Queen Crescent

Queen Crescent was an adult female IceWing animus. She was the queen of the IceWings during the SkyWing Throne Dispute and Civil War, and resided in the Snowmoon Palace up until she was imprisoned by her former friends Funnelcloud and Quing Tidal. She is known for creating the Icy Isles, a series of islands in the antarctic after fleeing with her tribe from the rest of Pyrrhia due to her insanity and paranoia of attacks from her neighbors and enemies. 
After becoming queen, she was known to shower her tribe with animus gifts and affection before going insane and re-establishing the circle rankings and annexing the northern part of the Queendom of Sand. Once she was defeated and her family was penalized, she was and is now widely believed and painted to be as cruel and evil as Darkstalker.
==Description==
Queen Crescent had pale, moon blue and white scales, with darker underscales. She had no visible scars, and a regally long tail and neck. Crescent had large wings with multiple shades of pale blue, with white swirls on them almost like frost. Her horns were shaped like icicles, and deep blue in coloration with white swirls on them as well. Her claws also shared a deep blue coloration, and were curved like crescent moons, which stood out against her pale scales in a sinister way. Crescent's spikes are a light periwinkle that fade to a truer shade of pale blue and are long and pointy and will flare and ruffle up when she is deeply frustrated. 
The Queen almost wears a neutral expression, with hooded indigo eyes that are always examining everything around her. She is adorned with jewelry, including many IceWing gifts that Queen Snowfall is depicted with, including the Gift of Strength and the Gift of Vision, although its unknown why she bears the latter. Queen Crescent owns a replica of a first circle necklace, even before she re-established the circles. 
==Personality==
Queen Crescent was smart, nerdy, cunning, bold, opinionated and competitive with a reserved demeanor, especially when she was younger. She had anger issues which arguably got worse as she aged. Crescent's anger led to her throwing tantrums every so often, even after she was a little dragonet, although the tantrums weren't destructive after she turned a year old. The IceWing was also easy to agitate and annoy, although she concealed this and paid less attention to things that aggravated her as she got older.
Crescent suffered from anxiety and the idea of being a failure, especially since her siblings provided her with an unstable life. She worried about not being enough and constantly believed that her being away from others was a blessing for a long time. She was very self-conscious for most of her life. The dragoness preferred being alone and being around quieter dragons, as she was quiet herself. She was also very open minded, especially for a royal, and loved learning things and taking up new hobbies. She admired things from a distance and did not like causing any sort of scenes.
Crescent usually thought before she acted and was very good at scheming and planning things. Crescent was always very organized, and paid attention to any and all details, and while she thought about others before her most of the time, she herself was definitely high on her priority list until she went insane. She was also a secretive dragon, and her face rarely showed emotion in many scenarios. Queen Crescent was also extremely paranoid, and planned for worst case scenario, and even acted on it, as shown when she deserted Pyrrhia and created the Icy Isles. 
Queen Crescent always consciously or subconsciously picked favorites and least favorites of things, whether it be certain foods to individual dragons. She would manipulate others to get her way and would feel guilty about it when she was a dragonet. Many of her traits made other dragons find her undesirable as a partner, which worried her mother, who thought she would never find a match. Crescent used to act with kindness and compassion and would often give to the less fortunate and would ask her mother to do more for them. However, she was not as dedicated as her younger sister Crystal when it came to donating to charities or visiting orphanages. 
The queen became extremely bitter, hateful and cold in her later years, especially after isolating herself from her tribe except for her family. She constantly worried and anticipated certain events and would lash out on others even. Crescent became merciless and cruel, and used her oldest daughter Timber as a mouthpiece because she herself did not want to show herself. She was forceful, neglectful and strict during her last few years before she was imprisoned, and would give everyone, including her family, the cold shoulder. Crescent even tried to kill Funnelcloud and Tidal out of rage when they confronted her, showing how awful she could truly be. 
==Biography==
Note: This takes place in the 5,900s-6,000s AS. See here for a clearer timeline.
<tabber>
|-|Pre-Hatching=
Queen Blizzard was a well-known IceWing Queen who was kind, fair, and mostly unbiased. She had two eggs, Crevasse and a brother, around a decade and a half after she assumed the throne, and the Ice Queendom was hopeful for this new heir. A few years later, Queen Blizzard had Crescent's and Chrome's eggs, and eventually a few years later, Blizzard had another two eggs, Crystal and another brother. 
When Crescent did hatch, it became very clear she wasn't as valuable as her sisters. 
|-|Dragonethood=
Ever since she was a young dragonet, Crescent has always been quiet and the least publicly seen of the royal family. She stayed in the palace, away from others, but had an interest in learning things. When she was a very young dragonet, Queen Blizzard kept her close until she was around a year old, where she tried encouraging and bringing the princess out into the public, although she was very anxious, and it was clear she didn't want to interact with others in person. 
