her from going right ahead and doing something anyway, just to see if she can get the best possible outcome. Eclipse enjoys art, and tends to use charcoal for drawings. While she does indeed love darker colours (possibly the influence of her sister trying to lean in to the whole 'goth aesthetic' thing), she...obviously likes purple. Violets, usually, along with other cool colours. Indeed, despite having only four 'main' forms, she likes combining different parts of each form together.
Eclipse used to be somewhat 'disconnected' from other dragons in general, due to her upbringing, but she was somewhat influenced by the nearby RainWings. She is almost nocturnal at this point, not doing much for most of the day and being more active at night. This both aligns with her family's sleeping times and with her suntime. Her 'mood colours' tend to align with the usual RainWing 'mood colours', being partially instinctive. Then again, she wasn't completely isolated, so it's entirely possible that it was also learnt.

== Trivia ==
* Eclipse enjoys meat an unusual amount for a RainWing, though this may simply be due to influences from her family.
* Eclipse was my first Wings of Fire OC, and has changed greatly since her original state.
