Nymph (Angel)

WIP, Owned by Angel Of Madness 001
== Description ==
Nymph has a whip-thin frame with a slim body to match, but has a rounded form, with most points of his body being softened into smooth ends. He doesn't strongly seem to take after either parent tribe, having a SeaWing's face and tail with a HiveWing's body and wings, while his legs fall somewhere in-between the two. Nymph does have the signature HiveWing spike on top of his head, as well as one on the end of his snout, but otherwise has all the facial features of a SeaWing (minus a few glow scales near the end of his face). He also has an additional pair of eyes just below his first. Nymph has webbing along his back instead of spines, and an (almost) full set of glow scales. Along his tail, they differ from traditional patterns, rendering them useless for aquatic.
Their scales are a light turquoise, contrasted by a much more teal color along their crest and back. Their horns, as well as the false horns on their face, are deep teal, while the spines between their back webbing are only slightly lighter. Their underbelly is a muted sage green. Nymph's glowing scales are a slightly blue off-white, and their wings are mostly clear with a hint of the same off-white color. Both pairs of their eyes are deep blue, while their ears are a drained, pale pink. Nymph also has some darker stripes and swirls near their ears and along their neck.
== Personality ==
Nymph is best described as a true neutral kind of dragon. He doesn't have any strong opinions outwardly, and prefers to play the game with his cards hidden and close to his chest. Nothing seems to truly bother the hybrid, insults and compliments alike rolling off his shoulders like water. He also seems a bit bland at a glance, not great at showing emotions or feelings the same way he can't seem to understand dragons having such an easy time in life. He's somewhat introverted, and while he has close relations with his friends and family, even spending time with them can be exhausting.
== History ==
-Hatched on Pantala with both parents
-They took very good care of him
-Somehow came out of childhood without major trauma
-Did have a school bully but it didn't last long
-Got very into politics as a young adult (bad idea, Nymphie)
-After spending some brief time in the Leaf-Silk Council (despite being neither tribe, they allowed him because the HiveWings wouldn't take a 'dirty hybrid'), time after time, Nymph found himself constantly being accused of being on the 'wrong side' of the argument
-The last straw was when he was in favor of a bill that would lessen tensions between the Leaf-Silk Kingdom and the HiveWings, with his opponents claiming he was a biased vote and shouldn't be counted.
-Soon after, Nymph saw just how much of it was petty bickering, and resigned from his place on the council only weeks later. His time on the council, however, changed him, and he refused to take sides anymore.
-He only broke this one time, years later, when his parents were divorcing and fighting over his younger brother, Skimmer. Since he wanted the best for his sibling, Nymph stepped in to fight for his mom, which led to the same accusations of being on the wrong side all over again.
-After that, Nymph no longer relies on his own judgement for big decisions like that, choosing instead a way that he hopes no dragons can fuss over: The pure chance of a lucky coin. 
-To make ends meet, he took up a job as a delivery dragon, before eventually rising to a messenger and deciding this was something he was content to do in life.
== Relations ==
(+) indicates that the relationship is positive. (-) indicates that the relationship is negative. No symbol indicates that the relationship is neutral.
=== Silverfish (+) ===
Silverfish is an older female HiveWing and the former partner of Mollusk. She is Nymph and Skimmer's mother, and is generally a well-meaning, if a touch harsh, dragon. Nymph loved her, especially in their youth, because she was the more reliable and calm parent. If something happened that was their fault, while Silver would be upset, she would be more concerned for her dragonets' safety before chewing them out. In his adulthood, Nymph still often visits Silverfish and their younger sibling, Skimmer. They sometimes bump into them casually, since they also live in Jewel Hive.
=== Mollusk (+) ===
Mollusk in an older male SeaWing and the former partner of Silverfish. He is Nymph and Skimmer's father, though he seemed to take little care in the rearing of his dragonets. Nymph found his father admirable, since he was the wild and cool parent who said yes to things his mate would never allow. Mollusk also had a reputation for his temper, though, which quickly flared up, especially when Silver wouldn't immediately punish bad behavior. Despite this, Nymph still loves his dad and visits him when he can. Mollusk is less fond of Nymph after he took his mother's side in the divorce, however.
=== Skimmer ===
Skimmer is a male Hive-Sea dragonet, and is Nymph's younger brother. Skimmer seems completely adoring of Nymph, and tries to be just like them. Nymph takes note of this and tries to be a good role model for their sibling, but knows they're not the best. Nymph sometimes feels overwhelmed by their brother's admiration and devotion, and wishes they could spend their life by his side to teach him that no dragon is perfect and even Nymph has their ugly sides. Most of all, Nymph just wants to be a good sibling and care for their brother the way their mother cares for him.
=== Sasakia ===
Sasakia is an adult female SilkWing. She is one of the two dragons Nymph is roommates with. Sasakia is known for her dramatics and insistence that one day, she'll be something bit to shine and sparkle in the sky like the stars. Nymph doubts this, and while he finds her drama queen/diva nature apalling and even infuriating at times, he's still glad that she's a dragon he can call his roommate. She's considerate most of the time, and does pull her weight in their apartment. He and Sasakia often chat briefly, since their schedules rarely line up, but the biggest role she plays in his life (other than helping pay rent) is that every night, she often has some new dinner waiting for him and Noctu.
=== Noctu (+) ===
Noctu is an adult male Silk-Night-Hive tribrid. He is one of the two dragons Nymph is roomates with. Noctu is more introverted than even Nymph, and took quite a long time to even come out of his room when Nymph or Sasakia was home. Despite his sleep schedule being the opposite of Nymph's, they find Noctu to be great conversation and a charming fellow nonetheless. He is passionate about several topics, and particularly likes to focus on the history of Pantala. Nymph also admires the little fellow's courage and bravery, coming from an odd couple and a broken home to make his name here. Nymph and Notcu sometimes talk long into the night about nothing, chatting away as if the world was frozen in time.
=== Izula ===
Izula is an adult female HiveWing. She and Nymph went to school together as dragonets, and she was known to push him around and pick on him. Nymph was never bothered by the attention, only seeing it as a mild distraction at best, and with the close of their schooling together, Izula gave up, failing to get any meaningful reactions out of him. While this would have left Izula as a pest in his memory, Nymph eventually ran into her again as an adult, where she was a lot friendlier and didn't seem to remember ever being such a bully to the hybrid. She works at a shop Nymph frequents, and always seems to find a reason to pass him by for a friendly chat. 
=== Maximus ===
Maximus is an adolescent male SeaWing prince. When making deliveries (whether it be parcels or messages) to the Sea Kingdom, Maximus was sometimes the dragon sent to greet them and take the delivery due to Nymph's lack of gills. He considers themselves an acquaintance with the prince and sometimes stops to chat with the fellow when making Jade Mountain trips. Maximus' presence also sways Nymph to give the school money, gifts, or sometimes volunteer to help out where needed, as he wants to help the bright mind they saw flourish.
== Trivia ==
-The patterns along Nymph's tail intentionally resemble symbols from Rain World.
-Nymph is like Sunny: A walking argument for why hybrids can be bad. He lacks any natural powers of either tribe, even the most basic ones such as webbed talons or gills.