Despite being protected and sheltered from everything up until she was a year old, she was constantly bullied by her older siblings, Princess Crevasse and Prince Caribou. She only really trusted Chrome, since they were the only dragonet in their hatching aside from Crescent herself. When Crescent's younger siblings hatched, Princess Crystal and Prince Calcite, Crescent was worried they would be valued more than her, which seemed to be true.
Crescent lived under Crevasse's and Crystal's shadow. This led to her feeling that nobody needed or wanted her, and she thought she wouldn't bother her mother by simply existing. Crescent was around three, and that's when the news of animus magic being found in the MudWing and LeafWing tribes broke, shocking everyone after nearly two centuries of no animus magic. Queen Blizzard and King Evergreen rushed to have the tribe tested, starting with the royal family. The only one who did have animus magic, was Princess Crescent.
Everyone was overjoyed, yet worried of Crescent's animus magic. Her being an animus drew unwanted attention to her. However, King Evergreen convinced Queen Blizzard to keep it a secret from the other tribes, and they briefed everyone who knew that it was not good for Crescent to have everyone know about her ability. Crevasse and Crystal envied Crescent from that moment on, and everyone expected her to follow the IceWing tradition of a single usage of power to avoid being like Queen Diamond, Prince Arctic and especially Darkstalker. This put more pressure and stress on Crescent than ever, and she was very unhappy.
Princess Crescent found a liking of travelling and admiring and learning from a distance. She also wanted to focus on her hobbies such as painting, drawing and playing instruments, but never had the time to since she was being mentored by her parents alongside Crevasse, Chrome and Crystal. Chrome, however, would try to opt out whenever possible, which Crescent thought was strange. Crevasse, and their brothers would constantly torment Crescent, which made her even more insecure about everything. 
Crescent liked to spend her days in her room doing the things that she liked doing, although she occasionally picked up new hobbies and interests and leaving others behind. Her mother decided that she will come to meetings and conferences alongside Crevasse and will not be stuck in her room all day. Crescent hated this idea but dealt with it as she spent some of her fourth and fifth years of life doing just that and adjusted to handling small issues on her own and rarely giving speeches.
As she got older, Crystal was much more social, kind and graceful than Crescent could ever be, which lead to Blizzard favoring Crystal over Crescent. However, Blizzard was sweet and caring for her middle princess, but only gave her this type of attention because she did not want Crescent to resent her and she wanted to constantly tell Crescent what it means to be an animus. While this made Crescent feel worse about everything, Chrome thought the attention that they lacked was unfair since Chrome was not an animus.
However, Chrome and Crystal (especially Chrome) weren't as mean towards Crescent as their other siblings were. Chrome and Crescent still hung out and spoke with each other often, but sometimes their conversations were strained, and they didn't trust each other with their problems. When Crescent was around five, Queen Blizzard gathered all of her dragonets and told her about the next school year at Jade Mountain. She told all of them she would choose one of them to go to the academy, and they would be the only royal IceWing there. 
This sparked a lot of rivalry between the siblings, and it was quite clear that Princess Crescent's brothers weren't going. Crevasse wanted to go herself, but also wanted Crescent or Chrome to go because she didn't want to deal with them. Crystal, however, was quite young to be in the academy, although exceptions for two-year olds have been made such as with a former SeaWing Queen, Queen Anemone. Eventually, a few months later after the usual life of Crescent, Queen Blizzard gathered the siblings together and announced it would be Princess Crescent who will go to Jade Mountain.
Crevasse had mixed feelings; She was mad that she herself wasn't chosen, but glad she wouldn't have to be near Crescent or deal with her. Crystal threw a fit about her not being able to go, Chrome was upset but understood, and the brothers knew they had no chance. When Crescent asked her mother Blizzard why she was chosen, the queen told her she wanted her to not only travel and see things from a distance, but interact with things, and expand her knowledge on stuff so she will use a better judgement for her animus gift.
When Crescent turned six, she had her first ever hatching day party, although it was small, and she was thrilled to have one since she was the only daughter (and at the time, Chrome) who didn't get a party for her hatching day. Crescent the next day was expected to pack her things, and she did, being very anxious and nervous, and said goodbye to Chrome, although they didn't reciprocate. 
|-|Jade Mountain=
Queen Blizzard flew the new IceWing students, including Princess Crescent, to Jade Mountain. They met with all the other students, and for the first few days, there were no classes. Queen Blizzard met up with the other queens and sent Crescent on her (un)merry way. Crescent at first didn't want to be around others, including her own tribe, so she stuck around with them. However, Queen Blizzard took note of this and asked the staff if they could intervene and have her interact with others of different tribes, because she has before. 
Princess Crescent was very nervous to interact at first, but eventually the staff encouraged her to interact with others. While trying to avoid others, especially the SeaWings since they were all of nobility or royalty and were being obnoxious, she bumped into a SkyWing named Funnelcloud. The SkyWing was at first annoyed and avoided Crescent for the rest of the first day. They were both assigned in the Gold Winglet and were clawmates with one another. Crescent apologized, and since the two had nothing better to do, they interacted with one another.
