## Backstory

Cajio was born without knowing her father Vork, and this has bothered her ever since she was old enough to understand why all of the other dragons had Fathers AND Mothers. She was introduced to the world of hard work and discipline early on because of her mother’s financial situation. This made her hardened, even at a young age; she grew up very quickly because she had to understand a lot of things dragons her age usually would not have to. She is naturally quick on her feet so the jobs she was given usually included tasks that needed to be done over long distances quickly. She made a few friends along the way, but none of them very close because she spent most of her free time working.
She didn’t use her Element until she was introduced into School, this is when she learned that, due to her parents both having strong Electric Elemental bloodlines, she had a clear sense of how her element flowed through her, and thus it was very easy for her to wield and control it. Since this talent was ‘given’ to her, she grew kind of lazy going into her teen years, despite her “hard-work-pays-the-bills-style” upbringing. This new attitude started to irritate her mother, especially when she stopped working quite as much, and therefore bringing in less money used to sustain them both. The only thing that seemed to catch her attention was anything involving her element, but she didn’t have much cause to use her element very often. It Grew tense in the household. Around this time Cajio’s School sent a messenger to her mother, the message was a suggestion/invitation from the educators. It asked that Leo consider sending Cajio to the Keepers to apply to study under the Electric Keeper as an applicant to the Apprentices. Leo disregarded this at first, while she was proud and actually secretly prideful of how much control Cajio had over her element, she didn’t want her daughter to go. She didn’t want to see her off and have her never come back again like Vork did.
Soon this brought back memories to Lynimha of what her father had done to her, her father had kept her in a state of seclusion from society, and also kept her from her dreams of wealth and happiness. Lynimha couldn’t do to her daughter what her Father had done to her; she had to at least give Cajio the choice!
Leo brings it up to Cajio, and Cajio perks up, something sparks within her that Leo hasn’t seen in a long time, something that was only there during the simple happiness moments of her short childhood. Cajio showed her spazzy-self again like she did occasionally when she was younger.
She was exited, she really wanted something new to happen, really she just wanted to break out of the damn slums and she also wanted some new excitement on her life. She talked extremely fast for a few minutes, panting along with it. Leo was happy for the first time in a long while, they talked like they hadn’t for years. This is when they both realized that this must be for the better; it must be the turning of a new chapter in both of their lives.
While Leo was happy that her daughter had finally found something that would make her happy, she was sad that she would have to see Cajio leave. The next week was spent packing Cajio’s things and getting ready for the trip. She was so exited to be a part of something she had heard so much about!
Note: Mother’s Parting Advice: “Bring a boy home and I’ll kill you both, understand? \*Laughs\* Love you.”
Also, later on Cajio learned that her mother could live in the same city due to the Keepers funding, so she sent for her as soon as she could.

## Relationships

**Iris Frostwing**

The first person that Cajio met when she first arrived at the (City where the Keepers are at). It was a new place, so Cajio wasn't sure as to where to go. So she asked a passing dragon where the New Apprentices were supposed to go, the dragon happened to be Iris Frostwing. She was also a new Apprentice and helped her find where she had to go, and they have been friends since.

**Elecyris Sparktail**

Cajio, being the Electricity Apprentice, trains under him. Cajio has grown to respect him because of his history, abilities, honor, and all around adaptability. She's learned things about her Element from him that she didn't even consider possible. She not only treats him as someone to train with, but also as a good friend and she is willing to trust him a lot. The only thing she doesn't like is the repetition and routine of training, which is something Elecyris punctuates.

## Extras/Notes

• In reference to her horns: she has 3 of them: one in the middle and 2 in the sides of her head. Cajio has to be careful sometimes because they curl downward and jab her neck if she moves her head too quickly.
