Faded by Alan Walker- Cuttlefish's theme songArt by me, base by Wheatproduct.AppearanceCuttlefish is quite small. She looks even smaller because she is always drooping. She is skinny, and sometimes her ribs are showing. Cuttlefish usually walks with her wings sagging by her sides. She does not care about how others see her, but makes a small effort to seem at least well kept.
Her main scales are a shade of dark, sad blue, with accents of teal here and there. Her underbelly is a pale-ish deep blue, and her horns and talons are dark teal. Cuttlefish's webbed spines are teal and salmon. Her wings are plain blue, with a few lighter patches. Her eyes always seem to be dull, despite the fact that they are a vibrant bright green. She has a light blue spot above each of her eyes. 
Cuttlefish's aquatic patterns are a shade of blue similar to her wings. She often flashes them for no reason. These patterns continue blue until they reach about her midsection. There they start fading into purple. 
PersonalityShe is the definition of emotional. She is constantly sad, and this causes her to become introverted. She is shy around new dragons, usually hiding behind a canvas. Under no circumstances will she start a conversation, except with her best friend, Scallop.
Oftentimes, random dragonets will say something that upsets her without knowing it. Sometimes, she feels so horrible that she swims away, back home. Other times, she just goes away to sit on a secluded bench or rock and be sad. A few times she has just cried openly, and run away out of embarrassment after. All these earn snickers and eye rolls from everyone around her. She cries so often she has earned the nickname Ultimate Crybaby by the other dragonets.
Cuttlefish absolutely hates this. She wants to explain to them that Atoll is incredibly special to her, but doesn't have the courage to. Every time she thinks about it, she tears up. 
Cuttlefish tries her best to try and understand others feelings, to comfort them when they're sad, but her heart is full with her own feelings, no room for others. Sometimes, a little voice in her mind, tells her, You have the biggest sadness of any of them. They're favorite tree fell down? Their friend is mad? Who cares about those tiny things. What happened to Atoll is bigger than they can ever imagine, let alone comprehend. You don't have space in your heart to fit those tiny things. So why try?
Cuttlefish has never told anyone about Atoll, they don't even remember her. Her parents know how much it affects Cuttlefish, and do everything in their power to not bring up their other child, or even slip her name into a sentence by accident. Scallop knows, however. He is Cuttlefish's only source of support away from home, but she sometimes pushes him away in her sadness. He always forgives her though, and she's glad, for what would she do without a friend.
Cuttlefish is a relatively smart dragonet, getting mostly A's and B's. She tries hard to get good grades, but not enough to be noticed. Cuttlefish wants to be an artist, but doesn't want to take art in fear of the teasing's of other dragonets. 
Currently, she is trying her skills at writing, and has written and illustrated a small novel that she hides under her bed.
Cuttlefish's MBTI personality is INFJ, The Councilor.
AbilitiesCuttlefish has the normal SeaWing abilities plus the uncanny ability to sort of fade into the background. She can easily blend into a crowd; in there, she can be almost invisible. Just how she likes it.
HistoryWhen Cuttlefish was about a year old, her twin sister, Atoll, wanted to explore around home. Their parents were at work. The two little ones swam around their entire village, and Cuttlefish had the suggestion to go explore farther, into the coral reef, when they got bored. Atoll agreed, and they went.
About a half mile out, the exhausted dragonets finally swam up to the beautiful reef. There were schools of tropical fish, octopi and great green turtles lazing around. Wow! Atoll flashed. It's even better than I thought it would be! Yeah! Cuttlefish replied, and swam up to a turtle. She blew some water on it, and it responded with a great gust of water from its flippers that sent Cuttlefish tumbling head over heels, laughing.
They spent their time playing with some fish, trying to catch crabs, and having races with a little dolphin calf and his mom. The dolphins always won.
They were playing with an octopus that Cuttlefish had found, when the fish swam away and the octopus hid in the coral. Cuttlefish told her sister to swim fast, and they swam. Atoll risked a glance back, and terrified, flashed SHARK! as bright as she could. A mistake.
All SeaWings know that sharks can't hurt them, but they can eat dragonets up to three years old, so they are dangerous, and killed if found close to a village. Cuttlefish and Atoll would only be a snack to this monster. 
The shark turned its attention toward the two blue and gray dragonets, and bore down on them, jaws open, its gray skin shimmering silver in the light coming from above, its dark eyes glinting with malice and hunger. Cuttlefish saw a narrow cave that they could fit into and flashed to her sister Quick! In here! Cuttlefish dove down, Atoll on her tail. She dove into it, and quickly turned around to make sure that Atoll was alright and coming. 
What she saw haunts her to this day. 
Atoll, seemingly in slow motion, swimming too close to the coral, her leg getting stuck in a small pocket of mussels and seaweed. The horror of what was about to happen flashing on her face. Atoll quickly flashing, I love you, sister. Goodbye. before the shark was upon her. 
Cuttlefish turned away, her fiery tears making the ocean saltier than it was already. She closed her eyes, but even without sight, one cannot ignore the warm billows of blood, washing through the current, brushing against scales. The scream of terror, soon replaced by chomping and a satisfied gulp.
Seemingly an eternity later, Cuttlefish woke up from her terror induced sleep, almost an unconscious sleep. The water was still a soft pink around her. Fighting back uncontrollable tears, and losing, she silently swam back home, her heart cracked in two. 
Her parents asked no questions, but understood from her red and swollen eyes, and a single flashed word, Shark. before she broke into gut wrenching sobs.
To this day, the sight or mention of a shark or that coral reef, makes Cuttlefish a complete wreck, causing her to sob uncontrollably and swim off, usually to the eye rolls and whispers of everyone around her. She wants to visit the spot where Atoll died, but every time the thought enters her mind, she cries for hours on end, pouring her heart out for her lost sister.
Relationships Barracuda | Father:
Cuttlefish loves her father, but its hard for her to deliver anything else. Barracuda has a hard time understanding Cuttlefish, he just awkwardly pats her when she's sad. Cuttlefish knows that he tries, but she still kind of resents him for not always being there to help her. 
Reflection | Mother:
Reflection is Cuttlefish's comfort. She is always there for her to lean on, and can sooth her from tears to normal breathing within minutes. Reflection loves Cuttlefish, but she too, is deeply sad for the loss of her other dragonet.
Scallop | Best friend:
Scallop is Cuttlefish's everything away from home. She is not afraid to open up to him, and has even gathered up the courage to tell him about Atoll. When Scallop is near her, she won't get teased and called names, as the other dragonets know that Scallop is not afraid to defend her.
Atoll | Sister:
This is one of those bonds that takes place through a long distance. Cuttlefish loves her sister dearly, and, as already stated, cries at least once a day, mourning her death. She knows that Atoll would have wanted her to move on, to live her life, but she can't forget about Atoll. Ever.
