Penuche

-chaotic good or, if you can’t stand an assassin being ranked as good, then idk
-chaotic neutral and chaotic evil don’t fit, so,,,
-about 11 dy (dragon years) old
-surprisingly childlike features for her age, very short and is easily mistaken for a dragonet
-this p-sses her off to a tee. not the childlike features, but the common misconception that she is young.
-whitish hue, but lacks the blueish tint that most icewings have in their white. more of a very light brown tint than a blue tint
-has freckles on her cheeks and nose
-greenish eyes
-works as a hired assassin, but only will murder a dragon if she agrees that said dragon did terrible enough of a thing to be killed. asks her possible clients why they want them dead
-because of this, you’d think she has to be good at sensing lies— because the dragon could be making up a story of why they want someone to be killed— but she actually is fairly naive to these things. what she does instead, however, is watch her targets from a distance and figure out if they truly did do the wrongdoing her client told her they did, if not then she calls off the deal with her client.
-she is way better at telling whether or not her client’s victims would kill a dragon than being able to tell whether or not her client is telling the truth or lying, this is likely because her clients alter their voices to seem almost truthful when they’re telling a lie and she’s not very good socially at noticing dragons’ “true selves” beneath their facades in general. it’s easier for her to observe dragons from a distance, see their opinions and such, interact with them as if she’s not about to murder them, see the way they see the world, and be able to decide personally for herself if they really did commit the murder/crime. honestly this makes her somewhat of an investigator as well as an assassin, but rather than investigating *who* did the crime she’s kinda investigating to *make sure* said dragon did the crime, kinda to affirm it
-even though her client told her they did the murder/crime AND said dragon’s personality matches up with committing the crime, penuche still has ways of triple & quadruple-checking they did it, she’d feel awfully terrible if she killed an innocent dragon
-skinny and petite, not very strong in head-to-head battle but is a master of outmaneuvering/strafing combat such as dodge-and-frostbreath, confusing her enemies, pre-setting traps for her enemies to walk through
-not sensitive at all, but extremely sensitive at the same time
-not easily offended as in *slightly dark humored joke is said* or *opinion is stated a little harshly* and she’ll go “that’s rude!”
-she actually is chill with this kind of stuff, she doesn’t get offended by them
-however if someone says something that is actually serious/harsh, she doesn’t let it go, it stays in her head forever and ever
-basically, she’s sensitive (NOT in the empathy way, I mean in the sensitive-to-being-insulted-way) but not easily offended, is the best way to phrase it
-completely based off of me irl, except some things may be exaggerated or added on (no I’m not an assassin irl, tRuSt me but the other traits of hers’ are somewhat alike to exactly akin to my traits in that given field
-many around her (quite specifically, those who don’t know the real her) let their guard down and have no problem saying cringeworthy or stupid things or letting out their anger they’ve been holding back. they think she’s too small, cute, childlike and innocent to care: they don’t think she’ll tease them for acting stupid or spoiled because they think she isn’t very aware of what social skills are, so they have no problem being embarrassed in front of her
-true story n little rant: a kid in my class oftenly talks to me... different... than the others, especially while there is no one around watching except me. he normally doesn’t act like that, but because he doesn’t care about my opinion, he can do it anyways. he’d oftenly talk to me as if i’m young/stupid, use outdated slang, talk slower, and even make some very,,, cringeworthy faces haha
-for penuche’s example: dragons have no problem letting a bit more of their anger out around her, rather than in public where they’d try some self control on their temper; they also have less of a problem embarrassing themselves in front of her than they do w/ others
-despite her hatred of this treatment towards her she actually finds it quite useful to easily analyze other dragons better and see the “true them” beneath the facade. i can also possibly see this helping out w/ her assassin profession
-following the social skills thing, she makes only basic use of social skills herself but isn’t very good socially; she often finds phrasing things wrong a roadblock she goes through in day-to-day conversation. she is aware of some more intricate social skills and cues OTHER dragons use, however
-so basically, terrible socially, but is amazing at understanding other dragons’ mindsets
-NOT an empath. think of it this way: magic vs. technology; magic are the empaths who just _SEEM_ to sense vibrations and pick up on other dragons’ emotions; whilst Penuche is technology who has no sense of empathy, cannot pick up just the slightest bit of frustration in a pleasant tone, all that jazz. but she still knows other dragons’ mindsets; her way of figuring out other dragons (“reading” other dragons) is more time-consuming; she notices things about the way they talk, the decisions they make, and she uses her very BASIC empathy to piece together the rest. she also figures out other dragons by thinking about the way they talked in both the past and the present over hours and hours of free time and thinking, and eventually comes out knowing their mindset like her best friend. however, she does portray very basic empathy skills, like tone of voice when it’s NOT being extremely well hidden, facial expression, hesitation, etc.
