🩸Mosquito 🩸

The main antagonist of Blood Ties.
Voice Claim: Splicer- Bioshock (warning- some swear words)
== Appearance ==
=== Genetics ===
Mosquito is tall, muscular, and brawny for her age. She has a large jaw and an angular face. She has maroon-red eyes. Her overscales are dark brown, almost black, and her underscales are a reddish brown. Her horns and claws are black, and her wing-membrane is reddish brown.
=== Scars ===
She has no scars, due to enchanting her scales to heal any wounds completely.
=== Accessories ===
She doesn't wear accessories often, only if she wants to make a non-permanent enchantment on herself, and usually only a small ring or earring.
== Personality ==
Mosquito is teasing and sarcastic when she's in a good mood. She tends to anger easily, using harsh words and sometimes physical violence. She does (initially) have a sense of guilt that pulls her back just enough from doing anything truly terrible. When her faults are pointed out she will defend herself until the very end, even if she does have doubts in her own mind about whether or not what she is doing is right.
Despite this she is very vain, and has a high amount of confidence in herself and her ability to handle things well. Especially after she enchants herself to remove her guilt, her ego reigns supreme, and she will do anything (no matter how cruel or terrible) if she think it will either free her from her perpetual boredom, or if she thinks (in her own crooked mind) that it is the right thing to do.
== Powers and skills ==
=== Tribal abilities ===
She possesses all typical MudWing abilities (conditional firebreath, mud healing, strength).
=== Fighting Skills ===
Mosquito possesses a lot of physical strength, and because she was a soldier in the war, she is also good at talon-to-talon combat. 
=== Animus magic ===
Mosquito was hatched as an animus dragon, inherited from her great-grandmother Zoanthid, a SeaWing royal (a distant relative of Queen Coral).

== Biography ==
(age chart used: User blog:DuskRose42/Dragon age guide)
=== Blood Ties ===
(5,006 AS, 0 DY/0-4 HY)
Mosquito is hatched, and Quagmire holds an immediate dislike for her, feeling that there is a 'wrong' feeling in her presence (him sensing her animus power, though he did not know it then).
(5,007-5,008 AS, 1-2 DY/5-12 HY)
Mosquito grew up in the Mud Kingdom with her siblings Newt, Moss, Quagmire, and Caiman. Newt was the strategic one, Moss was maternal, Quagmire was the harsh bigwings, and Caiman was Mosquito's closest friend. Quagmire despised both Caiman and Mosquito, Caiman for being 'weak' in his eyes, and Mosquito for being 'unsettling'. Because of that they banded together, often having inside jokes and teasing one another. After they became old enough to fight in the war, though, things began to change, and Mosquito started to descend down a darker path.
(5,009 AS, 3 DY/14 HY)
Mosquito's animus magic is discovered by her brother, Caiman, who tries to stop her from using too much of her magic and to keep an eye on her. It was going well, briefly, until a series of mishaps caused Mosquito to unleash her magic on her sister Moss, killing her, and putting a spell on herself to do away with all guilt and sorrow. To have someone to blame for Moss' death, she frames her brother, Caiman.
In the process she also met and enchanted the SeaWing Tide, who became disguised as a false MudWing named Humus and was her puppet for the three following years.
(5,010 AS, 4 DY/ 15 HY)
Mudskipper hatches and is given up to Urchin and Porpoise.
(5,011 AS, 5 DY/16 HY)
Traveling with Tide, plotting, and unknown activities.
(5,012 AS, 6 DY/ 17 HY)
Mosquito is in Jade Mountain, (Tide disguised as Seafoam, herself disguised as a MudWing named Gnat), with a scheme to reignite the wars between the tribes. Her plot is foiled by the escaped Caiman and his friends (Rose, Violet, Palemoon, and Mudskipper). Due to their efforts, Mosquito dies.
Mosquito's soul floats freely, but is snatched up and consumed by a strange magical creature known as Lady Devastation, who poses a threat to Rose, and to the world. It is unknown what is left of Mosquito's soul after this.
== Family Tree ==
== Relationships ==
=== Caiman ===
Mosquito and Caiman once had the closest relationship out of all their siblings, bonding over the fact that they were often rejected by society at large, having an 'us against the world' sort of attitude. This was bolstered by the fact that even their bigwings, Quagmire, shunned them. This relationship quickly turned complex after Mosquito discovered her magic. Despite everything, Caiman was always trying to save Mosquito from herself, and Mosquito was always wishing for some way to gain her old relationship with Caiman back.
=== Quagmire ===
Although Quagmire disliked both Mosquito and Caiman, he preferred Mosquito out of the two of them. Although she was often considered 'creepy' and 'unsettling' by others, Quagmire saw Caiman as weak, which in his eyes was the greatest sin of all. Although he avoided friendly conversation with Mosquito, he showed more respect to her because of her fighting prowess.
=== Newt ===
Newt tended to be cold and overly strategic. She did show love for her siblings, but not in an overly affectionate manner. She tended to be very loyal to Quagmire, following his lead, so if he was harsh on Mosquito and Caiman: so was she.
Unlike Quagmire, Newt had always liked Caiman, despite her general harshness, and strongly disliked Mosquito because of her unpredictability. Newt loved to plan, and having a loose canon in the sib group disrupted her peace of mind.
Despite this, she always followed Quagmire's lead, and thus testified against Caiman along with him.
=== Moss ===
Moss was motherly and kind towards Mosquito, but less so than with the others. She was level-headed, with high emotional intelligence, but she also was deeply afraid of Mosquito. Like Quagmire, she could sense the animus magic within her without realizing it, causing her to feel 'off' and 'unsettled' around her. Although she tried her best to hide it and treat Mosquito like everyone else, ultimately her fear caused her to have an outburst at Mosquito, which in Mosquito's desperation, caused Moss' death.
=== Tide ===
Mosquito never got to know Tide's real personality, because practically as soon as they met, she enchanted his personality by accident and he changed considerably, becoming a loyal lapdog towards her, devoid of personality. She had been enamored immediately when she saw the real Tide, but his true self was quickly washed away. After his enchantment, she became annoyed and resentful of him, but kept him with her for years because of a loneliness and boredom which consumed her, and she attempted to mold him to become better and more interesting, but he just became more boring. Because of this she would slash him and attack him in anger and frustration at her own failures, resulting in many deep and permanent scars.
Tide, after his enchantments were lifted, is terrified of Mosquito, and will likely be traumatized by her abuse for the rest of his life. 
=== Mudskipper ===
Mosquito only saw Mudskipper when he was under a year old, just long enough to have him and hand him off to his grandparents, Urchin and Porpoise. She didn't care much about him, and disliked the fact that he was a hybrid. Despite forcing a dragon of another tribe to fall in love with her, she has shown distaste towards hybrids.
=== Rose, Violet, Palemoon ===
Mosquito only knew what Tide had told her of them, after he was spying on them. The only long amount of time she spent around them was when they successfully helped kill her (although Palemoon was actually still unconscious...). 
She made remarks about Rose towards Caiman, saying she will never love him or truly understand him, and making derogatory comments about her being a hybrid.
=== Urchin and Porpoise ===
Tide's parents, who Mosquito only met briefly while handing Mudskipper off to them. During that short time, she threatened them and told them not to follow or try to rescue Tide, otherwise she would kill him.
