appearance
"If you think that's strange, you haven't lived here for 9 years."
Monday is quite average. Forgettable in the rain that is always pouring around her. She looks very small, and her posture isn’t amazing. Forgettable. Like the other worn-down souls of North’s Edge. 
Her scales are grey, grey-blue, and the scales running down her back are whitish grey and look heavy. She has a brackish royal blue underbelly and horns, like the sea on its more peaceful days.
Her markings are yellow. They look like the light streaming out a window or streetlamp on a dark day. Her eyes are the same shade of yellow, they have near-black sclera.
Her wings are grey, deep grey. She has two wings, like the Pyrrhian dragons. If you look at her long enough, she seems to be tarnished, little black webs stretching over her wings in an optical illusion. 
She wears a few studs in her ear and occasionally a grey woolen rain poncho. She might be holding a steaming cup of coffee, if you catch her by surprise.
She can be caught whistling a strange tune, from far off and long ago...
And way down we go
Way down we go
personality
"Once upon a time..."
Monday strikes most as mellow. She’s not timid, but she is soft when speaking. Her voice is high and lilting, and she uses complicated words to get her point across. She’ll cuss when angered, which isn’t often. Her vocabulary is large enough that she could use other words, but she does so out of habit. 
She likes to keep her feelings hidden and thinks the easiest way to do that is to stay away from other dragons. She goes on walks around North’s Edge, all the way through the mountains to the scenic cliffs. It’s always raining there; she loves the rain. She loves things that other dragons underappreciated. Perhaps because she wants to be different. She doesn’t want to be normal. Being "normal" is the one thing she dreads most.
Monday is on the fence about her gender. She likes being female, but she finds she doesn't always seem feminine. She's questioning, trying things out. Monday struggles with her gender identity a fair bit, even if she seems mostly female. Her head keeps on nagging her about it. She is asexual, she does not like... relationships and thinks about them with a load of dread.
She prefers most things to dragons. She’s a deep thinker, but her face is often absentminded. She’ll fidget with anything she picks up, sometimes she doesn’t even know how it got into her hands. Her forgetful little anxious brain is a little distracted, usually. Coffee certainly doesn't help her fidgeting, and yet she's always seen with some.
Monday hates it when dragons repeat themselves. When anything repeats itself. She feels it isn’t necessary. She feels that relearning something is a waste of time.
As much as she’d like to know all the answers to the mysteries in the universe, she doesn’t go looking. If she figured something out, she would have robbed her fellows of some of the wonder in the world. Not having unanswered questions is up there among the things she fears most. After all, she is a poet. It’s hard to believe she’s only nine. 
Her moods swing easily from sadness to happiness to guilt and back again. Her writing is every bit as turbulent. Her thoughts turn over like the waves in their roughest hour. 
If she makes an enemy, she is more disapproving than anything else. She could be violent if she wished, but she prefers to let her anger and sadness settle on the poor dragons' shoulders in the most horribly guilty way possible. She makes you feel horribly guilty and tired, but for the most part it's hard to feel like it's her fault.
She always has a sad look on her face. She feels happiness, but bliss and delight are often beyond her. Monday takes comfort in simple things, the patter of rain against a tin roof, of walking through the mountains in autumn, of the snow and the rain and the ocean. 
Say way down we go
Way down we go
history
"I'm afraid we have a problem. The curse is getting wound up again."
She got cursed. She's a detective. WIP. Real huge WIP. 
You let your feet run wild
Time has come as we all, oh, go down
relationships
"Pardon- did you wish to say something?"
Paradigm: Her mother. Monday likes her, but when she turned eight she moved out, preferring to be alone. She doesn't like talking about Monday's father, considering his status as a ghost haunting the cliffs. Paradigm is always sad, but she stays in North's Edge anyways. At night she can be seen facing the ocean by the cliffs and whistling a sad tune. She can be a bit strange with all her melancholy, though it's hard to call her depressed. Monday doesn't really think much about her anymore.
William: Her father. Also known as the local ghost. How exactly he and Paradigm hatched an egg is unknown. It is believed that he walks the earth as flesh once every hundred years because of a curse set upon him an all of North's Edge at a young age. Monday finds his tales fascinating. He taught her old stories and old music, including a particular, haunting tune. Monday walks to the cliffs to meet him every so often.
