Sunblessed

__NOTOC__ __NOEDITSECTION__
 
:   The Sun portends good fortune, happiness, joy and harmony. It represents the universe coming together and agreeing with your path and aiding forward movement into something greater.
Sunblessed, also referred to as Sunny or Bliss, is a female NightWing, and the wife of Baphomet. She is the co-owner of the largest hospital in Berlingen.
== Appearance ==
When you look at her in the darkness, looking at her colouration Sunny looks almost like any other NightWing with one exception: yellowish white scales on her chest that form a ring shaped pattern. It's only under sunlight when dragons get to see that her scales aren't simply black, but rather pinkish and opalescent, reflecting all sorts of colours, giving the scales an extraordinary sheen. Unfolding her wings, you get to witness a colourful spectacle, not found in any other NightWing. She has no star pattern underneath, but in their stead there are special scales that display a rainbow pattern similar to that of some obsidian gems. Even her eyes don't seem to be just black, but rather a variety of colours that change depending on external light sources (or the lack thereof). Her sclera is not black, but a darker pink colour. 
Besides her beautiful scales, Sunny is also blessed with a towering figure and powerful forelegs, however tail and hindlegs got the short end of the stick, being thin, kind of like sticks themselves. The tail is pretty long, much longer than in common NightWings, and very flexible. At its tip, Sunny attached a blade, used to slice up enemies. Sunblessed has a long flat snout much like a crocodile's, including teeth poking out when the mouth is shut. Golden star-shaped scales adorn the sides of her body, stopping around where her tail starts. The tips of her claws and horns are white.
The dragon dislikes wearing a lot of unnecessary accessories, carrying the minimum of things on her such as the bag with medical utensils around her belly, her wedding bracelets around the right horn and a golden bracelet on the right hind leg, gifted to her by her husband. She often wears a white bird-like mask and a feathered coat as part of her "work attire".
== Personality ==
Given the environment Sunny grew up in, the importance of life and relationships has been instilled in her since early on, and stuck with her ever since. Even if her values shifted a little, she still believes that life is a gift that shouldn't just be wasted, which is why she would try her best to save a stranger with whatever medicine allows her. However, while she would readily help a stranger, the same couldn't really be said about people she knows, particularly when she doesn't like them. Of course, she would save her friends and family, but if it's somebody she doesn't like she will see them and their value as "less".
Based on how she behaves around others, nobody would suspect Sunny to be a spiteful individual or anything of that sort. She seems very enthusiastic and confident, has a bright aura, and is willing to cooperate with anybody, even if that dragon isn't particularly 'popular' with everybody else. Her energetic and social nature allowed her to build up many relationships, and made her a favourite among patients, however just as she has friends and fans, there are plenty of people who dislike her, often out of jealousy or because they dislike her sickingly high energy. Sunny doesn't let those people pull her down though. There are more important things to focus on, such as her work.
***
Throughout her life she had always been that way. But as time passes, she grows more and more stressed from everything. Bliss doesn't hate her job, but her strong opposition to failure of any capacity, makes her overwork, and the judging eyes that stare at her in envy and spite, only add to the pressure. Throughout this, Bliss tries to still appear as the peppy girl everybody knows. 
While throughout her life people had been jealous of Bliss' skill, intelligence and popularity, she herself was not free of this ugly feeling. There were many things she couldn't do, and due to expectations from others, she had always felt like she was in a cage, envious of those who were 'free'. Bliss had always been somebody who enjoyed some risk and danger, but was the risk worth it if she could lose her reputation? Another freedom she didn't have. 
As time passed the things she wished for grew. A happy marriage. Her spouses' love. A dragonet. Because of work she just couldn't get any of those. On one hand, it would be so easy to obtain those things if she just gave something up, but on the other hand, Bliss was too prideful and ambitious to let go of what she already obtained. Maybe her detachment from her love life is just a sign to focus more on love. Or maybe that she should move on to a new love, however that is something she could never acknowledge.
== Abilities ==
* Firebreath: She can breathe golden flames. Others attribute the colour to the sun's influence.
* Nightvision: Sunny has nightvision as others of her kind, but compared to them, hers is not that good, and she prefers daylight.
* Medicine: Her medical knowledge is vast. Sunny has studied medicine in a university, and been working in the field for many years. But even if she learned a lot, she knows that she can learn even more.
* Socializing: Her high empathy often comes to play when she is talking to others, especially her patients. She understands people well, which allows her to adjust to others, and gives her some idea of how to interact with others and what might be their problem. 
== Story ==
The moon is an important staple of NightWing culture. After all it is what grants some of their kind incredible powers, it is their lightsource in the night and it is believed that the moon holds incredible powers that help NightWing dragonets to hatch. That's how they explain that most dragonets hatch during the night. The NightWings see it as their guide and protector. 
However, that doesn't mean the sun holds no role in the NightWing religion, and sometimes dragonets do hatch during the day. This happened to Sunblessed, who was born into a pretty religious family. Out of their previous two dragonets, Sunblessed was the first and would be the last child to hatch under sunlight. It was seen as an omen. A blessing by the sun deity. 
Her parents had everything to afford their daughter a great education. At school she was somewhat of a small celebrity due to her intelligence and uplifting personality. Among her community she was well-known as the "dragonet blessed under Sonn, the lord of the sun". With how many fans she had, it was not unexpected that she started to amass a group of haters, jealous dragons, who wished to be as good as her. 
It's not like her popularity was purely out of luck or the circumstances of her hatching. Sunny was somebody who put hard work into succeeding, and never got too prideful with her accomplishments. Instead she offered help to others, allowing them a possibility to learn and succeed as well.
After finishing regular school, Sunny decided to continue studying in the academia in a field that would help others: medicine. Her parents had her back, hoping for the best career for their daughter - that is one that makes her happy. Sunny's parents never had preferred her over the other dragonets nor did they treat her particularly better. If anything, they gave the youngest the most attention, simply because they were the youngest, not yet an adult. Sunny didn't judge her parents for that, because she knew they still loved her.
Not true. She did feel some jealousy. Just a bit. Her friends allowed her to forget it.
When the dragons around her started to date and get boy- and girlfriends, Bliss also wanted that.
