Ice

== Introduction ==
Okay, so basically the idea behind this is that all orphaned eggs or orphaned dragonets that are too young to tell you their name are named Ice and sent to an orphanage. 
At the orphanage, they differentiate themselves using numbers, like Ice 8. When talking to other dragons outside the orphanage, they would introduce themselves as Ice and the name of their orphanage, like: Ice, Winterflake Orphanage. 
Sometimes, if the dragons are adopted, their new parents will give them different names, but some dragons, particularly the ones that live at overcrowded orphanages, never leave the orphanage they live at until they become adults and become attached to their number names. 
With that out of the way, welcome to Moonglow Orphanage. Ice is not ready to meet you.
== Appearance ==
Ice is a pretty big dragon, although you'd never be able to tell it from looking at him, because he's almost always curled up in on himself. His scales are weak and thin, and are a very pale, sickly looking blue.
He has long, silver spikes running along his back and tail. They would probably make pretty good weapons if he ever tried to fight anyone, which he does not. He has dark blue eyes, like the depths of the ocean, sad and lost and longing. His scales don't shine like normal IceWing scales do, no matter how much snow Ice 20 tries to rub on them. 
He's missing a claw on one foot that he lost from frostbite, so he's slightly unbalanced when he walks, He always has a blanket draped over him, as well as smaller blankets wrapped around his feet. 
== Personality ==
Ice is very awkward, especially in conversations, so he tries to avoid other people a lot. He's also extroverted, which means that although he desperately needs social interaction, he also tries to avoid it as much as possible. You have to actively seek out Ice to become his friend.
If he was a normal dragon, probably most people would say he's paranoid. But its rather difficult to look at the dragon with no cold immunity who lives in the tundra and say that he's paranoid without feeling like a complete jerk. So, in Ice's case, he's thorough, never going anywhere without a blanket, or at least another dragon, since IceWings are actually quite warm, due to the amount of heat their bodies have to produce to survive.
He's very nervous, and starts hyperventilating if dragons ask him too many questions at once, or he has to hold a conversation for too long, or really anything involving social conduct for long periods of time.
== Relationships ==
=== Lucky ===
Lucky arrived about a month after Ice, when he was too young to remember things, so he really only knows about her from stories. Her official designation is Ice 27, but everybody calls her Lucky. She arrived at the orphanage as an egg, and when she hatched, she was an adorable, cooing dragonet with a lot of energy. As well, some nobles happened to be passing by on an inspection, and took a liking to her. Eventually, they ended up adopting Lucky, and she was never seen at the Moonglow Orphanage again. Ice sometimes wonders what happens to her, and if she remembers anything from her brief time at the orphanage.
=== Ice(28) ===
Ice 28 is well-known because he arrived at the orphanage when he was four years old. Older dragons never come to the orphanage, because the rule is that if a dragonet is old enough to know their own name, and tell it to you, they should be old enough to survive on their own. But Ice 28 managed to get around this rule because he has amnesia. He doesn't remember his name. He doesn't remember anything. He's confident and outgoing, and has piercing headaches that he tries his best to hide. Ice has a little crush on them, but since 28 loves sports and Ice can't go outside, they don't see each other very often. His birthday is in a month, and Ice is looking forward to celebrating it.
=== Ice(7) ===
Ice 7 is one of Ice's roommates, and one of his only friends. Ice is really comfortable around him, and he always stays near Ice, wrapping his wings or tail around him to make sure he stays warm. Ice 7 hatched late and grows very slowly, which is why, despite the fact that all the dragons around his time are now gone, he's still only five years old, younger then Ice. He was very bitter and jaded for a long time after all his friends left, and he tries to ignore his feelings, pouring all his energy into helping Ice.
