Number: 15. This number is important to Thrush as Rosella was 15 when she died.
=Appearance=
Thrush has beige top scales lining her body, orange middle scales and a stark, silver underbelly, similar to the color of her cloak. She has unusual dark grey-blue eyes and usually wears a scowl on her face. Her beige horns are a bit shorter than a regular SkyWing's, and has a silver nose spike. She has a long, almost whip-thin tail and lean features. 
She is a tall dragon, with long legs and wings. Her right wing has a long, jagged scar across the membrane, making her unable to fly, although she usually covers her wings with a silvery-blue cloak that she wears almost all the time. She also has several burn scars on her legs.
=Abilities=
Thrush does not have many abilities, as she is fireless and cannot breathe fire. However, Thrush does have a few non-fire related abilities; like her extremely sharp claws. Although there is no specific reason for her to have these (although it is presumed to be a random genetic mutation), she rather enjoys the look on dragons' faces when her claws make larger gashes than they would have thought. She also has extremely sharp teeth, and they are known to leave deep puncture wounds when used.
=Personality=
When Thrush was younger, she used to be a much kinder dragon, however, several of her life experiences have turned her bitter and angry. She is often seen scowling (if she is even seen at all), and she doesn't really smile. Usually lonely, Thrush sometimes wishes for company, although remembering her past experiences with members of her tribe, she ignores her loneliness, as she would rather be alone than with a SkyWing.
=History=
When Thrush was young (and I mean only a few months old), she witnessed her twin brother, who had firescales, being thrown over a cliff while she hid behind a cluster of bushes. This memory tends to haunt Thrush, and she never speaks of it to anyone. Raised by her mother (and her mother alone, as her father was also fireless and was not present in her life, presumed dead), she learned a lot about SkyWings and their culture, without really experiencing any of it firsthand.
When she was older (about 4-5), she and her mother were caught together. Not given a chance to explain, her mother was killed and Thrush was chased after until she was able to fly away and disappear. Although rewards were up for her capture, dead or alive, her 'case', so to speak, was dismissed after a while and she was mostly forgotten.
When Thrush was much older (27 to be exact), she met another dragon. His name was Crimson, and he was sweet, caring, and loved her for who she was, unconditionally. Although He wasn't fireless like she was, he was banished for speaking publicly about the unfairness about the tossing of 'strange' dragonets off of cliffs, and was hiding away like she was. Soon, they fell in love and had a daughter, whom they named Rosella. This was probably the best part of Thrush's life, when she was happy and had a real family. However, all good things must come to an end.
When Rosella was 15, she and Thrush went flying over to a cliff to pick flowers, herbs and just to have a relaxing day while Crimson rested, as he had broken his ankle and had bandages all over it (he was fine overall, he just needed rest). Although the day seemed to be going well, it was soon going to turn sour. A mostly young-looking SkyWing patrol spotted them, and immediately asked what they were doing. Good at coming up with answers on the spot, Thrush started to speak, but was cut off by the only elderly guard in the patrol. The guard immediately recognized Thrush with her stark-white belly, and gave the signal to attack, as they were 'traitors'.
A large fight ensued, with all the guards being killed except for a young, strong one, who had badly injured both Rosella and Thrush. Leaping at the guard, Rosella attempted to fly and grab him as he flew away. However, one fatal injury stopped her. Her wing membrane had been torn badly, and instead of flying, her leap ended in her tumbling to the ground, dead on impact. With the guard already far away, and Thrush's right wing membrane equally torn, she could only sit there in shock at the situation that had unraveled to fast for her to even comprehend, leaving her to sob hysterically on the cliffside until she mustered enough strength to pick herself up and go home.
Only to discover that something had gone horribly wrong there, too. She couldn't find Crimson anywhere, and there were several splatters of blood on the floor and walls, although nothing severe. With her current mindset, Thrush could only think of one possibility: that Crimson was dead, and that somehow the patrol got to him too.
Thrush has extreme amounts of trauma from both of these events, and doesn't like to be near SkyWings because of this, even though she's one herself.
=Relationships=
==Rosella==
===Very Positive===
Although Rosella is now deceased, when she was alive they had a great mother-daughter relationship. They loved going hunting together, having fun together and doing all sorts of things.
==Crimson==
===Very Positive===
Crimson and Thrush had a great relationship, and although he is presumed dead, when they were together they had an amazing relationship; they were in love, and would do anything to protect each other. They loved to do things together, and Thrush would do anything to see him again.
==Granite==
===Positive===
Granite, her brother, was always positive and compassionate, always caring for others more than he cared for himself, even if his selflessness got him injured or killed, he was willing to protect anyone he loved. Thrush loved spending time with him, whether it was sneaking out of the house to watch the sunrise or to fly around the Sky Kingdom, even if it was just for a few minutes.
==Sangria==
=== Neutral-Positive===
Although Thrush loved her mother, she was never able to really spend any time bonding with her, as much of that could-be bonding time was spent hiding from SkyWing authorities and patrols. Sangria was also very paranoid, wanting to hide and cower from anything that could potentially harm her or her dragonets. Sadly, this ended up being her downfall.
=Trivia=
*Sangria is a shade of red, but also the name of a type of wine
* Originally, Granite was going to be Thrush's sister, not brother
*I originally planned on making Thrush's special number her age
*It has been 6 years (for Thrush) since Rosella died
