Appearance
Koi is a pale green SeaWing with a much lighter underbelly and ambery-golden eyes. His luminescent scales are clouded over and black as if they had been filled with ink and no longer light up. His ears a light pink His horns have been shown as warm brown like the color of wood. He has many scars from battle. 
Personality
Koi cares for his friends deeply. He will stand up for them no matter what. He's overally calm and laid-back, but has some anger and can lash out without thinking. He is shy and easily flustered when asked about his sexuality as he was closeted for the six years until his parents died and hadn't really ever told Amethyst. He also tends to blush a lot around Sphinx. He tries to joke about a lot of things and doesn't want his friends to worry about him, often insisting he's fine. 
History
Koi was born to two SeaWings who were pretty poor. He grew up on the edge of the SeaWing Kingdom in a tiny home with his sister. His parents died shortly after Amethyst was born. Koi was just old enough to take care of her, but as they didn't have much, he needed another source of income besides being a servant for the prince. Once, he met a SandWing named Scorch in the palace. Scorch invited him to the deserted island palace at night to help him earn more and Koi accepted. He found out that a secret fighting arena was being held there, and Scorch was one of the major donators. Essentially two dragons would fight, and dragons would bid. Whoever won the fight would get a good portion of the bids on the other dragon, splitting it with the bidders. Koi was excited, and quickly became famous for his fighting among the group. He was then called away by the prince to go to some fancy gathering with him. A party. While there, he met a male SilkWing named Sphinx, who he fell in love with. (Sphinx is owned by @Darksight4eva) Eventually, Koi had to return after a few months with Sphinx, and continued his duties. He would meet Sphinx after work and they would hang out, and then he would go to the arena after visiting Amethyst shortly before. Koi excitedly awaited his next fight in a few weeks when he got home. He planned to finally reveal his secret to his sister then. He wouldn't tell Sphinx, as he didn't want to worry him. 
It was finally time. Koi told Amethyst to follow him, reassuring her this would be a fun suprise, and lead her to the arena on the Island Palace. He chatted with Scorch, who confirmed he was next, up against a female Sand-Rain hybrid.
The hybrid was a newbie to the arena, but certainly a tough fighter. Koi had managed to duck their blows and make a few of his own however, raising cheers from the crowd. The Rain-Sand went for a hit to his legs and Koi sprung up- and was grazed by the dragon's tail barb, overhanging like a scorpion. The crowd went deadly silent as Koi dropped, vision swimming and fading in and out of blurriness. He could see Amethyst, flashing her luminous scales in a panic as tears streamed down her face, and his best friend Scorch, who had run to his aid and was trying to lift the Koi up to stand, murmuring anxiously.
Koi leaned on Scorch and Amethyst as they walked back to the shore. Amethyst was still in a bit of a panic, anxiously flashing at him. Koi was numb with shock. He swam home in a daze and Amethyst forced him to rest after he mumbled he was fine.
In the morning, he and Amethyst had fought. Badly. About the night before. He had been angry that Amethyst was upset, and had grabbed the statues off the shelf and thrown them. Amethyst had cried out- they had hit the window to the left of them and she was fine- but the statues were her pride and joy.
A few days passed and Amethyst refused to talk to Koi, even after he had brought the statues back inside. She would just restate he needed to see a doctor. So finally, he did. The doctor didn't have a cure for his strange illness- a black cloud in inky venom slowly spreading across his luminous scales. And he had begun to get worse. Koi was bedridded after a few months passed, and spent the last year of his life in the hospital. He died at Amethyst's last visit when he finally told Sphinx, with them by his side, after the venom had finished it's course and infected him enough for him to die.
=== Afterlife: ===
Koi wishes he told Sphinx about his injury, and regrets never saying anything before. He wishes they had known each other longer and refuses to go to the afterlife, instead waiting for Sphinx and Amethyst to join him.