=== Ice(17) ===
Ice 17 is Ice's other roommate. They are kind, and also rally around Ice, considering themselves to be Ice's emotional caretaker while 7 is his physical one. While they don't often help Ice to stay warm, although of course they will if he needs it, they are good at working him through his anxiety attacks. They always believe the best in other dragons, and don't understand why Ice's parents would have abandoned him, however, they try to remember that that's all in the past and to leave such thoughts behind. They are very empathetic, and are almost uncannily good at knowing what other dragons are feeling. While 17 is almost always gentle, loving, and helpful to any dragon that needs them, if 17 is truly angry at you, they are a force to be reckoned with. They will never ever forgive you, and for as long as you are in their presence, they will make sure you know it with thousands of tiny little inconviences expertly designed to make your life miserable. They will leave you behind in the past if you leave, but as long as your around, they will never let go of their anger, because they won't be angry at you unless you do something truly wrong. However, they aren't unreasonable. If they're just in a bad mood, and you frusturate them, they will consider that their fault, and forgive you. Ice is in awe of them, and thinks they're incredible. His relationship with them is more of a mentor/student one then a friendship, but they get along very well nonetheless. 
=== Ice(9) ===
While IceWings radiating cold is a myth created by dragons who had never actually met an IceWing, this dragon really does radiate cold. They have the opposite of firescales, frostscales, and defy all logic. They are so cold that it doesn't seem like they should actually be able to survive, and yet, they are somehow very much alive. They are seven, so they should have to leave the orphanage, but the one faculty member who tried to make them turned up frozen in a solid block of ice and it took nearly a full two days for them to thaw, so no one else has tried. Since Ice enjoys remaining alive, he tries to avoid 9 as much as possible, and has only seen him in passing, usually screaming at someone or destroying something.
=== Ice(21) ===
Ice 21 is... weird. Really weird. Of course, everyone at the orphanage is kind of weird in their own way, but Ice 21 is different. He's weird because he seems normal. Or at least, what IceWings consider normal. Unlike most of the dragons at the orphanage, who were either found, or delivered as eggs, 21 arrived in a basket with a book of IceWing rules and information about the Circles in it. He seems to have latched onto that book somehow, and has built his entire identity around it, not even letting his guard down around his roommates. He acts exactly the same with everyone, perfectly polite and banal. Ice is sure that there has to be something deeper, because no one is that boring, but thus far, despite his subtle efforts(he's kind of made 21 his pet project) he has not been able to peel off the mask. His sister, as well as his roommate, is Ice 20, but no one has ever actually seen them speak to each other.
=== Ice(20) ===
Ice 20 is a thief. That in itself is not such a bad thing to be, many dragons at the orphanage steal, when new dragons arrive quickly and everyone is in a hustle and bustle and the faculity forgets to feed them. Ice doesn't steal, but his roommates steal for him, getting him blankets and things. He pretends he doesn't know where they come from. But 20 is different. She steals just because she can. Never let Ice 20 into your room, lock the door tight at night, and even during the day. She'll steal little trinkets, and of course, any jewels that she can find. The dragons of the three towns Moonglow Orphanage is responsible for pay in jewels, and when the jewels are delivered, the headmistress has to make sure to look them away quickly, lest Ice 20 get her claws on them. She seems to believe that she is nobility, despite all the evidence to the contrary, and that all the treasure is rightfully hers. She hates Ice, and Ice is deathly afraid of her. She thinks he's weak, and is always trying to make him into more of a true IceWing. He almost froze to death once when she rubbed snow all over his scales. Since then, he never leaves the room without staying near another dragon, whether he knows them or not. He thinks that if she really wants to be a true IceWings, she should take a hint from Ice 21, who follows all the rules of how to be a good IceWing, but is still polite and kind to everyone. He doesn't understand how those two are related.
=== Ice(1) ===
Ice 1 is the first dragon of the new "era" of the orphanage. Fae is not the first dragon ever, but once the count gets up to about 100 or so, they declare a new era, and start over at 1. 1 is, of course, too old to be a resident anymore, but fae loved the orphanage, and they were severly understaffed, so they just quickly changed faes status from resident to employee and no one thought twice about it. Fae is very caring, and loves helping out all the other dragons. Ice was a little intimidated by faer at first, because fae seemed so confident, and Ice was worried fae would be disappointed in him, or try to hurt him, but he came to realize that fae would never hurt anyone unless fae had to, and fae has become one of the few dragons he really trusts.

* While I was writing Relationships, I realized that I probably just should have made a page for the orphanage instead of having to shove everything into Ice's relationships. Oh well, too late now.
