## Summary

*Really! Snooping into my business? ...Well if you must, go ahead I guess...*

Žeravica is a Night-Sky Hybrid. Her parents are Sparrow, a SkyWing, and Oracion, a NightWing who are both high ranking nobles in the royal court. Zeravica enjoys music, playing piano, occasionally singing in private, and sciences. She also loves languages and linguistics. She hopes she can continue to pursue her hobbies throughout her life. She also loves games such as chess, checkers and playing cards.

## Appearance

*I do appreciate the compliments -thank you- but oh! While you're here, care for a game of cards?*

Zeravica has a palette mainly based around fiery colours, with a light salmon colour for her mainscales accompanied by hints of purple, and a pale yellow for her underscales. Her horns are grey, reminiscent of ash, and her wings are a startling deep purple and blue, like a night sky. Her eyes are a bright green, contrasting with her scales. Zeravica herself becomes a bit awkward when complemented on her looks and though many consider her pretty, she would disagree. Though her scales are bright, she doesn't necessarily stand out from the crowd.

In terms of height, she is smaller than average and quite agile. she has relatively small talons and keeps her claws sharpened yet short ready for combat and suitable for playing piano.

Her build is majority Skywing, with a slender neck. Her snout is slightly shorter than average. Her main horns are that of a SkyWing's, longer in length, but her spine spikes are closer to a NightWing's. She has a relatively small body, and large NightWing wings. Her four legs also have the build of a NightWing, but like the rest of her are shorter and slightly thinner. Her tail is (no surprise) also shorter than average and is blunt at the end, like both NightWings and SkyWings.

She rarely wears jewelry as she believes it gets in the way and is a hassle to put on without any practical use. She is, however, often seen with a diadem especially at royal events but she only wears it when necessary. She does carry a small satchel filled with items such as playing cards, small scrolls and skyfire.

## Personality

*Y'know, they say curiosity killed the cat, but I ask so many questions the cat might as well have been me!*

She is quite social and insists on correct etiquette for herself, and despite how important her role is to her, she tries not to let it rule over the rest of her life. As a result of this, she can sometimes be seen flying around escaping the pressure. Her extroverted nature can lead her to be rather talkative, which can put at ease many dragons, though can often be a bit of an annoyance to others trying to speak.

Žeravica can also appear quite relaxed and confident, which can make her seem unflappable though this isn't always the case. She often speaks before she thinks which can make her words seem a little bit random or unthoughtful at times but she is working to improve this.

She does suffer from a bit of jealousy now and again, but it is not a very prominent trait.

She feels as if she’s overall quite a good friend, often humorous and sincere. However, though she does not lack empathy, she often presents solutions in response to problems rather than reassurance which can make her seem rather to the point and unempathetic.

When angered she’ll speak much more formally than usual with a curt tone to her. Though It depends on the situation, she will also often go quiet, only speaking when necessary biting back with a sharp comment even if the dragon had no hand in her anger. Other times Žeravica will be the complete opposite- shouting- though this mainly occurs with her siblings And doesn’t last for long. Luckily for her, she is not that quick to anger, and will either be quick to forgive, or need some time to defuse in which after that time she’ll be ready to forget all about it.

## Backstory

*"Oh, don't you just love stories! I mean, mine isn't much to look at, but there really is an art to writing about them dontcha think?"*

A salmon red egg with yellow stripes cannot sit still. It hatches way before you expect it to as if the young hatchling couldn't wait to explore life's mysteries. It radiates confidence and looks up at you curiously.

Zeravica's story has for the most part been a happy one. She hatched early, and as soon as she learnt to speak everyone soon tired of her questions. Luckily, however tiring they may have been, they were often answered and Zeravica gained a greater knowledge of the world. When her siblings were born she was delighted, though as they grew, a cordial sibling rivalry grew between them. She feels like she gets along well with her parents, though she still thinks she'll never get used to their 'tough love.' Her father is a little bit more forgiving, though Zeravica doesn't often see him due to work.

Growing up as a high ranking dragonet, she loved it. The life of freedom and duty. However, as she began to grow up, she found demands placed on her, in a desire to control her every move. Fighting against it, she did grow resilient, but it did take it’s toll on her, and as a result of years of stress and demands she’s often seen flying around snowy tundra around the kingdom.

When Zeravica first started school she was ecstatic. Now, she can start thinking about what she wants to specialise in, though it's not her top priority. She thinks she has other things to worry about like her social life and her current studies -though that still doesn't stop her from researching everything she finds interesting.

### Family

Zeravica knows that overall, she has a good relationship with her parents. Though they get along most of the time, she occasionally disagrees with them and dislikes how they still have a rather strong grip on her life.

In terms of siblings, Zeravica has three, all who are younger than her. She wishes she could have more to do with them, but her duties and studies often hinder her from doing so.
