Terracotta

"Oh yes, I can see your future. Yes yes yes, I can.""And...?""Yes, yes yes, you have a future.""Well that's  obvious, but what's in it?" "A future, of course."--Terracotta and Queen Glory conversing
Terracotta is a minor seer, appointed Royal Queen's Seer by Queen Glamor at the age of seven. She is a RainWing character created by Sarahyasmine. She is the lead character in the fanfiction The Eyes of Prophecy as well, also by Sarahyasmine. 
== Description ==
Terracotta has scales basically the color of a SkyWing's; her main scales are a medium maroon color, her spine spikes and underbelly are orange, fading to bright yellow towards her tail, and her ruff is green. She has purple horns and accents, as well as bright violet eyes. (Which are super large 'cause she wears large glasses that wrap around her horns). Her wings start at light-green around the tips, and fade towards her body to dark, foliage-green. She also wears around 120 bracelets of all shapes and sizes, given to her by her mother and husband. Terracotta has a hard time changing the color of her scales, and can only successfully change her wing color. She has discovered that her eyes (sometimes, very rarely) change color depending on her mood, though. Red for angry, blue for sad, et cetera. Her eyes also turn bright-white when she is seeing or receiving a prophecy.
== Personality ==
Kinda super weird, is a seer so always making predictions (using words that don't even fit together) and making her friends, no, people she knows think she's crazy. Light and energetic, but never paying attention to anything at all. Has a nervous habit of playing with her claws and bracelets. Whether she is confident or unconfident, Terracotta always uses words way too much, to reassure herself and others. For instance, if something is bothering her, she'll say something like "Oh, no no no," and if she's explaining something, she'll say something like "That's true. Yup, yup yup." It is one of her defining traits, much to Tangerine's delight. He quite enjoys being around Terracotta; She is a very smart, very quirky dragon, and almost never says anything right.
== Biography ==
Terracotta was born to two RainWing parents, and quickly discovered she was a seer by the age of one. Almost every time she would look at a dragon, she would receive a very small glimpse of their future, leading to her using this talent for profit, as she was a very strange young dragonet and was never accepted into any jobs or positions. When Terracotta was four, she met a cheerful RainWing two years older than her named Allspice. They formed a very close relationship, and eventually Allspice would be nominated as Terracotta's children's godmother.Because Terracotta had a hard time applying for most jobs due to her strange air, she set up a tiny prophecy stand in the RainWing market at the age of six, and charged dragons to see their future. During one of these setups, Terracotta met a customer unlike any of her other customers. He was about her age, with beautiful green and orange scales, and he talked in a very friendly manner, almost as if they had known each other forever. His name was Tangerine. After a couple minutes of this session with the handsome RainWing, Terracotta quickly fell in love, and was haunted for weeks afterwards by dreams and visions showing their definite future together. Eventually, Tangerine returned to Terracotta's future-telling shop and paid for another reading. Little did Terracotta know, Tangerine was actually entranced by this young seer, as he had never met anyone quite like her. Terracotta was a strange and weird dragonet, and she never used the proper set of words to go along with the normal dragon language. She was always speaking in verse, or muttering under her breath, happily reciting people's futures, or random prophecies in her mind. Terracotta happily accepted Tangerine's money, and gave him another reading-- saying "Hmm... I see a girl that will soon be yours, definitely in the near future. Yes, yes, she likes you a lot. Mmm-hmm, yes. You will bump right into her, oh yes, it will be a surprise dear Tangerine. Perhaps you already have."
Tangerine wondered who the girl could be, and had completely no idea that Terracotta knew who it was, although he secretly hoped the dragon in his future would be the pretty seer. Around three days later, during a trip to the fruit market, Terracotta, holding a high stack of fruit baskets that were impossible to see over, literally full-on collided with Tangerine, as he was visiting the market as well. Tangerine helped her pick up her spilled fruits, and only when they had finished did they realize who each other was. From that day on, Tangerine fell in love with Terracotta, and as their friendship bloomed, he fell deeper and deeper. Terracotta, on the other hand, was obviously already in love with Tangerine, and was just waiting for him to make the first move. 
