Winger

Winger's official ref.

### Siblings

Machina, the entirely of the Archel Colony (excluding Queen Archel and her various Kings).

### Enemies

Queen Archel, Articula

Winger is an Istemai and one of the main protagonists of The Istemais' Pathogen.

For the first years of their life they were kept under close management by their mother, the queen of the Archel Colony. This was mainly due to the fact they were a twin.

## Personality

They appear as a quiet, socially awkward creature to most people. They show little to no emotion at most of the time, believing emotion to be weakness. They are highly intelligent, and able to figure out new languages quickly like most of their species. They are not very confident in social ventures, but thrive amongst those closest to them. They will treat every new person they meet with the same level of contempt and mistrust, until that person can prove to be more than 'just another drake'. They are bad at getting hints or social cues and will often be blunt in their opinions and statements - which couples with their curse.

They are strong-willed and extremely loyal. They can also be careless and apathetic however, and are shown to use other peoples' emotions against them, though mostly try to do 'the right thing', though often don't know what that is. They rely on Mintie to know what is best to do in situations, though this becomes less so as time goes on.

### Fears

They are extremely afraid of fire, after dying from it for the first time. They will find any way they can to escape it, and if they are disguised then they will usually revert to their original form after seeing it.

## Appearance

Winger has lightish grey-blue scales, a similar shade to a stormy sky. They have beige horns that protrude from the back of their skull, and curve round to stop at their bottom jaw. Their claws are a charred grey, the same colour as their back frill that slinks all the way down their back along their spine from the top of their head to just past the start of their tail. Their eyes have black schlera, with a silver reflective iris, and their pupils are cat-like slits. Their wings are generally vast and their tail is long, tending to curl around their front feet when not doing anything else.

## Abilities and Powers

### Istemai Abilities

Winger has a very high metabolism due to Istemai biology, making them hypervorous. This means they have to seek out food constantly or risk starving to death within a few days. The reason for this is that their body is constantly healing and repairing itself, which is also
what allows them to shapeshift with ease. They have very quick reflexes and are incredibly agile. They have a weak fire that they can hold for a few seconds, before the pain of the heat forces them to stop.
They are also able to spit acid, though is limited in the same way as their fire.

### Personal Abilities (abilities that are not defined by their species or any sort of magic)

They are highly intelligent and very good at working difficult puzzles out.

### Multiversal Gem

This gem allows them to traverse the multiverse at will. It is a sharp retractable blade, used to 'cut gateways into the side of the universe itself, or more', and allow the holder to pass through unscathed. It was presumed to have been created by one of the many Grand Liphanis, or a Gjillie. There are only two in existence, Winger owning one and an unknown Istemai owning the other.

### Truth Curse

This is less of an ability, and more of a hindrance to them. It forbids them from saying anything they believe to be a lie, meaning they have to find work-arounds if they intend to deceive anyone. It doesn't apply to body language or appearance, however, and they can disguise themselves as other people rather effectively.

### The Four Lives

After dying to protect Machina and Eclipse to help them get out of Arsenic's compound, Winger was given 4 extra lives by Ianias to help track down the other holder of a Multiversal Gem. They hold these lives as incredibly valuable, as they want to see their mission through.
