**Pikl** is the dragon companion and student of Elira Pendora as part of her job as a Dragon Tamer.

## Etymology

Pikl's name may derive from "pickle", and Elira has revealed that she herself has chosen the name. One of the candidate names she had for Pikl was "Killer Queen" since she thought of Pikl as her stand (like from Jojo's Bizarre Adventure), but decided not to go with it for fear she would be sued. However, this seems to be true only in Stream Reality where she could get sued for something like that, meaning this may not have been a proposed name outside of Stream Reality. Another proposed name was apparently "cucumber".

In any case, Elira has stated she chose Pikl's name because she thought it was cute, and also was able to choose Pikl's name because they couldn't yet verbally speak and didn't really have much of an opinion on the matter anyways.

## Appearance and Personality

Pikl is very young for a Solar Sky Dragon, only having been around 21 years at debut in Stream Reality against a lifespan of millions of years. As such, Pikl has a lot of growing to do and is still quite small. Pikl has purple wings and a tag necklace that says "queen" because Pikl is, of course, a queen. Pikl has numerous eyes, four to be exact, but one of them is is bandaged due to some unfortunate accident.

Pikl's personality is very childlike which is seen in how Pikl does what Elira tells him like how a child would do what his mom tells him. Pikl is seen to like friendly competition, like the playful rivalry he has with Selen's dragon friend, Ember. While at this stage Elira simply regards Pikl as a pet, with more growing it is likely she will begin to see Pikl as more of an independent being and possibly eventually even an equal. Still, the fact that Elira considers Pikl more as a pet speaks to Pikl's current immaturity and lack of ability to be independent.

## History

### Story Reality

Pikl was born only in 2000 and was raised by Solar Sky Dragon parents until eligible to be signed up for the Dragon Tamer program. When Elira's human form was 12 years old, she was re-entrusted back into the program, where she was given Pikl to train, as well as many other dragons. However, she has taken a liking to Pikl moreso than the others, if only because Pikl easily fits on her shoulder.

Before meeting Elira, Pikl was being taught how to fly when a strong gust of Heavenly air sent Pikl tumbling into the trees of the Heavenly Fields below. In the process, a stray twig caught Pikl's fourth eye, damaging it. It is expected that within the next hundred years as Pikl gains healing powers the eye will be fully healed.

Pikl was eventually able to join Elira on Earth after the Dragon-Human Reveal in Arc 12. Elira is rarely seen without Pikl after that.

### Stream Reality

Pikl also appears in Stream Reality and appears with Elira on stream. Thanks to the power of Nijisanji, Pikl is able to appear with Elira whenever she wants, even while on Earth, although she usually keeps it all a secret to prevent a public scare. Pikl was given a Virtual Avatar in the Virtual World and a name prior to Elira's debut by Elira's mama and Elira respectively.

## Powers and Abilities

As a fledgling dragon, Pikl has only limited powers. Thus far, Pikl has only demonstrated the power of basic flight as well as the power of dragon telepathy, which enables communication with Elira that cannot be heard by anyone else. Still, Pikl has yet to learn how to actually speak verbally. Pikl also has not mastered form and healing, which explains why the fourth eye has not yet healed.

## Trivia

Pikl likes spicy food so Elira often gives her spicy food to Pikl to eat. Pikl even sometimes makes food for Elira since she isn't so good at cooking.

In Stream Reality, Pikl likes to game and wanted an RTX 3080 from Elira.