It turns out, they had many things in common, such as being royals who didn't want to be in the spotlight, mothers who gave them attention for specific reasons, older siblings who didn't like them, and a preference of doing artistic things they enjoyed. They were later known for swapping hobbies and eventually were spotted hanging out with each other. The next day, Queen Blizzard was proud to see Crescent talk to and befriend the youngest daughter of her friend Queen Garnet. On the second day, everyone had their first classes and Funnelcloud introduced Crescent to a SkyWing friend of hers'.
Crescent's worries eventually lessened in severity, as she made her way throughout the second and the third day. Queen Blizzard eventually departed, as well as most of the queens, although the only one who remained was Queen Cove of the SeaWings, who made it clear her daughters and nobility will be treated above everyone else. Princess Crescent felt uncomfortable around the SeaWing royalty, while Princess Funnelcloud was a little bit more annoyed. 
But later that third day, Princet Tidal got into a fight with Funnelcloud's friend. Tidal threw one of the biggest fits in Pyrrhian history and was very rude and cruel. Funnelcloud and Crescent tried stepping in, however Tidal and Royal both teamed up against them. So, Crescent and Funnel went to Queen Cove and told them what happened. Queen Cove denied her dragonets could be like this and was very angry with the two princesses and demanded that they be removed from their status of power.
Princesses Crescent and Funnelcloud retreated and eventually spoke to Funnel's friend and comforted them. Eventually, Tidal and Royal were punished, much to Queen Cove's rage. However, Princess Crescent took the time to befriend the bratty Princet. Funnelcloud was also involved, but Tidal didn't know the two that well. However, both befriended them, and they helped them see what life was like for non-royals (the best they could), and how other dragons felt. Crescent also learned some from this, although she was fairly well-rounded and aware of the world despite her royal and cold aura.
Tidal moved into their dorm, and the trio were well known around the school, and Crescent was proud of Princet Tidal's changes. All was well and great for a few months; the trio hung out with each other and helped each other out. They also hung out with others, from RainWings from small villages to SandWings who were a bit too passive-aggressive. Robin forgave Tidal for their outrage and bullying. Tidal became the speaker and socializer of the friend group they eventually formed; Fruit Dove the RainWing, Lion the SandWing, Robin the SkyWing, Tidal the SeaWing, Funnelcloud the SkyWing and Crescent the IceWing.
All six of them finished the first year of Jade Mountain and got two months off for the summer. They all went to their homes, dealing with whatever their situations were, but they had time to meet up and they did so, especially the royals since it was easier for them. They eventually returned for their second year, and it was almost the same as the first. However, news got out that Queen Garnet had been assassinated by an exiled IceWing hybrid, and a SandWing. 
The classes were put on hold and Funnelcloud was allowed time off to grieve, and she wanted to take that opportunity. However, Princess Rose Quartz, Funnel's older sister, arrived at the academy with her fiancé to warn Funnelcloud that General Harpy was going to take control and go after the both of them. However, Rose Quartz was the oldest daughter, which meant she was supposed to take the throne, so this confused everyone. However, Rose Quartz did not want to become Queen, and her fiancé did not want to become King. 
Funnelcloud's anxiety hit hard, with Crescent and Tide, alongside the rest of the group, attempting to comfort her. Funnelcloud asked Rose Quartz if Garnet's husband could rule the SkyWings until he figured out what will happen, and Rose Quartz promised that she will try to say what she can and say the stuff Funnel wanted to say before leaving. Crescent, despite knowing this, felt it was odd that Funnel needed someone to speak for her. 
However, one day, General Harpy, and the son of the late Queen Garnet, came to Jade Mountain unannounced, and disrespected Funnelcloud and threatened her. Tide was the only one who stood up for Funnel. Tidal argued that Funnel should become queen when she was saying, causing Harpy to become very angry and declare all SeaWings to be banned from the Sky Queendom for one year and that Tidal could never go. Tidal locked themself in their dorm for days, all offended and mad and Crescent felt numb and thought she did something to the SkyWing or felt involved somehow, since it was an IceWing hybrid and exile who killed Garnet.
Classes continued as normal for a few months, before Rose Quartz returned to pick up Funnelcloud, who had decided to drop out of the academy which devastated Crescent and Tide, however they and the friend group stuck together (barely). Queen Blizzard sent a guard to the academy to protect Crescent from any potential attacks, and Funnelcloud as well if she so wished to return. However, both Tidal and Crescent did not return for a third year.
|-|SkyWing Throne Dispute=
Princess Crescent remained in contact with her friends, especially Funnelcloud since she was worried about her. However, Funnelcloud rarely responded most of the time, due to her lack of time to. Queen Blizzard constantly went on diplomatic trips, sometimes taking her daughters with her. Princess Crescent when she went, spent her time talking to Funnelcloud and trying to either hype her up or distract her from the SkyWing throne fiasco.
However, because Crescent was over the age of seven, Queen Blizzard told her she had to come up with an animus gift to grant to the tribe, a topic in every single letter she wrote to her in Jade Mountain. Princess Crescent eventually settled on the Gift of Vegetation, a few patches of permafrost where in times of famine or whenever a dragon needed will become unfrozen and grow the best tasting and most nutritious fruits and vegetables in all of Pyrrhia. 
