Pennant

== appearance ==
pennant is of an average height for her tribe, larger dragons are capable of towering over her. a fighter out of practice, since her service in the war, her sturdy frame as lessened In quantity. she still possesses a good amount of strength in her arms, shoulders, and back that can help weaker dragons with certain labors. she has developed a slight round belly over time of eating sweet pastries.
pennant's head is broad with long horns, a thick neck, long tail, and sharp thick claws, perfect for digging in her garden. her armored scales are thick with a few scars, crooked and pink in the flesh, a reminder of the wounds she acquired in the war. one might see them as proud battle wounds but not for her. they only serve to remind her of the loss and pain war gave her. why hide them? they'll still be there in the flesh.
her top scales are a slightly dark brown with orange coloring her midscales. the little scales that line her neck and tail are a chestnut color and her underbelly is a tannish color. her horns and claws are dark brown with eyes the color of walnuts. the membranes on her wings are an orange-yellow with brown on them.
==personality==
pennant is a caring and amiable mudwing, one can count on her to be there for them. it's what any good-hearted dragon would do, she believes. being the bigwings in her family, pennant takes the role of leader although her unsibs see her more as a mother, loving and nurturing. she is responsible to attend to her duties and pledges to protect her family as long as she lives, coming from a more worried side of her forged from memories of war. 
a retired soldier, pennant became a counselor wanting to help others achieve understanding, to support them, and help them find their goals in life. she wants to heal the wounds of her patients, listening attentively to their concerns and giving advice that can help them. she believes she has a connection to her patients, having similar experiences from numerous battles and having had once suffered from losses. she is composed when it comes to her job, she doesn't get upset when frustration gets to her patients and results in small outbursts. yes, she gets hurt a bit by it but she calmly coaxes them to relax again. that had been her, years ago in the battlefield. a frustrated and torn young soldier, who had felt lost and afraid to lose more of her family.
pennant values living in a future where it's happier, wanting a meaningful life, and making the world a better place. she is idealistic, following through her ideas and being able to solve problems with little to no difficulty. she values peace, believing that with hard work and determination from everyone can end unneccessary violence. she is willing to give to others and stands up for what she believes in, defending those that she loves. 
though pennant is a warm and sincere individual, she is also very private. she can seem quiet at times and distant, closing herself off from socializing which puzzles her family and friends. pennant often struggles back and forth with her feelings of being always there for everyone and feeling like alienating herself at the same time. of course she deeply loves her family and friends, but often needs alone time. she likes to read poetry during this time, finding it relaxing and comforting. 
pennant deals with struggling to believe in herself. she often overthinks and sees the worst in herself, which results in her pushing herself too hard. she often gets stuck with the main question, how can i change to make myself be better? she dislikes conflict, usually intervening to stop it even if it's small. she believes that conflict is only harmful and doesn't give out a solution to a problem.
she dislikes being pitied on, a small frown often settles on her forehead when dragons glance at her missing talon and blurt out mumbo jumbo. knowing that she could've been in far worse condition, she strives to prove to be respected. 
== history ==
she was born somewhere around the diamond spray delta so she wasn't very rich in terms of wealth. in her youth, she was slender and obtained muscle from training over the years (think of her having a body like korra). as a bigwings, it was a bit difficult for her, not enjoying much of her childhood since she was born in the time of war, and had to learn to take care of herself and her siblings (this stemmed into self-doubt. whether she was doing a good job being a leader or not.) 
soon she and her siblings were thrust into war. one by one, her siblings were struck down until one sibling remained, auburn, who was the smallest of the group. sometime she adopted bogbean, who had been the only one left of his troop, and leatherleaf and redwood, two remaining siblings. 
after the war, she became a counselor to help others out. i'm debating whether or not to make her stay in the mud kingdom or move.
