Gnavigo

"[...] I suppose we're all like ticking timebombs. Only the ones saved in time are the ones that are spared."
=== Appearance ===
==== Coloration ====
Gnavigo's scales are a bright shade of orange, which is how most dragons pick him out from the crowd. His frill is a dark blue, speckled with a pattern of green stars, which fade to a dark red at the end of his tail, and his horns are a paler shade of blue. He is covered with odd patterns, seemingly from head to tail, which are slightly reminiscent of a SeaWing's bioluminescent stripes, though dark and not able to glow. His underbelly is a pale green, and on his wings are the oddest patterns- something similar in shape to a ferris wheel, which are displayed every time he opens his wings during an event at the Freak Tower.
==== Physique ====
Gnavigo is known for his long neck, large, graceful wings, long frill, sharp teeth, and oddly enough, the frightening thinness of him. His bones stand out, and his tail is even thinner than an IceWing, according to staff- despite this, he stands at a frightening height, which there seems to be no apparent reason for. 
==== Outlook ====
Gnavigo seems to always be grinning in front of the audience, usually in a rather stiff position but with an inviting gaze. By dragons who dislike the Freak Tower, they assume him to have a large ego (though this assumption is proven false countless times), and for those better at reading body language, that he doesn't feel emotion normally, due to his lack of smooth movements, which unnerves them.
=== Backstory ===
Gnavigo's backstory, is, oddly enough, shrouded in secret. Most dragons don't know about where he was before the Freak Tower- as if he appeared out of nowhere, oddly enough, but this is, in a sense, what happened. Gnavigo grew up in an oddly neglective home, with parents which were severely mentally ill and often beat him for acts that he didn't commit because of the terrible memory problems they had. For this, it became a survival skill to be able to pretend, to be quiet, to seem kind when inside the rage was broiling. Otherwise you were beaten. Around these times, Teeth appeared, an eyeless SilkWing with one antenna torn apart. They were, in truth, a hallucination, who took the role in parenting Gnavigo, though in odd ways. Rather than teaching him useful life skills, they taught them, for example, how to hold an axe or how to poison, often alerting him of where food was- he had multiple near-death experiences for this reason, as the places they led him were often for a cruel joke as he nearly starved to death trying to find something to eat, since his parents often forgot to feed him- his father out of cruelty, his mother out of inability. Soon, they caught on about Teeth, and sent him to a mental hospital called Correctional Facility, which treated him worse instead of better. He was a 3, so now he was only fed once every 2 or 3 weeks. Here, in this area, he met some of the other now-Freak-Tower-staff, including Cerbera, who worked as a therapist there and Malaya, part of the reason she and Gnavigo seem to trust each other so much. Gnavigo was often passed out or given medications to get rid of Teeth, but he always came back- it was here Gnavigo discovered his animus magic, which he used to store away the weapons he snuck out, teaching Malaya how to poison and the other staff how to kill, the same way Teeth had taught him. He broke out soon after though, taking most of the staff with him where they fled across the desert, before reaching the SandWing kingdom, where Teeth became active once more, now more crazed then before, starting to ask for bizarre tasks and threatening him- one of which was to take over the palace, and create the Freak Tower.