 
Not too long after Princess Crescent granted her animus gift, Chrome came out as transgender to his family. Queen Blizzard and King Evergreen were in shock and stated that he was ungrateful because he was an heir, and he already had brothers, while Crevasse, Crystal and Crescent were accepting of Chrome's identity. When the news reached the public, almost everyone was accepting, and interested since this has happened very few times in the case of royalty.
Chrome also wanted to become a doctor, which his parents and Crevasse were reluctant to let him be. So, Crescent gave him books and scrolls she found in the library and asked for reading material from Funnel and Tidal as well, which she was given to give to her brother. Not too long after Chrome received the books and scrolls, Princess Funnelcloud wrote a letter to Queen Blizzard requesting she can stay in the palace since she felt unsafe and under too much pressure in her own Queendom.
When Princess Crescent begged her mother to say yes, she reluctantly agreed and Funnelcloud was given a room, alongside two personal guards that the SkyWing king sent to protect Funnelcloud. Funnelcloud and Crescent became even closer, with rumors speculating that they were dating. As things calmed down in Pyrrhia and the fear of another succession war dwindled over the next year and it became more likely that the King Consort would rule until he died, and it would be assumed that then Princess Rose Quartz would become queen. 
Regular contact between the friend group of six at Jade Mountain continued, Crescent, Tide and Funnel got to see each other and hang out on a semi-regular basis, even though the three constantly wrote letters to each other. Tidal eventually said they didn't like how their mother was running the tribe, and they wanted to challenge her before Princess Royal did, but they weren't sure if a non-binary leader would be accepted. 
The other five, and including Chrome, all showed support for Tide and even went out of their way to lend them resources and records about previous SeaWing challenges and the rules and expectations, and even encouraged Tidal ask Queen Blizzard about what it's like being a queen. The group all hung out, and Crescent learned more about being a queen and was best friends with Funnelcloud, had a bad relationship with her siblings, became a little political, y'know, the normal. 
Around the second-year mark of the SkyWing Throne Dispute, the SkyWing king called a meeting for all Queens, their consorts and heirs, as well as all of the SkyWing tribe to a meeting. While most of the tribe was unable to come, he and the Queens came to the conclusion all SkyWings will be able to vote for which dragonet, Rose Quartz, Harpy and Funnelcloud, will become the next SkyWing leader, and that royalty and dragons of importance of other tribes can vote as well.
Funnelcloud asked her royal friends to vote for Rose Quartz, and they did. Princet Tidal got to formally meet Rose Quartz, the SkyWing king and interact with the other queens, asking them for advice and their experience about being queen. They all gave advice, and since many of them didn't like Queen Cove, encouraged the young Princet to not only challenge their mother, but break barriers and become the first non-binary 'queen' - or, in Tidal's case, quing.
The SkyWing Throne Dispute ended with Rose Quartz being elected as queen, much to her and her new husband's despair, especially since they had an egg that they didn't want learning or wanting the throne when they were older. Funnelcloud eventually returned to the SkyWing Queendom, but definitely spent a lot of time with Tide and Crescent. 
|-|Falling Out=
Princess Crescent developed a crush on an IceWing on the outskirts of the Ice Queendom. The IceWing's name was Reindeer, and he had an unusual coloration and was very kind. Crescent and Reindeer became friends, and Crescent donated treasure and gave them many resources, and allowed them to live on the outskirts of the palace. They soon started dating, although Crescent wasn't very public about it. 
When Princess Funnelcloud came to visit a few months later, Crevasse trying to start stuff, informed Funnelcloud about Reindeer and Crescent being a couple, especially since Crevasse knew how close the two princesses were. This caused Funnelcloud and Crescent to get into a huge fight, with Funnelcloud going as far as accusing Crescent of cheating publicly, stating that they were in a relationship, but Crescent stated they were just friends and nothing more.
Funnelcloud took all of her remaining things from the palace and told her guards and those she could influence to never go to the Ice Queendom again and went to go visit Tidal instead. Crescent was very hurt, but bitter about it, and was angry with Crevasse, and considered using her animus magic against her older sister. Queen Blizzard did nothing to punish Crevasse, as Crevasse had become much more violent and bossy over the recent years.
The queen also insisted that Crescent and Reindeer get engaged, which Crescent was reluctant to do since she hasn't known Reindeer for a few years. The princess also wrote letters apologizing to Tide, Funnel and the friend group, which Lion ended up siding with Funnel and preaching Crescent was an awful dragon, while Tide was neutral, Robin supported Funnelcloud because she was a princess, and Fruit Dove thought Crescent did nothing wrong.
This tore apart the friend group, and it disbanded, even though it was only held together by the thin threads of being pen pals pretty much. Crescent was devastated, and used her animus magic in secret to banish Crevasse and her diehard supporters to the northern Sky Queendom until she allowed them to return. She only told Reindeer and Tidal about this, and both of them kept the secret.
