Peccary of the Sandwings

== Appearance ==
Peccary has scales the color of desert sand and a warm brown sail. She has beady, black eyes as well as a black forked tongue. He has small brown scales scattered across his snout, back, neck, and shoulders. She has pale wings that are a lighter shade of her scales. Peccary is riddled with several small scars, the most prominent being on the right side of her jaw, on her left temple, and a large, freshly-healed burn scar running up her front right leg, starting at the base of her talon and ending just past where his leg bends. He’s soft, yet thin, and lacks muscle, but is rather large. Peccary does not like jewelry, but wears a small onyx earring on her left ear. He also can sometimes be seen wearing a brown scarf around her neck.
==Personality==
=== (WARNING: An unintentional form of self-harm is mentioned briefly) ===
Peccary can be soft-spoken and a bit shy around strangers, but is otherwise just as obnoxious and sometimes even a bit rude as her friends. Peccary loves to joke around and laughs in almost every situation, good or bad. He does not believe in vulnerability or talking about his problems which results in slightly anxious or stressed behavior and appearing as “twitchy”, according to Blizzard. He refuses to cry in front of anyone, no matter the person. She is always fiddling with whatever she can get her talons on, whether it be her earring or grains of sand. She will even sometimes pick at wounds without realizing, which lead them to scar worse than they should. He has an awful memory and can’t seem to recall anything leading up to the current point of his life he is in. Despite her own problems, Peccary is level-headed and gives people helpful advice. She has no problem with being honest when giving advice, which some dragons don’t particularly appreciate. Peccary is also extremely smart and mature, which is hidden by his forced childish impulsivity and terrible sense of humor.
== Biography ==
=== (WARNING: This paragraph contains physical abuse) ===
Peccary was hatched to two young Sandwings that did not get along well. They both were irresponsible and not the best parents in different ways, which caused them to be rather neglectful of their dragonet. Because of this, Peccary grew up in the Kingdom of Sand on his own and had trouble making friends due to her intelligence making it difficult to get along with people her age, so she “dumbed herself down” and tried to figure out what her dragonet peers were interested in. He became obnoxious, carefree, and funny, leading him to gain many friends with little to no issue for a while. Peccary’s friends did not treat him well, but he was too afraid to leave, as he didn’t want to go back to having nobody. Her circle only continued to grow, eventually gaining dragons from different tribes as well. As she grew older, she began to drift apart from most of her Sandwing friends, which she seemed to mind less and less. Most of his remaining friends took advantage of him often and began to inflict physical harm upon him. She seemed to forget about everything as soon as it happened, though, so she didn’t mind much. The most problematic one of them all was a Nightwing, ironically named Woundhealer. She became very close with an Icewing in her circle named Blizzard and a Rainwing named Jade. They are just as afraid to leave as Peccary due to their own mistreatment, but Peccary receives the brunt of it all. Peccary’s mind has blocked out his bad experiences to protect him emotionally, which has led to his poor memory and issues with recollection of his past.
==Relationships==
==== Blizzard ====
Peccary thinks very highly of Blizzard. Blizzard and Peccary are best friends and the closest out of anyone else in the group. Their personalities match together well, and they are almost never seen without one another. Their interests are very similar and they will talk for hours about whatever they enjoy. Blizzard and Peccary get into trouble every once in a while, which they find to be rather funny. Whenever things go awry in their group, they find solace in one another by ranting incessantly about whatever small thing bothers them about their friends. They care about each other deeply and use one another as motivation. They are openly physically and verbally affectionate, often being mistaken as a couple in public. They are meant for each other no matter the relationship, romantically or platonically. They are soulmates in every sense of the word.
==== Jade ====
Peccary thinks that Jade is one of the smartest, most beautiful dragons he’s ever had the pleasure of meeting. Jade and Peccary are very close friends in the group. They have personalities that contrast greatly and allow them to have unique experiences every time they’re together. Peccary enjoys talking to Jade about whatever she finds interesting, and Jade enjoys listening. Jade sometimes joins in on Peccary and Blizzard’s rants, which both impresses and surprises Peccary, as she is usually lethargic and quiet. Jade finds herself to be in better moods whenever Peccary is around.
==== Woundhealer ====
Woundhealer is the self-proclaimed “leader” of their friend group. Peccary always compares herself to her “friend”, believing he is smarter, stronger, more talented, and overall better than her. Woundhealer is manipulative and smart, knowing just how to upset Peccary and anyone else he meets. He has physically injured Peccary the most out of anyone else in their friend group. He has permanently affected Peccary negatively, and will continue to in the future.
