Skitter

Note: My property, don’t edit. thanks & enjoy!
Skitter is the elder sister to Swarm and Sting, all of whom make up the iconic HiveWing Triplets who perform acrobatic acts in Ember’s Circus. She’s the de facto leader of the three, and most know her for her perpetually ice cold expression and ethereal grace. 
== Appearance ==
Skitter is a thin wiry dragon, she has long horns that accentuate her skinniness, and her proud stance makes her appear taller than life. These traits give her an large, sometimes overwhelming, presence.
=== Marks & Accessories ===
== Personality ==
Skitter is a cynical and dower dragon. She always thinks the worst of others and can easily pick out lies and insecurities. She’ll speak her mind bluntly without sympathy which often leads to conflict, and she’s willing to back up her words and convictions with violence and scathing remarks.
She’s perpetually angry and tired with the world and hates how unfair it is. Despite this, she also appreciates its harshness which turned her strong and cunning. Skitter takes pride in her resilience and determination, both traits that have helped her and her sisters survive and thrive. 
Originally she was a very empathy and emotional dragon, but as she aged, and as the world worn her down more and more, she’s buried she feelings under mountains of cynicism. Though that isn’t to say she’s without feeling, she’s a dragon of conviction and cares much more then the surface would reveal.

==== Ember - neutral/negative ====
Ember, her boss. Skitter is well aware of her boss’s less than savory past. She’s not sure what exactly he did , but she knows it couldn’t have been anything good. However, she won’t bite the talon the feeds her. They possess a vaguely amicable relationship, though occasionally Ember will tease her with dark remarks that he knows bothers her. 
==== Swarm & Sting - positive ====
Her sisters. She only hatched a few minutes earlier than the two, but she holds the title of elder sister firmly. She’s always cleaning up their messes and sometimes she feels like she’s the only one in their family actually trying to stay alive. However, despite all their trouble, there’s nothing she wouldn’t do for them. 
==== Gossamer & Glass - neutral/positive ====
Her coworkers. They’re the second most responsible adults in the Circus (Xeric, Ember, Cinder, and Ash are all… not irresponsible, but not necessarily trustworthy). There are so many dragonets and teens in the Circus that she has to care for them as one of the only responsible adults. The two have a healthy relationship and a respectfully kind daughter, so when she’s not caring for her more immature coworkers, she can trust the couple to hold down the den. Despite this trust, their relations are distant.
