"Tina, I greatly appreciate your concerns, but the hatchling is fine."
Shikra is a female SkyWing that works as a full-time tattoo artist and a part-time babysitter.
==Appearance==
Shikra is not one to stand out a lot in the midst of the SkyWing-populated town that she lives in, but she tries her best.
Her thin frame is covered with pale red scales. The ridges and spines are a slightly darker pinkish-red color. Her underbelly is the color of cream, and that color appears on her horns as well. Crimson stripes decorate her body, they appear on her neck, arms, wings and tail. Dragons often mistake those stripes for blood/wounds.
Shikra's always seen wearing her hoops. She thinks that they bring out her yellow eyes.
Even though Shikra is a tattoo artist, her scales have not been marred with any permanent tattoos. She thinks that she's far too young to commit to one.
Dragons usually say that she faintly smells of cinnamon and baked goods.
==Personality==
Over the course of the years she's spent in the city she lives in, Shikra has learned not to ask too many questions. Not too many. Just enough to quench her curiousity and to have a general understanding of the situation or the dragon she's speaking with. She might ask questions such as "so how was your day?" or "is that a good design?", but questions such as "why are you covered in blood?" are generally ones that'd get her in trouble.
She's generally calm and very tolerant. She's open-minded; you're a hybrid? She's fine with that. Hybrids are awesome. You're a war criminal? As long as you pay her, she won't snitch. 
Shikra can be very pleasant to be around. She'll try to strike up a conversaton with her clients (whether that be in the tattoo parlor or while babysitting), talking about basic things such as the weather or whatever new was going on around town.
Some might consider her as paranoid. Especially after she disappeared for a few days when she was 6. She doesn't like to talk about that time.
An odd thing about Shikra is that she's quite submissive, especially towards kind dragons that are much larger than her. She'll try to act super pleasant towards them. She just wants to feel parental love :(
==Abilities==
*basic skywing abilities
*kinda good at art (thus, she's a tattoo artist)
*is good with children :) 
*great at baking goods
==Biography==
Shikra hatched around 5513 AS, in Possibility. She was raised alongside her older sister, Pipit by her ignorant father, Murrelet.
Shikra quickly learned that she was (:c) not an intentional dragonet, and her mother had abandoned her family after laying Shikra.
Murrelet of course struggled with raising the two dragonets; Shikra wasn't an easy child. She only wanted her father's attention and love, but most of the time Murrelet only paid attention to Pipit, since she was a more succesful dragoness. Pipit was an aspiring doctor! Pipit was perfect!
Then, Pipit died.
Murrelet completely shut Shikra out, leaving her homeless and alone in the streets of Possibility. She lived off of the scraps from a bakery in the town for a year. The bakery's owner caught her one day and took her in as an apprentice. Shikra lived with the owner, an older SeaWing named Adamsia, for 3 years before she moved to a city in the SkyWing kingdom, hoping that she'd have better chances at succeeding there.
Well, long story short, when she was 5, Murrelet's lawyer came to her apartment and told her that Murrelet had died, and all of his debts fell onto her shoulders. That was, of course, way too much baggage for a 5-year-old dragonet to deal with, so she accidentally made a deal with a demon in order to pay off the debts.
The demon who called himself "Parasite" was of little help and only helped her pay off half of the money, so she rejected him from her body after a month.
After that, Shikra decided to not make deals with demons and got a job in a tattoo parlor. Her side-job is babysitting, her main clients are criminals who need someone to help deal with their dragonets.
==Trivia==
*She was at first solely created for a roleplay hosted by Frayfae
*She never had a proper education due to dropping out of school as soon as Murrelet abandoned her
*She has good relations with the street thugs of her city because she takes care of their kids :)
*Currently, she resides in an apartment with two roommates: Tinamou and Harmsi. They share a pet stork named Kurg.
*Baking is one of her favorite hobbies. The smells that come with baking remind her of Adamsia's bakery.
