== Description==
Mauna Kea is, in many ways, a very average SkyWing. His mainscales are dark orange, fading to more of a reddish color on their tail, which is rarely noticed unless they point it out. Their back is banana-yellow. Mauna Kea also has a ring of scales around their eye, which is a yellow so bright it almost looks green. Their eyes are the pale-ish orange of honeydew melons. Mauna Kea has slightly rugged features, from their battle training during the War of SandWing Succession.
== Personality==
Mauna Kea was formerly very cheerful, bubbly, and trusting, but since many a tramatic experience during the war, they have become more secluded.
Now, Mauna Kea is usually quiet, but not in a shy way---it looks more like they are thinking about something. They can be irritable if bothered by someone they don't know. Mauna Kea likes dark humor. They will snap if someone asks them about their experience during the war, saying that they don't ever want to talk about that experience again.
However, Mauna Kea can be friendly. They have to--- merchants must have some degree of friendliness if they want anyone to purchase their products---but Mauna Kea is sometimes just naturally nice if they are in a good mood. But if they are in a bad mood---well, watch out.
== History==
Mauna Kea was hatched when Queen Scarlet was still a young queen, and one of the only SkyWings who remembers life before the war. Their first seven years were fairly uneventful, playing out like a normal SkyWing's---with school, hobbies, and two parents who watched over them like a pair of hawks, but still were good and fair. 
Mauna Kea's mother was named Red, and she was gentle and smart, often helping her dragonet with schoolwork even when they didn't need it. Their father was a stern and powerful-looking SkyWing called Harpy, and their sister, Carnelian, was three years younger than her sibling. Mauna Kea knew there was a war somewhere in Pyrrhia, but they didn't care much about it. Life had to go on.
Until one day, when Red received a letter that said she had to be summoned for a battle at the Diamond Spray Delta in three weeks, and that she had to train quickly. Mauna Kea was shocked and horrified, and asked their mother why she had to go, as she had no previous battle training. Red replied that Queen Scarlet wasn't about to let a young, strong SkyWing wriggle out of fighting in the war, and she left.
Over the next period of time, Mauna Kea noticed that Red became more and more exhuasted with each time she went for battle training, and that fresh, bloody scars frequently appeared on her body. Mauna Kea was very worried for their mother, but decided to say nothing---it couldn't be helped, and the sooner that moons-blasted battle was over, the better.
Soon Mauna Kea's upcoming graduation exam distracted them, so they simply buried themselves in schoolwork and tried not to think about it. 
They eventually got very good scores, and their teacher gave them a letter, telling them to send it to their parents. Mauna Kea, curious about its contents, opened it on the way home. It said that their knowlege was beyond any other dragonet's, and that they could jump to a higher grade earlier. Mauna Kea more than readily accepted this message, and it felt like the wind was guiding their wings as they raced back home. 
Mauna Kea burst into the tower their family lived in, and found Harpy flipping over some paper work, Carnelian reading a book about Scarlet's arena, but Red...Red was nowhere to be seen. They immidiately panicked, and when they asked where she was, Carnelian replied that the family had recived another letter that said the general of Red's troop was doing call-ups a day early.
Needless to say, Mauna Kea was frantic.
They paced around their room at the top of the tower, their claws gouging ruts in the rough stone with ugly scraping sounds each time they made a tour. Eventually Carnelian came in and told her sibling that if they moped around any longer they'd dig a circular hole in the floor, pointed out that it wouldn't help their mother wherever she was, and left the room telling Mauna Kea to sit down and read a book or something.
