Asclepias

Asclepias is an entry for the Random Prompt Contest. The two random prompts are...
Random Prompt #2 - Make a character whose story is set during the War of SandWing Succession, before the dragonets were born.
Random Prompt #4 - Make a character who was animus-cursed.
== Appearance ==
Asclepias is a lithe SeaWing. Her scales are a dark sapphire blue for the most part, with silver and auburn highlights near her paler underbelly.
Ascle has six talons on each foot - a trait that instantly sets her apart from the rest of the tribe. What's more is the strange colour of her eyes - instead of being blue or green, they're an ice-cold auburn, with mauve/gold tinging near the outer edge.
Maybe it's the colour of her eyes, or maybe it's the six talons on each foot, but many dragons are under the impression that Ascle is very, very dangerous - for the time that they're able to remember her, that is.
As for her stature, Ascle is shorter than many SeaWings and a little stockier - built for endurance.
== Personality ==
Ascle prefers to work alone - partly because of her "animus-given gift," but also because that's just in her nature. She is absorbed with the notion of tracking down the animus who gave her her ability, and she's ready to stop at nothing.
Ascle is an isolated SeaWing, and when she isn't forgotten dragons find her to be rather interesting - mostly because of her talons and the colour of her eyes. In turn, Ascle finds everyone vaguely uninteresting.
Although Ascle tries to abstain from harming others, she is oblivious to the basic necessities of social cues and manners. She doesn't understand the process of a smile, or what emotions lie behind a sad face. But she doesn't mind very much - even if it does lead to some awkward moments.
Because dragons lose all memory and thoughts of her as soon as they turn away, Ascle stages internal dialogue with herself. She likes to talk to herself, that is, and even argue with herself - as she says, "I'm the smartest dragon I know."
== Powers and Abilities ==
Ascle isn't able to breathe fire or frostbreath, being a SeaWing. She has gills and has exceptional night vision - the latter being an advantage whenever she holds her operations at night.
Ascle was also animus-cursed at the age of three. Whenever someone looks away from her, they forget everything about her - they forget that she even exists. And when they look back, the whole process is repeated...