Funnelcloud eventually apologized to Crescent privately and publicly for how she reacted and for saying hurtful things towards the IceWing princess, but she could never forgive her. Crescent was desperate and glad to accept the apology but was still upset with Funnel. Around this time, everyone in the Ice Queendom was worried and curious where some of their relatives and Crevasse went, before it was determined that Crevasse fled to create her own group to oppose Blizzard and try to take the throne by force one day.
Princet Tidal told their friends that indeed, they were going to challenge their mother. Crescent was worried for her friend, and she started to plan to aid Tide. Her scheming lasted a short period of time, with vast ideas from something bold and bloody to something discrete. ultimately, she settled on casting a spell that would induce a stroke that would painfully kill Queen Cove when Tidal started to loose during the challenge. The suffering would be based on how badly Tide was injured and the emotional and mental pain Cove had inflicted on Tide would be manifested into physical pain as well.
On the day of the challenge, Crescent didn't seem worried at all for Tide, which made Funnelcloud upset and suspicious of Crescent. When Queen Cove struck Tidal with a near fatal blow, the stroke happened and while everyone was panicking, Crescent was laughing. Tide also sensed the use of the animus magic, and both Funnel and Tide spoke behind Crescent's back about this. Both Tide and Funnel distanced themselves from their IceWing friend. Not too long after the challenge, Princess Crescent had an egg with twins. 
Funnelcloud was brimming with rage, while Tidal couldn't find themselves happy for her after it had been concluded by the two that Crescent killed Cove. Funnelcloud called Crescent out publicly, while Tidal had a private talk and confronted Crescent about it. Crescent was very dodgy, and even vented to Reindeer about it, who defended her against Tide and Funnelcloud. Funnel was so mad about this and Reindeer making a public statement against her defending her self-proclaimed ex, Funnelcloud allegedly started a massive wildfire near the SkyWing palace.
A few months after the egg hatched with twins - a dragonet with too much ice and a dragonet with none, Queen Blizzard fell ill. Some of the queens on Pyrrhia visited her, as well as Duskbringer, a NightWing who wanted to warn Blizzard about Crescent because of a prophecy. Blizzard, however, had already let Crescent take on some queenly roles in the queendom.
After around a year after Blizzard fell ill, at the age of 11, Crescent ascended the throne.
|-|Early Queenhood/Decline=
Queen Crescent's decline started before she became queen. However, it was really noticeable once she did become queen. Funnelcloud went as far as trash-talking Crescent behind her back, saying Crevasse should have been queen, and Crescent did not take to this kindly (Although she didn't do much at first). Funnelcloud also immediately started shaming Reindeer for becoming king, which upset Crescent deeply.
Crescent had a coronation ceremony, and a feast, where all royalty from the tribes and other guests were welcome. Funnelcloud was notably excluded specifically, and Tide was the one who broke the news to Funnel about this. All of the queens attended, as well as Harpy, which Funnel saw as a direct attack, and Queen Rose Quartz found suspicious. Duskbringer also attended alongside Queen Half Moon, and Duskbringer wanted to warn Crescent herself about her decline.
Unfortunately, Duskbringer did not get much of a chance to speak with Queen Crescent. Also during the coronation and the festivals that followed, Crescent announced she had another egg, who would be named Timber (who was a future animus). Quing Tidal also spent significant time in the Ice Queendom to help a new queen and a friend, and it was noted that Queen Crescent asked if theoretically, Crescent could borrow their army, which Tide stated they would never.
Tide informed Funnel about this conversation, Which Funnelcloud saw as a red flag. A few weeks later, Duskbringer had visited Crescent again and told them Crevasse had a young dragonet (Which Crescent had mixed feelings about) and that Funnelcloud was aware of the prophecies and visions and about a group that would be known as the "Believer's Battalion". Crescent was furious, but kept an interested and cold demeanor, and when Duskbringer SLIGHTLY elaborated on the current situation, Crescent told Duskbringer to show her.
That new situation was a few of the dragonets in the Battalion having their eggs taken to be raised together. A MudWing egg, a SilkWing egg and a NightWing egg were together, just the three, the NightWing about to hatch, and a new SilkWing egg. Crescent surveyed this and started scheming in her mind - until Funnelcloud showed up - Which was Duskbringer's plan to try to mediate any conversation with them.
At this point, them being in the same room or even speaking to one another was nearly unheard of. However, there was a heated argument and Crescent exploded with rage when Funnelcloud mentioned the prophecy was just about Crescent. In reality, it was mostly about the future Civil War which Duskbringer tried reminding Funnel of. 
Crescent left, cursing that any dragonet of Funnel's be cursed to be a monster who could destroy the world. Crescent also started planning and thinking - Why there was no IceWing in the prophecy, if Funnel was going to be one of the starters of the SkyWing Civil War, and what could potentially happen if there were no IceWings on Pyrrhia. Because Crescent had a plan - The Icy Isles. If anything bad happened, there would be islands in the coldest place on the world for IceWings to thrive secretly.
