Taint(VanquishedHydra4844)

== Appearance: ==
Taint is a thin, underfed RainWing of medium height. His scales are normally a grayish green shade, like olives, with darker green overscales, and patches of faded green gray scales. Taint's wings are pale gray green, and his underbelly is a dark olive green. His claws, horns, and neck spikes are dark brown. With that coloring, one could easily mistake him for a LeafWing from a distance. Taint's eyes, which happen to be the only bright color on him, are a yellow-orange color. Taint has several scars on his back ankles, some on his neck, and some on his muzzle, though not as many as other dragons.
== Backstory: ==
=== Pre-series: ===
Taint, whose original name was Cassowary, hatched in the Rainforest Kingdom to Clementine and Spectrum of the RainWings. For three years, he lived with his parents, and had a relatively happy life. When he was three, his parents had another dragonet, Cassowary's younger sister, Garden. Garden was born with no venom, and Spectrum hated that his second dragonet wasn't perfect, like Cassowary. Spectrum tried to kill Garden, but Clementine stopped him, and convinced him to raise Garden like any other RainWing, minus the venom. Spectrum reluctantly agreed, and went off to be frustrated somewhere else.
Four years later, he witnessed his father, without the slightest show of remorse, brutally butcher his mother, and maim Garden by ripping every single one of her claws off, as well as her tail. Garden managed to escape by biting him on the forearm, and she vanished into the rainforest, leaving a trail of blood spatters as she went. Having killed Cassowary's mother and tried to do the same to his sister, Spectrum went after Cassowary, who had turned different shades of green to try and hide. Spectrum knew that Cassowary was nearby, and attacked him, knocking him out. Cassowary came to, and immediately noticed that he wasn't able to move, or yell for help, or anything. Spectrum tied a rope tightly around his neck, and sold him to a SandWing, who took him to the Kingdom of Sand, and showed him off as an object of curiosity. After touring around the Kingdom of Sand for a while, Cassowary was taken to the Sky Kingdom. After several performances, Cassowary was sold to Queen Sparrow, who gave him to her daughter Solar as a present. Solar, not knowing what his name was, renamed him Taint, and locked him up in the dungeons with another dragon, a SilkWing HiveWing hybrid, named Odonata.
=== Darkened Skies: ===
Taint is not seen until the very end of Darkened Skies, when he is escaping with Odonata.
