Reef (Thomas)

== Appearance ==
Reef is rather small, and has a tendency to look worried. His scales aren't very bright, and are mainly dark shades of different basic sea colors. His horns are curved just slightly more up and he has a rather undignified looking body structure.
Reef's main scales are a deep shade of blue, while his other scales are dark green. His face, the tops of his wing fingers, and the top and spikes of his tail are the green color. His wings are light blue, with his glowing scales emitting an electric blue color, which is really the only bright thing about him. On the underside of his wing fingers is dark blue, along with the top of his head and the sides of his tail. His arms are this color blue as well.
The facial expression Reef wears most often would likely be described as worried or anxious. Reef is always looking like someone might be out to get him, whether that be true or not. He stands with his tail tucked near him neatly and his wings safely down, as far away from any sort of harm as he can possibly get.
== Personality ==
Just like his facial features suggest, Reef is worried very frequently. He suffers from extreme anxiety, and there really isn't much "reason" for it other than fear of being hated and of an attack or something. Although he doesn't show it much due to his anxiety, Reef is desperate to be liked and genuinely fears the thought of being hated. This fear comes from the fact that he is indeed an animus, which he does not like anyone knowing, and the fact that his grandmother hates him completely. He hates himself for these reasons. but is afraid to do anything about the magic, especially attempt to remove his own magic with an enchantment.
Though he isn't one to make friends very easily, when around someone he's more comfortable with, Reef is a tad bit less worried. He still may be pretty nervous of himself accidentally saying the wrong thing and making an enchantment and being found out. He also fears someone will ask them to tell them about himself, which he clearly would rather explode than do.
== History ==
Reef was hatched to Prince Conch and an average SeaWing named Minke. Conch, obviously being a royal, was not supposed to have anything to do with any female except a noble class dragon. Conch, however, did not love the dragon he was supposed to marry and instead had Prince Reef with Minke. Upon finding out this had happened, Queen Lophelia was outraged and demanded to see the dragonet that would supposedly be the heir to the throne. She immediately ordered for Minke to be executed because Reef had only inherited her "boring and undefined features". Reef was deemed illegitimate and sent to live without Conch or his grandmother and instead at a distant cousin's home where he was to assume he was their child. The plan didn't really work out, seeing as Conch continuously sent Reef letters and messages describing how dearly he missed his poor son and wished to meet him as an older dragon someday. Reef's caretaker, Shrimp, discovered these letters were being taken to Reef by a secret messenger Conch had hired. Shrimp reported this to Queen Lophelia, who had Conch and the messenger killed for betraying her orders. Reef was then considered an orphan after being disowned by his cousins for keeping the letters private even though he didn't have much understanding of what was going on. Reef was then taken into the home of a friend of Minke's. He was watched over there by his caretakers, Nautilous and Dolphin, and given the best life possible for such a traumatized dragonet. When he was well enough to, Reef left their home to study at a boarding school and then immediately returned home when he was done at the academy. He grew close to his "sister" in this time, who is Nautilous and Dolphin's daughter.
== Relationships ==
Minke- Reef only knew Minke for two days, but he created her in his mind while daydreaming. He wishes he could have met her and asked her all about her life and how she met his father.
Prince Conch- Reef also technically only knew Conch for two days, but based on their letters, he disliked his father for letting him be sent away so quickly. Reef still wishes he could have really known his father, but it was never bound to happen and he knew that. 
Queen Lophelia- Reef doesn't necessarily hate any dragon, but he definitely would prefer his grandmother wasn't part of his life at all. Lophelia is like a witch in Reef's mind, and he loathes her for killing his parents. Of course, since she's his queen he would never openly speak about that. Until her death.
Shrimp- Reef truly did have an admiration for his cousin, until he was disowned. Shrimp is another character in Reef's mind that will forever be secretly hated. Until his death.
Dolphin- Reef considers Dolphin to truly be his mother and cares about her dearly. Dolphin is the only one who knows he is an animus, and is likely the only dragon he could say any of his true feelings to. There have been many nights where Reef just ranted to Dolphin and cried under her wing.
Nautilous- Reef also considers Nautilous to be his true father. Nautilous was never very inviting, but he still cared for Reef and took place of Shrimp, always receiving his complete focus and admiration.
Vaquita- Reef's "sister" is definitely also his best friend. The two are like peas in a pod, getting along just about 100 percent of the time. When they were separated while Reef attended boarding school, the two frequently exchanged letters and kept in touch as best as possible.