Despite showering her tribe with animus gifts during her queenhood and late princesshood, Crescent became more unstable and paranoid by the week. Even other queens started to notice this. Until, one day, Crescent asked most of Pyrrhia if she could borrow their armies. All of them declined, and this request that reached the SkyWing queen Rose Quartz. Rose Quartz was nervous about this, and Funnelcloud's rumor didn't help.
One day, Crescent lead her army (and other dragons) which she enhanced with animus magic to the northern part of the Sand Queendom. And she started a brutal battle, annexing the northern half of the Sand Queendom. Other tribes were shocked and sanctioned the Ice Queendom, but it realyl didn't work. It was also discovered by the public that Downwind, the iceless dragon, was an animus, and Crescent gave orders to both Upwind and Downwind to kill any dragon who wasn't on their side. 
Other tribes, and even her own tribe, feared Crescent. Funnelcloud swore to never speak to Crescent again, and to somehow make sure Crescent dies off of the throne.
|-|Civil War=
General Harpy saw this as an opportunity. Queen Rose Quartz had shut down entirely - afraid, paranoid, and sad that Crescent could do this. Harpy lead an uprising that very night against Rose Quartz, causing her and her husband to flee, Princess Rose Gold to be separated from her mother and father, and Funnelcloud to flee to the SeaWing queendom. However, Funnelcloud declared Harpy was not a rightful ruler, as he was a prince, which was met with backlash as King Cliff was Harpy's counter argument to his ineligibility. 
Most of the SkyWing army supported Harpy since he wanted to do stuff for the queendom and he was fierce. Another large chuck supported Funnelcloud, who became much bolder and also wanted to do stuff for the queendom. A very small minority supported Rose Quartz, as Rose Quartz was incompetent and didn't even want to be queen. 
The SeaWings strongly supported Funnelcloud, and provided resources for her. The SandWing tribe also supported Funnel openly as well because of Crescent's actions. Meanwhile, the NightWings and Pantala wanted no part in this conflict. The RainWings, who wanted an opportunity to try and regain power over the NightWings, actually allied with Harpy. The MudWings were wishy-washy about the whole conflict, but many of them who had opinions thought Harpy was the better action.
For the first few years, the only other tribes aside from SkyWings who were involved with battles were the SeaWings and RainWings. Crescent and the IceWings, meanwhile, were opportunistic. They could aid both sides if they wanted... which is exactly what they would do. Sometimes Queen Crescent would greenlight resources to be sent to Harpy, other times she might greenlight ambassadors sent to Funnel's forces on their behalf.
|-|IceWing Exodus=
Over the next few years, Crescent's insanity became worse. She had another dragonet, Polaris, some point over the next few years. One day, when Crescent was over 20, Crevasse returned to the Ice Queendom begging for forgiveness, which Crescent granted (alongside an enchantment to make Crevasse extremely loyal). Crevasse's supporters also returned alongside her. But Crevasse shared news that a group of dragonets called the Believer's Battalion was coming to the Ice Queendom to meet Crescent.
When these dragonets arrived, she saw a few she recognized; A MudWing, SilkWing and NightWing, as well as an IceWing that resembled Crevasse, Princess Rose Gold and a small HiveWing dragonet. In order to get to Crescent, they had allegedly killed many IceWings in their way, with their amazing fighting skills. They told Crescent that they were the Believer's Battalion, who would fight Harpy and Funnelcloud to ensure that Rose Gold got the throne. Crescent, who generally liked the idea, was enraged for whatever reason and enchanted them to teleport to the Queendom of the Sea. 
At this point, though, she was paranoid. What if Funnelcloud was involved with the group? What if they hated Crescent and were plotting against them? They killed those IceWing citizens after all, was she next? So, she enchanted every IceWing and IceWing hybrid to be somewhat aligned with her and to be capable of flying to the antarctic. 
During the flight, Crescent muttered the entire time, constructing the islands of the Icy Isles in extreme detail. It took two weeks for the tribe to arrive, and there were many, many islands, named after current IceWing royalty, nobility and historic IceWing figures. The tribe settled in rather quickly, Crescent had her last two eggs. These dragons would later be named Gibbous and Peppermint after they hatched.
Many dragons loyal to Crescent were also told (telepathically) by Crescent where they went, and if some IceWings were unable to fly when everyone else did, they flew anywhere between one week to a month later, all with the exception of Subzero, the IceWing in the Believer's Battalion. The entire tundra was deserted, and all IceWing structures were gone too. While all queens met up to discuss what to do with the tundra, the IceWings began flourishing. Princess Timber eventually gave the tribe the Gift of Espionage, where every household has a glass sphere that tells them the news of Pyrrhia and Pantala.
