Pupfish “Ophiuchus” Dryclaw
I know exactly what I want and who I want to beI know exactly why I walk and talk like a machineI'm now becoming my own self-fulfilled prophecyOh! Oh, no! Oh, no! Oh, no, oh!
One track mind, one track heartIf I fail, I'll fall apartMaybe it is all a testCause I feel like I'm the worstSo I always act like I'm the best

Personality
Trait: Arrogant
Ophiuchus oozes confidence to the point of arrogance. He knows that he's incredibly skilled at healing, and he won't let anyone forget it. Although, due to his hard work and due diligence, he's probably earned a bit of arrogance.
Trait: Driven
The hybrid has a big goal: to be the greatest healer in Pyrrhia. He's only 18 HY old, still in his youth, but is making steady progress to becoming one of the most skilled doctors alive. He's worked hard ever since he left the Summer Palace, and he is determined to see his goal through.
Trait: Ostracized
Ever since he was a dragonet, Ophiuchus (then Pupfish) never fit in with his parents' tribes. It always felt like he had a talon in two worlds, but was unable to fully cross over into one or the other. Because of his incompatible breeding, he was teased and left out by SeaWing dragonets due to the fact he can't breathe or play underwater. Ophiuchus is lonely and the gaping hole of loneliness hasn't been filled, ever.
Trait: Tsundere
Due to his upbringing and lack of stability, Ophiuchus appears prickly and mean on the outside as a defense mechanism. After the Siege of the Summer Palace, the first time his heart truly broke, he has kept his feelings close to his heart. He will act abrasive and aloof in order to not form deep, meaningful connections because in the end, they will leave and that gaping hole in his heart will only grow.

Skillset
Agility & Speed
While he has many flaws due to his heritage, Ophiuchus is at least agile and fast because of his small, lithe size. He knows how to read the wind patterns and use them to his advantage to quickly escape a situation if necessary.
Desert Survival
Being part SandWing, of which most of his genes seem to come from, Ophiuchus is quite well-equipped to surviving in the desert. He can go for days without food, his scales function well to keep him safe from sandstorms and overheating, and he can eat all sorts of interesting desert prey. Unfortunately, being part SeaWing, he is susceptible to getting parched quickly.
Night Vision
Being part SeaWing, Ophiuchus is able to see in the dark, which is quite helpful since he does a lot of his traveling during the evening or at night (especially in the desert).
Skilled Healing Practices
Ophiuchus became a healing apprentice to many dragons throughout his life: a SandWing taught him about desert healing and poisons/antidotes, a RainWing taught him about the wide variety of plants in the rainforest, etc. He possesses a great amount of medical knowledge from all over Pyrrhia, making him a skilled traveling medic.
Weaknesses
Due to being an incompatible mix of water and desert, two opposing forces in Pyrrhia, Ophiuchus is a bit weaker and more vulnerable than pureblooded dragons. He has no SandWing barb on the end of his tail for protection, he cannot breathe fire, and he is unable to breathe underwater either. He has no photophores, so he cannot speak Aquatic, and his swimming skills could be greatly improved...but he hasn't spent much time in the Sea Kingdom since he was a dragonet.

Backstory
Ophiuchus was originally born as Pupfish at the Summer Palace during the SandWing War of Succession. His mother, Waterlily, was a beautiful SeaWing assistant to Queen Coral and King Gill, while his father was one of Blister's soldiers. The two met when Coral and Blister were negotiating allyship, and he had returned with Blister during her visits to the Summer Palace frequently.
His father, Torrid, fell victim to the beauty and charm of Waterlily, especially as she scurried around on her queen's orders, acting as a servant. They started talking one evening after all the other visiting SandWings slept, and romance started flickering between the two. 
Waterlily ended up hatching two eggs at the Summer Palace when the SandWings were not present, and they didn't come visit again for a few months after that. Pupfish was the only egg that hatched; his sister never cracked her shell. Waterlily was devastated at the loss and became incredibly protective over her remaining dragonet. Torrid didn't get to meet his son until Blister and her small group of soldiers came back to the palace to negotiate and strategize with Queen Coral. The SandWing managed to slip away and visit his SeaWing mate, finally seeing his son for the first time.
While Torrid was fighting in the war, Pupfish was raised at the Summer Palace by his mother. The dragonet hadn't seen his father since their initial meeting, and Waterlily expressed how much she missed him. By the time the Dragonets of Destiny came to see Coral, the Pupfish was young adult, only a few years older than the Dragonets themselves.