When Terracotta was seven, she was discovered by the then-current RainWing queen and accepted into the royal staff as Queen's Seer.
One day, two years later, while Terracotta and Tangerine were out flying, they stopped to rest in the branches of a giant abandoned tree. Tangerine told Terracotta he loved her, and she immediately yelped with joy, which to Tangerine was completely adorable. They were married four months later, and they built a home inside the abandoned tree where Tangerine had confessed his feelings. 
When Terracotta was eleven, her father Taproot died due to a deadly infection by a Dragonbite Viper. Her mother Tualang mourned his loss very seriously, and even went to live in isolation for a few months. 
Two years after that, when Terracotta was thirteen and Tangerine was fourteen, they hatched their first child, Twitter. They didn't want anything to do with the classic RainWing tradition of giving up their eggs to the community, mostly because of the way Terra was raised, and convinced the queen to let them hatch and raise them on their own. Twitter much resembled Tangerine, although he had bright blue scales with hints of green. A bright and energetic child, Twitter was the pride and joy of his parents lives, especially Tangerine, who had always wanted a son--Terracotta loved her new dragonet to the ends of the earth, however, due to her odd personality, had a hard time raising him. Tangerine was the main parent.
Three years after Twitter was born, when Terracotta was reaching sixteen, she and Tangerine laid two more eggs together. Unfortunately, the smaller egg never hatched, and was given to Terracotta's mother Tualang for her to discard, as the two parents couldn't handle the thought of burying it themselves. Despite this, they named the unborn child Tamarix. When the second, larger egg hatched, they named the dragonet Trellis, and quickly realized how sweet and kind a dragon she was. She hatched with teal-blue, dull green and light pink scales, much resembling her mother.
When Terracotta and Tangerine were nineteen and twenty, a group of hostile NightWings attacked the rainforest village, stealing food and resources. Two unnamed NightWings attacked and pillaged Terracotta's family's home, and when Tangerine successfully fought them off, he was badly injured and taken prisoner. Terracotta and her children never saw him again. 
To this day, Terracotta has an extremely hard time raising her dragonets without the knowing help of Tangerine, and her friends and family have pitched in. Most of the time, Twitter and Trellis are watched over by either Tualang or Allspice. 
== Relationships ==
Tangerine: Tangerine was Terracotta's loving husband, and they were married for ten years. (If Tangerine hadn't been kidnapped, it would have been twelve). Terracotta loves him very much, possibly more than anything in the world. They used to share loving glances quite frequently, almost as if they were reading each other's minds, and their nicknames for each other were Tanger and Terra.
Tualang: Tualang is Terracotta's mother, and she is very graceful and well-presented. Terracotta has a love-hate relationship with her, as Tualang loves her very much, but constantly demotes her due to her very apparent weirdness. They can be quite distant and awkward at times, especially due to the fact that Terracotta was strongly abused, both physically and mentally by Tualang when she was a dragonet.
Taproot: Taproot was Terracotta's father, and she got a large amount of love from him, though she never knew him too well thanks to his busy job as the main tribe tradesman. He loved her in huge amounts and liked to show it, but for some odd reason never told his daughter he loved her.
Twitter: Twitter is Terracotta's beloved son, and she smothers him almost as much as she used to smother Tangerine. Twitter reminds her very much of her lost husband, and though she exchanges little words with him, as she does with all dragons minus Tangerine, she favors him over most other dragons, including her daughter.
Trellis: Trellis is Tangerines bright and intelligent daughter, always looking for the best in situations, but analyzing them with extreme precision at the same time. Terracotta resents Trellis for no apparent reasons, but Trellis knows it's mostly because of the fact that she reminds her of her mother, and that Terracotta may think it's Trellis's fault, somehow, that Tamarix died.
Allspice: Terracotta and Allspice still have it strong, even after their sixteen years of friendship. Terracotta loves everything about Allspice, including the fact that she's as clumsy as a frog. They have had close bonds from the day they met each other, and consider each other as if they were sisters. Allspice is Twitter and Trellis's godmother.
Rosethorn: Terracotta and Rosethorn met a few years back, and Rose is close friends with her children, Trellis and Twitter.
