== Introduction ==
It's dark. Very dark. Only the faint light of lanterns in the distance of the SkyWing town help you see your way. The stone-brick road made clicks and clatters as you made your way down the narrow street. You look to your right and see a tavern called 'The Melted Candle' and step inside.
You're hit with bright light and squint, but your eyes eventually adjust to the lighting. You see SkyWings laughing, drinking up alcoholics of sorts, and some even screaming or crying drunkenly atop tables. But on dragon catches your eye.
A dragon in a corner, wrapped in a cloak sits at a table. Their drink is on the rotting, wooden table, one of their talons swirling the liquid around slowly, slowly enough to cause you to stare at it. The dragon notices you and grabs a stool from the corner, putting it down on the other side of the table. You sit, and gaze at the drink, the talon, and the cloak. 
Suddenly, the dragon grabs your throat and pulls you forward, forward enough for you to hear their rough voice.
"Name's Taper." they say, moving their snout up and half out of the shadow of the cloak. "You dare tell anyone about our conversation, and I'll kill you in a second. Got it?". You nod quickly, their grip relaxing, allowing you to pull your neck away. "Now. Again, I'm Taper. But most tend to call me 'The Candle Queen,'". 
== Appearance ==
Taper is both tall and somewhat angular, with a slightly longer tail than most SkyWings with the tip of the tail always pointing up. Her horns are normally sized, with tips that also bend upwards, similar to candle flames. Her eyes are long and beady, and her snout is curvy with a slight point around the bottom of her mouth. Her wings are SkyWing-sized, though the edges of her wing membranes look as if they were singed, similar to the effect if you turn on a lighter and place the flame near the edge of paper.
Taper's scales are ginger orange, her head, underscales, and wing membranes all being this color. Her horns and edges of wing membranes look burnt, being a chocolate brown instead of a pale ginger. Her eyes, plated scales along her spine, and snout are all also chocolate brown. The pupils of her eyes are pale ginger, and her talons are ever so slightly tinted orange.
Taper always wears a smokey quartz hornring on her left horn, a gift from her sister. When in public, she wears are dark brown or black cloak with a gold pendant, or smears red and/or yellow paint on her scales as a disguise (she prefers the cloak). On special occasions, she can be seen wearing a gold chain necklace with several, both polished and rough smokey quartz and topaz gems. Underneath her eyes she has tiger's eye gems in diamond shapes embedded into her scales, similar to Ex-Queen Scarlet, Queen Ruby, and various others of the royal family, despite Taper not having any royal blood.
== Personality ==
Taper is high-tempered, easily getting angry and often raising her voice around others she doesn't like, and she's very sly. She will often stop at nothing to get what she wants, and can sometimes get angry enough to go a little crazy. She can be very private too, keeping secrets from even her closest friends. But get to know her a bit, and her raging personality may calm down a bit...unless you accidentally shout a remark back at her. Taper can be very manipulative, convincing other dragons that they're doing the right thing even though they aren't (Wax is an example of this), but Taper can easily be spooked and panic in stressful situations (this lead to her being caught and exiled early on).
