Mesquite

Mesquite is a female LeafWing / SandWing hybrid. She lives in the underworld of the Scorpion Den and is considered one of the top assassins in the city. But no one takes her seriously, so she is frowned upon.
== Appearance ==
Sand-yellow scales, with flecks of dark and light green, like freckles, dotting face, wings, and tail. Leaf-shaped wings, barb on the end of tail. Leaf-like horns and spines, very dark brown underbelly and eyes. Pouches of camel skin and palm fronds with poisons and weapons. Rather thin, wiry, and short.
== Backstory ==
Mesquite's father lived on an island off the coast of Pantala, but one day while he was swimming, he got caught in a storm and knocked out. He washed up on shore in Pyrrhia, where Thistle found him, and helped him, even though she didn't know what he was. While he was healing, they both fell for each other. They had an egg and lived on the southern and eastern part of the desert until they got caught in a battle between Burn and Blaze's forces while visiting the Scorpion Den and died. Her egg was found by a SandWing living in the Scorpion Den. Her adopted mother taught her to be cutthroat and tough If she wanted to survive. She was raised by this dragon with her son but, this dragon died from an attack on the Scorpion Den without telling her who her parents were. She now lives on her own and is constantly getting teased and bullied about her looks. She suspects she is a hybrid but isn't certain of what tribe. She now owns her own stall in the Scorpion Den market and sells poisons. She also can be hired to go out assassinate dragons.
