Shrike is my dragonsona. Please don't edit anything. You can't add categories. No, you can't fix grammar and spelling. Don't edit at all. Unless you're a poweruser doing something absolutely essential, do not do anything to them.
Coding and character are both by me, the background image was taken from Unsplash :3. Don't steal/tamper the code or the character, please? 
On another note, while this page is finished, not a WIP, critique is welcome and appreciated! :D. A harsh to medium harsh level is preferred- I want to know where to improve. Just remember to keep in constructive!
Now for the page- enjoy!
==Appearance==
Shrike is fairly distinguishable within a crowd; he has mid-toned red-silver gradient scales on his legs, wings, head, neck, main body, and some of his tail. He possesses IceWing head and tail spikes, and their wing membranes are silver, all showing IceWing heritage. His underbelly is a paler shade, just barely off-white. The edges of their neck are a shiny mid toned grey, as are the edges of his tail, legs and head. 
He is short, however, they have random growth spurts every few months. They are rather slender, and elegant. His head is narrow like an IceWing, and their wings are large like a SkyWing. 
His eyes are a glossy tangerine orange, and his claws, nose horn, teeth, wing and back spikes are all a shiny pearl white. The inside of their ears, in a contrast to the rest of his red-silver-white-orange color scheme, are a tender pink.
His tongue is a similar shade of pink. 
They can never stay still and at least one part of them always moving around~ a fidgeting claw, a moving talon~ anything, really. He shows many signs of adhd besides this, but hasn't been properly tested.
His scales are rather dusty and dull looking~ his gradients are natural. Shrike doesn't care much for how clean they are, or how neat he appears~ he often looks like they've been flying through the dirty woods for days on end, mainly because he doesn't really care and never bothers to fix it. He wears no jewelry, unless they are forced too, and considers it impractical and annoying. 
His default expression, the one he maintains most of the time, is passive and thoughtful, dreamy and distant. His eyes are often misty and wandering, far off in their remote imagination 
==Personality==
Yes this is an uncannily accurate representation of me IRL why you ask
Your first impression of Shrike would not be exactly friendly and kind. he doesn't think much before speaking, making them harsh, blunt, overcritical, sassy or even rude at some times. As a result of this, he is highly sarcastic and somewhat hypocritical. But to judge him from those traits only would be quite unfair. They have a mingling myriad of traits~ some of which are positive, traits to look up to~ his intelligence and imagination~ and others are flaws (the majority, actually)~ their harshness, sass, and oversensitivity, hotheadedness. Many of his traits contradict each other, come to think about it~ he's a hotheaded introvert, to show as an example of these contradictions.
He's harsh, blunt, sarcastic, overcritical, sassy and rude, as listed above. They never think before doing anything- at least not in his main consciousness. A sharp tongue, hothead demeanor, and a sardonic speech are the three main characteristics of this side~ and it gets them in trouble a lot. 
On the other hand, while he's not exactly gentle or kind- but to call them only rude and sarcastic would be unfair. He is intelligent and subconsciously thinks everything through- although they may never realize it. Shrike is an introvert by nature~ isolating himself, being alone with only him and their imagination are some of his favorite hobbies. He is quite opinionated, however, and when participating in a civil debate, they changes to be almost a different dragon~ thinking on the spot, finding points to back up their answers~ 
Shrike overreacts and is over sensitive, as well, breaking down at tiny things. He has trouble withstanding criticism, and is delicate emotionally. He is sentimental and gets extremely emotionally attached to everything. 
His self-esteem is rather low~ not the esteem of their physical appearance, though. Shrike is a believer in "beauty is in the eye of the beholder", and has never cared much about his own or others' physical appearances. Their self-esteem when it comes to their mental state is awful, though~ he has no confidence whatsoever in himself, and is always expecting the worst results from himself, when in reality they achieve phenomenal grades. 
Along with their terrible self-esteem, he also suffers from nervous breakdowns, paranoia, insomnia, anxiety, and possible depression. Their mental state is, well, an absolute wreck, to be blunt. Shrike is very well aware of all of these, and wants to work on them- thing is, they have no idea where to start 
==Abilities==
Shrike, as an Ice/Sky hybrid, possesses a few powers. He has the fire of a SkyWing, and the serrated claws of an IceWing. They have no resistance to the cold, however, and his fire is significantly less hot then a normal SkyWing, capable only of dealing second degree burns. 
