Sanguine-Bluff

:a legacy that haunts the battlefield still
==appearance==
:fur stained dark with blood. it doesn't wash out.
She was a sweeping, majestic figure, always towering over others, cloaked in the heavy iron plating, ornate fabrics, and angular bird skull masks that signaled Blood-Stone's army. Legend speaks far more of what she represents than who she was.
Sanguine-Bluff was a MortarWing with feathered legs, the fur always long and dragging. They were a MortarWing with horns were massive, splitting into almost countless bleached branches, curved like a caribou. She was a MortarWing who held, like many others, the power to bend the world to her will.
They were cloaked with a long pelt of russet red fur, darkening into charcoal brown on the tips of her ears, her snout, and her tail. The same darkness creeped into the feathers of their wings. Her legs were white, white that splashed onto her underbelly and formed a thin star on her forehead. Their mane was black streaked with light tan, done up in intricate braids and pulled back from her eyes. Near the end of their life, that had been abandoned, replaced with frayed strands cut short with little care for the health of the fur. Her eyes gleamed a blue that was far too bright, even in her dying breaths.
She might have dressed up in summer flowers to celebrate the season of Burned Ruby. She might have smiled at her children, melting away the twisted creases shaped by rage. She might have been a mother and a leader and a friend, too, under the death she wrought upon the land.
What's remembered is her magic, her claws, and her teeth. What's remembered is the blood that they spilled, permanently staining her fur with the dark and ugly shades of death.
==personality==
:conviction that death itself could not quell.
*perfectly okay with bloodshed tbh
*burncore
*almost adores the glory of the battlefield which is bad maybe
**character development here: went from finding death necessary but distasteful to not really valuing life to still not caring but enjoying the rush more
*a little unhinged as a treat
*was normal once??? unclear if it was the magic or just her caring less and less about the death/destruction she caused
*holds grudges forever
==history==
:less a dragon than an instrument of nature's fury.
Born with Blood-Stone's Empire, Sanguine-Bluff grew up alongside it. She was young and impressionable, but still old enough to comprehend the implications, when the SkyWings attempted to invade MortarWing land.
*red ban probably ?
*animus
*grew up in the early stages of blood-stone's empire
*really got invested in that patriotic image, stick it to the skywings yeah !!
*a warrior
*quickly rose in the ranks, was insanely skilled at pulling dragons to their side, everyone loved them tbh it was kind of miraculous
*used their magic for impressive feats, mostly for show but was fairly effective. intimidate the skywings. they are deathly afraid of animus dragons - why not remind them why :3
*just. extremely passionate about everything. wanted this war Won
*has whet-stone at some point, though they were called by a different name at the time
**the father is unclear. tbh
**they were raised among the troops, always kept a safe distance away from the battlefield
**didn't interact with bluff much, but the two were friendly
*saw blood-stone disappear and hide, and started slipping as a result. their leader abandoning them was very upsetting
**her hard work means nothing apparently. all the other mortarwings suck
*magic twists literally creating wounds in the earth, bubbling up blood, all the fun messed up things
*starts snapping at her troop. that loyalty is fraying
*launched a coup that failed because her own soldiers turned against her. L.
*died
*still haunts the land anyway (wraith)
==relationships==
:the transgressions of others are not forgotten.
Blood-Stone - She does not like him
Pearlescent-Agate - Probably doesn't care much about them?
Whet-Stone - A child that she held more care for, once.
Ink-Shard - Does not mind this guy much at all.
