Quicksand (TooMany HybridOCs)

Quicksand is male SandWing-NightWing hybrid currently attending Jade Mountain Academy. He is the son of Sunny, the founder of Jade Mountain Academy and former Dragonet of Destiny, and Shrew, Jade Mountain's math teacher. He is a prince to the current SandWing Royal family due to his grandmother being Queen Thorn.
== Appearance ==
Quicksand might be able to pass for a normal SandWing at first glance, but he does have some subtle NightWing features. He has golden-brown scales, a combination of Sunny's pale gold and Shrew's dark beige. Despite being a dragonet, he is already almost the size of Sunny, meaning he will likely grow to be the size of a regular dragon. He has a mainly SandWing build, but lacks a tail barb, similar to his mother, along with her green eyes. Despite having a SandWing scale pattern, he has teardrop-shaped scales running down his sides like the NightWing scale pattern, although they are gold as opposed to the typical NightWing silver. He has a gold underbelly and sail with brown wings and brown accents on his neck, tail, spine and legs with dark brown SandWing horns.
== Biography ==
=== Pre-series ===
It all started when Quicksand's father, a bookish SandWing named Shrew, became the mathematics teacher at Jade Mountain Academy. He had jumped at this opportunity as he was looking for a place to settle down after drifting around Pyhrria for the past few years. Here, he met Sunny, the school's founder and the former SandWing Dragonet of Destiny. Shrew reminded Sunny a lot of Starflight, which drew her to him immediately. She found him to be a genuine and smart dragon, unlike the typical stereotype of SandWings being thuggish and unintelligent. Eventually, Sunny confessed her feelings to Shrew, which took him by surprise. However he accepted them, as he had grown interested in her as well. Overtime, as the Academy expanded into the mountain and the school became more popular, Shrew and Sunny eventually became formerly married can committed to each other. Afterward they had Quicksand's egg and, although they had some worries, were ultimately excited to become parents despite their busy lives. When Quicksand hatched they were elated and very happy, even if their son did not have the SandWing's natural weapon.
== Relationships ==
=== Sunny ===
Sunny is Quicksand's mother and she loved and cares for him deeply. Quicksand looks up to her and her efforts to make Pyhrria and Pantala better places and not letting her disadvantages, like her size and lack of a tail barb, stop her from doing anything. Despite this, he does feel a bit inadequate when standing next to her, as he wants to be known for more than just being "Sunny's son". However, he does not let this stop him from loving his mother and he does not show any kind of resentment toward her. 
== Trivia ==
* Quicksand's name is a reference to the fact that Tui T. Sutherland was going to give said name to the SandWing Dragonet of Destiny, but changed it to "Sunny" as the author felt it was more fitting when her character traits came together.
