Laetus and Midén

==Midén's Story==
Laetus was the lucky one.
He was the one who got all the love and attention, because he was special. Laetus means colorful, happy, delighted. My name, on the other talon, means null. It means nothing, zero. Really on the nose, huh?
Alright, let’s back up a little. On 5,049 AS, on a warm summer night, me (Midén, in case you’ve already forgotten) and my twin brother Laetus were hatched. Our dad had SilkWing, IceWing, HiveWing, MudWing, and LeafWing grandparents, and our mom was the other half—y’know, RainWing, SeaWing, SkyWing, SandWing, and NightWing. Three moons, don’t make me repeat all that. So to sum it up, we’re AllWings, the two of us. 
Which would be nice, except my brother got all the good stuff. SandWing barb, IceWing spikes, starry NightWing wings, pretty little color changing RainWing scales and venom, SilkWing antennae, SeaWing gills and flashing strips, two pairs of wings, fire and ice… while all I got are some lame gray scales, a RainWing ruff, and, like, a long tail or something. Apparently, even the universe hates me. If you saw us walking down the street, you’d have no idea we’re even related. Most people mistake me for a weird RainWing. Now you understand my name, don’cha? Zero powers, and as far as my parents are concerned, I’ll amount to nothing. Thanks, guys.
I mean, it wasn’t all that bad. I’m a mind reader, one full moon, baby! So now I have the pleasure of knowing personally just how much everyone else hates me.
Except my bro. He might have all the cool powers, like a Firescales dragonet with their fireless twin, but he never rubs my face in it. I can tell he loves me more than anything, even if I’m his useless, boring little sister. He thinks my scales are pretty, “like a pale birch tree”. He’s awesome.
My whole family, however, is not. They’ve always wanted to get rid of me. He was always the one the whole lot of them fawned over and gave tons of presents to on our birthday and coddled and loved, while they just left me in a corner to chase my tail for a few hours, 'cause I'm their good-for-nothing nearly-powerless daughter. Some parents they are.
School’s terrible too. Laetus is the cool kid, obviously. I’m just the nerd who tries to get good grades, and keeps studying even when the bullies are throwing tomatoes right in her face and setting her papers on fire. At least we got to go to the same school together. Laetus always asks me to help him with his homework, and I’d do it even if our parents didn’t force me to. My least favorite dragon, you ask? Mosquito. He’s a jerk. He always makes fun of my scales and says they’re the color of vomit. Well, at least I’m not named after a blood-sucking parasite.
I don’t let it get to me, though. There are hundreds of dragons going through worse. Plus, at least I know someone loves me, and that’s gotta count for something.
I’ve probably said this before, but Laetus is the only good thing in this world. He’s a real cinnamon roll. I don’t even know what would’ve happened if he didn’t hatch with me.
Whew. That was nice, getting that off my chest. Well, you probably don’t care about me either. But, y’know, whatever. Not like you’d have a reason to care, anyway.
==Laetus' Story==
Am I supposed to do, like, an origin story or something?
(Yeah. Just tell us something about your life. Anything at all.)
Ok, I can do that. Honestly, there’s not much that Midén left out, but here goes.
So, me and my twin sister Midén are AllWings. You know that, right? From her interview. We grew up together, in a house with our family. Y’know, our mom, dad, uncle and aunt, cousins, both Dad’s parents, and our other grandma. It’s pretty nice, having so many people who care about you. Except I don’t think she feels the same. They just completely ignore her. It’s like she’s not even there, like I was Mom and Dad’s only dragonet. At least they don't actively hurt her, but still. It infuriates me.
It even happens at school. Everyone loves me. So, since they’d listen to me, I tell them to stop picking on her, right? And they’re like “Yes, Laetus.”
And then I catch them ripping up her tests (that, obviously, she got straight A’s on since she’s amazing and super smart!) again the next day! Like, some dragons would travel to the ends of the earth for me and then they won’t even stop bullying my own sister! Three moons!
Sometimes I wonder if they’re all under a spell or something. Follow Laetus’ every command and hate Midén. Midén says it’s because (her words) I’m really nice to everyone and super powerful and I have beautiful scales. 
(Yeah, but what's the point of all these powers if I'm not even gonna use them? It's not like I'll have to use venom for anything. Don't need flashy scales, either, I'm not underwater all day. Mind reading, though, that's nice.)
But really...I think no one believes in her because she doesn’t even believe in herself.
She always calls herself “lame” or “stupid” or “ugly”, even though she’s way better than that! I mean, there’s the obvious factor of she can read minds, but that doesn’t matter. Sure, she might say her scales are dull and plain and not as pretty as mine, but even that’s not true. She has a sort of elegance. She might be gray, but it’s actually a really nice, silvery, foresty gray, with undertones of mossy green. And that’s only her brilliance on the outside. She’s smart enough that she could solve world hunger if she tried! Plus, she’s hilarious! Have you heard her jokes? I mean, of course you haven’t, she doesn’t think they’re good enough to tell anyone. I wish she did. Heh, she’d be more popular than me in a heartbeat.
I really do love Midén. She’s the best sister ever.
Anyway, that’s just my two cents. So, uh, yeah.
(Sorry, I never know how to end these things.)
