Appearance
Radiant is a ruby red SilkWing with a silk-white underbelly and even darker red horns and overscales. She has a slightly longer tail and average sized wings, which are red with white splotches on the inside. Her colouring is compared to that of blood, a candy cane, snow and multiple other objects. She has five white 'rings' around her horns and her antennae starts off red before fading into a pure white. Her eyes are a deep grey.
Radiant almost always has a grimace plastered across her face. Despite her appearance, she radiates a cold and unwelcoming feeling and nature. It's hard to see her ever crack a smile, especially in her earlier years. There are some faded 'markings' around her wrist, neck, wings and just general body. She is smaller than the average SilkWing.
Personality
Radiant is a relatively unpleasant dragon. She's rude, insensitive, stubborn and generally unagreeable. She's rebellious and would rather live a free life without rules or regulations. She is convinced that other dragons are either out to get her or just hate her. She's not afraid to speak her mind and tell dragons up-front what she thinks of them. 
Radiant is snarky, mean-spirited and a bit of a bully at times, however she's more soft on the inside. She has a fierce loyalty and will protect her friends no matter what, even if it means her getting hurt. This is most evident with how she treats her friends, Adonis and Locust, once getting to know them better. However, this sort of behavior can take weeks to bring out from her. Even now she's still cold and unapproachable to strangers.
She's insecure on the inside and thinks of herself as worthless and irredeemable, believing that she's too far gone to be forgiven for what she has done. She's afraid of looking 'weak', almost to the point of it being an obsession. She is aware of what she's doing and how this is making lives worse, but she doesn't really care. She flinches whenever she's touched without any warning before hand. She needs therapy.
History
Radiant doesn't know much about her own hatching. All she knows of her parents were that they were criminals who were plotting against Wasp, causing them to be publicly shamed and executed. Radiant has no memory of her parents, nor what they've done to deserve such a fate. All she knows about them is that they were criminals, therefore their offspring would be just like them.
Radiant was raised by the teachers of Queen Wasp Academy instead of her own parents. The teachers who raised her, Lovebug, Wildebeest and Carrion, were infamous around the school for being brutal, horrible, and generally unpleasant HiveWings. From the first moment Radiant was placed into their care, they began to torture her. They would constantly bombard her with threats and the like, trying to keep her from "going mad like her parents". It had no effect, if anything it made her worse. Radiant grew up not knowing how a normal household works, but she envied the SilkWings and HiveWings who were loved and had parents. Every day she'd dream to escaping the school and running away to a nice family who loved her, but that day would never come. She would act out against her teachers will, which she would be punished for. Radiant would talk back to them, run away, refuse to listen to them, or simply say that she hates all HiveWings. 
The teachers would punish her with verbally abusing her, saying that she was her parents mistake and that nobody would ever love her. She would also be hit and be threatened with being put to death like her mother and father. Once, when refusing to admit that Wasp was her lord and was a goddess more powerful than Clearsight herself, Radiant was tossed out of Wasp Hive and forced to wander the savanna until she would pledge her aligence to Wasp. This sort of trauma and torture continued for ten years of Radiant's life, until one day a letter came to her. A letter telling her that a duke from Hornet Hive was her new HiveWing.
After a few hard days of traveling through the Hives, Radiant ended up at Hornet Hive. There, she met Locust, a slightly short HiveWing forest green HiveWing. When she first met him, she did NOT care for him at all. She was completely and utterly convinced that he was working against her and that he would try to get her to admit her "unlawful" wishes like wishing for Wasp to be killed. However, after a few weeks she began to grew on him. She began to see Locust was genuinely being kind and nice to her, something she'd never really had before. He would talk to her and was concerned for her happiness and health, which started to rub on Radiant herself. However, after a incident where Radiant discovered what Locust's job was, the two of them had a argument where Radiant ran from her problems. This, unintentionally, saved her life. 
After a day of being out in the savanna, Radiant decided to go back to Hornet Hive. She had gotten over getting mad at Locust and directed her anger towards Wasp and Locust's parents, who were the ones shipping and selling SilkWings. Once she got back to Hornet Hive, Locust was gone. The only thing he left behind was a note saying that Wasp was rounding the HiveWings and SilkWings up for some reason and that Radiant should focus on getting as far away from Wasp Hive as possible. Too bad Radiant doesn't listen to orders well. She was making her way to Wasp Hive to save Locust when she bumped into a blue SilkWing named Adonis. The both of them had a rough start but began to get along just fine, even if Adonis still liked her abusing owners. They got to Wasp Hive to see Wasp has gone off the deep and was beginning to infect SilkWings with the Breath of Evil in order for them to be under her control. Both dragons camped out in the abandoned Jewel Hive until they began to hear explosions from outside. 
Radiant and Adonis went to check out the explosions to see large swarms of dragons heading towards Pantala and a large army of SilkWings and HiveWings were on the shore of Dragonfly Bay. Radiant flew in hopes to find Locust and Adonis followed soon after to find her mister and mistress. Both dragons end up being stuck in a massive battlefield between the mind controlled Hive and SilkWings and these weird new dragons. Radiant ran her way through the warzone to find Locust battling a scorpion dragon, killing it. She pulled Locust away from the fight just in time before a dragonflame cacti came upon them, knocking Locust out and disorienting Radiant. 
Eventually, Radiant comes to at the base of Jewel Hive with Adonis beside her. The two dragons pull Locust out of the no-dragons-land and, not knowing what else to do, use all the silk they can muster to bind up Locust in case if Wasp comes and tries to make him attack her. All dragons camp out in Jewel Hive and talk for a bit. Wasp would still try to take over Locust, but Radiant and Adonis would just put a blindfold on him until she goes away. 
After a few weeks living like this, footsteps enter Jewel Hive and all of them hide. The intruders are those weird dragons, a fish-like one and one with big wings. Radiant is eventually found and after confessing to being against Wasp they don't kill her. The dragons (Charcoal and Tide), tell the gang that Wasp has been killed, but not yet the source of the mind control. They let all three go and tell them that a weird place across the ocean called "Pyrrhia" is accepting refugees from Pantala.
As soon as Radiant heard about moving continents, she was a bit skeptical. But, Locust and Adonis wanted to go see what it was all about and said that he'd like to go start a new life. Radiant and Locust are ferried across the savannah by Adonis before having him airlifted by a group of Phyrrian dragons. All three then spend a few days flying over the open ocean before reaching Phyrria, where they then settle in a town called Possibility. Both dragons now live happy, while Adonis settles with a MudWing she met along the way.
