Appearance
Grizli is a large IceWing, with broad shoulders and muscles. He is fairly tall and very bulky, having the build of a true soldier. He is considered massive for his age, which made him an extremely useful asset on the battlefield. He looks to be big enough to be 60, despite being only 34. Although he was a soldier, he is now much more of a gentle giant.
Grizli's scales are a light, cool lavender color. They always appear to be dotted with snow, as faint, pale blueish white speckles dot over his nose, shoulders, back, and wings. Grizli shimmers in the sunlight of the cool Ice Kingdom, much like every IceWing does. He also has many darker dots on him, all a dark blue-purple. These are speckled over his cheeks, neck, wings, and thighs. His wing membranes are faint lavender, and speckled with white and darker spots. 
Grizli is covered in battle scars, each of them revealing blue flesh underneath his scales. This includes a large one on his face, and two on the sides of his neck. There are also many on his underbelly and a few on his wing membranes. He definitly looks the part of a veteran soldier.
Grizli wears few apparel, only typically wearing two large, carved ivory rings around his spiked horns. Other than those, he sometimes sports a pale brown mink fur boa scarf. 
Personality
Grizli is kind and very gentle. He is quiet, reserved, and a little shy from time to time. He loves his friends dearly and always has time for them. Grizli tries his best to help anyone who feels down, and has great sympathy and respect for soldiers and those who have fought before. Although Grizli was a soldier, he prefers not to fight, and would rather relax and sleep. He loves to make teas to serve to his friends, and will protect them no matter what, though he swears to never harm another living soul ever again.
Grizli can be antisocial and distant, and somewhat depressed. This is due to his slight PTSD from his time of war. He also deeply misses Lilija, his missing lover from the days of battle. His friends can try to cheer him up, and it works sometimes, but there are days when Grizli must be by himself. He blames himself for this, and thinks that others blame him as well, leading to many days of depression for him. However, he tries his best to have as many good days as he can, and is thankful for his friends in Firewood Village. 
Abilities
In his day of fighting, Grizli used his strength and size to overpower enemies, and then he would use his strong frostbreath against them. He always tried to end his enemies quickly, he didn't like to make them suffer, he didn't like killing either. But in war, it is what has to be done. Grizli was a talented fighter, but he always hesitated when it came to ending lives. He was always on the front lines, but he took the first chance to retire that he could get.
Grizli now spends many days cooking and making teas, which he has a talent for. Without his own fire, he uses traditional tools to cook and boil the water for his teas. He uses Ice Kingdom redberries and herbs for his teas, as well as any imports from the southern kingdoms that may come in. 
History
Grizli was hatched in the higher end of the 4th Circle, living in an igloo town about a mile away from the IceWing Palace. Growing up, he was raised in a strict family, but one that taught him to love. They taught him family always came first. Grizli had two other brothers and one sister, along with his two mothers. His mothers were skilled hunters who directly served nobles their meals. They taught Grizli how to hunt and cook.
When the time came, Grizli was drafted from his home, into the war, along with all of his other family members. Grizli had to watch as each of his siblings and parents were picked off and killed, bringing Grizli dispair. As he mourned his sister, the last to perish, he met another IceWing named Lilija. Lilija was Grizli's lover, a dragoness five years younger than him, who brought him joy. But it could not be, as the war came to and end, and Lilija went missing. Grizli never knew what happened to her, but he believes she is alive, and that one day, she will return to him. After the war ended, Grizli moved to the small southern Ice Kingdom town of Firewood Village, where he found comfort in friends and fellow veterens. He began to make and sell teas and meals, becoming somewhat of a chef, though he claims he is no such dragon.
