Quill (L1quid)

Quill is a male RainWing and L1quid's OC.
==Description==
Quill has black scales and white membranes, making him resemble a black-and-white bird. He also has orange dots on his body, to add some color to his scales. His emerald-green eyes are the only thing that stands out from his odd coloration.
He originally had scales in shades of blue prior to his current coloration.
==Personality==
Prior to being captured by the NightWings, Quill was like all RainWings - carefree and lazy. After being imprisoned, he became convinced that no one would help him and he would have to survive or die on the volcanic island.
After being freed by Glory's army from the NightWing island, Quill became hardened and jaded due to his experiences.
==Species Adaptations==
Quill has normal RainWing adaptations - chromatophores in scales to allow for camouflage, venom-spitting fangs, and a prehensile tail to hang from branches.
==History==
===Past===
Quill hatched in the RainWing village in 4,982 A.S., in the Rainforest Kingdom. As the list of names was being renewed for the year at his time of hatching, he was named after bird feathers until the list would give him his real name. However, his given name had cemented into his conscious when the list of names had been renewed.
===The Hidden Kingdom===
Quill was one of the dragons used by the NightWings to produce venom-proof armor. He was 29-years at the time (5,011 A.S.). How he got captured was never revealed.
===The Dark Secret===
Quill was rescued by Glory and the RainWing army from the volcano and brought back to the rainforest.
===Winter Turning===
One year after being freed from his imprisonment, Quill was living in the RainWing village peacefully and refused to go near the NightWing encampments due to his past trauma. He was 30-years at the time (5,012 A.S.), and changed his scale colors to black-and-white and orange as he was unable to go back to his normal coloration of blue. He had also secretly disavowed his tribe due to their incompetence during this time.
==Relations==
===Cloud===
Cloud is a male SkyWing.
===Canopy===
Canopy is a male LeafWing/RainWing hybrid and the only son of Quill and Sequoia.
===Glory===
Glory is the only queen Quill trusts due to her helping the captured RainWings, albeit she is the main founder and first queen of the RainNight Kingdom.
===Heat===
Heat is a female SandWing from Pyrrhia.
===Maple===
Maple is a female LeafWing.
===Sequoia===
(Not to be confused with the canon Sequoia.)
Sequoia was a female LeafWing and Quill's mate.
===Yellow===
Yellow is a female SandWing and Quill's assistant in his rainforest home.
==Trivia==
*Quill is loosely based off of Quill (FeatherWing) from L1quid's FeatherWings trilogy.
**If FeatherWings were to occur on Pern (WoF's Dragon Planet), the RainWings would represent continent/planet Eukarya's FeatherWings and the main events would occur one hundred years after Wings of Fire (series') third/final arc (books 11-15).
**Quill is the oldest draconic character L1quid has created (FeatherWings and/or Wings of Fire).
**Even though Quill (FeatherWing) was never held captive by another species for a prolonged time in FeatherWings, WoF-Quill was made a RainWing captive to tie into the canon Wings of Fire (series) while also bringing the character's original backstory to life.
**In FeatherWings, Quill's coloration is similar to the bald eagle, the national bird of the United States. In the WoF adaption, RainWing-Quill keeps the original character's coloration for continuity, but has them for specific reasons. 
***In RainWing culture, black scales means "anger, hatred, rage"; white scales means "pain, sickness, fear, shock"; and orange scales means "irritation, frustration, annoyance". The current coloration comes from the torture Quill went through in NightWing claws and how no one helped him and the other captured RainWings (except for Glory).
**Quill's theme song (Now My Feet Won't Touch the Ground - Coldplay) is the same his original source character's theme song for continuity and also because the lyrics apply to both characters. 
***Quill's theme song was originally Now my Feet Won't Touch the Ground by Coldplay (due to the lyrics and L1quid's love of the band), but was changed after L1quid attended one of the band's concert livestreams on 10/28/2022 and saw that they injected statements that L1quid disagrees with into the show's second half. The theme song was changed to Please Don't Stop (Part Two) by Low Roar (due to the lyrics).
*A "quill" is a feather plucked from a bird used for writing or a large feather from a bird's wings or tail feathersQuill - Dictionary.com.