Eventually, Prince Downwind gave them the Gift of Huntings, where he vowed to hunt every animus dragon down in the world that weren't IceWings and the powers held within the souls of the hunted animus would return and become more animus IceWings. The energy of the dragons killed would be returned to all IceWings and IceWing hybrids as a whole. However, Downwind was much firm and more faithful towards the ideology that the IceWings had with their animus gifts, and believed he was impure.
|-|Imprisonment=
After the war, Crescent ruled her tribe with an iron talon. She said Timber was the next in line, and only she and Polaris can have heirs. Subzero was eventually forced to come to the Icy Isles as well, and she was treated with a much lower status than her relatives. Crescent furthered dwindled into insanity.
When a SkyWing flew to the antarctic in attempt to find the IceWings while Downwind, Upwind and surprisingly Polaris left on a mission to hunt an animus SeaWing, Polaris and Upwind were attacked. Polaris had near-fatal injuries, and Upwind had fire shot into his mouth which would kill him immediately. However, due to his frostscales, he survived, and Crescent used this as an excuse to further force him to be dependent on her. 
Crescent refused to let anyone heal Upwind completely, because she wanted to use him as an example to show that no other tribe, especially SkyWings, could not be trusted. Crescent was in a tough situation and felt overwhelmed, and she created a long scroll with a complex spell known as the Gift of Legends, which made dragons of other tribe forget about the IceWing tribe and their existence, with exceptions like dragons who were close and/or had extreme memories involving more than one IceWing (This was unintentional, as the spell was made in an overwhelmed rush).
Crescent made Upwind's island in the Icy Isles very cold and wet, with his mansion full of the coldest water, and easy ways to navigate around. There were also parts of nearby islands dedicated to Upwind and made to accommodate his injury, with tunnels connecting them.
Decades go by, and by the time Crescent was 50, a LeafWing, SkyWing twins, a SeaWing arrived, and her grandson Snowglobe betrays her, Funnelcloud and Tidal arrive shortly after, Crescent captures both and nearly kills them herself, they pretty much use the power of love and friendship to stop Crescent's reign of terror. Her granddaughter, Snowdrift, started manipulating an imprisonment spell of hers, and was joined by Downwind, and eventually, Timber, which was very shocking. Funnel and Tide encouraged the spell, and the spell separated Crescent's soul from her body.
The soul was put into a book, and Crescent would be stuck between a state of life and death and could only be freed or become a spirit if Crescent wrote down every single wrongdoing of hers ever, writing apologies and admitting her wrongdoings, and blessing the families she hurt.
|-|Legacy=
All of Crescent's relatives, with the exception of Snowdrift, Snowglobe and Subzero were trapped in gemstones that were locked away in the SeaWing's treasury. Funnelcloud, who was not the queen of the SkyWings, made herself Queen of the IceWings instead. IceWings were given their territory, and only some tribes recognized their borders after the annexation of the northern part of the Sand Queendom. IceWings were constantly shamed and were not allowed their own queen.
Queen Crescent is also seen as an awful and one of the worst queens and leaders throughout history, and her story was a little exaggerated by Funnelcloud and Tidal. With her body and spirit trapped in the Icy Isles which were made to sink, nothing was ever heard about Crescent again. Her influence is very minimal, however Crescentian-Era styles are still found in official buildings that housed the IceWing government, as well as the animus rituals and ceremonies being almost completely forgotten.

==Relationships==
<tabber>
|-|Blizzard=
Crescent and Blizzard, her mother, had an average mother-daughter relationship for the most part. However, their relationship was slightly strained, and Blizzard spent most of her time with Crescent teaching her about the IceWing ways of leading up until her death. 
|-|Crevasse=
Crescent despised her older sister. Crevasse was often abusive towards Crescent and loved tormenting her little sister, and Crescent developed some type of trauma over this. Thankfully, Chrome and Crystal often intervened, and Crevasse's torment slowed down up until Crescent went to Jade Mountain. Crevasse would have complicated and conflicting feelings about Crescent, as shown when she was glad Crescent left for Jade Mountain but was mad that she did not go. Crescent often avoided Crevasse and liked spying on her. When Crevasse asked for forgiveness, it was noted that Crescent enchanted her, and after she did it once, she altered Crevasse entirely until the point she was unlike herself.
|-|Crystal=
Crescent and Crystal were on friendly terms. While Crescent and Crystal didn't see each other as siblings, they saw each other as friends. Crescent was very lenient and trusting towards Crystal, but Crescent believed that she was extremely similar to how Blaze was portrayed. Crescent often avoided Crystal when she could, however Crescent wasn't afraid of Crystal as much as she was afraid of Crevasse. Crystal often had Crescent test her beauty products, and Crescent usually agreed. 
|-|Chrome=
Crescent and Chrome had a strong sibling bond, unlike Crescent and her other siblings. Chrome and Crescent were from the same clutch of eggs, and they were raised together. Chrome hatched as a female and an heir, and when they came out as transgender during the SkyWing war, Crescent was supportive of him. She didn't spend much time with Chrome ever since the SkyWing war, but sometimes hung out with each other. When Crescent created the Icy Isles, she gave Chrome his own island and allowed him to run it. Chrome was one of the most panicked when Crescent was trapped in the Icy Isles which began to sink.
