Prince Anthus

"Acanthis, I don't have time for this.."
=== Note ===
This is a character from a fantribe called the Stormwings. Check it out here!
== Overview ==
Anthus is the prince regent and current ruler of the Stormwings, trying his best to make sure the group that came with him to Pantala doesn't turn against itself and tear itself apart. He's been stretched thin for the longest while thanks to the events leading up their appearance on the new continent, so it's not uncommon to see him break character.
== Appearance ==
Anthus is primarily purple in color, with a yellow sail denoting his royal blood. Everything about him, from his small and generally non-threatening build to his irritable and tired nature seems to scream "dragonet going through a phase," despite him bordering on being an adult. More often than not, he can be seen wearing a pair of worn and scratched glasses that are similar to those from the Hives.
== Personality ==
At his core, Anthus is mostly laid-back and chill, usually the first to chip in during conversation.
As of the tribe's arrival on the Pantalan continent though, he's almost transformed into a completely different dragon, seeming tired, sluggish and a bit irritable if anything. Even slight annoyances are prone to causing small outbursts, although he tries his best to keep them to a minimum. Ruling an entire tribe hasn't been the kindest thing to him, especially with the amount of things that were put on his plate the second he did.
== Backstory ==
See here for the full history of the tribe.
He was hatched to Queen Hera as a twin of Acanthis during the commonly-called "pre-arrival age" of the tribe. He was originally supposed to become the heir to the throne if Hera were to die, because Acanthis would be too young to rule.
While Anthus was 11 (in Human Years,) Squall overtook the throne, the tribe began fighting amongst each other and eventually split into two sides: the ones that remained loyal to Hera, and the ones that favored her sister and new queen, Squall. Anthus brought Acanthis with her to choose Squall's side. As the StormWings' manic fighting began to spill over into the other tribes, causing the continent to descend into absolute chaos, it began to sink.
Anthus and Acanthis escaped along with Squall and her group of StormWings from the all-out war on the sinking continent, hopping along islands to keep themselves alive and searching for new land to make their new permanent home on.
A few weeks before they reached the Pantalan continent, Squall died, leaving behind an egg and a distraught Anthus to take the reins of what was left of the tribe, becoming the prince regent and new ruler of the tribe.
Things have only gotten worse from there for him for the time being, as they apparently came in during the HiveWings' hunt for Blue and assorted company (somewhere around Book 12 or 13.) The Hives unfortunately had enough dragons to divert towards the new tribe on the block, deciding to send Hivewings their way to attack them under the suspicion of being painted-over LeafWings, like what Blue pulled 3 books earlier. An uncertain future stands for the tribe as Anthus sees it, but is still trying his best to keep everything together between that, Squall's hatched dragonet that he named Celsi, managing dragons during the effective wartime, and a few actual LeafWings finding solace within their pseudo-territory despite the language barrier, which has only increased the Hivewings' hostility towards them, among other things.
