== Backstory ==
Rubellite was born an illegal dragonet between a SkyWing princess, Princess Firebird, and a SandWing general, General Xerophyte. When she hatched, Queen Harpy was furious. She didn't want any dragonets more than necessary, and Rubellite was a hybrid. Harpy ordered Firebird and Xerophyte's execution, but just before she could order her soldiers to kill Rubellite, Firebird's sister, Crimson, suggested that Xerophyte was an animus. Therefore, if they could have an animus, wasn't it worth a little danger? Grudgingly, Queen Harpy agreed, and gave Rubellite to Crimson. Rubellite grew up as her aunt's daughter, but was ostracized and bullied for her hybrid status. She managed to avoid an animus test until she was five, when she was tested positive. Harpy cruelly explained that she never intended to let Rubellite live, but before Harpy could hurt her granddaughter, a strange SkyWing swooped down and grabbed Rubellite, taking her as far as she could away from the kingdom. The SkyWing explained that her name was Raven, and revealed that she was a SkyWing-NightWing hybrid. She told Rubellite that she was being taken to a safe house in the Poison Jungle called The Kapok Academy and Residence for Unusual Dragonets. Rubellite was sceptical at first, but Raven was quite serious. After a three day journey across the ocean, they finally arrived at the Poison Jungle, where a young adult LeafWing waited. He introduced himself as Oleander, and said that he was the son of the Academy's founder, Kapok. He brought Raven and Rubellite through the jungle until they reached a huge tree. Inside was the Academy. Raven handed Rubellite over to an excitable RainWing-NightWing who was introduced as Ocelot, Raven's younger half-sister. Ocelot gave Rubellite a tour, and introduced her to many of the students, including Pyre, Ringlet, Violet, Starling and Namib. The latter two were Rubellite's cellmates, and though Rubellite didn't care much for Namib, she became very attached to Starling, considering her her best friend. In Rubellite's first lesson, she was introduced to Black Manta and Sarcastic, two SeaWing animuses, and the Animus Theory teacher, Caution. Soon after, Rubellite met Snakeroot, a LeafWing leafspeaker and Black Manta's cellmate. A few days later, Rubellite discovered a necklace made of woven copper strands. She kept it, and went to show it to Starling and another student Rubellite cared for, Stargazer, a NightWing-SeaWing hybrid. Soon after, Rubellite found herself thinking of the past, and what Kapok Academy was like then. Suddenly, she found herself in a dark, deadly jungle, full of poisonous plants and dangers. Terrified, Rubellite tried to bring herself back, but couldn't. Starling brought her back, and Rubellite told her about the necklace. The two dragonets agreed that it should be kept safe; after all, who knew what someone could do with access to the past? The next morning, however, the necklace was gone- and so were Snakeroot and Pyre. Rubellite knew that the only way back was to enchant something herself, but she couldn't. She didn't want to waste her soul. But- she had to. She enchanted a stone to bring her and Starling to the time and place of Snakeroot and Pyre. They were brought to the edge of the Poison Jungle, where Snakeroot held Pyre underwater with the help of vines. Rubellite asked what Snakeroot was doing, and Snakeroot told them her plan. In her mind, the Academy was flawed. Flawed in many ways, but the largest was that they didn't tell you the extent of your powers, instead used you to accomplish their needs. Rubellite didn't believe her, but Snakeroot revealed that animuses can enchant other dragons. Kapok Academy didn't tell them that. Rubellite was lost for words, but Starling shoved Snakeroot into a poisonous plant, killing her. That caused the vines holding Pyre underwater to break, and the firescales shot free. Unfortunately, one vine remained, and as it smouldered, it dragged Pyre backwards- into the Poison Jungle. It burned, and quickly, Rubellite reenchanted the stone to bring Pyre too. They came back to the Academy- and found nothing had happened. Rubellite was confused- it had been burned! But Starling explained that changing the past wouldn't change the future, and that Snakeroot hadn't understood that. Rubellite suddenly realized that Snakeroot was still alive, but Pyre solved that. Pyre burnt the necklace, and Kapok Academy survived for many more years.
