:"It's nice to just sit on the beach and only focus on the waves. Helps clear the head. Washes everything away." 
:Avon smiled, but the grin didn't quite reach her eyes.

Avon is a female SeaWing who is currently wandering Pyrrhia. Previously a resident of Shining Scale, a small town in the Bay of a Thousand Scales, she is currently attempting to map out the hard-to-reach and forgotten places on the continent. She is the sister of Flying Fish, and hatched in the same clutch as him.
__TOC__
==Appearance==
Being of relatively average build, the cartographer's muscles are quite a bit more toned than the average SeaWing's due to spending most of her time outside of the water. As a result she's not the best swimmer, being quite out of practice at even using her gills.
Despite her dull midnight blue scales, Avon is wholly SeaWing. Her underbelly is a slightly lighter shade than her main scales, and the plated scales on the top of her head, back, and wings are a vibrant -in comparison- navy blue. Her wings and sail are a washed-out royal blue, and her scales have been described as colors one would see on a moonless night at sea.
Avon's most notable feature is likely the extra photopheres speckled on her gill covers and sail. While almost unnoticeable normally, they can glow with the same electric blue color the rest of her glowing stripes have when lit.
==Personality==
Avon is a logical, goal-oriented, straightforward, and at times callous and uncaring dragon. At times she can and will abandon everything to chase her whims and ideas, and she is quite prone to tunnel vision, shutting others out just to achieve her goals in a more timely fashion. This worldview ends up hurting her more often than not; as a result, she has a hard time creating and keeping meaningful relationships, and is quite lonely.
Despite this, she is incredibly courageous and unshakable, willing to dive headfirst into the maw of danger to protect who or what she cares about. Not many non-IceWings can say they found a way to travel around the Great Ice Cliff without being impaled, but Avon's fortitude and will allowed her to brave the near-subzero seas of the northern peninsula just to track the seasonal drift of ice floes.
Her favorite part of her occupation is the cartography itself, and Avon feels immense satisfaction over the fact that she is one of the few who is still finding Pyrrhia's secrets, and sharing them with dragonkind. However, she sells her maps and charts for quite high prices, due to how much effort she puts into them. Most of Avon's profits are used to buy high-quality ink, parchment, and exploration or navigation tools, as the SeaWing doesn't particularly care for treasure.
==Biography==
===Pre-Series===
:When Avon was a dragonet, she lived in a town called Shining Scale with her family. Her dragonethood was peaceful and idyllic, yet boring, and she was soon seized by an insatiable wanderlust. The day she turned seven, the young SeaWing packed her bags and left home. She then spent the next two or so years traveling the Kingdom of the Sea aimlessly, drifting from place to place without a care in the world. 
:By the time Avon grew tired of wandering, she returned to Shining Scale, only to find out from Flying Fish that both of her parents had disappeared a few weeks after she left, apparently deciding they wanted nothing to do with their dragonets anymore. She had never been that close to her parents, but the thought still stung. 
:After a few weeks of continued moping, the SeaWing eventually realized that her wandering and exploring could have a purpose; if she made detailed maps and charts of places she traveled to, other dragons could experience the strange and wonderful sights she had seen. Avon set off once again with a much less hurried goodbye, and has been exploring and documenting Pyrrhia ever since. Although her cartography skills were shaky and less than mediocre at first, the years of practice have turned her work into a sight to behold.

==Relationships==
===Flying Fish===
Avon considers her brother one of the few dragons she can actually trust. She makes sure to visit him in Shining Scale once every few months or so, where they both talk at length about their experiences, the future, and other worries and hopes. She has always been a huge fan of his cooking, and they often lightheartedly joke about the only reason why Avon ever visits being his restaurant. The explorer has spilled any and all of her secrets to Flying Fish, save for one; that she secretly hopes she will find their parents one day during her travels, wanting to know why they left.
===Disaster===
Avon is wary of the NightWing, as although their tribes may have secretly been allies during the War of SandWing Succession, they were just as mysterious to their allies as to their enemies. Avon thinks he's hiding something about the reason why he defected from his tribe, but trusts Flying Fish's judgement enough to not confront him about it. She won't admit it, but she's secretly fascinated by the way the NightWing has with machinery, and is always excited when he shows her how his inventions work when she visits Shining Scale.
==Trivia==

*Her favorite color is red-orange, and she enjoys fall weather.
*Avon dislikes most animals, especially noisy ones, as she considers them to be distracting.