-she gets to the same destination as the “bigger” empaths get basically, but just a very different method of getting there; two opposite roads intersect
-can temporarily change her mindset (of how she perceives things) to make herself better at a certain skill; for example (real life example) in parkour video games i often try to make both my space-bar hand and my arrow-keys hand both have separate minds of their own rather than thinking the same way, under the same brain, another example is that i’m more geared to focus on one thing and blur out all the others; but whilst playing chess i may have to change that to ensure all my pieces on the board are safe and not, say, just the queen or rook (NOT a metaphor haha)
-hates it when dragons call her small and cute and f*cking underestimate her, but surprisingly she doesn’t want to change her appearance any way; in fact, she’s severely opposed to the idea! if she got plastic surgery or even tried to change her appearance; heck, even WISHED to change her appearance, she’d feel like she’d be giving in to the rest of society. nope; she thinks they’re the problem and that they have to change their opinions that just because someone’s small and young-looking doesn’t make them weak/innocent
-top, #1 icewing of the fourth circle
-absolutely hates the royal family
-easily bored, easily bored, so easily boreddd.
-sometimes has fantasies of being an animus but is so-over-the-moon happy she isn’t one
-this isn’t because she’s worried she’ll turn evil, it’s because she thinks animi have it so easy
-to add on to the previous statement, she doesn’t like being put at a natural advantage to other dragons e.g. size, she loves being at a disadvantage, no, not because her enemies will underestimate her, well, kind of that, but that’s not the most major reason— the most major reason is because she likes a challenge and wants to prove that all dragons can be good at a skill no matter their disabilities, size disadvantages, basically any disadvantage that was given to them naturally from birth, etc. 
-basically, she wants to prove a point :D
-real life example: people who play minecraft know that touch screen users can barely compete with controller players guess what??? i made it a point not to get minecraft for my xbox and stay on my ipad B) now i’m pro for someone who plays on ipad and can even rival people on controllers! (but not the really good controller players, mostly just the lower tier ones. still an accomplishment!)
-yes i’m aware it’s cringey of me to randomly bring minecraft into this but i want to give real life examples and nothing is stopping me
-because of the proving-points thing, she also has very unreachable goals and daydreams, (e.g. a small dragon can be as good a fighter as a very large muscular one) but still believes in her heart she can reach them
-one of her personal goals is to defeat a firescales dragon on her own, just her— she loves the extremely clear disadvantage here even though chances are high she’s going to be killed
-a particular daydream of hers began occurring every week or so at nighttime when she suffers from insomnia (which she does a LOT, which she uses coming up with plots for stories, analyzing interactions with others she had throughout the day, and basically analyzing dragons in general, yes she’s a writer) began when she found out about peril in queen scarlet’s arena; she then daydreamed about defeating peril despite her wings being chained, her size being shorter than peril, and peril being a firescales dragon. she imagined the bored faces of the watching skywings as they thought she’d just be another icewing who’d easily get killed in a snap, but then when peril dies she imagines them chanting her name. 
-if she met peril in real life she’d also probably attempt to kill her too, (real life example i am a peaceful peril hater, sorry-not-sorry), because she thinks peril rightfully deserves death for all the crimes she committed (and i kinda think her relationship with clay’s a tiny bit abusive too)
-think i mentioned her hate of the royal family earlier?)) is waiting undercover in the third circle for the right moment to strike the royal family, plans to kill off all the ones who deserve death and do something— imprison, or alter the memory of— the ones who don’t deserve to be killed
-has no problem killing hundreds who deserve death in her opinion, but will feel mega guilty if she kills one innocent dragon. actually, she despises dragons who kill others for minor reasons, and is more likely to kill *them*
-voice matches her appearance, i’d say something like the english version of Himiko Toga from MHA from her voice
-as you can tell haha i love to analyze the minor details of my mindset and the way of my thought train, just like penuche; she loves to analyze herself, not to mention others, and books aswell.
