Chuckwalla

Appearance: The first thing that many notice when meeting Chuckwalla are his eyes. They are black eyes, a typical color for SandWings, but they are lit with kindness. So too is the smile which he has across his snout. Covering his stocky build are coarse scales of a light yellowed grey. They have a grainy texture. 
*father to sidewinder and husband to asp
*was the younger sibling out of a duo! 
**was also the irresponsible-ish one
***well, it wasn't that he was irresponsible so much as he was idealistic? he would always stop in the middle of the tasks he did to do a little daydreaming, and then when someone would inevitably be like "YO?!" he would be startled and sort of jump which would mess up what he was doing if it was something like sweeping
****do you know how many dust piles he's scattered because of his daydreaming? friends, i tell you it is many.
*okay, he learned to keep the dreaming at bay whenever he was doing something that would probably be better done without dreaming!
**but like...at night. like riiight before bed his brain always kicks in and launches eighty million thoughts into his head like what happens why is this why tho how wait so if this but then that aaaa wait but how could we forget—
***he stays awake for like. at least an hour. usually more. waaay usually more.
*bro...he didn't really want to be a soldier? he was idealistic. he wanted peace. 
**but asp...asp was idealistic too, but she was idealistic in a different way. she thought peace could only be achieved for them if they fought for it, tooth and claw. 
**he eventually came to agree with her. he saw all the destruction around him and felt that what he was doing wasn't enough. he wanted change
*a stocky-kinda build! light yellow-grey scales that have a coarse, grainy texture
*black eyes bc sandwing yknow
*kind eyes, tho. kind smile. 
*also a look that always seems a bit distracted, like something in his thoughts are absorbing him.
*orphan kiddo with his sister
*the orphanage they were hatched in wasn't....necessarily bad, per se? but it was strict and restrictive because money was tight and kids are expensive
**chuckwalla actually did better than his sister there in some ways! like, the caretakers liked him better sometimes because he was a liddle ~ray of sunshine~ and tried his best to follow the schedule and stuff, even tho it was difficult
***his sister...was cold. glaring at everything. made stuff hard for the caretakers. following the schedule and doing her chores was easier for her, but that didn't mean she tried to do that stuff. if the caretakers told her to clean a room that she deemed to be pretty clean already, she wouldn't do it 
*sister was protective of him
*ah. she never really liked asp.
**to be fair, there weren't many dragons that she liked.
***but for asp, it was different...she respected asp and believed they would have gotten along, but the fact that chuckwalla took interest in her, and that she returned them—that was concerning
*asp drew him like a how a moth is drawn to a flame
**getting too close ended up hurting him.
**i mean, he was happy tho. even if it hurt.
**and. well. asp got hurt in the process too.
**it wasnt that they hurt each other, but their hurt was still kinda caused by each other.
*wow this is some depressing stuff if i ever get around to writing n i mean actual writing im putting in a happy song for his theme song
