It's funny how danger can sometimes be hidden in plain sight - Crown is one perfect example of that. Sure, she might be young, innocent, her thoughts completely free from any evil intent, and she's small, possibly even weak for a dragonet, but don't be fooled, she is someone who can kill with one touch.
Crown is a small, almost underfed dragonet, and you can see that her limbs are much more bony than those of her age. She retains the impressive wingspan of a SkyWing, and all their typical tribal features, but in terms of height alone, intimidating is the last word you'll associate with her appearance, very ironically. She's slowly gaining weight and rebuilding her lost muscle, but just by one look at her, most would consider her to be weak and harmless, a dragonet who couldn't stand her own in a fight against someone of her own age. 
The dragonet's scales are a bright carmine red, with a row of darker imperial red scales running down her back. In the sunlight, these colors ripple dynamically, and if one looks closely they would spot tiny wisps of smoke rising from her body. Light caramel brown spines adorn her back, and this color is shared with all of her claws, as well as the two twisting horns on top of her head. Her large wings seem to resemble actual smoldering flames - their membranes are crimson red crossed with bright sunset orange, and upon closer inspection, you can see gold veins running through them like molten lava. 
Like all firescales SkyWings, Crown's eyes are an unusual color, but instead of the typical expected blue, its a bright forest green. Despite her being covered in deadly fire, and that everyone avoids her like the plague, her eyes seem to still contain a dragonet's usual mirth and excitement, as well as curiosity for the wide, wide world around her. Her gait is often unsteady, due to her lack of strength, but she still bounces down the street like any young dragonet would, the cheer in her steps still evident. Sometimes, you could still catch a hint of apprehension in her face, signs of worry and guilt and the stress of having to refrain herself from touching almost everything she sees.

Firescales SkyWings used to be regarded as abominations - monsters that should be feared, looked upon with disgust, and be disposed as soon as they were born to nullify any danger they may pose to the world. However, those days were tales of the past - fast forward to when this story was told, there was no longer a law that stated fireborns needed to be executed upon sight. 
Crown was born alongside her twin sister, Regalia, to a SkyWing couple Raptor and Harrier. The two were initially delighted at the realization that they would be raising twins, but all those visions that they had for their dragonets' future was shattered when one of them turned out to be a firescales, and the other came crawling out of the egg with no fire at all.
You see, Raptor did not turn out to be an accepting, patient mother that loved her dragonets no matter what they looked like, or what they were. Crown's mother had debated on just dropping her off a cliff and pretended that she never had twins, before Harrier sternly remarked that such a thing would be just as illegal as any other murder, further saying that it doesn't change the fact that they were their precious dragonets that should be cherished at all costs. Reluctantly, she agreed, but let's just say it would be a lie to say that she put a lot of effort into caring after her daughters in the coming days.
To minimize any sort of explanation to the sisters regarding their birth conditions, Raptor moved Crown to a cave nearby, where she watched over her for almost every waking hour plus some. Meanwhile, Regalia was settled down in their comfortable home and raised like a normal dragonet. Both of them had no knowledge about each other's existence, as well as completely oblivious to their... special traits.
Of course, there were still moments where Crown questioned everything. Not just because she was a young dragonet, and dragonets were naturally curious. It is hard to not find your mother acting suspicious when she looks at you with disdain, and even hatred most of the time, as well as almost strictly forbidding you to leave the cave you were born in. Crown was allowed to roam about in a very limited radius, and almost never let out of sight. This frustrated the young, energetic dragon to no less, even more when she was given a rule to never break at all costs - never touch any dragon you see. 
Crown followed these rules - mostly. Sometimes she tried sneaking a little bit further to get extra prey herself, since she isn't given much food, just a little bit more than enough to survive. She sometimes tries to wave to dragons that might catch sight of her, and it delighted her when some waved back. However, the one other dragon she was most interested in was this pale pink SkyWing, who was one of the dragons she had greeted before. Harrier drops by the cave frequently to see his daughter, yet this young dragonet that seems to follow him at a distance when they were outside doesn't come by. Why was her father constantly seen with a dragonet she never knew of?
Slowly, Crown found ways to break the rules her mother forced on her, and to her surprise, Regalia did the same. They eventually learned each other's names, often sneaked in moments to talk to each other, with Crown hearing tales from her unknown sister who attended school like a normal dragonet. Of course, it puzzled the both of them as to why she wasn't considered "normal" or even "fit enough for school", but Crown was a carefree soul and didn't mind too much, as long as Regalia promised to tell her everything she sees and learns. They almost, almost shook their talons once, but Crown reminded herself, last second, of the one rule she couldn't afford to break, whatever the reason was.
But a touch-starved dragonet could only hold on for so long.
As the two unknown sisters bonded, both also started to come up with more and more ways to see each other more often, breaking the orders they were explicitly given.
