Bristlecone

Disclaimer: This oc belongs to LorikeetRainWing only; I also go by Stormwisps and Pyefeather on social medias. I'm resurfacing because I found out a literal knockoff stolen Bristlecone was posted here earlier, with her stolen design and other details. I am making this page to try to deter more theft. DO NOT USE OR COPY HER ART, DESIGN, HISTORY, ETC. THANKS. 
==Background/Description==
Bristlecone is an IceWing/LeafWing hybrid. She has pale silver-white, diamond-shaped scales with photosynthetic, dark gray-green going down the crown of her head and back, all the way down her tail, which is a burst of silver IceWing spikes. Bristlecone has scattered leaf-green and teal scales around her body, and pine needle patterns on her gray wings. Her eyes are amber and her horns are dark gray, curved like a LeafWing's. She has the physique of a leafy IceWing, with an IceWing's narrow face, slender limbs, and jagged wings. Her LeafWing traits are in her photosynthetic green scales, flexible leafy crest, and amber eyes. Bristlecone is average height for an IceWing (tall for a LeafWing) but very skinny. She lacks much muscle due to her quick metabolism. She mostly eats meat but enjoys fruit as well.
Bristlecone was born to an IceWing politician and a LeafWing ambassador visiting Pyrrhia, who have long since separated. She grew up in the Ice Kingdom.
== Personality ==
Bristlecone is fierce and kind of a social recluse. Finding socializing painful, she is usually to be seen at the edge of a crowd or lurking in a corner, unwilling to engage. She gets angry easily and can be very salty. She also often complains about being cold due to lacking IceWing antifreeze, but also containing IceWing cold scales and frostbreath -- what a sad combination. She can be seen wearing a scarf sometimes to at least keep her neck warm. Bristlecone also sees no issue with violence, and will irritate aggressive dragons without considering the consequences.
On the flip side, Bristlecone has a couple friends who she is happy with. She has a strange sense of humor and can be very awkward around others, but she also genuinely enjoys interaction if it is with select, trusted dragons. Even then, she will need to have some alone time to recharge her energy afterward.
Bristlecone can be considered a morally gray character in the sense that she doesn't only cause conflict with "bad" dragons. She has several pet peeves, one of them being arrogant, self-righteous dragons. Highly impatient and volatile, characters like these can push her over the limit.
== Family ==
Mother -- Lichen -- an IceWing politician who never wanted a daughter. At the same time, she didn't want any IceWing child to grow up in that hideous jungle, so she refused to let Bristlecone's father take her. Lichen raised Bristlecone with neglect, resulting in a hateful tension between the two.
Father -- Rhubarb -- a LeafWing ambassador who has since resigned from his position. He leads a peaceful life in the Hives with his new HiveWing wife and other hybrid children. Rhubarb met Bristlecone when she visited Pantala as a teenager, and the two are on good terms, although aren't really in touch.
Cycad, Spicebush, and Hoverfly -- Bristlecone's half-siblings, Leaf/Hive hybrids. She is not in touch with them, but like with her father, they are on good terms with each other.
