Achlys

This character was created by Shadowcatwitch13 for this contest. Please only edit for typos and other mistakes. Thanks!
== Appearance ==
Achlys used to be pretty. She used to have a round, youthful face that lit up when she smiles with her clear brown eyes. She used to have scales the colour of the sand near an oasis. But that was three years ago. Now, the colour has bleached out of her scales, turning them a sickly, pale yellow. Her brown eyes have faded to black, her face has turn thin and haggard, and her eyes are red from crying. Achlys used to be beautiful. But no one's scales can shine forever.
== Personality ==
Achlys used to be kind. She used to open her windows and laugh joyfully, never fearing what the day would bring. Now, she doesn't even look up to the world around her, trailing her tail and looking down. She has lost the will to live. Each day, she wishes, pleads, to leave this world. Achlys used to be kind. But no one's snout can be smiling forever.
== History ==
Achlys's mother was a maid. She never told her daughter about her father. Achlys grew up in a normal neighbourhood, in a normal town. She was the kindest, most beautiful, most normal dragon you could ever meet. Until... she met him. She never even knew his name. The dragon would pass her every day as she went to work, and would smile at her. Achlys would smile back. A few months later, they started to go out. Achlys was stopped by a fortune-teller who warned her that they would have an unhappy, fatal marriage. Achlys ignored it, and never told anyone. The next night, Achlys and the dragon had a massive fight. She never saw him again. Achlys lay down on the bed and has barely got up since. A few days later, she ran away from the town. It brought back too many memories. Achlys ran and ran, until she stumbled upon a small hut. She saw a large SeaWing tending some flowers. The SeaWing looked at her, and Achlys realised that this dragon had sealed herself away for a reason. Suddenly, Achlys lost control of her limbs. She walked up to the SeaWing and started doing her work. Achlys knew she was under a spell, but she didn't try to fight back. For now, it was an antidote to her sadness, and her relief, no matter how strange, was acceptable. Achlys used to be happy. But no one's life can be perfect forever.Category:Characters
