Physalis (WillowChimes)

== Appearance ==
Physalis is an albino SkyWing, so her scales are a pale white. She is a lithe dragon, trained in the art of agility and capture.
== Relatives ==
She is the youngest daughter of Kestrel of the Talons of Peace. After fleeing the Sky Kingdom, Kestrel met Scorpion, a young SkyWing who had been adopted by a SandWing family, and she grew to love him. They had one dragonet.
Peril, although Physalis's half-sister, is not particularly sought after by Physalis. She prefers to not have any special connections with anyone.
== Backstory ==
Born in the Talons of Peace, Physalis grew in a somewhat unchanging environment. She never met her mother, Kestrel, and she was left in the capable claws of her father.
After Tenax ran away when she was two years old, Physalis grew colder and harder. Although a sweet, kind dragonet at first, the pain of her father abandoning her raked across her heart like claws, and so she decided to train in an attempt to show dragons that she was worth their attention.
On her third birthday, Physalis discovered that she was an animus. She had been fishing in a nearby pond when another dragonet began to tease her about her scales and her smaller stature. Physalis had shouted, "Just go away!" and the other dragonet obliged instantly.
Curious, Physalis continued to test her animus powers. At first she worried that it had been a coincidence, until she enchanted a gemstone that told her where her father was. As her animus powers grew, she became less and less frigid.
After her fourth birthday, Physalis learned that she was to be assassinated by Deathbringer due to her animus powers. Horrified and hurt, Physalis fled into the Claws of the Clouds Mountains and used her magic to hide herself.
During her hiding, Physalis concluded that she should never be close to anyone ever again, lest she should be hurt. She had thought that the Talons of Peace were her family.
But she was wrong.
== Occupation ==
A NightWing/SeaWing hybrid confronted her later on, during the time when she was hiding. His name was Nightshade, and he was an animus, like her. He had started the Animus Guild, a secret organization where animus dragons could have protection and use their animus powers.
Physalis reluctantly consented. After several moons of intense and rigorous training, she was given the title "Nightshade's Claw." Two other dragons are known to be in this Guild, one also a Nightshade's Claw and another still in training.
== Aspire ==
Physalis longs to know someone she can trust. Even with other dragons, she is very secretive and cold. Her personality consists of frigid glares, stinging retorts and a certain toughness that comes from being hurt over and over again.
