Tunneldweller

This is Nyra's entry for Scrollreader's Song-Based OC contest! The song for this is I'm Gonna Win - Rob Cantor.
== Description ==
Tunneldweller is a male 27 (human) year old IceWing-MudWing hybrid. He is a miner and resides within the mine underneath the Sky Kingdom.
He is 60% MudWing and 40% IceWing. Tunneldweller hatched in the midst of The War of the SandWing Succession, and was pulled out of the frontlines after Queen Scarlet died and was forced into the tunnels. Since he'd never gotten a name, the miners who were already there gave him the name of Tunneldweller.
== Appearance ==
=== Colours ===
Mostly a dark mahogany brown, but has specks of light beige and pale blue along his entire body. His wings are an IceWing's, and his underbelly is a dark blue. He bears the horns of an IceWing, which are pale beige. As a result of him being a miner, he is often covered in coal dust.
=== Accessories ===
A necklace with assortments of jewels and a key. The key allows him to access the jewel dump, where the day's current workings are dumped for the queen's advisors to pick up later. He also has a brown leather pouch with a clasp that looks like a dragon's talon. Inside is various scraps of paper from newspaper articles, about news from the outside world. He'd gotten them from a courier dragon carrying newspapers around and had dropped a few.
== Personality ==
A very ambitious dragon, Tunneldweller likes to stay up at night thinking of the amazing things he's going to do once he gets out of the mine. The result of him never knowing his parents and being left out in the cold on many nights grew him into a dragon with very low standards for living conditions, so he didn't mind whatever he received, because it was better than what he got back home. He's loud and not very strong-witted, but he tries his best. He's often very full of himself, but puts on a smile to hide that he's really struggling with keeping up with everyone's expectations.
== Trivia ==
* Tunneldweller's entire "working in a mine" and "being called Tunneldweller" is a reference to line one and two from I'm Gonna Win, which is 'My life is a constant entrapment of tunnels, which tangle and wind and beguile'.
