Seatide

Seatide is a female SeaWing who spends time roaming the dessert, looking to sell her various goods, which are items gathered from the sea. She isn’t alone however, and runs an entire business, although she still participates on the “front lines” rather than sitting behind in a comfortable office filing paperwork. She has grown used to and is quite comfortable with the scorching desert heat.

Further reading: Seatide’s Traveling Diaries
Seatide was born in 5002 A.S (this year can vary depending on the circumstance) in a small sea poor village in the outskirts of the Sea Kingdom known as Brine. It was located on an island. She was born to Sunfish an Seasalt. She had four siblings, an older brother and sister, known as Precipitation, and Tidalwave and two younger siblings, known as Breeze and Deep.
As stated, she lived in a poor village, and like everyone else, she and her family lived in constant poverty. Her father worked a gruesome construction job on the mainland, and her mother was disabled; she was born without her back left leg. Her and her siblings (apart from her brother) were too young to work the only available jobs, most of which were dangerous and labor intensive. The eldest sibling (her older brother) stayed home to help out around. 
They lived in a small ramshackle hut made of bamboo, mud, leaves and rope. It wasn’t the most comfortable of spaces, but it was something. Her and her family’s diet consisted mainly of eel, and clams, with fish, namely sardines here and there. They also harvested wild bananas, coconuts and small berries. Many times, they would go underneath the waves to pick seaweed, kelp and algae, which made up a substantial part of their (and the villages) diet.
Most of her time was spent wandering and exploring with her siblings, and sometimes her neighbor’s dragonets. They would spend most of their days picking and catching food. During her free time, Seatide would play with the others, or by herself. Life was rough, and they didn’t have access to much, but all in all, she came through.
There was a larger town nearby. When Seatide turned 3, she, along with two siblings and other dragonets would take some locally produced items from their village and sell the at the market place. It wasn’t the safest of fares, and as a result, they all usually traveled in a caravan or caravan style, for protection and defense against wild animals or thieves and bandits.
But alas, her semi-rough life would take a turn for a the worst. She grew up during the later and closing states of the warm< bit that wouldn’t prevent her family from being affected. During one of the last drafts, her father would be conscripted. It was a sad moment, but it only got worse as her father would die during a particularly bloody battle.
Once the war had ended, with their only working dragon gone, her mother would try to work, but being disabled, would have a lot of trouble. So the eldest brother went instead. But he would tragically be killed in a major accident, when the structure he was working on collapsed; he was brutally crushed.
 After this event, their mother got ill. Even so, she worked. She only learned a fraction karats a day. Seatide, having grown depressed and disillusioned decided to… run away…
