Dislikes:

Personality
{{calm | self-confident | protective | optimistic | loner

calm
Ulõkam is very calm, despite her fearsome appearance. It is, in fact because of this that she is so calm. When the human found her and gave her all those robotic parts, she had to stay calm and trust him, otherwise who knows how it could have ended..
self-confident
Confidence in others is important - even though Ulõkam has trouble trusting others - but self-confidence is needed even more, because if you're not confident in yourself, there's no big chance that you'll manage to achieve your goal, especially not if it's finding the meaning of life.
protective
Ulõkam is very protective indeed, even though she might appear fierce. She is so protective because of her own experience; when she was younger, she did, in fact flee with another WtD (which is not mentioned in the history, but in the short stories), who didn't bother protecting her from the hunter, but ran ahead of her and let her take all the shots. She has sworn to herself to protect all those dear to her.
optimistic
After her encounter with the hunter, you'd think that Ulõkam would be quite a sad and depressed WtD. On the contrary, she's very optimistic when it comes to accidents, because she knows that it could've been much worse. She specializes in looking on the bright side of things and has already saved many lives because of this.
loner
Even though most of Ulõkam's personality shows that she's a very cheerful WtD, she's actually quite a loner. Despite her being helpful to others, they fear her because of how she looks. She hasn't yet found another WtD who is not this afraid of her, or, who might even themselves be partially robotic like her. This is why she lives as a loner. (for now)

Special Skills
{{healing | defending | fighting | calming someone down

healing
After many years of caring for herself in the state she's in, Ulõkam has become a marvelous healer. She has already healed many other injured WtDs on her journeys, her favorite patients being the children, because they weren't as afraid of her as the adults. But they still never wanted to stay with her for a longer time because even after she helped them, as they're still afraid that she's a bloodthirsty creature.
defending
Of course, while Ulõkam was healing other hurt WtDs, there were beasts of the forests that would sneak up and try to attack the injured. Ulõkam defends her patients with her life, but because of her partially metallic body, she's never even come close to giving it away. That's because her metallic parts are made of stainless steel.
fighting
Whilst fighting the group of WtDs in the abandoned city, Ulõkam discovered her impressive fighting skills, which were even more enhanced because of her so-called "armor". She fought them off with hardly any scratches and only one small wound.
calming someone down
While in Ulõkam's care, most WtDs are afraid. Either of her, of the creatures of the forests, or of death itself. Ulõkam has a gift of being calm, which she can gift to others while they're in her presence. She uses soothing words that put the injured WtD to sleep or she tells them a story of their choice. (You can read some of these in the "short stories" section)

Exchangeable Tail-Tips
{{The basic one, seen on the WtD, and these

Scissor
This tail tip can open and close as Ulõkam wishes,
can be used to cut things or to chop things to pieces

Tri-Horn
A tri-horn tail tip, like Poseidon's spear, it has three
spikes at the ends

Icy Spikes
A tail-tip with icicle-like spikes

History:
{{875 Words, I think I overdid it, so if you don't want to or don't have the time to read it, you can skip to the short stories ^^
When Ulõkam was still very young, her family encountered a hunter. Before she could look around, her parents were lying motionlessly on the ground. Ulõkam jumped from side to side, trying to avoid the hunters shots as well as possible, but due to her young age, he managed to get a few bullets through her flesh anyway. She ran and ran, as fast as she could until she was sure the hunter had given up following her. Her wounds were deep, and she didn't know where to go, she limped weakly through the forest she was in until she could no longer walk. Her injuries weakened her too much and she collapsed under the roots of a grand looking oak tree...
When the young Whiptail woke up again, she felt no pain, though she was unable to move. No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't do more than blink and flex her right arm. She waited and waited, examined the room she was in which looked similar to the forest. Ulõkam knew that it wasn't the real forest, she didn't smell the fresh tree sap, nor hear the footsteps of the little bouncing rabbits. This space was so small, and she felt alone... Suddenly, some of the trees moved apart and a weird looking creature came in. It was a human, in a white lab coat and thick gloves to protect him from Ulõkams still sharp claws. Of course, she tried to jump at this "human", but she was still unable to move. She started hearing a voice in her head, it was this weird one, talking without moving his lips, and as he spoke, she understood more and more; "don't fear me little one, I shall do you no harm. You must be wondering why you can't move? That's because I'm still caring for you. As soon as you'll be ready to use your new legs and tail, I'll let you up", he said, calmly as ever. Ulõkam just nodded and closed her eyes, ready for another sleep.
When she woke up this time, she could already move. The human had set her free from that paralyzing grip. She was a bit stiff at first, but got used to it quickly and the mechanic arm and leg were starting to move smoothly, like her normal legs would've done. She then once again heard the voice in her head: "I see that you've gotten up, everything seems to be working fine, but please, let me oil you a bit so that you'll be able to run smoothly, silently and incredibly fast", he said this time. She waited for him to come to her room, but when she smelt the smell of the oil she backed away. "Don't worry, just concentrate on not smelling it and you won't", the human said. Ulõkam concentrated as hard as possible, and in the end she didn't smell the oil at all. "See? Later, you'll be able to do that without as much concentration as now, you'll get used to it."
After the oiling was finished, the young Whiptail could move around smoothly, silently and quickly, just as the human had said. Two days later, she was let back out into the wild where she spent a good part of her life, until one day she ended up in a abandoned city where she met an aggressive group of Whiptail Dragons, twice her size and much older. As the first one approached her, his claws gleaming in the setting sun, Ulõkam swiftly jumped back, when he approached her once more, she didn't back away, she attacked. Her red claws gleamed like freshly stained with blood and her golden and dark red markings flashed up out of nowhere. Soon after that, the Whiptail was crawling away, but that didn't stop the others from advancing. There were five of them, massively built and all hungry for fight. Ulõkam was afraid, but not planning on giving in. She gathered up all her courage, and leaped for the one closest to her. She landed on his back and clawed down his spine. Of course her tried to attack her back, but she always ended up showing him her right shoulder, covered in stainless metal. All the attacks were nothing for her.

