## Story

### 2021

Dove was one of the first hatchlings of Stormbringe and Floralia, precisely, the fourth they had. Born with the name 'Scrubby', she was thought of as one of the descendants that would fight with them to earn treasure and fame across Sornieth. However, out of the first seven hatchlings, Scrubby refused to get exalted. As more dragons came and claimed the clan, Stormbringe and Floralia temporarily left it and passed the torch to Scrubby whom, with the aid of a Scroll of Renaming, called herself Dove.

### 2022

*To be written*

Nearing the year's end, Dove decided to venture what she once called her home underwater. The bauble on her tail stopped glowing at a certain point, losing track of how deep she went, and something knocked her out. The last flickers revealed mortal injuries and a different shape. Dove was the same... only on the colors. Stormbringe saved her life, but he was turned into a similar beast. Both became Undertide dragons, and their genes shifted completely.

More of their newfound kin guided them to The Deep, where they discovered more dragons that ended up having their breed shifted. Dove's stay wasn't long and left with Stormbringe upon realizing the clan's possible concerns. When returning to the Starwood Strand, Floralia recognized them, but it was the first stage of failure of the clan's current state as none of Dove's friends recognized her.

When the shorter days of the year happened, what once were Dove's rivals were getting betrayed by one of their members, causing them to shift and disband. Minty was tired of becoming independent, and thinking Dove could be as strong as she looks, they promised to redeem and became part of the clan. Axiom and Blaze were getting conflicted with Olygar, and already having fought at Dove's side in the past back when she was a Fae dragon, and knowing her strength, decided to join the clan as well. If they could be properly together, they could grow stronger than they were already.

### 2023

With Skyfrost's defeat and the disbanding of the court, Dove's clan fully got rid of their old hobbies to begin fresh with their lives.

With the arrival of the Aether dragons, Dove and her clan gained a new ally and a new enemy, Squishy and Streak, respectively. When getting to know both hatchlings, Squishy was eager to train with someone while Streak went elsewhere, intimidated by either Minty, Redbean, or Speedline. When Squishy grew into an adult, Dove's clan accepted training him, and to this date, they continue training him.

Dove grew more connected to Axiom and Blaze, becoming the clan's specialists on gathering items for their hoard. More dragons joined their side while their hatchlings continued to be sent to combat the other flights or joining other clans in exchange of Gems.

But just when they thought nothing could go wrong, Axiom disappeared after the eleventh Brightshine Jubilee. Dove and Blaze left the gathering to their allies while they searched for him, having no luck at doing so. Before the eleventh Thundercrack Carnivale, Squishy told them that he had seen Axiom at the Shifting Expanse, but something was not right. Dove scolded Axiom for having vanished without warning, though she accepted his newfound body, stronger than when he was a Pearlcatcher.

Dove missed bonding with Floralia, who had grown attached to the clan's Elemental Masters. It did not mean that they did not get along with one another; however, when Redbean and Epsilon notified Dove that they found Floralia near the Crystalspine Reaches, turned into an Undertide like her. More than the shock of Floralia's new body, Dove was relieved that she survived the pain that Dove and Stormbringe first endured. Stormbringe, however, saw this as a possibility to reconnect with Floralia, as they could now return to the past and send the family's pride to combat other flights.
