Biography
Shadewalker was raised too well on the Night Island. From a young age, he learnt to cheat, lie and steal to achieve his goals and others' attention, often to the distaste of older NightWings. No matter how hard they tried, he never truly respected authority unless he chose to. Actually, it's quite a miracle that no one killed or maimed the obnoxious dragonet; he was as annoying as Fierceteeth and thrice as aggressive. Instead, he was left behind on his first trip to the rainforest, where he could only bother RainWings.And bother RainWings, he did. Shadewalker lived up to his name, attacking lone RainWings from the shadows and stealing anything that looked of value. From stalking gathering patrols and adventurous dragons, he discovered what was safe and how to avoid the jungle's dangers at a rate that allowed him to survive. He privately scorned and mocked the lifestyle of the rainforest dragons, although he was unadmittedly envious of their ability to perfectly camouflage and spit venom.Perhaps that hidden desire was what spurned him to steal an egg from a RainWing hatchery in his twenties. He planned to raise the dragonet to be his assistant, his weapon against dragons who would shun him again. However, Shadewalker never anticipated being a fatherly figure to an actual, emotion-feeling dragonet. It took a couple of years to break Margay's trust and interest in dragons other than himself, especially since he expressed no affection for her. Instead, he promised her power, glory and significance, which he honestly did mean to follow up on (although most of that power and glory would end up in his talons, as he planned). Under his watch, the young RainWing underwent rigorous training and an uncompassionate lifestyle. Eventually, though, Shadewalker found himself getting bored of his once-brilliant idea, unintentionally transitioning from a mentor to a parent.Although he was still strict, his behaviour started to relent towards Margay's flaws. He found himself lending advice that would comfort her instead of unnerving her. He would acknowledge her opinions and emotions instead of ignoring her. Most of all, his promise of fame changed in tone, making the goal sound ambitiously plausible instead of unforgivingly imperative. When Margay caught onto the change in behaviour, she was pleasantly perplexed. When she asked Shadewalker why he was more lenient, he told her that "all these years of being a pain in the tail [had] finally exhausted [him]". As a passive reward for his unspoken acceptance of her, the RainWing's loyalty and respect in him was fortified.
