**Sabrewing** is a young enby scavenger who was born and raised in Valor, working as a Wingwatcher. Xe's able to transform into a SkyWing-IceWing hybrid at will due to an experiment of sorts caused by Zoilus. Since then, Sabrewing often wanders around Pyrrhia, though xe visits Valor from time to time. Sabrewing is one of the main protagonists alongside Wisteria and Chinkapin in *Oscillator*.

Appearance

Scavenger

Sabrewing takes more after Daffodil than xe does with Violet - xe has long dark hair with faint brown highlights that reaches down to xyr back, which Sabrewing prefers to wear in a single braid when possible. Xyr skin is a darker shade of tan, accompanied by darker specks on xyr cheeks, neck, and arms. Xe also has her bright blue eyes and a somewhat stocky build. Xe has a few scars on xyr arms, legs, and face due to falling out of a pine tree while skygazing on xyr first day as a Wingwatcher.

Xyr casual wear consists of either the forest-green Wingwatcher uniform, or a simple grey tunic that xe would probably wear for weeks if xe could. The band holding xyr braid together is a light gold colour, which if not wearing it in xyr hair, xe will wear it like a bracelet on xyr left palm. On xyr right arm, xe wears an animus enchanted dragon-sized ring like an armband - it's a dark shade of grey with an amethyst inserted into it.

Dragon

As a dragon, Sabrewing takes on the form of a SkyWing-IceWing hybrid, being predominantly SkyWing in terms of build and colours. Xe has light orange scales that are akin to a fireless SkyWings' scales, though xe's able to breathe fire, albeit not very well - stemming from Sabrewing being unsure how to do so and being partially IceWing in this form (they cannot breathe frostbreath, however).

Scales of a darker shade of orange run down xyr back, arms, tail, face, and wing membranes - contrasted by xyr pale, icy blue underbelly and bright blue eyes. Dark blue-grey IceWing spikes cluster behind xyr SkyWing horns, trailing down to xyr tail tip. Xe has a lighter shade of blue-grey that colours xyr wings. On xyr right arm is xyr armband, which is worn more like a bracelet in this form. Sabrewing is around the size of a four year old dragonet.

Personality

Sabrewing is reserved, typically considered aloof by others. Xe would rather observe than interact with other people (or dragons, for that matter), and tries to keep xyr distance. Even with people xe's close to, Sabrewing is relatively quiet most of the time. Sabrewing would much rather read a book instead of socialize. Xyr introverted nature surprised most residents of Valor, considering xyr parents are Daffodil and Violet - this doesn't bother xem much, though.

Xe's also quite insecure, specifically over being a Wingwatcher and xyr status in Valor. Sabrewing has always looked up to xyr moms, but always feels that xe'll never live up to what they did when they were young Wingwatchers. Xe tries showing off to others when xe actually has the courage to do so because of this, but always feels more insecure than before, still comparing xemself to their moms. Similarly enough, xe also gets anxious easily, especially around those xe doesn't know or if it's someone xe has a crush on - it doesn't help that xe already stutters from time to time as well. This anxiety does not make xyr feelings of insecurity any better, if not worse.

Short-tempered would be another good way to describe Sabrewing - xe tries not to show it, but is easily frustrated with others, and is prone to snapping. Xe finds xemself most irritated by xyr younger brother Ixia, but still cares for him.

Sabrewing is something of a romantic and a flirt, specifically with those xe knows for certain that xe's interested in and that xe feels xe's close enough to do so. Xe's bad at flirting and knows it, but tries anyways. Sabrewing can be rather impish as well, which often plays into xyr attitude around those xe's interested in - which can be annoying for some, while others might find it to have its own sort of charm. Though xyr impish nature comes out with others that xe has a platonic bond with as well.

Despite xyr struggles showing it at times, Sabrewing is tenderhearted towards xyr loved ones, and simply wants to feel acknowledged by them for being Sabrewing - not for being the offspring of two well respected Wingwatchers, not for being able to transform into a dragon and back, or anything like that - just for being xemself.

Abilities

* The enchanted armband that xe wears allows xem to transform into a dragon at xyr own will. However, xe wasn't particularly good at controlling it at first and still needs practice - it is also affected by any strong emotions Sabrewing has.
* As a dragon, Sabrewing has the powerful wings of a SkyWing. This does not mean xe's good at flying, as xe plummeted into the ground several times when first trying.
* In xyr dragon form Sabrewing can breathe weak fire, which is due to the IceWing in xem. Still, xe finds it useful for when xe wants to stop and rest while traveling.
	+ Likewise, Sabrewing can't breathe frostbreath.
* Due to being partially IceWing in xyr dragon form and somewhat due to being half SkyWing, Sabrewing can withstand colder temperatures than what xe would as a scavenger.

*Falling Fronds*

WIP

Sabrewing is around nine years old. Xe and Ixia are indirectly mentioned by Daffodil to Forest and Moth when explaining why she and Violet can't let Leaf stay at their cave for the time being.

