### History

### Creator

Darkmoon

Created and owned by Darkmoon, don't steal or use without permission.

## Appearance

Ptarmigan is a slim, sharp IceWing. Her eyes are a dark navy blue that looks black. Her main scales are pure white like snow, but she has spots of light silver all over. Her underbelly is also silver, although slightly lighter than her spots. Her wing membranes have a metallic sheen, and they match her underbelly. Her build is thin but strong. While doing experiments, she usually wears a white lab coat.

## Personality

Ptarmigan is serious and down-to-earth. She was raised as the daughter of a trade mogul, and is used to working under high expectations. She is very strict about not letting the experiments escape, but she does actually act somewhat kind. She tends to turn to work to get rid of her unpleasant memories of losing her brother, who she still misses.

## History

Ptarmigan was born in the same clutch of eggs as her brother, Bear. They were raised together by two wealthy fur trading moguls, and both Bear and Ptarmigan had good lives. They had everything they wanted. Ptarmigan developed an interest in science at a young age, buying test tubes, wires, various metals, and other scientific things with her allowance. She became quite good at making things and brewing helpful serums at a young age. Her best childhood acheivment was making a fully functional prosthetic leg for a friend she knew in a coastal town.

She went to a private school for most of her dragonethood, and then was sent to a new science-focused university when she turned seven. She got two degrees: biomedical engineering and surgery. She had an internship at Queen Seal's hospital for a year before being hired by Queen Tiger as one of her scientists. Ptarmigan accepted, and she left the Ice Kingdom at the age of ten, in the year 5341 AS.

She enjoyed her job. She didn't like performing tests on Other dragons, so she did her best to steer clear of that area of the scientist job, leaving that to other scientists to do. She specialized in military-grade augmentations, usually designing and creating robotic experiments and bionic parts. She unknowingly designed the collar that enslaved her brother when he was transformed into Pride. Ptarmigan had a small part in the creation of the Sins, mostly designing and building their control mechanisms. She built the NightWing diversion, and she helped with several others. Her main achievement was the creation of the EV3s.

About a year after she was hired, Ptarmigan was reunited with her brother. She helped heal him, then continued to work for the lab after he left. When Queen Tiger was killed and the lab was destroyed, she fled and returned home, where she found a job as a surgeon in the outskirts of the Ice Kingdom.

Though another version of her is still alive, the original Ptarmigan was killed in the big blast. As of 5354, she's dead.

## Relationships

Pride: She loves her brother, but still thinks of him as Bear. They went separate ways after the lab. Perhaps one day they'll find each other again.

Queen Tiger: Ptarmigan was indifferent to her boss. She was never fond of Tiger's policies, but she loved the challenge of stretching the boundaries of engineering. She wasn't sad when the RainWing queen died.

EV3: Ptarmigan is proud of her creation. She doesn't know what happened to it/her after the lab, but she might build a new and improved version one day.

## Trivia

- For her voice, I imagine the Russian doctor from Henry Stickmin

- She's one of the characters who I am likely to revamp a bit in the future
