Tempest

Tempest is a young IceWing dragonet hatched only months after the War of SandWing Succession. Her mother, Algid, had her with an unknown soldier during the war.

Appearance
Tempest is a very striking dragon. She has dark, blue-black scales that fade to ice blue on her underbelly. Her wings are covered in ripples of cold blue. Her eyes are silver and highly reflective, a trait she often uses to scare servants in the dead of night.

Personality
She lives up to her name in all possible ways; she's fast, hotheaded, and extremely messy. All the while she is still, somehow, the apple of her mother's eye. Algid's normal lack of patience and compassion doesn't apply to her parenting style; she is as devoted a mother as any. This has resulted in Tempest in being a bit of a brat, especially around the other dragonets of royal descent. Despite the coddling, her mother is a firm believer in fixing what you break - and the servants know better than to risk the wrath of the angry IceWing just to follow the orders of a dragonet.

Tempest likes to spend all her time outside and has found more than a few friends in the dragonets of castle guards. Oftentimes she'll be found roughhousing with them, much to the excitement of her mother and horror of the IceWing court.

Abilities
She has all the standard abilities of the common IceWing; frostbreath, resistance to intense cold and light, as well as the ability to blend into the night, due to her unusual colouration.

History
To say that her family was displeased when Algid returned from the war with an egg would be a slight understatement. Of course, it wasn't the fact that her daughter had been in a brief relationship with a lower-circle soldier that bothered them; it was that Algid had decided to keep the egg, rather than give it to the lower ranked parent or abandon it in the wilderness. After all, a dragon who already had a child was a much less desirable marriage prospect.

Unfortunately for them, their displeasure and attempts to persuade her not to keep the egg resulted in her becoming more and more determined to keep it. This argument did not result in any slight upon the dragonet, even when she hatched looking so odd, but rather the rest of the family made it their personal mission to support the dragonet, because strange, unwanted family member or no, Tempest was their kin, and even if they dissaproved, they would protect the dragonet with their lives.

As such, an insult to Tempest is seen as an insult to the whole family. There's been many a time where a newcomer to the palace mistakes the dragonet for 'half-nightwing scum' and calls her out as such, and as a result, is given a rather harsh response from anyone within earshot.
