i don't think there's anything that can replace the view of the ocean, the cool breezes that it brings, and the fresh, tranquil air that surrounds it.

Quote 	the ocean... it speaks to my soul, somehow. i just know that i belong with it.
appearance
um... y-yeah, thanks for calling me pretty, i guess... i-i won't mind if you say it again.
You would expect a SeaWing to live close to the ocean. When you see pale green scales so close to the water, you would automatically think "that's a SeaWing!". Yet, when you look closer on this dragoness, you will realize that she doesn't hail from the mysterious depths, but rather the coldest north.
Eris looks like a normal IceWing in every way - well, maybe except the fact that she small. Very small, tiny for her age. She is much shorter than any other young IceWing, and has a slim body shape, bordering on a stick-thin figure. However, she doesn't look any more different than the regular ice dragon - she still has the horns, spines and sharp claws.
Her coloration, however, might be what draws the curious looks from the crowd. Instead of being pale blue or silvery-white, Eris has very pale seafoam-green scales. Her underbelly is a darker, but similar shade, being a grayish teal. The IceWing has spines of an almost identical color to her underbelly, except it is a much duller shade of teal, while her two straight horns are deep, saturated teal. Her wing membranes are faded aquamarine. Unlike other IceWings, whose scales seem to be bright, shiny and reflect light, Eris's colors seem to absorb brightness, making her blend with the natural tones of the environment, more specifically, the ocean waters she lives so close to.
All of Eris's claws are pure white, trimmed and made blunt to protect the delicate canvas and plants she handles. She has a pair of very dark aqua eyes, her gaze usually turned away from any passing dragon. She constantly avoids eye contact when around anyone else, but when she's alone, there's a lighthearted gleam in her eyes, a small smile on her face as she hums a soft tune to herself.
personality
if you asked me, i think i have way too many flaws.
* quiet gal
* social anxiety hahdhadfs
** has these anxiety attacks often, with varying degrees of triggers
* very awkward around other dragons, provided she doesn't instantly run away or have a panic attack the moment she sees them
* but actually friendly and an uwu bean
* dislikes change and enjoys settling down
* likes having plans and schedules
* freaks out when something doesn't go according to plan
* enjoys abstract and just pretty stuff in general
* actually wants to form deep bonds but is held back by her anxiety ahh
* kind but very passive
* imaginative and super creative
history
i would like to think i'm completely over it. yet i know that it is a lie.
Since the moment that she was born, too many things have already happened before she was old enough to even comprehend them. And most of those things were ugly ones.
Eris's mother, Pristine, was a haughty, self-centered, yet extremely careless and thoughtless IceWing. It was a marvel that Facet, her husband, saw anything in her to begin with. The moment that she found herself having an egg, she left her partner in the dust, splitting the connection between them entirely. She never saw her first daughter hatch, and she had no regrets regarding that matter.
However, when she found herself with a second egg just a few months later, Pristine had a different idea in mind. Instead of leaving out the egg to die, she sold it off to another dragon - a SeaWing named Succulent, for some quick cash. Neither of her dragonets had ever seen her since then.
Succulent felt connected to the egg after seeing its soft turquoise color, expecting a dragonet of her same tribe to emerge from it. As expected, she was rather shocked to see a slightly odd-colored IceWing breaking out of the shell, yet it did not change the affection she immediately had for the tiny dragonet. From the moment she was born, Eris knew Succulent as her mother, despite their obviously different tribes. 
abilities
quote.
Eris possesses all the standard abilities of a purebred IceWing. However, since she is mostly a pacifist and leading a mostly solitary lifestyle, she doesn't really have many occasions where she needs to use them. Her resistance to cold makes it particularly helpful when extremely cold winds do hit, but that's about it. One thing she is significantly better at than other IceWings is swimming, which is obvious when you consider her choice of residence.
The IceWing is a very creative individual with a lot of imagination. She never seems to fail in finding inspiration for her art, and her skills in drawing and coloring also carries her through. She has good taste when it comes to design and colors, as well as art forms like music. She isn't a bad cook either and has a decent flavor profile.
She also has a few other skills, such as knowledge on how to grow and tend to plants, as well as how to make tea. In terms of scientific knowledge, botany is what she knows best - Eris can easily identify the names and uses of a lot of plant life. She owns a garden that holds many herbs and plants that she frequently uses in her daily life, sometimes to calm her own emotions, prepare meals or just for aesthetic purposes.
weaknesses

relationships
quote.
mother - never met, has no high opinion on her because her guardian told her the truth about her egg being sold
father - also never met and doesn't know of his death
frysta - unknown sis. does not know of her whereabouts either.
unnamed guardian - very close parental figure, was devastated when they died + the major source of her anxiety
probably has a lover, yes that lover is ferris confirmed
trivia
there's... not a lot of interesting things to know about me... um... but i could tell you about sea creatures! and the beauty of the ocean! if you won't get tired of it, that is...
* Eris's aesthetics and concept were partially inspired by this ocean lesbian flag
* she enjoys drawing scenery art more than anything, and most of them involve the ocean
* she prefers the minimalist type of aesthetic, and it usually involves a lot of teal and cyan colors, as well as ocean related stuff
* knows how to swim well
* she absolutely does not do horror stuff
* absolutely loves the smell and taste of mint
* enjoys green tea the most
* Eris also adores succulents and she keeps some of them in little pots
* likes doing light reading (think happy fantasy stories, romance etc.)
* dislikes bright lights/colors despite having resistance to the intense brightness
* hums softly to herself all the time while working, and in reality is a good singer
** of course, asking her to sing for you (unless you're Ferris) is a surefire way to trigger an anxiety attack
* finds dolphins and various other sea creatures adorable
* to her, young dragonets are overrated (and i agree with her) and she will never have one