|-|King Reindeer=
Crescent and Reindeer were very close and physically affectionate, which was unusual in Crescent's relationships. The two were in love, and it was described as 'love at first sight'. It is noted that Reindeer often checked in on Crescent, which started to annoy her. She was able to communicate how she felt he was too worried for her, and they sometimes got into brief arguments about this. However, she and Reindeer had a very strong and healthy relationship, and it is noted that every anniversary they would present each other with gifts every year, with a friendly competition on who could give the better gift. Crescent felt genuinely happy around him, and in the end chose him over Funnelcloud. 
|-|Downwind= 
Crescent gave Downwind special treatment. It is obvious that he noticed that Upwind was a favorite, since he was iceless and Upwind has frostscales. However, in his free time, Downwind embraced IceWing tradition. So, when they found out he was an animus, he swore to never use his powers until his gift. Alongside this, Crescent paid even more attention to Downwind, and tried having him train his powers. However, he refused every time. The tradition with IceWing gifting drove a wedge between Crescent and her iceless son's relationship. Downwind eventually grew to dislike her after the annexing of the northern part of the SandWing queendom. Crescent also pushed him to be the one to want to begin his animus hunting career (which he enjoyed but didn't want to admit). At the end of their lives, Downwind, although hesitant, felt it was necessary to help with the spell to imprison his mother. 
|-|Upwind=
Prince Upwind often got special treatment alongside Downwind because of his condition, Frostscales. Both of them had a strained relationship, because Upwind had always questioned Crescent's judgement from a young age. However, Upwind did agree with many of Crescent's progressive ideologies, and was known to be formal. Crescent liked this and took credit for teaching him this. When Upwind got older, he became more independent and free-thinking, and more aware of his frostscales. Crescent despised this, and while she avoided animus magic for a while, she did everything she can to complicate Upwind's situation or try manipulating him to be more dependent. When Crescent was confronted by Tidal and Funnelcloud, who decided to turn her own magic against her, Upwind tried defending Crescent, before he ended up freezing from the inside out due to one of Crescent's dependency spells. Crescent expressed genuine remorse and regret as well, showing they had somewhat of a bond.
|-|Timber=
Crescent was closest to her third dragonet and first daughter, Timber. While Crescent spoke of all her dragonets highly, she spoke of Timber the highest and with the most pride. It is noted that Crescent spent all the time she could with Timber and taught her how to use her animus magic with control after finding out she was an animus. Crescent also manipulated Timber to an extent as well, and Timber has always been extremely loyal. However, she did not approve of some of the things Crescent did but kept her opinions to herself. Crescent often used Timber as her voice piece, and Timber would speak Crescent's words perfectly. Timber was one of the few permitted by Crescent to be allowed to have dragonets. Timber only helped with Crescent's imprisonment spell because she felt bad after learning about the truth of her mother. 
|-|Polaris=
Crescent gave Polaris the middle child treatment even when she was the youngest. However, due to being an heir and an only dragonet, got more attention. Polaris was also a skilled fighter and commanded many parts of the IceWing military. Crescent admired the qualities Polaris had and valued them because they were similar to her father's, and Crescent permitted Polaris saying she was allowed to have dragonets.
|-|Prince Gibbous and Princess Peppermint=
The last two dragonets of Crescent she thought she would raise differently. Both were treated the same, and both were well-rounded at a young age. The two had a strong resemblance to King Reindeer, which Crescent thought was a good quality. Crescent manipulated them the most, although she never found out if any of them were animus dragons. Crescent tried to save them from the dragons who came to the Icy Isles to confront her, although failed. Crescent seemed to have the most sympathy for them, other than Timber, all throughout her motherhood. 
|-|Subzero=
wip
|-|Tidal=
While complicated, the two leaders' friendship started out healthy and simple, as dragonets. Crescent and Funnelcloud helped Tidal become a better dragon later in life though, and the two were once close. Crescent always turned to Tidal during her and Funnelcloud's feuds, and Tidal did their best to be the mediator, much to Crescent's disappointment. Crescent didn't understand Tidal's rage when she completely deserted Pyrrhia and somewhat used Tidal for her own gain. For some reason, due to insanity, Crescent developed a deep grudge against Tidal, and returned her former friend's rage with utter hatred and aggression.
|-|Funnelcloud=
Crescent and Funnelcloud had a super close bond before the SkyWing war. Although the two disagreed on their things, they worked out their arguments and strengthened their bond even further. At one point during the SkyWing war, Funnelcloud believed the two were dating and Crescent saw their relationship as a strong, unbreakable friendship. However, when Crescent had her first egg, it ruined their friendship all together. Crescent was petty and felt bad about herself at the same time. However, in the beginning of their disdain for each other, Crescent did want to make amends. Any chances of friendship were completely severed over a short period of time, and both had a hatred for each other. Crescent went insane and blamed all of her issues on Funnelcloud, and plotted to have her killed. However, she sent Timber to curse one of her eggs out of spite. Crescent's heart was filled with evil intentions and pure nastiness towards Funnelcloud for her later life.
