Blackberry

Blackberry is an enigmatic hybrid of the ancient BeetleWings and NightWings, though in modern day she claims to be a simple SilkWing. She has lived for thousands of years due to an animus enchantment on her brooch, with her sole drive being to revive her long-forgotten master and restore Pyrrhia to its glory days. She is not above using lies, manipulation, or violence to achieve her goals.
Personality
Blackberry has always been observant and on the quieter side, though as a dragonet she was slightly more outspoken and sharp-tongued. It was this trait of hers that Vesuvius saw and took an interest in, since many of the dragons he had met would cower away from him instead of speaking to him directly, and it is why he took her in at a young age to train her as a warrior. 
Blackberry has never been adept at fighting, though, and her strength lies in her words and wit. She has a knack for strategy and planning, with the patience to carry out a plan even if it takes hundreds of years to come to fruition. Over the years she’s come to be colder, more calculating, and less willing to put herself into personal harm. Instead, she opts to manipulate others into doing her bidding. Subtle persuasion and making others believe ideas were their own when they are truly following her agenda– that is her specialty, and the exact reason why she’s been able to last so long in a world geared against her.
Living for thousands of years has its consequences, but much of Blackberry’s reserved personality comes from the things she experienced in her mortal life. Loyally following Vesuvius and idolizing him affected her in ways she is still unaware of, making her lose sight of what matters and only worrying about Vesuvius’s desires and well-being instead of her own. She became selfless, but too much so, always putting others above herself. This drive manifested itself in her apathy towards others later on, because she no longer allowed herself to form bonds after the betrayal of her best friend. Deep down, she is worried and scared of being hurt again, but on the surface she simply does not care for others. 
An outsider would describe her as cunning, smart, sadistic. She may be some of these things, if only to stave off the boredom of having seen all the world has to offer in her long lifetime. She often seeks out new and interesting people, never staying in one place, but always coming back to her own followers and colleagues when needed. Blackberry is capriciously cruel, to allies like Nev she may have her softer and vulnerable moments, but she has no problem spitting vitriol to her enemies. The world has simply hardened her.
