Dawn (Nightcore28173)

This character belongs to Nightcore28173 and theft will earn you a one way ticket to getting reported to a mod so no stealing! Dawn is made for a character contest.
Queen Dawn is the 10th queen of the first tribe in Pyrrhia which later split into the SkyWings and the SandWings and another long extinct tribe (except maybe for Traveler). She is rumored to have devised the burial method of the SkyWings and the Full Moon Festival tradition of the SandWings. See Dawnfire for her after death form.
== Appearance ==
Dawn has gradient red to yellow scales from her snout to the tip of her tail. Her wings are covered with pink swirls that look like 'they're dancing through endless time and space'. She is a famous in her tribe and therefore is usually decked out in fabulous jewelry. She wears a pure gold crown with three gems on it, red, yellow and pearly white. She wears a similar gold tail band when tail bands were still in fashion. Dawn's eyes are warm magenta and radiate peace and harmony. 
== Personality ==
Dawn has been described with many personalities but they all agree on one thing:
She was kind, fair, and a peace loving queen. Queen Dawn was always a refreshing break for the tribe from Queen Firestorm's war-filled reign and Queen Cloud's chaotic, uncertain reign. Dawn wasn't the type to flaunt her riches or brag out loud to poor dragons. Dawn only displayed her treasure so extravagantly to show the other new tribes that she was no push-over. 
Queen Dawn's reign is famous as the first one to have no territorial disputes, war, or trouble. All in all, very peaceful. Many believe it was a blessing but it's just as likely it was because of Queen Dawn herself. Her first act as queen was to sign a peace treaty with every existing tribe and to build an orphanage and shelter to help the poor make a living. Queen Dawn firmly believes that a kingdom prospers if all the citizens are equal and carry the same weight on their shoulders. This makes her very popular and universally loved.
== History ==
As the legend tells, Queen Dawn was a normal child living a normal life in her mother's kingdom, getting ready to become queen. Her mother was fair and the subjects loved her but something about Dawn's aura made it clear she was going to be a good queen as well.
Dawn lived her life mostly in ignorance to the dangers going on outside the castle. But when her mother died of an unknown disease, she was thrust into he face of reality and forced to become queen at the age of just 10.
Dawn was devastated and the whole kingdom agreed to give the former queen a proper send off into the afterlife.
=== Details on the SkyWing Ritual ===
So, Dawn spent forever devising a ritual the would become the SkyWing traditional way to send off the dead after thousands of years.
The ritual consists of laying the dead dragon on silk and wrapping the body with similar material. Then they are placed somewhere the sun can shine down on them and the wind can blow through the silk and they can feel the elements one last time. After ten days, they are taken to a grave in the canyons where they are burned to ashes along with their silk wrappings, which are said to harness the power of all the elements after the ten day cycle outside, and their bones are either buried or dumped into the canyons.
The silk used must be special silk that is kept in the palace storage room for it's entire life without ever feeling the wind. It is rumored that this make the elements gathered inside more powerful.
Queen Firestorm became the first dragon to be sent to the afterlife the traditional SkyWing way.
It is unclear how but soon, that tradition spread across the tribe until everyone did it. The SandWings that eventually split away from the tribe clearly abandoned that ritual but the SkyWing tribe still uses it to this day.
Despite being very young, it was clear Dawn was suited to become queen. She was fair and kind to all her subjects and treated them all equally. She made sure to keep the kingdom running and changed the rules to the better of her tribe.
Her reign was rumored to be the most peaceful of them all. In fact, not a single war happened in her reign which is a first.
=== Details on the Full Moon Festival ===
Another legend tells of the day Queen Dawn became queen. An old book preserved in the SkyWing libraries says:
A full moon bright, round as a plate. Light falls on an egg, casting a silver sheen.
And from that day on, war was a century away.
And it is believed that from the moment Dawn was born, war and conflict stopped for 100 years. That was also the day Queen Firestorm signed a peace treaty with the last queen and Pyrrhia was united. Due to this, the subjects of the kingdom have celebrated a sacred day called the Full Moon Festival up to this day.
The Full Moon Festival is a day for laughter and happiness and most importantly, peace. For the SkyWings and SandWings, if blood was spilt on this faithful day, the tribes would go into a war that would never end.
Despite this, the tribe organizes a full blown party every full moon which consisted of a royal ball with every citizen attending, and a prayer to be murmured at the break of dawn and to be completed before the sun was fully showing. This prayer is secret and guarded carefully by the members of the tribe. Any information leak would result in punishment.
The treats served on the Full Moon Festival consists of:
-Moon Pies: A flaky, locust seed paste filled, pie. This pie is usually served as a desert when the moon is at it's highest. Sweet and crispy, many citizens, especially the dragonets, enjoy it and anticipate the time when they would get to eat it. Intricate patterns may be carved on the top of the dessert.
-Midnight Brew: The most common dinner served in the kingdom during the festival. It consists of cooked meat of anything topped with mushrooms found only in the steepest ravines and a special seaweed traded in by the ancestors of the SeaWings. This hearty stew is sure to warm up a poor soul on a cold night so it is made easily accessible by the local poor and homeless.
-Dragonberry Punch: Sweet? Check! Smooth? Check! Nutritious? Check! Dragonberry Punch is an excellent alternative to alcoholic substances. A dragonberry has it's seeds removed and is crushed into a bright red juice which is served with honey, assorted berries, and an optional lemon slice. Dragonets enjoy it and many have learned the very easy recipe to make it. An offering of the punch is poured at the alter during the morning oath. Available anywhere in the olden times but in the present, we know nothing of it other than a few scraped up recipes.
Queen Dawn organizes the festival herself and decks out the palace in brilliantly shaped light bulbs caved by dragonets. Some fun activities to do on the Full Moon Festival are:
