## Biography

### *Pre-Series*

In Anicellus Epilogue, Magic is shown to have given a hot-red Skyling a phoenix orb and promised that it will help cure her daughter. Dove is indirectly mentioned and appeared to either have a former disease or would have one in the future.

At some point, Dove's mother found a way to prevent Dove from entering the Fixing Chamber at birth, most likely by lying that Dove was already 'fixed'. Though it is confirmed her mother died shortly after, possibly due to lying.

She was enrolled into a flight school where she was the top of her competition, beating Swarm and Bee who were the grade-long star students before Dove arrived.

### *Air Hops*

In Prologue, Dove is seen as a young Skyling during the Calliope Age who wants to save the Skylings and "return the sun". Currently, Dove is caring for Crimson, Octoking, Dakro and Squideye in her grandmother's cabin during the Skyling Invasion. When Bee and Swarm arrived from Calliope's orders, Dove tried to divert their attention and attempted to force them to leave but after Swarm wondered for a while and found the inklings and octoling in a trapdoor, Dove temporarily immobilized Bee with a silver spoon but Swarm grabbed it and knocked over Dove. The conflict arises until Bee is controlled by Calliope and Calliope attempts to strangle Dove and to choke her to death but fails when Squideye frees her. They exit the cabin to see a hoard of Skylings which Dove is triggered enough to transform into a Phoenix and temporarily find the sun before saving her friends. After cooling down into her normal forms, they head towards the Swamp Village.