-if she sees someone who is more intelligent than her— yes, she can tell— she’ll purposely try and have a verbal debate with them, get on their nerves, etc; and won’t stop until she gets tired or defeat for her is painfully clear. she’s just jealous of them so she wants to win a debate with them to assert dominance. she and qibli (the canon WoF character) would probably argue for days straight, though qibli would probably win haha (she isn’t as intelligent as he is, but close) i’m not nearly as intelligent as either of them lmao, i kinda exaggerated her intelligence in this is that okay?? uhh i’ve checked the rules and—
-despite being similar to qibli analytical-wise/ reading-dragons wise and almost as intelligent as him, her brain isn’t at all like his; he tends to have several tiny brains inside his one big brain functioning in turn, (metaphorically), whilst penuche only focuses on one thing and has just one thought train/ one “brain”. she can occasionally (again metaphorically) split her brain into two when she’s keeping up conversation with a future victim (scroll below to read more about this) 
-she uses this technique often; have everyday conversation/small talk with the one whom she wants to kill, she tries to bring up politics/opinions into their conversations to try and understand more how the dragon thinks and perceives things. this can help her in the future with a) combat: dragons who fight a certain way tend to think a certain way aswell, and b) trying to figure out if said dragon is truly the one who committed the crime, or if her client just made up the story because they want them killed
-analyst and strategist
-not very muscular, whip-thin and actually a little scrawny
-is extroverted, but no one really likes conversation with her for some reason— in fact talking to her annoys them for some reason. gets annoyed when others say that introvert = person that has no friends and extrovert = person that has a bunch. in her eyes, being extrovert and introvert has nothing to do with how many friends you have; it just depends on how much you talk and if you enjoy conversation. she’s not really good at social skills, doesn’t have many friends, easily irritates dragons, but still enjoys talking nevertheless
-between her lack of muscle and her size, it usually causes a state of momentary confusion in dragons who realize she made it all the way to the top of the fourth circle
-penuche is a type of fudge if you were wondering
-gray-ace female lesbian
-facial appearance (NOT her body) has some inspiration from Catra from She-Ra with freckles & green eyes, but everything else is original
-despite being a MudWing, her body is skinny, sleek, and angular. 
-exact heritage is 25% MudWing and 75% IceWing
-blood is a hot pink color rather than the IceWings’ blue; not exactly the traditional red either
-quite lazy actually, doesn’t want to do anything unless it’s combat/battle/assassin duties because she finds those things quite fun (especially winning fights against larger dragons or more skilled dragons)
-she finds them fun because it feels good and refreshing to win a fight with a dragon larger than her with dodging/intellectual skill
-you know how i stated above that when dragons say something to her, it sticks in her head for long? yeah. well it sticks in her head for MONTHS and, for the love of the moons, she can’t seem to let said dragon go
-also tends to stereotype a lot, if a few dragons from a tribe weren’t very good to her/mocked her/killed one of her friends/hurt her/etc then she’ll hate that tribe for awhile and find it hard to forgive them. no, she doesn’t give a damn if a couple dragons from that tribe were actually good/fair to her, or at least as fair as a dragon from another tribe can be to an icewing— she easily forgets that not every dragon in a single tribe is bad and just focuses on the negativity
-sometimes during her stretches of insomnia she’ll go back memory-wise on a heated debate, exchange of insults, or physical fight she had with another dragon that absolutely made her mad. (if it made her mad it either means she lost the argument/fight or she couldn’t deliver enough of a splitting comeback, which is the more common in this situation)— she’ll then rewrite those scenes in some sort of fantasy/daydream where she actually says/does the right things in the fight and wins; so basically correcting what she should have said or done in the situation that would have been key to her winning
-VERY good at debates. she can come up with a hundred reasons why you’re wrong, me irl B)
-despite this however, she is not at all good at roasts/comebacks in the moment, but if you give her a little thinking time she’ll have the spiciest comeback in the world. usually when she looks back on these exchanges of comebacks during her insomnia, she’ll have an, “OH, I COULDVE SAID THIS AND IT WOULD HAVE SHREDDED SAID DRAGON” moment about 10 minutes into her thought train
-yeah, i forgot to mention this, but her insomnia pretty much shaped her intelligence in the first place
-because of this, she needs thinking time before she can do something. even before combat/killing someone, she needs a day to plan what exactly she’ll do to her victims. she is absolutely terrible at thinking cleverly IN THE MOMENT, e.g. coming up with a plan right before her victim is about to fight her, and she’s not going to have a try at that because she’ll most likely die.
-terrible at multitasking. terrible, like stated above she cannot really divide her mind into metaphorical pieces like qibli can. the best she can do is 2 different thought trains, and that’s when she tries the undercover approach method on her enemies; befriend them first, talk to them for a bit; and use the talking as distraction/gaining information on her enemy. this “socializing” actually gives her time to formulate a plan in the other metaphorical piece of her mind on how she’ll defeat her enemy, and like stated above, it also helps with gathering information on a dragons mindset and how their fighting skills are going to be like. she only uses the undercover approach when she didn’t have that day off to formulate a plan i mentioned above
