Shadow



Created by Darkcoatlshipper

Appearance
Shadow is a NightWing. He has medium black scales. His eyes are a frosty blue. He has lighter black wing membranes with silver star scales. He has duller scales than most dragons from other tribes due to living on the volcano most of his life. He is also more skinny than usual. He has burns on his left foreleg, tail tip, right talon, middle of his back, and on his jaw. He also has scar on his side. There is a small hole in the membrane near the start of his left wing. He wears an earring made of obsidian and silver.

Personality
Shadow is insecure, but he often acts confident. Only his family and closest friends see the real him, under his confident public appearance. He is also bitter to the other tribes, because they hate him for something he has no control over. He is calm in public, never showing sadness or any emotion more than a little. He is a great dragon once you get to know him, but it can be hard to get past his background, his tribe, and his rough personality. He has a secret love of scrolls.

Abilities
Shadow an blend into the shadows, a NightWing specialty. He can use this to his advantage to sneak up on other dragons. He can also breathe fire. Because of his dull scales and burn marks, it is harder than normal to hide in the shadows. He has also had less practice controlling his fire and using it to fight. He can pretty convincingly pretend to read your mind, but actually can't.

History
Shadow grew up on the volcanic island that most of his tribe lived on, and it was a bad upbringing. He was learning how to act and how to lie from a young age. He was in battle training at age two. His only escape was the library. He would read a scroll and delve into that world. His favorite scroll of all time was about Clearsight, the dragon who saved the tribe.

He was curious when Starflight arrived. The shiny black dragonet was new, and that was a rare occurrence. Soon, the volcano erupted and Shadow's mother died in the explosion. Left with only his father, Forerunner, he began to feel depressed. His mother had always been kind. His father was harsh and loud. Shadow tried to run away from home, only to be caught by two RainWings. He has stayed in the rainforest since, feeling trapped.