North's Edge: The town itself is considered a being by many, Monday included. Things oft happen there, curses and demons and mysteries. There always a story in North's Edge, always a dream, always a heartbreak. Some say evil lies in the caverns beneath the rainy cliffs. Others say the town was William's old mate, under a curse. Monday believes both. She isn't exactly wrong.
She loves all the complexities of the town, the little details that make North's Edge so strange. Monday's favorite part of the year is the winter, where it snows heavily due to their northern location.
Truthseeker: The local librarian. Nightwing. Monday gets lost in his library easily. He is mysterious, enigmatic, always pointing to a section of books that may seem irrelevant, but always hint to the truth behind North's Edge. He's indirectly given Monday newspaper articles, a book on curses, and several interesting artifacts, among other items. It's rumored he's a powerful animus, but so far nothing has happened to prove that. Monday likes him a lot, mostly for the mystery.
Socks: Socks is... socks. He tries to be funny and entertaining. He's not good at it. He's Monday's age and her best friend. He specializes in trapping things. He's still not good at that either, he likes them to be over-complicated. Monday thinks he's hilarious.
Lautal: A odd dragon. Monday's encountered her once or twice in her research. She's a poet as well, though far older than her. A Skywing of massive proportions. Her name keeps on cropping up. Monday is suspicious of her, but she is nice enough, if a bit gruff, and somehow tied to the mysteries of North's Edge. 
Gaunt: Her mysterious publisher. He's strange. Monday stays away from him as much as possible, only to deliver the occasional poem or story. His printing methods are unknown. He likes to stay shrouded in shadows for dramatic effect.
Skipper: He runs the Sea Shack. It's a dilapidated hut on a beach that only serves twists on shellfish, in particular clams. His recipes are somewhat disgusting, but his tales and old sea shanties more than make up for it. He lost an ear at sea. Monday loves to eat at the Sea Shack because of all the interesting gossip he has.
Miso: Practically a pirate princess. She's a Seawing, horribly stuck up, very smart and she knows it, not to mention a pirate. Stays out of jail by bribery. She has a lot of loot. Monday hates her. She did, however, give Monday a tour of her ship, the Floe, and she's won a bit of favor as a result. Visits North's Edge every few years. She has a shady job, a shady past, and shady motives, but her salty sense of humor and poetic wit are always appreciated. Not to mention the eye patch.
Ben: The coffee shop owner. Tries to scam her with decaf. Monday dislikes him, but hey, coffee. He has a southern accent of sorts and is a Skywing, albeit a strangely dark one.
Crow: An anonymous figure who has helped Monday out a few times. Goes by the name "Crow" in their letters, although that is likely not their real name. She has no idea who they are, only that their interests are in solving the mysteries of North's Edge, and they'll do anything to do that. Monday is afraid of them, whoever they are.
Yeah but for the fall, ooh, my
Do you dare to look him right in the eyes? Yeah
trivia
"I don't think the abyss looks back. I think it's simply that you see bits of yourself in the darkness."
* Kinda Seattle themed. Because Seattle is... Seattle. Also mildly inspired by Scooby-Doo: Mystery Incorporated and Greenglass House.
*Coffee addict. You just... need coffee... on Mondays... but she's not really affected by it, oddly.
* Her favorite color is dark green, like the trees.
* The tune William taught her is similar to the Myst II: Riven soundtrack. Just with more of a melody.
* Her poetry is about the woods, for the most part. She likes to write about nature and mystery. Sometimes philosophy if she's in a bad mood, though.
* She is set in the Cyan AU, which has basic Victorian-era steampunk technology and a kind of mysterious, wild-west vibe. 
*Her accent is crisp but not British by any stretch.
*Looks like a lot skyscraper so yeah. Her design was based off that.
*She hates chicken. Why? Nobody knows.
* She's INTP-A, I think?
* Uses the principle of Occam's Razor to bug people. Works quite well. 
Oh, 'cause they will run you down, down 'til the dark
Yes and they will run you down, down 'til you fall
