Lotus the Skywing By Brokenhallow

== Personality ==
Lotus is generally kind and friendly. As a dragonet, she was bubbly and talkative, and she was raised by her mother to be polite and respect authority. When Lotus was two, she discovered the truth about her father's death, and it was a blow to her mental state. For about 7 months, she was in a depression where she didn't speak to anyone except her small circle of friends and family. Lotus is the type of dragon who, if she saw a dragon in trouble, she would try to help them. Often times, if Lotus is overwhelmed or stressed, Lotus can be controlling and demanding, or come off as rude or standoffish. 
Lotus loves to fly, especially around the Sky Palace. She loves the floor to ceiling windows, towers, and spires. She feels that even if she wasn't a SkyWing, she would still love to fly. When Lotus isn't flying, she can be found in one of the Palace libraries, reading or organizing the scrolls. 
Lotus loves her mother a lot and admires Dawn's work as a royal advisor. Dawn has inspired Lotus to chase knowledge, which led to Lotus applying to Jade Mountain Academy. 
== Appearance ==
Lotus is a dark ruby red SkyWing with pale orange and dark pink scales scattered all over. She has a tan/cream colored underbelly and luscious red wing membranes. Her horns are a dark orange striped with a dark pinkish-brown. Her spikes are the same dark orange as her horns. Lotus has a few freckled yellow scales at the end of her tail and some on her wing bones. 
Lotus doesn't wear a lot of jewelry unless required. She always wears a "thin gold chain around her neck, studded with tiny onyx stones."
== Relationships ==
Mother (Dawn)- Dawn is a dark yellow-golden colored SkyWing with pale orange and dark pink scales scattered scales. Lotus' relationship with her mother is fairly good, but Dawn is often a distant figure. Dawn works a lot, preferring to seclude herself in a back room filing than be out flying with her daughter. Lotus isn't bitter that her mother is like this, instead, she does all she can to help and provide for her mother.
Father (Blackbird)- Lotus never met her father, because he was executed the day she was born. Blackbird was the first SkyWing animus in centuries, but he succeeded in hiding it for years. When the queen, Queen Amber, found out she had him executed. Lotus has been tested officially to see if she inherited her father's animus magic.
Queen Amber- Having a mother who is the queen's top advisor makes for some close contact with the queen. Queen Amber has always been kind to Lotus, and Lotus has always been respectful to Queen Amber. If Lotus is being honest, Queen Amber terrifies her a little bit. Lotus knows that Queen Amber trained in military tactics before she became queen, and was ruthless in battle. Queen Amber has defeated her mother, the past Queen Magma, and her sister, Gerbera.
Prince Glider- Lotus hatched a few days before Glider and his brothers, Everest and Windchill, so they all grew up in the wingery together. Glider and Lotus developed a special bond when Glider's uncle, Lord Sleet, was injured in a border skirmish with the IceWings. Since then, Glider and Lotus have practically been inseparable.
Councildaughter Starling- Starling is Lotus' roommate, and she was also accepted into Jade Mountain Academy with Lotus, Glider, and three other dragonets. Starling is a deep orange color with lots of amber scales. Starling often paints white patterns on her wings to make her stand out from the rest of her tribe.
== History ==
=== >Baby/Newborn ===
As a newborn Lotus was like all baby dragons. She was playful and curious, and was fascinated by nature. The fascination with nature slowly faded into a love for flying and reading as Lotus grew bigger and older. 
=== >Dragonet ===
When Lotus was a dragonet she grew fond of flying and reading scrolls. She loved to fly with Glider and the other dragonets in the wingery. Lotus remembers a dragonet named Feather, who had pale gray-red scales and was rumored to be half IceWing. Feather was a runt and was often pushed around by the older and bigger dragonets. Lotus became friends with Feather when she saw Feather pushed off a rock by dragonets much older than the both of them. Since Feather was a runt, her wings were a lot smaller than the average SkyWings, so flying was hard for her. Lotus taught Feather how to navigate the breezes and fly like a SkyWing. Lotus remembers that Feather was tossed into a military training program when she turned four, and Lotus hasn't seen her since. Category:Characters
