**TW: ab/se mentions, violence, death, SH & suicide thoughts, trauma etc**

You were warned, now that's her character:

## Personality

Scorch is smart. Her decisions may seem impulsive, but she calculates them carefully to hit the exact spot. She's always manipulating others around.

She's violent, as she was taught to be from her early days - but everything she does, she convinces herself it's in self defence or that she was "forced" to do it. She also rarely kills on purpose, but she is able to do a lot of damage to her enemies, both physical and mental.

While talking, she keeps throwing threats and bad jokes, usually intimidating the other dragon.

But of all the bad stuff she does, she does it out of disrespect and distrust to others. The few dragons she trusts, she's still rough with, but never threatens them and defends them fiercely with her life.

## Biography

Hatched about 6-7 years before the start of The War of SandWing Succession, The Sister was named Smash by her single mother. She had two older half-siblings: a Sand-Sky hybrids, Scorch and Ember.

Their mother was paranoid about something she called The Monster; after Smash learned to walk, she started to tell her how to fight, influencing the dragonet's personality. She told her and the siblings that The Monster comes every full moon and they have to hide in the tunnels she built below their house.

Ember was impulsive, and Scorch was too scatterbrained, so their mother picked Smash to defend them. One night, on the request of her siblings, she sneaked out and found her mother gone.

Thinking it's The Monster who got her, she started to look for her mother. She discovered that The Monster was a lie, and she was just hiding them from her ab/sive IceWing partner.

From the moment he met his daughter, he hated her. He clearly stated that she's not needed, but was too proud to just shove her away.

Her father instead kept insulting her, telling the dragonet she's too ugly to find an IceWing husband. To humiliate him, she kept repeating that if all IceWing husband's are that grumpy, she'll find a wife instead, guessing that her father wanted to use her to get some influence in the Ice Kingdom politics.

He bullied the small Smash so bad she wanted to make herself look ugly, like never washing again or covering her scales in mud and ink. Thankfully, her mother stopped her before she went further (and gave her a rant that made The Sister never think about SH or su/cide again, and also hate the concept in general).

Her mother still kept her other dragonets a secret, fearing that the IceWing will kill them. Smash guessed why did she do that and also kept silent.

One day, her father visited them at daytime and gave them two bracelets, saying that they will be able to cross the Great Ice Cliff safely.

Long story short, Ember overheard that conversation, and went with Scorch to explore the Ice Kingdom. Of course, the bracelets didn't protect him, and Smash watched her brother get frozen to death. She was unharmed, as she was part IceWing, but it destroyed further her mentality.

She told her mother about the incident and they threw away the bracelets. Scorch was terrified and didn't want to get out of the tunnels ever again.

After a month of grief, but no visits from her father, he came back to them, asking them why didn't they came. Smash lied smoothly that someone stole their bracelets, and they couldn't come. She told him that he also tried to cross The Great Ice Cliff, but froze to death.

After that, she straightforward asked him why did he wanted to kill her mother. One thing led to another, and they ended up in a fight.

After her mother intervention, and Scorch's entrance, her father was killed, but her mother died from wounds shortly after. Smash kept blaming herself about the death.

Together, Scorch and Smash went to Scorpion Den and at age 8 and 6 respectively started their own gang called the Thunders.

Smash encountered an animus once, who had a crush on her. He made her invicible, but the spell went off after a sad incident with a firescales she had - he melted half of her face accidentally.

Throughout her life, she had many adventures with her sister, and both of them went out of them relatively unharmed. The animus died, and Smash actually grieved him a bit.

But the worst shock in her adult life came five years ago, when her sister got murdered and all the gifts from the animus destroyed. She changed her name to Scorch, in honour of her sister(and also joking about her melted face).

The murder had deep impact on her and she became far more aggressive.

### SUMMARY

Grew up near Ice Kingdom, watched her brother get frozen to death trap made by her father to kill her mother, killed him but her mother also died, she blamed herself for it.

Moved to Scorpion Den, had crime adventures with her sister, got even more traumatized when her old animus friend died and her sister also died near the same period. She changed her name to her sister's and just kinda lived, grumpy. Until the book...
