Hey, Buddy!
What kind of dragon are you? Speed stinger, but I'm alone. Help me find my pack?
How old are you? Eighteen winters.
Are you a boy or a girl? Female. I know it's hard to tell.
Where do you live?
I lived on an island north of what the humans called home. Then our leader took us off our island in search of food, but I became stranded on this strange island. I suppose this means I now live on what I hear the humans calling Dragon Island. I miss my home and my pack.
I'm afraid I lost my eyesight long ago. What do you look like?
I look like nearly every other speed stinger apart from our pack leader. My body is sleek and slender built for running. While my arms are short, my legs are long with powerful muscles that can endure great speeds for longer periods of time and allow me to jump over most obstacles with ease. Wings sprout from my back; however, rather than be used for flight, they act as a balance at high speeds giving me full control over my direction. These, the frills on my legs, and the largest frill on my head help me cut through the air when I run. Shaped like a giant almond and made up mostly of jaw, my head is also aerodynamically built. I think you likely get it now: I'm built for speed and running and nothing much else.
So there is little obstruction to my view, my bright red eyes sit at the front of my head. My head frill starts just behind them and goes all the way to the beginning of my long neck. Continuing the theme of long and sleek, I have a long tail that ends in a barbed stinger. This stinger holds a paralyzing venom and I warn you I will use it.
My main color is green. My stinger is the only part of me that is not; it is red. I do have some blue spots on me, especially on my frills and wings, and over the top of my body. I didn't have any scars until recently, at least it will likely scar. My left leg was injured in a fight pitting my pack against some strange mixed dragon pack mounted by human riders. I have trouble running now. This is the reason I was stranded when the rest of the pack followed our leader home. It will likely scar because I have been trying, perhaps too enthusiastically, to get up and run on my leg.
Tell me a little bit about yourself.
Members of my pack had mentioned quite frequently that I was a gentler soul. Sure, I was often stern with the young when they needed discipline and I was a fierce fighter when protecting them against threats. Now I must be fierce to protect myself while I am alone. I feel so vulnerable. Frankly, I feel so depressed. I doubt I can give you a full answer to this... I will try.
I have a hard time trusting anyone that is not my pack. But now, considering my circumstances, I suppose that is everyone around me. That is a daunting thought. I mentioned they considered me a gentler soul. That might be because I hate being alone. Did I mention that already? I never felt safe alone so my pack was not only my family but my security. This would be why I protected it so fiercely - I could not bear to lose them. If I ever find my pack again, I promise I will always protect them and do my best to stay with them.
If I had to give you a guess, I suppose I would be very hostile towards a new dragon and especially towards humans. But considering how scared I am, it may not take so much effort on their part to at least have me no longer strike at them. I can promise you, once you have my trust, you become part of my pack, and as part of my pack, you have my protection.
Where do you come from?
I was born in my pack and raised by the pack to become a productive member of the pack. Everything I learned was for the pack or for me to become a better dragon in order to strengthen the pack. My life was normal for a while. We hunted together at night and bunkered down to sleep during the day. Then our leader would take us somewhere else to hunt again. But everything wasn't ALWAYS about hunting. Since I am female, I was also tasked to protect and help raise the pack's hatchlings and adolescent dragons. I was useful because of the speed of my sting. No one could get past me and my sisters to harm our young.
It was a normal move that took us to a strange island. Most places are strange for the first time so I thought nothing of it. I crossed the ice bridge following our leader with the rest of my speed stinger family. Little did I know, I was fated to be stranded on this island separate from my kin. We had been here for nearly three seasons without trouble. But prey started becoming scarce here too.
We had gone about our normal routine of search and hunt. Find a place to rest during the day and hunt for food at night as always. The humans in the immediate area just didn't understand. We were there because we were hungry. We stung them because we feared being harmed. There was no thought in our minds to eat them or their pets, just their food storage. I know! It's not good to steal but it was autumn, we were hungry, and they just had so much food. In the chaos that ensued, I was injured. A spike passed through the upper muscle of my left leg - a muscle essential to jumping high and running fast. There was no way I could follow our leader home and the hatchlings would not have been safe here had the pack stayed. I was no longer of use to my pack. I vowed to heal and return to them.
Now... I just need to do the healing part. Still, it is hard to focus on healing when you hunger and you miss your family. I feel depressed most days and lost the rest. There is no home without my family. I must find them again.
What's your main goal?
I would very much like to find my pack again. I need to have a purpose and a pack gives every speed stinger purpose.
What are you good at?
I used be very good at high-speed running and I plan to be again, once I heal. Still, I should warn you, just because my leg does not work will, that does not mean my tail is slow. My pack had said I may be the quickest stinger in our group. I am very good about moving my tail to sting someone without them even noticing the tail's movement. I am actually quite proud of this.
What sort of things do you dislike?
I hate being alone. Being alone equates to being lost and depressed to me. I am afraid of humans. They are the reason I've been separated and they wander this island. What if they find me?
I don't like eel nor am I a fan of salmon either. I dislike the feeling dragon grass gives me too so I tend to avoid those fields.
Is there anything else you want to tell me?
Not me but this Fury person seems interested in finding someone who may wish to be the person who finds/found me. I think she wants to help me find my pack again. In a basic summary, I was injured and separated from my pack. Someone finds me, takes care of me, and essentially (eventually)... becomes my new pack? What? No! I want MY pack not some cheap replacement. (pm me if interested. It's interesting when a character fights with her creator.
