Cormorant (PL2)

Cormorant was an adult female SeaWing introduced in Albatross. She was a SeaWing princess and the daughter of Albatross, being the only offspring to be an animus dragon. Albatross intentionally enchanted her magic to be bottled up to prevent Lagoon from using Cormorant. She survived the SeaWing massacre due to her father enchanting her to be immune to his spells, though out of fear, banished herself to Isolation Island.
She would be the ancestor of the second removed royal SeaWing family, the first to have an animus since Boa's spell.
== Appearance==
Cormorant had bluish gray scales that were as dark as the trenches below with hints of silver as if the ravines cracked with light. She had sweet, adorable black eyes like black opal beads. Surrounding them is a peculiar white markings like teardrops falling from her eyes. She is short, round and plump with a thicker tail and neck. Cormorant always wore a warm, gleaming smile. She was often compared to Albatross as a 'more acceptable version' by many of her more distant relatives.
She has a chip on her snout like a cleft beak that showed her gleaming, white teeth no matter how tightly she closed her mouth. She wore many pearls, a ring of black ones around her wrist gifted from her father. Another was a gleaming, dolphin earring that sparkled when the sun was the highest.
==Personality==
Cormorant is sweet, playful, and optimistic. She didn't believe in complete evil and that every dragon had a cause that felt like treasure to them, even the worst. She can be naïve and non-judgmental, often stated as "a dragon you could trust your darkest secrets with". Cormorant is aware of her gullibility, often pointed out by her father, but believes such a trait can be a good thing.
Many believe Cormorant wouldn't react to betrayal, though such is the latter, having a bitter taste when others lie to her. She remains blissful but has an excellent memory of those who abuse her tranquility. She is unlikely to react on these memories, stated by her father, and is more likely to calmly confront them.
==Biography==
===Pre-Series===
Albatross had the last egg with his partner, Cormorant, before she died 2 years later. Within this year, Cormorant unintentionally enchanted a pebble to bring her father to her during a thunderstorm for comfort. Confused at first, he eventually denoted Cormorant as an animus, a quality of her yet to be known by others. To keep her magic secret, he enchanted her witnesses to forget about the event and anyone else told of it. Fearful of his anger, instead Albatross confronted Cormorant of her magic and made her promise to keep it hidden. Later, Albatross enchanted Cormorant's coconut to not move to her verbal command.
3 years later she was caught by her father enchanting her earring to sparkle when she grew jealous of Manta's earring for a ball. She was enchanted to bring all of her touched objects and nullify them of magic. Albatross and Cormorant grew into an argument about her magic, eventually ending in Cormorant promising for sure never to use it again, though Albatross new the promise was faulty. He enchanted a spear head to slice through her beak whenever she had a violent thought to make it appear she hurt herself by accident. Cormorant panicked and told the incident to Albatross pleading she didn't enchant it to break. Aware of the enchantment, Albatross only used the situation to keep her away from using her magic entirely. To ensure this, he enchanted her earring to make her reject her magic entirely.

==Relationships==
=== Albatross ===
Cormorant loves her father. She wishes she could enchant herself to always be by his side as she is often aloof towards others without him. Albatross often checks on Cormorant to ensure her safety and dislikes it when Lagoon is around her, attempting to keep the two from interacting as much as possible. When she learned of his enchantment on her beak, Cormorant felt betrayed, though understood it was out of fear, wishing he'd told her sooner or even didn't do it at all. She was aware of her drink given to him being enchanted but trusted him enough that it was beneficial, proven true as it protected her from his magic. She barely used her magic because of his wishes, able to convince him later to only use it for small things that aren't easy to tell. Whenever she overestimated an enchantment, Albatross would always cover for it. 
Cormorant was often questioned on whether Albatross could go insane, but Cormorant believed he never would. She believed if he did, he would ensure everyone else was safe from him before he did. She completely froze during the SeaWing massacre, unable to think or even move. She didn't believe the event was occurring, especially at Manta's death, believing it as nothing but a nightmare. She was the last in the royal family to visit his far out beyond the sea, considering attempting to enchant it back to life, but would rather keep her promise of refusing to use her magic.
=== Manta & Eel ===
Cormorant was somewhat distant from her siblings but loved them. Cormorant often sought Manta whenever she was stuck on an issue or indecisive. She occasionally visited Eel and looked over his dragonets whenever he wasn't present. Cormorant mourned their deaths, wishing they had just ran to her instead.
=== Fathom, Pearl, Current & Scallop ===
Cormorant was fond of her niece and nephews and often watched them while their parents were gone. She wishes she could've taught Fathom how to use his magic and trained him more, though she knew Albatross would never allow it.
=== Lagoon ===
Cormorant shared her father's distaste for her aunt. She was aware Albatross' wariness of her magic lied within Lagoon abusing hers for her personal gain. One of her thoughts that triggered her beak-chipping enchantment was thinking of enchanting Lagoon to choke to death on her fish the next morning. She since has grown wary of violent thoughts, though is careful around Lagoon and often intentionally delays her response to the queen's requests.
=== Robin===
Cormorant grew interested in the SkyWing soldier prior to the SeaWing massacre. Albatross was aware of Cormorant's affinity for Robin, being the only sorrow he felt prior to his massacre. He wishes that they weren't in the main area of the party and instead the outskirts. It is stated Cormorant would've likely fled with him if he was still alive after the massacre.
