Monstera (catlvr9000)

== Appearance ==
Monstera is a toned and slender Leafwing with olive and lichen colored scales. She bears a multitude of scars, the most notable being the vast array of rips and tears in her wings and frill membranes. She has wrinkles on her snout and beside her eyes, her considerable size also matches her age, and she towers above many. Monstera's scales were once much brighter and more saturated than they are now, stress may be the cause. Her eyes are thin and narrowed with searing judgement and disdain.
== Personality ==
The cold and violent Leafwing is a challenging opponent in battle, and is a proud member of the Poisonwing's ranks. She commands troops of the rebellious dragons and has a stern attitude that is backed by her clear position of puissance. Monstera is easily excited by an impending battle and has an innate aptitude for combat. Monstera believes that weak dragons are entirely useless and provide no purpose to any given cause. She treats dragons who she believes to be inadequate with immense disrespect.
== Relationships ==
(Ship) Princess Eyrie:
After a long and tedious altercation, Monstera floundered Eyrie, defeating the Skywing in battle. Monstera spared her, and this rare gesture would not go unnoticed. The cerise scaled dragon met her match in more ways than one. Built on the desire to be understood, the dragons shared similar perceptions of the world, creating a deep and jagged bond. Their relationship was a spontaneous and passionate endeavor that sprouted during the war that Monstera's belligerent tribe had been engaged in. Eyrie vanished shortly after their union, vowing to return to the poison jungle some day in the foreseeable future. 
== History ==
Divergence
As a young dragon belonging to the Sapwings, she was easily bored by the tribe's passive antics, and found herself lashing out at those close to her, effectively isolating herself from the faction. She was originally dubbed Baneberry, but her instructors preferred to refer to her as "Monster" due to her fowl behavior. Filled with amanosity for her peers, she is easily intrigued when she learns of the Poisonwings. One fateful night at the age of 5, the excitable dragonet sought out the illusive Poisonwings in the dead of night; the perfect oppurtunity the slip away unnoticed. 
Home
Upon finding the Poisonwings, she was instantly entralled by the ideologies around her, the bustling and militaristic communities with forward thinking and practical principals. She felt as if she had been enlightened, shown a more desirable society. She seeks recruitment without a second thought and meets a wiry and lean soldier who becomes her mentor, rigorously disciplining her in the ways of war and combat. This is where she earns her Poisonwing title. Monstera continues to ascend the ranks without toil and at the age of 10 becomes the commander's deputy. Upon her promotion she is conditioned to be cold and calculated, the transition is minimal as she already dawns these attributes, and thus her training continues.
War
After many years of prosperous guidance, her commander grows old and succumbs to a fatal disease. Monstera naturally steps up and takes their place, and she begins to assist the Poisonwings and promote her controversial ideals. Enraged upon hearing of an accidental Sapwing assault, she begins her campaign to eliminate the faulty family of Leafwings. At first their rivals are anxious and reluctant to acknowledge the subsequent declaration of war, but after numerous launched attacks, both factions succumb to it. Eyrie of the Skywings arrives in Pantala with an irresistible deal, promising to employ troops to aid the Poisonwings should they assist in her conquest to pursue and neutralize her sister Vista. Monstera agrees easily, creating an alliance between the tribes.
