hey, come here buddy! that's it, good little sheepy
in the sprawling animal pens owned by one specific icewing family, the pens that hold sheep, polar bears, rabbits, hares, and even foxes, most with white fur, it's easy to miss the small icewing dragonet that weaves between the pens, taking care of each and every animal, his scales blending in with the animals' fur. they whisper to the animals who, fascinatingly, do exactly as they say. they really aren't very large, only a little bigger than the sheep they shepherd.
he's very thin, but that has nothing to do with how much they eat. despite the fact that their family rarely eats the animals they raise together, he has three very filling meals every day, as does the rest of their family. you see, a third circle family doesn't really have to worry about having food on the table. his skinniness is simply genetics, which is quickly apparent when you see his parents and his sister.
they're not exactly a stand-out kind of dragonet. in fact, they seamlessly blend into a crowd. they have mainscales of a pristine, simple white that glitter in the sunlight like snow or ice. he has a light grey underbelly, separated from his mainscales by a darker grey line of scales. the top of their head is the same colour.
their wing membranes are such a pale grey they almost appear white, and they do look white at first glance. the spikes on his head, back and tail gradient from white to dark grey. their eyes are blue-grey, filled with childhood innocence.
as for accessories, they wear a very soft, red, fleece scarf around their neck, given to them at hatching. they never take it off, except to wash it or himself. sometimes they can be seen with their pet hawk, ace, on his shoulder, perched obediently.

woah, are you.. magic?
a six-year old dragonet is always a bit odd. the end of their childhood is just on the horizon, and yet it feels like they're still young. some of these dragonets embrace the fact that they're getting older: they act more mature, they chat up the adults, they try their best to be 'cool' and/or they focus extra-hard on doing things right. some of these dragonets hold on to their childhood: they have as much fun as they can, they let themselves be amazed by anything and everything, and they do what makes them happiest, no matter the outcome.
fleece is part of the latter group. he's full of the happiness, wonder, and excitement only dragonets can truly have. they love to have fun, and don't really focus too much on the future, choosing simply to live in the present. they find new things fascinating, and will spend hours obsessing over something new, then forgetting about it for months. however, they still have things that they treasure that they will always love and not forget.
fleece is introverted, much preferring his own company to that of others. they don't like loud, bustling crowds or wild parties. they prefer to spend time by themself or with the animals above all else, although he does enjoy occasionally talking and hanging with close friends. he loves to explore on his own, going on adventures in the snow and ice of the kingdom he lives in.
they're a dragonet that is very in touch with emotion, both their emotions and those of others. when he's upset or angry, he'll show it, by yelling or crying, although the former is very rare. they're very empathetic, and will always talk to a friend or family member if he can tell something is off. he doesn't give the best advice, but is perfect if you just want someone to listen. 
he doesn't really talk to anyone he isn't close with, and they take the close relationships they have very seriously, fiercely protective of the ones they care for. he is very warm and affectionate with those he cares about, and wants these dragons to know they're very special to him.
fleece's self-esteem is constantly fluctuating. sometimes he'll be confident enough in his abilities to at least speak up in class, other times he'll spend hours on homework because he doesn't believe his answers are good enough, or smart enough. sometimes he love himself, and sometimes he hates himself. it changes day to day, and they're not very good at telling anyone about it.

can we make snow angels? please?
their story isn't one of crazy adventures and dark beginnings. he hatched in a quiet home ceremony. he was welcomed to life with a red fleece scarf, so big originally that he could use it as a mini-blanket. his family named him fleece after they saw how close he was to the little scarf.
he grew up just about as quietly as he was hatched. his father, skijor, worked as a travelling merchant, making money to feed the animals fleece's family owned. due to this, fleece didn't see him much. instead, he spent most of his time out in the pastures with his older sister, bleak. even from a young age, he learned to care for the animals they raised. it started out with simply doing a few things to help out bleak: feeding, cleaning, collecting. but after a while they began to work independently, taking care of some animals on his own.
when they were around three years old, they and their family discovered their talent as a shepherd.

he's so cute... but does he even know who I am?
opaline
his mother. the two are very close, especially due to the fact that she shares his talents with and love for animals. they do fight occasionally, but only really when she wants him to be more social and they tell her they don't want to be, which leads to some arguing. he spends a lot of time with her when he's not with the animals or by himself. The two have a scrapbook of fascinating animals that they made together, originally given to fleece as a birthday present when it was only about a quarter full.
skijor
bleak
his older sister. before she left the kingdom for her research on technology, the two were as close as siblings can get. fights between the two were rare, and she was their biggest source for advice. she taught them how to work with the animals, and helped them when they didn't quite understand what an animal needed. even when his skills began to surpass hers, she sill gave them help and advice. after she left, he was quite lonely without anyone to talk and laugh with.
humboldt
skadi
ace
