Wingbeat

== Appearance ==
Wingbeat has a long, muscular frame from years of flying. Her wings in particular are especially strong, and she has a medium length tail and short legs, helping her to balance well while flying.
Her scales are a light orange-yellow, somewhat like the color of a peach. Of course, Wingbeat didn't know what a peach was for a long time, as they don't grow in the mountains. It was only when she made her first trip to the rainforest that she was compared to a peach, and now that's all any RainWing she meets calls her. Their scales are also flecked with darker oranger. 
They have a long snout, and big, somewhat buggish looking eyes. They allow them to see in all directions, so they hardly ever run into things. However, they also look kind of weird, and they are self-concious about them. 
They have one lone blue scale on their face, possibly from some unknown SeaWing or IceWing heritage. They were teased a lot about it as a dragonet, and still feel very self-concious about it, going to extreme lengths to cover it up. 
Their wings are large, but not too large, and are perfectly set up for flying, even more so then most SkyWing wings. They are also very flexible, because they often like catching wind currents while flying, despite the fact that SkyWings are one of the only tribes that doesn't need to rely on wind currents to fly any sizable distance. 
== Personality ==
Wingbeat has a lot of different interests, but hates to do one thing for too long, as it makes her feel stifled. She resents this about herself, as she feels it makes her a failure because she can't settle on any one job, but she doesn't know how to fix it. 
She's a kind dragon, and doesn't like seeing others in pain. Sometimes she'll just fly away, and breathe in the thin mountain air until she can forget about all the dragons suffering in her very own kingdom.
She wants to help others, but often doesn't know how, and tends to run away from her problems instead of dealing with them. This is really just a symptom of her main flaw, which is an inability to look beyond short term happiness into long term consequences. 
She is very self concious about the way she looks, and often second-guesses herself, and wonders if others are judging her for her choices or appearance. Usually, they aren't even paying any attention to her, but she feels like they are. She usually walks around with her shoulders hunched, trying to make herself appear smaller then she is. 
She's extroverted, and needs to be around others, but also very shy, and worries constantly about saying the wrong thing, so much so that she'll often avoid social situation, and in doing so, the social interaction that she desperately needs, just to avoid the awkwardness. 
== Relationships ==
=== Scorch ===
Scorch is one of her fathers, and a kinder dragon then his rather dangerous sounding name would suggest. He was once a solder, but never really felt like it was the path for him, and left it to take care of Wingbeat. Wingbeat gets angry at him sometimes, particularly when she's feeling insecure and wonders if she was just an excuse for him, an easy out of the military. Once she calms down though, she realizes that he truly does love her. He's very accepting, and has never judged her for her inability to pick one path in life.
=== Fireball ===
Fireball and Scorch met as soldiers in the barracks, but while Schorch quickly realized the military life wasn't for him, Fireball embraced the life of a guard. He loves fighting and training to protect his queen, although he does try to get guarding assignments close to home so that he can be near Wingbeat. They aren't as close to him as they are with Scorcj, but they are still pretty close, and they trained with him for a while before giving up on the soldier path. He tries to be understanding, but wishes that she would settle down and pick one job, and is trying to help her find one she likes.
=== Snowcap ===
Snowcap is a dragon that Wingbeat made friends with during their last year of school. She was incredibly talented at theater, but had trouble with classes, and so Wingbeat became her tutor. They were great friends for that year, and Snowcap even got them a side role in a play. They haven't been as close friends with her now that school is over, but they still try to keep in touch, and Wingbeat often attends her plays.
=== Burgundy ===
Burgundy was someone Wingbeat met after school. He also didn't know what he wanted to do with his life, so in him, Wingbeat found a kindred spirit. They tried out lots of different thing together, and had much more fun doing it then they would have alone. Burgundy was as grateful to have a friend as they were, because he had never really had many good friends before, due to his loner tendencies and a rare scales condition he had that caused his scales to molt and regrow. But eventually, he started a jewerly shop and made jewerly out of his shed scales, and Wingbeat had to continue on their own again.
=== Alpine ===
Alpine has been Wingbeat's best and truest friend since childhood, and they often rely on them when they are worried or stressed for comfort. They live on the same mountain as Alpine, so if they ever want to see her, it's only a short flight away. She is very caring and empathetic, and begame a counseler for all the dragons who were traumatized during the war. She helps Wingbeat, and when she's exhausted from all the awful things in the world, Winbeat helps her. Wingbeat changes often, but they would never want to change so much that they would lose this friendship.
=== Agate ===
Wingbeat hasn't seen Agate in years, but they still shiver at the name. Agate was cruel to them in school, teasing them about all their choices, and being responsible for much of their lack of self-confidence now. They don't hold a grudge exactly, but they are scared of Agate, and hope that they never see her again.
== History ==
Wingbeat was always a fickle dragon, changing moods as fast as the wind. She loved running around, and would join and quit clubs at school every semester. Once she started running out of clubs, she would just make her own. Alpine was her friend always, but she often would lose friends because she would forget about plans she'd made, or she'd stop liking whatever common interest they had shared.
She quickly gained a reputation as the dragon that couldn't settle, and although this had never bothered her before, she began to become very aware and upset by it. She started to become quite self concious about this and many other aspects of herself, including the blue scale on her face that she was teased about. She tried to fit in at school as best she could, and danced alone in her room.
When school ended, she tried to find something she was good at, but everything she tried was fun at first and boring long-term, and she seemed to be medicore at everything she tried. As of now, she's just switching from job to job, and dancing and flying in loop-de-loops when no one can see her. 
== Trivia ==
* Her favorite food is chocolate cake, which she had in the rainforest.
