*+.Cirrocumulus.+*

== Appearance ==
Cirrocumulus or Cirro in short is an IceWing and SkyWing hybrid. Her appearance is quite unusual as all of her scales are cloudy white without any tint of the average SkyWing’s red or orange colored scales. Cirro’s SkyWing heritage is only physically displayed by her through her wings which although is mostly white, has red swirls evenly spread across them.
Cirro has a rare genetic condition called heterochromia caused by her hybridization. Her left eye is cool grey and her right eye is a dull red which has a similar appearance to the setting sun. Her horns are spiky like IceWing horns and the spikes extend all the way across her back. She lacks the tail spikes a normal IceWing has.
== Abilities ==
Cirrocumulus’ physical abilities are completely average for a dragon her age. She can fly a bit faster than normal IceWings due to her large SkyWing-like wings. 
One ability that Cirro possesses which is unique to her only is her so-called “Cloudbreath”, a term coined by her SeaWing friend, Barreleye. This ability allows Cirro to exhale a thick and highly pressurized stream of 200 - 450 degrees celcius water vapour from her mouth. This mist is likely created from the Frostbreath inside her melting inside her body from her SkyWing internal heat. Her Cloudbreath, if intentionally used at its maximum potential, is so deadly it can kill a fully grown dragon in mere seconds from boiling off their scales. As the Cloudbreath is a fine boiling mist, it can get inbetween rigid scales which normal Firebreath cannot which makes it dangerous.
Cirro mostly regards her Cloudbreath as a curse rather than an ability as she gets terrible chest pain if she doesn’t regularly exhale her Cloudbreath because of the pressure building up in her lungs. She combats the drawbacks of her ability by constantly exhaling a small quantity of cool mist from her mouth. Cirro also has to be extremely careful when using her ability as she is prone to burning herself if she doesn’t focus the mist into a thin stream and lets it get too spread out to the point it touches her underscales.
== Personality ==
Cirro is a cold and easily angered dragon. She doesn’t like being around too many dragons the same time as she is annoyed by most dragons. Cirro hates her SkyWing father and has cut all connection with him since she moved back to the Ice Kingdom. Although she may seem like an uncaring dragon, Cirrocumulus has 2 best friends that she met in the Sky Kingdom from the school she was enrolled in by her mother. She treats her 2 best friends (Barreleye and Burgundy) unusually kindly.
Cirro intensely dislikes getting her scales dirty and would even go as far as to jump into a river right away if he got mud on his claws. This is the reason why Cirro prefers to fly everywhere rather than walk. She hates MudWings because she views them as unhygenic from bathing in mud all day long even though she has never seen the Mud Kingdom in person before.
== Backstory ==
Cirrocumulus was born from a Second Circle family in the Ice Kingdom and a SkyWing merchant. Near the end of the war, while Cirro’s mother (Hoarfrost) met Falcon, who would be her father in a small town in the Kingdom of Sand. 2 months after the war ended, Cirrocumulus was born in the same town where Hoarfrost met Falcon. The family of 3 moved to the Sky Kingdom after a year and was a small happy family for a while. Cirro was enrolled into a prestigeous SkyWing school at the age of 3 by her mother and there, she met 2 new friends who would become her very best friends until now.
However, happiness was short lasting. During the time in the Sky Kindgom, Falcon’s business was hitting a new low and he could no longer support his family. At the peak of his stress, Falcon turned to alcoholism to cope with his problems. This eventually led to the bankruptcy of Cirro’s family causing Hoarfrost to be rediculed by her tribe for marrying a broke idiot. In the Ice Kingdom, hybridization was generally looked down on already, more so when Hoarfrost’s mate was a bankrupt SkyWing (an enemy tribe in the SandWing succession war). Hoarfrost was banished from her own tribe and the family no longer had a source of income so they were forced to unenroll Cirro from school. 
Under the influence of alcohol addiction, Falcon was attempting to sell Cirro into slavery or forced labour despite Hoarfrost disagreeing with the idea. Cirro was sold in an underground slave trade ring to a rich SkyWing named Raptor . Cirro worked as a slave for him for 3 years and was treated badly and often beat up. She spent her days cleaning his house and was only ever able to leave the house to buy ingredients to cook meals for him. Despite this, Cirro regularly sneaks out to meet up with her childhood friend, Barreleye. After a while, Cirro was caught sneaking out and slacking off so Raptor decided to frame Barreleye for shoplifting from a bakery nearby which caused greedy baker to call the guards on Barreleye.
Barreleye refused to accept the accusations from Raptor and was heavily injured by him in his rage. Cirro refused to stand by and watch his friend get brutally injured so she stepped in and killed Raptor with her Cloudbreath. She fled the scene of the crime before the guards arrived and was able to get to safety in time. Barreleye took all the blame for the incident and was arrested and executed 2 weeks later.
Cirro was extremely shaken up by these incidents and sworn to never make any new friends in fear that they will get hurt because of her. She left the Sky Kingdom and after roaming western Pyrrhia for a bit, settled down in a small cottage on the border between the Sand and Ice Kindgom. However, after 7 peaceful years, Cirro learned that Raptor’s wife had sent a group of deadly NightWing assassins after as revenge for killing her husband. Cirro barely escaped her cottage and fled right before the NightWing assassins arrived as she was warned by her neighbor.
Now, aged 27, Cirrocumulus is on a run for her life from assassins always on her trail...