Tribal powers aside, Shrike is an ace student at school, achieving high marks. Their history and language skills are especially sharp. He struggles at art and music, however. They cannot stay focused for long, but he has the gift of being able to figure it out as he goes. 
They are excellent at jumping sports, achieving the highest numbers of their year. He is also fairly proficient at long distance running. They greatly enjoy a select few sports such as those, but he is far from the athletic dragonet in your class. 
==History==
On the afternoon of December 29 four years ago, Shrike hatched 
They were an early bird, the hatching date predicted by doctors being two weeks after when he actually hatched. They stayed in the hatchery until January 1. Then he was brought home. 
Shrike was born to an IceWing father and a SkyWing mother~ his father named Verglas, and his mother Andesine. He's the third and last dragonet, and the only (biologically, at least), female. Their brothers are Ptarmagin, the oldest, and Eider, the middle. The household was traditional and overprotective; Shrike was completely isolated until they turned one, and he headed to school~ he met their classmates and made friends. They enjoyed school more or less, but he still did typical stuff of dragonets his age- play and socialize and all that. 
His life is full of the normal trials and triumphs of young dragonets, and he has their own small problems and worries. They're is just a normal dragonet, really. 
As Shrike grew, his life grew less and less centered around school, although that didn't bring down their grades. He became more attached to his stories and imagination, and drifted away from the real world. 
He has gone to the same old public school for all his school life- it's ingrained in them at this point. He has made many friends; however, as of late, he has been drifting apart from them, speaking with them less and less, as they enter a difficult state in his life, and becomes moody and introverted. At this point the only things in the world that Shrike enjoyed and still does is reading, writing, imagining, and studying. 
Shrike as of now is unhappy in his current state, living day after day. He is isolated from their friends, and doesn't have much to talk to. His stories are fun, but you can't have conversations with them. 
==Relationships==
River ~ positive~ Shrike really likes this dragon- no, he doesn't like her. he absolutely adores her- platonically, of course. River is one of his closest friends, and pretty much a sister. They regard River's negative self talk that she holds grudges all the time, her clinginess, her anger- as lies. Shrike views the dragonet as a sister, closer to him then almost anyone else in his life~ only one or two dragons can compare to how close they are.
Nightshade ~ positive ~ Shrike doesn't know them as well as River, but he genuinely considers them a friend. It always makes his day better when he sees Nightshade- Shrike really likes how the dragon has an infectious happy attitude, and always lifts their mood up. Shrike thinks Nightshade is a happy, infectiously excited dragon, who makes his life better <3
Bay ~ positive ~ like Nightshade is in comparison to River, Shrike doesn't know Bay as well as either Nightshade or River. From what they've seen of Bay, though, they have the capability to become one of Shrike's trusted allies. In Shrike's eyes, Hentz is a kind, though not sweet, dragon he's genuinely glad to know.
Qinter ~ neutral/positive ~ Shrike doesn't know Qinter all that well, but from what he's seen of Qinter, they like Qinter, and wants to know xem better. He considers Qinter an acquaintance, and has rather neutral feelings towards xem, although leaning towards positive
Fall ~ neutral/positive ~ Similar to Qinter, Shrike doesn't know Fall too well, but he's formed an opinion on them nonetheless. He occasionally interacts with them, and finds them a good dragon to be around. They are aiming to know them better, and feels like it would be a good move
Cobaltine ~ positive~ Shrike adores this dragon to the same level as River. They consider River one of his best friends- and a sister, in a way. She can always count on the dragon to talk to and make his day better. He does his best to comfort Cobaltine when she's feeling down, and always hopes for her wellbeing. She's one of the only dragons that is equal to how much they care about River.
Pillow ~ neutral/positive~ Shrike doesn't know Pillow well- they've only had polite interactions a few times. Shrike does like what he's seen of them, and hopes to get to know her better.
Lionfish ~ positive ~ Shrike adores Lionfish- he's had nothing but good experiences with the funny, witty dragon, and he always looks forward to seeing them. He admires Lionfish's knack for putting a smile on everyone's face with a funny joke, the out of context comments that make Shrike laugh, and overall being too nice and funny for the world to hold.