*Oscillator*

WIP

Sabrewing is a protagonist of *Oscillator*. Xe's stated to have been captured by the HiveWing-IceWing known as Zoilus for a year, though at this moment in time Sabrewing calls her Glare. While xe is waiting for Zoilus to feed xem, Sabrewing intentionally scratches the ground with xyr nails, irritating her. Xe finds it amusing, admitting to xemself that it's one of the few things xe has that entertains xem. Xe thinks about xyr moms and younger brother, thinking about how much xe misses them.

### Breeze

Sabrewing and Breeze are close childhood friends. Xe used to have a crush on her, but has since lost those feelings. Xe can be easily annoyed with her at times, and is prone to starting arguments with her due to both of their short tempers and Breeze's mild arrogance.

Chickpea

"*Chickpea's amazing. No matter how frustrating I might be for her to deal with, she still sticks with me and tries her best to support me. She's a great friend and partner.*"
Chickpea is one of Sabrewing's closest friends, and xyr girlfriend. (wip)

Chinkapin

"*She helped me communicate with dragons and had the patience to continue doing so even though I was acting like...not going to lie, a lovesick idiot in front of her almost all the time. She's great, and hopefully a friend?*"
Sabrewing once had a crush on Chinkapin - aside from that, xe admires her a lot, and constantly tries to impress her. Xe finds xemself stuttering and blushing a great amount whenever xe's around Chinkapin. Chinkapin helped Sabrewing learn some Dragon while xe was still getting used to xyr dragon form.

Daffodil

"*Well, I mean...she's my mother. I know I fight with her more than either of us would like, but...I really care about her and appreciate that she tries to understand me.*"
Sabrewing loves xyr mother, though xe fights with Daffodil more than xe does with Violet due to their more conflicting personalities. Xe appreciates that Daffodil looks out for xem along with Violet.

Ixia

"*My younger brother...yeah, he's really annoying. And yeah, I try to stay away from him most of the time. But I do love him - it's just really hard to express it when considering he's an extrovert, and I'm...clearly not.*"
Sabrewing finds that xe's easily frustrated by Ixia, despite being siblings. Ixia's more bright and cheerful nature irks Sabrewing, and xe tends to avoid interaction with xyr brother as much as xe can, whether it be at home, school, or at a shop. This aside, Sabrewing does care about xyr little brother, albeit xe has a difficult time showing affection for him.

Kiyoshi

"*I have to confess, I really don't know him all that well. But from what I've seen, he seems really nice? I wouldn't mind spending more time with him.*"
Leaf

Sabrewing enjoys spending time with him when xe can, viewing him as a sort of uncle figure. Xe often goes to him for advice on things xe doesn't feel entirely comfortable with talking to Daffodil or Violet about, and used to spar with him in xyr spare time. Xe also enjoys hearing about the things he did when he was xyr age.

Violet

"*...Is it bad to say that I have a bias towards one parent over the other? She really seems to get why I love reading so much and sometimes writes for me. She's amazing.*"
Violet is Sabrewing's other mother, and is the one who Sabrewing is closer to. Sabrewing loves that xyr mom understands xyr love of reading, and still lets her read to xem in the current day. Xe loves reading her published works from time to time.

Wisteria

"*Wisteria is fun to annoy, what can I say? He's hilarious when he's annoyed with me! But all jokes aside, he's probably my best friend at this point. I respect and trust him, even if he's being irritating.*"
Sabrewing has some level of respect for Wisteria, though xe doesn't show it much. Xe enjoys purposefully irritating him, mainly due to the fact that Sabrewing finds his reactions hilarious and over the top. Sabrewing trusts Wisteria greatly, and views him as one of xyr best friends.

Wren

Zelkova

"*I probably wouldn't have become a Wingwatcher if she didn't insist that I join with her, so I guess I'm grateful for that. She's kind of irritating, but I mean, she* is *my cousin...*"
Zelkova is Sabrewing's cousin. Sabrewing is often annoyed by her, and back during xyr time in Valor, xe was constantly pulled into trouble by Zelkova. Despite this, Sabrewing cares about xyr cousin and shows affection for Zelkova by bringing various items xe finds on xyr travels when xe visits Valor.

Zoilus

"*I loathe her entirely. If she hadn't taken me, my brother would still want to be a Wingwatcher. I would still have a normal life in Valor. I wouldn't be gawked at and only thought of as the human who could transform into a dragon. It's her fault.*"
To say Sabrewing hates Zoilus would be an understatement. While Sabrewing has come to embrace xyr abilities later on, xe still holds resentment against her for taking xem from Valor and testing out her experiments with animus magic on xem. The only thing xe's grateful for is that Zoilus bothered to feed Sabrewing while xe was captured, but that's all.

Trivia

* Sabrewing's favourite genres to read are mystery and poetry.
	+ Upon finding out that dragons had their own form of books, Sabrewing likely spent hours reading them and refused to leave the library in JMA during one visit.
* Sabrewing prefers to remain in xyr dragon form whenever xe travels or is in a dragon settlement, but usually stays as a scavenger.
* Sabrewing is able to understand Dragon in xyr dragon form but is hardly able to speak it - at least, fluently.
	+ Sabrewing eventually figured out how to understand Dragon while in xyr human form, but doesn't particularly speak it much to begin with.
* Sabrewing's MBTI is ISTJ
