Hooktail

__NOEDITSECTION__Hooktail is a 48 year-old NightWing introduced in "Until Tomorrow" as a minor character. She is the adoptive mother of Paradox and the partner of Sandpaper.
== Description ==
Hooktail is dark green. True to her name, the tip of her tail is permanently hooked inwards, leaving her unable to articulate it.
== History ==
=== Backstory ===
Hooktail was born in 5,023 AS in the Rainforest Kingdom. Not much is known about her except that she moved to Possibility and ended up in a relationship with Sandpaper sometime before 5,048 AS.
She found a SkyWing-IceWing dragonet in the rubble of Possibility after an IceWing attack, named him Paradox, and swore to adopt him. She did so officially about a year later. Hooktail grew concerned over his trauma in this time.
=== Until Tomorrow ===
Hooktail was informed of Dulcify's memory manipulation abilities by Sandpaper and agreed to bring Paradox to her to fix his trauma. She was wary of the ordeal, and yelled at Dulcify after he collapsed from her actions.
== Personality ==
Hooktail has a very mother-like instinct and was shown to be willing to pick fights if something happened to someone in her care. She is heavily against the idea of hurting others, but will go along with it if it means making them better for the long run.
== Abilities ==
Hooktail has the standard NightWing abilities of superb night vision and firebreath. Her tail tip has no mobility and often aches.
== Relations ==
=== Dulcify ===
They only met once on precarious terms since Hooktail didn't know Dulcify and only met her through Sandpaper's referral. After Paradox's collapse, she yelled at Dulcify over his state. Dulcify doesn't seem to take her very seriously, although she hated the fact Sandpaper told Hooktail she existed.
=== Paradox ===
Hooktail took a special interest in Paradox ever since she found him and coined his name. She was willing to go through the process for custody of him. She is extremely protective over him and often concerned over his growth. She considers him as one of her own dragonets. Paradox in his young dragonet years appears to share a similar love back.
=== Sandpaper ===
She is in a relationship with Sandpaper. They sometimes disagree on terms.
== Trivia ==
* Hooktail's name comes from her tail defect, obviously. She is the first character made to have a physical deformity like so.
** Her original description never had an explanation for why she had it, although paralysis was slightly implied. The true reason in her modern form is due to the fusion of her last few tail vertebrae, a condition known as ankylosing spondylitis which is a form of arthritis.
* Hooktail is the first NightWing OC I ever made, although it took over two years for her to actually get elaborated on past what was previously mentioned in Paradox's page.
* Hooktail's intended reference was never finished and was lost after the computer it was being made on broke.
