Starspire

PROFILE FINISHED: 
SUN SEPT 18, 2022 1:40 PM
Starspire is a 19 year old female NightWing mindreader and seer, who is the daughter of Nightmoon and Swiftflight, and the sister of Dawnlight and Sharpeyes. She hatched on the now gone NightWing island. Her current whereabouts are unknown. 
== Appearance ==
Starspire has a small, skinny, malnourished, sleep-deprived, weak and sickly look. She has many deformities from being raised on the NightWing island her whole life. One of her deformities is that her snout is misshapen, making it more difficult to breath on top of breathing in the ash of the volcano. 
She has dull, grimy and filthy dark purple scales, with some hints of dull purple, violet, and lavender scales. While she does have the signature NightWing mindreader's silver teardrop scales by her eyes, they are far less shiny and 'glamorous' as Moonwatcher's. 
Her spikes are lavender, and her light, cloudy blue eyes are almost always bloodshot, like the sky she never saw. 
She has brutal scars on her underbelly from being scratched with claws. Her left horn is missing the tip of it, being viscously torn off during a scuffle with another NightWing. She also has some claw marks along her snout, and she has some spots on her tail which have no spikes on it. With some parts of her tail seeming to be charred, caused by fire. 
Her wings and tail seem to droop down, looking like she can't even hold them up herself, and her legs seem to be too thin for the rest of her. 
She has silver scales scattered across her wing membranes, almost looking randomized, as if she'd fallen asleep underneath silver paint and it dripped onto her wings. 
She is also known to bear more resemblance to her mother than father. 
== Personality ==
Starspire is seen as strange, crazy, quiet, paranoid, being unable to fight, sort of sadistic, and she incoherently mumbles to hereslf. She dislikes her powers.
She also strongly dislikes having to fly long distances without breaks.
== Abilities ==
Starspire has mindreading, and weak prophetic powers.
== Backstory ==
Starspire hatched under two moons on the secret NightWing island to her parents Nightmoon and Swiftflight. She had an older sister and brother named Dawnlight and Sharpeyes. 
She hatched with a snout deformity, but was considered one of the 'healthy' dragonets otherwise.
Her mother and father seemed ignorant to her powers, and her parents never seemed to realize the oddness of Starspire. Which came from her having mindreading powers and weak prophetic abilities. She grew up like the rest of the other NightWings, following Queen Battlewinner's orders and suffering on the NightWing island. Although her snout deformity wasn't quite noticed as it was more internal than external, it made her suffering even worse.
Nearly her entire family saw her as physically weak, and she was mentally as well. Because NightWings at that point didn't have mindreading, she was never trained, and being unable to silence the voices that weren't hers, she slowly devolved into insanity.
Out of all of the dragonets, she was declared the most frail and 'useless'. Because of this cruel title, she was quite outcasted from the already small group of dragonets. Which she did not think was fair. Being able to hear their innermost thoughts about her without being able to tune them out was even more horrible. She hated the other dragonets, and grew up with no friends.
She loved scrolls. Mostly because she would be able to shut herself away from the terrible life she lived. She could live in the world of the scroll, even for a little while.
Sometimes being an outcast is not well, and she was often ganged up on by the other NightWings, including her own sister, Dawnlight. This lead to some arguments turning physical, and she was often(always) on the losing side. 
Despite this, she remained hopeful that one day, like the scrolls, her life would change and she would go on an amazing adventure. But... she gave up on that not too long after. 
As she grew, her hunting skills(or... what they called hunting skills) were... above average. So Queen Battlewinner decided she was useful enough to keep. 
The loneliness was starting to get to her at this point, and she had started talking to herself. It was usually in mumbles, but sometimes she'd break out into hysteric fits of laughter. This made her seem even more crazy to the other NightWings, and she was outcasted even further. Her hunting skills started declining, and Queen Battlewinner was close to exiling her, but when Battlewinner died in The dark secret, she was safe then. 
She had obviously heard of Starflight's story during the events of The dark secret. She was jealous, jealous that a NightWing was able to escape the fury of the volcano. That he was able to 'go on an amazing adventure' like she never had. In her eyes, she hated how he hadn't suffered even a close amount as she had, but she eventually learned how hard Starflight's life actually was, and hesitantly let it go. She still does not like Starflight for whatever reasons. 
When the volcano exploded, she was actually hoping to die during it, but a dragon she couldn't see managed to save her by dragging her to safety. She doesn't remember who that dragon was, but she doesn't quite know how to feel about them. 
She learned about Moonwatcher when Secretkeeper introduced Moonwatcher to the tribe again, and she agreed with the rest of the NightWings that it was not fair. She did not care that it was Secretkeeper who kept Moonwatcher away from the tribe. She only cared that Moonwatcher wasn't able to suffer with the rest of the NightWings. She despised Moonwatcher since the moment Starspire saw her. 
It was even worse when Moonwatcher became a part of Jade mountain academy and was able to fulfill an even more exciting adventure. and what's worse is that she didn't end up dead. 
Before that, Starspire wasn't a particularly sane dragon, she often left in the middle of the night to wherever. She would come back early in the morning, endlessly muttering to no one. She reached her breaking point after that, she ran away from the rainforest not too long after, and no one knows about her current whereabouts. 
== Relationships ==
=== Nightmoon ===
Her mother was the only one in Starspire's family that did outright hate Starspire. Sure, she might have been a little disappointed in Starspire, but she was the closest dragon Starspire knew. She was inconsolable when she found out Nightmoon died.
=== Swiftflight ===
Swiftflight had unsurprisingly handled most of Starspire's flight training. She dislikes those moments because she remembers clearly, that even if she tired, her father would not let her stop or take a break until she'd reached his high set goals. He would use the NightWing tribe as a whole as an "incentive" for Starspire. 
"Starspire! If you can't fly faster than that, how would you help the tribe?!"
"Starspire, I said, FLY FARTHER! I do not care! Just go!"
Remembering those moments make her shudder. But other than that, he was an unpleasant dragon to Starspire, and her mindreading powers confirmed that. Starspire was not saddened by his death.
=== Sharpeyes ===
Sharpeyes used to like Starspire until he found out she wasn't as strong/good as the rest of them were. He started strangely ignoring Starspire without telling her why. She was confused, and was sad when he died. 
=== Dawnlight ===
Starspire never had a good relationship with Dawnlight. Dawnlight didn't like how weak Starspire was, or how timid she was. Dawnlight would always join other NightWings in tormenting Starspire. Starspire held bitterness towards Dawnlight and ignored her. Starspire wishes Dawnlight died in the volcanic explosion.
