Alpenglow the SkyWing

NOTE: This character is what I like to call a 'backstory character'. She does not play an active part in the world she is in, nor is she particularly important - she exists mostly to take a part in history. Thus, she is unlikely to be used anywhere, other than to be mentioned by other characters. You may not use her.
There are a few different stories as to why animus SkyWings are culled before having a chance to pass on their genes, and why even those allowed to live, live restrained by strict rules. There's the typical 'unnatural' stuff, the power of a particularly lucky malevolent animus, the way even a well-meaning dragon can ruin it all. But there is also the legend of a SkyWing animus, specifically a 'willpower animus', whose curiosity led to her own death, whose magic gave her the ability to go too far. A tragic figure, one where others' memories of her are surprisingly positive, for such an unnatural being. The stories are dubious, but the figure involved was undoubtedly real. This is Alpenglow.
== APPEARANCE ==
Alpenglow was a slim SkyWing, though not spindly, with red scales that tended more towards pink than orange. Her main scales were an average dull red, while her underscales were more of a cardinal red. Her overscales were similar to her underscales, but duller, closer to her main scales. Her wings were deep garnet-red, with paler cloud-like patterns towards the edges. Her horns were a burgundy colour, smaller than average, and ended in an elegant curl, and her spines were long. Her nose horn curved unusually - first back, then forth - and her claws were curved in such a way that it's obvious that she usually preferred to perch on balcony edges or perches, rather than climb on rocks. Her ears were long and wavy, generally drooping downwards. Her eyes were rounded, innocent-looking, and gave off a faint pink glow - a sign of her magic.
In build, Alpenglow was the perfect idea of a SkyWing, with legs and feet good for hanging or perching, but also with wings extremely well-suited to flying. Her somewhat strong build in general was due to both training and simple luck with genetics. Her scales were polished, and she refused to have jewels embedded in her scales, but she did tend to wear jewellery. The pride of the royal family, and practically a part of them, simply due to her abilities. Of course, that was before she died.
What remains of her skeleton/scales is currently displayed in the Pyrrhian History Museum (the one in Erne), posed as if staring up at the sky with her wings stretched out, protected from visitors by a glass case. The amount of bones left behind aren't quite enough to assemble a full skeleton, the missing pieces replaced with bones of glass. She is very fragile, and cleaned carefully, due to how...singed her remains are. Not much of her skull and front half still remains, but there are still some relatively-whole bones towards her back half, and even some (damaged) scales. There have been multiple paintings of her living self, meaning her true appearance hasn't been completely lost.
