From a time when Rainwings still kept track of their children and mates, Lassina lived a lonely life condemned by her heritage and abandoned by her conniving parents. Expected to be treacherous and decieving, only one dragon in the entire Rain Kingdom trusted her fully and they were very close...

Despite their closeness, Lassina doesn’t quite love her enough to allow and be complicit in said dragon’s plot to murder Queen Fairest and Queen Connivance. Regardless of how she was treated, she would hate more to give them all the impression they were right about her; Lass being an ultimately good person at heart

Her flame was devestated to find her betrayal and cursed her into a Violet-Green Swallow, but didn’t have to heart to truly do her harm... which Lassina took advantage of to secure the sure “eternal” safety of the Rainwings from her love.

Bestie, she moved on and became a writer who detailed what her life was like and even preserved stories about her first love... but never released them and was very happy with her second love, a Rainwing male (bisexual gal, we stan)-

He is the second born son to a Sandwing couple entrenched in poverty, only having an older sister (Angola) in his life alongside them.

Very family dedicated, stealing and thieving is how Alequi contributes to keeping his family afloat (in light of the lack of non-sketchy jobs available to him due to his looks) and works at it tirelessly to lighten the burden his parents and big sister have

A burden he and his sister both agree they contribute to more than they’d like with their Rubber Stinger Syndrome and need for metal caps on their stingers to stay in good health

But when given the chance to work tirelessly for himself without his family’s welfare on the line, he loves practicing his slieght of hand to do tricks and is undeniably a social dragon

Which is probably why when a traveling performer with unique colorings offers him to join the group he’s in... Al has no reason to say no

He is a good boy- best boy, he cares so much but has his priorities-

Hatched in a system of caverns—in this world, the same caverns that would’ve become Jade Mountain Academy—within Nightwing territory, Starclawer was an experiment to the adults around her.

Kept under the world, knowing only stone and dim lights and dragons of black-ish scales, she was examined. Her keepers curious of how far poly dimorphism in hybrids could extend and greatly surprised by her and her peculiar features.

Dual-colored eyes, mix match colored limbs, claws dipped in the same patterns as the underside of her wings. Starclawer was never treated as the child she was, merely a novelty and test subject in the study of hybridization.

Her main guardian though—Mimicry—wasn’t nearly as jaded as the dragons that examined her for fire breath or frost breath—or red, blue, or purple blood—and took the time to teach her how to speak, read, and write. Though he never called her Starclawer, she chose that name for herself and he acknowledged that.

Eventually, she got a “roommate” in her cavern den. A strange looking mix of Sky and Ice, a chimera hybrid literally split down the middle with slitted in his back between his dorsal scales. She named him Kourihi, and took to him as though he were her little brother.

The last dragonet Mimicry brought in before he eventually took all three of them and left the facility was a blue and pinked Sandwing girl with a cap on her tail. Starclawer called her Nechmayi and the little family grew.

Now having to live in a world she only ever read about is strange and frightening. Nerve wrackinn even but Star would never let her fears hinder the curious drive of her little siblings so she weathers it.

At least she still has her father figure, Mimicry, there for her. She holds no ill will to him, not when he was both doing his job and treating her more kindly and humanely than anyone se ever did.
