Spire

Spire is a young adult SkyWing currently residing within the Sky Kingdom. An artistic dragon from a young age, Spire works as a musician for Queen Ruby.
== Appearance ==
Spire doesn't look odd or out of place among his fellow SkyWings - or, at least, his scales don't seem out of place. Although their colors change throughout his entire body, there is a sort of flow to the randomness of the different shades of red, a sense of order to the irregularity. 
The top of Spire's snout is an average red, perhaps a little on the darker side. It is this colour along his mouthline until it reaches his nose, narrowing upon doing so and running along only the very top of Spire's face. Once meeting Spire's large, pale brown eyes, the red disappears, only featuring upon irregular sections along Spire's spine further down the neck.
The majority of Spire's face is a dull red-pink that brings dead roses to mind - or, perhaps, burns. The scales in this part of Spire's body are flat and smooth; there is hardly any separation between them. To Spire's disappointment, there is one exception to this: one the right side of his face, a scale juts out, resembling a small mountain. 
Spire's eyes are, certainly, rather large. Instead of making him appear "cute", or in any way attractive, this feature makes him seem sickly and rather bug-eyed. His eyes are generally a pale brown, like a light shade of dirt, the brown darker facing his horns and fading out to a lighter shade before, eventually, hitting the uncross able boundary of his sclera.
The ridge dancing along the top of Spire's eyes is a little more pink then red, as well as significantly brighter then the medium-red of the top of his snout. It could be described as salmon, although Spire has referred to it as "mortifyingly pink", "the color of a burnt slug" and "ew".
Between the two eye-ridges is a rather small patch of forehead. The size of Spire's eye ridges has resulted in a diminished forehead size - although Spire does not mind this in the slightest. He is, in fact, glad to have a small forehead, despite the fact that this has made his dull salmon eye-ridges quite large. This is due to the fact that his forehead is a duller version of the dull salmon. Spire quite dislikes this color, even more so then the color of his eye-ridges.
His horns are the darkest part of him, a darker version of the medium-red at the tip of his snout. They are Spire's favourite feature; he loves their color and wishes that the rest of his body was covered in the same dark red colour. This is mainly due to the fact that he thinks darker shades for a SkyWing are "cool". His horns are rather thin, and curve at the base before dipping and, eventually, curving once more. Something he finds strange about them, however, are the irregular bands of grey circling them. The horns running along his spine are the same color as the majority of his horns, and larger then what could be considered normal.
The top of Spire's spine, running from the beginning of his neck to the end of his tail, is a patchwork of scales in two different colors. There doesn't seem to be any pattern, but there really is in nature. Spire tends to refer to these randomized scales as his bodies' physical interpretation of his scatter-brained behavior. The scales switch between the washed out color of his forehead and the medium-red of the tip of his snout.
The scales below these are an even more washed out pink-red, and some of the palest scales on Spire's body. They cover around double the amount of the ridge of multi-colored scales along Spire's spine. They make up around half of Spire's main scales - excluding, of course, his underbelly, which makes up a significant portion of his overall mass.
Spire's next portion of scales are multi-colored, yet more organized then the other stream of two coloured scales. There is a distinct pattern; first comes a slighter darker version of the watered down pink-red that danced freely across Spire's back. Then comes the same red that runs across most of Spire's face. This pattern is repeated throughout most of Spire's body.
Spire's underbelly is shockingly pale in contrast to his reasonably dark main scales. It's almost entirely white, with only a hint of red, and Spire explains it to others as 'the scent of roses drifting on the wind'. He isn't particularly fond of this color, finding that it makes it harder for him to hide in the shadows, and has attempted to cover it in a reddish mud several times before in an attempt to hide it.
The wings of this SkyWing are rather small, considering his tribe. As Spire tends not to fly, his wings are rather frail and thin. The dragon has a fear of heights, as well as not being able to stand, and has therefore confined himself to the ground. His excuse to prevent exercising his wing muscles is generally "I'll drop my art supplies if I fly", which, considering his clumsiness, generally works as an excuse. Spire's wing membranes are the same colour as his horns.
Spire's talons are stained different colours, something that he is sure will stay with him till his dying day. Instead of wishing that the red, green and blue talons would be permanent, Spire is fond of the stains, as he thinks they brighten his colour scheme and make him seem more artistic, something he always seeks to come across as.
Spire's body is riddled with small cuts and injuries. His wings suffer from his habit of spreading them out on the ground, dragging them, and are rather torn and ripped. Spire is quite aware that they will never heal. One of his wings has a large frostbreath scar across it, blackening it. His right ear is torn, something he did himself when tearing out an earring. A long scar runs down his body, curling around his left shoulder and stretching towards the beginning of his tail.
The SkyWing carries himself differently to most dragons. Years of verbal and physical abuse abuse at the talons of his parents have changed his mannerisms and way of walking. He walks with his head low, his eyes flitting nervously over his surroundings. His very posture screams submissive. His talons tend to drag on the ground, his wings held loosely and, occasionally, dragging on the ground, tail doing the same.
== Personality ==
Spire is a complicated dragon. To say anything other, to say anything less, would be to make Spire seem more shallow, more two dimensional, when, in fact, the SkyWing is a complex character. He both loves and hates the dragon he has become. He despises some of the choices he has made, but still smiles at the thought of the bravery making those choices had required. He is strong, and has endured far more then he would of thought possible to endure, yet still cries himself to sleep each night.
The SkyWing is shaped by the lack of support he was given by his parents. Even before his parents had time to reveal just how close-minded they were, they made Spire sorrowful and ashamed of who he was. Spire has always enjoyed music, poetry and art, and not been particularly skilled at anything more academic, which his parents have always tried to push him towards. This has made Spire afraid to express anything that makes him remotely comfortable.
Spire is always moving, always fidgeting. He finds it difficult to sit still and has difficulty focusing on one task at a time - his thoughts tend to dance away from whatever he is supposed to be doing, moving towards topics he finds more interesting or captivating.
