Scoundrel's Luck

Scoundrel's Luck (hatched 2022) is a Spirit allied unicorn bonded with Skandar Smith. He is allied to the Spirit Element, the first bonded unicorn in over a decade of this element.

### **Biography**

Scoundrel's Luck was born when his destined rider, Skandar Smith, appeared to him with the other destined 13 year old's to the Eyrie. When Skandar found his egg, Scoundrel hatched for him by piercing his horn through the egg and into Skandar's hand, creating the mark and the beginning of their bond.

Immediately after birth, Mitchell Henderson accused Scoundrel and Skandar of belonging to the little known and illegal (at the time) Spirit Element, or Death Element. Eventually, Mitchell, along with a few others who end up being in Skandar's quartet, they help him to cover the tell tale Spirit Blaze with black ink (and later polish).

Scoundrel grew quickly over the first year at the Eyrie, mastering magic and techniques of flight. During the course of the year, Skandar and Scoundrel developed the ability to feel each other's emotions, something considered very advanced for their first year level.

As time passed, Scoundrel became more and more wild due to Skandar actively blocking his attempts to use their own allied Element, which would have given them away as being allied to said Element and ended with imprisonment or death. This caused a great strain Skandar due to Scoundrel not understanding his rider's fears.

This caused trouble in their training sessions as Scoundrel would often buck wildly and refuse to obey Skandar, often blocking the magic Skandar would attempt to summon, except for the Spirit Element. When they met their blacksmith Jamie, Scoundrel attacked him due to being so "spirited" at this time.

As time moved on Skandar and Scoundrel began to understand each other as Skandar had found out how to control Scoundrel better by allowing the spirit element into the bond they shared, alongside another more legal element. This worked for a time until their final race of the year which Scoundrel refused to race when Skandar once again blocked their allied element. They were saved by Mitchel Henderson and Red Night's Delight and came in 13th place in the cup, allowing them to both to remain and go into their second year at the Eeiry.

### **Personality**

Scoundrel is a very mischievous unicorn when compared to his quartet. He is smart and very good at flying. Scoundrel has a love of Jelly babies, brought on from an early age when they were given to him from a packet Skandar stole from his sister, Kenna before he came to the Island. Red jelly babies being his favorite. He did however go off of them when he became more wild when Skandar didn't allow him to use his allied element.

Scoundrel gets on with his fellow unicorns of his rider's Quartet, Falcon's Wrath, Red Night's Delight and Silver Blade. He gets on best with Red as they are both very mischievous, though Skandar admits he believes Scoundrel is the brains behind their operation. He also seems to have a fondness for Whirlwind Thief, Amber's unicorn, much to Skandar's dislike.

Scoundrel doesn't like everyone and is wary of strangers as seen with Jamie, and to a certain extent Mitchell, as he disliked both and actively attacked Jamie at first. He does however have a soft spot for Kenna Smith, as when they met for the first time he was extremely gentle with her and flew excellently with her on his back.

Since the start of their second year and being allowed to use their allied element Scoundrel's luck has become a lot happier and less rowdy.

### **Powers and Abilities**

Being a unicorn Scoundrel has access to powerful elemental magic. He is able to summon Earth, Fire, Water and Wind like all unicorns and control these powers in a way not able to be done by wild unicorns.

Scoundrel is also a Spirit allied unicorn which means he has access to the Spirit Element. This allows him to use his powers on almost the same level as a Unicorn allied to another element. He is also able to take on the form of the elements themselves, having done fire and water.

In addition to his powers Scoundrel is a very natural and athletic flier. More so than a lot of the other unicorns of his year. This even caught the eyes of the peregrine society whom he joined with Skandar.

## Physical appearance

Scoundrel's Luck is a male unicorn with black body, onyx black horn and black-red eyes. As is typical for unicorns, he is tall in stature and large in size.