After a long battle, she had beaten the whole group out of the abandoned city. She lay there, once more as exhausted as after she had fled from the hunter many years ago. A few days later, another group of humans who were examining this city, found her in one of the small alleys. She didn't like it when they tried to remove her metallic parts, and she was happy when they didn't succeed. After many failed tries of taming her, they gave up and put her in another one of those rooms that looked like a forest. Almost immediately a few other humans turned up and they seemed interested in her. She already knew that she would have to chose one of them to be her owner and master when the right time comes, and she already saw her coming in through the door and looking at her with the most caring look she had ever seen since her mother died.

Short Stories (told by Ulõkam herself)
{{The Getaway
"Kami!! Run as fast as you can!! Don't stop and don't look back, keep on running no matter what happens!!", those were the words that kept bouncing back and forth through my head, the last words I heard my mother cry out to me. I was running, as fast as my legs could carry me, I couldn't get the image of the bullet killing my mother out of my head. But she told me to run, so that's what I did. Suddenly, I heard a loud bang, felt pain shoot up my tail. I tried to move it so that it would be a harder target, but still enough not to hit anything. There was another shot, my tail again. I started to lose balance, but I had to keep running, I had to survive. Then, I saw golden scales flash up in front of me. Another Whiptail!! "Wait up!! Help me!", I shouted, but he kept on running, not bothering to look back and help me escape. Two more shots, both bullets scraping past my left arm, I felt the fierce pain burning like fire throughout my arm and tail, and because I was still very young and not so swift on my feet, I tripped over a root that was sticking out of the ground. Not my right paw!! I had twisted it, but I continued on, half running, half limping. I felt some shots through my spine. 'That'll never grow back!', I thought to myself, 'if I survive, that is.' I had to swallow at this thought, and because I wasn't concentrating on the path enough, I scraped my left leg along a tree. The blood was spilling, the pain was unbearable. 'He's going to catch me!!', I panicked, and dared look back to see where the hunter was at. A few seconds after I looked back, I immediately regretted this. I felt pain scorching through my muzzle, but I had to run, I had to try and escape! I then gave my last effort to sprint ahead. I had lost him, the hunter wouldn't be able to keep up with me anymore. When I arrived at a large oak tree, I finally slowed down and stopped. I looked around, then limped slowly over to the great oak to lie down between it's roots. I could now feel the pain, more than before, I didn't know that later, I would never feel this pain again. I fell asleep, between these roots, my only wish was to survive...

{{Free again
Aaah, the fresh air, the smell of real trees. I was so glad to be outside in the wild again, free after what had happened a few days ago. I nodded at the human who had so to say "healed" me from the deep wounds I had carried to the oak tree with me. I was now partially made of metal, not only flesh, but I was happy, I was now unique, and wanted to prove to the world that even after a grave accident like this, it's still possible to live a happy life. I wandered around the forest a bit, until I smelled the sweet scent of meat. I hadn't ever tried to hunt myself before, but I had to, now, that there was no-one left who could care for me. I remembered how my mother used to crouch down, I tried to copy it, and believe me, it wasn't easy with all this metal. But somehow I managed to crouch down and sneak up to this creature, so close, that I could hear it's tiny heartbeat. I pounced at it and caught my first ever pray; a tiny brown mouse. I was incredibly proud of myself that day, but I promised myself to practice my landings, as this one probably scared away all the prey in this part of the forest. I looked at my lucky catch, and realized just how hungry I was! I ate up the little mouse and felt better right away. After this small meal, I decided to search for a den as I needed a place to stay. The human's place was no longer my home. After a few hours (or so it seemed) of searching, I managed to find myself a little, but cozy cave. Two good things in a day, I was starting to get lucky! And when I looked outside again, I realized how long I had been searching, the sky was darkening and the night had begun, I desperately needed to rest.

{{The first encounter
I had already lived in this cave for a few weeks and was just starting to feel comfortable, when suddenly I heard something rushing in my direction. It was another Whiptail, I could tell. She was in pain, but not hurt, I watched her run past my cave and decided to follow. When I caught up to her, she was lying under the roots of a tree, on her side. It was obvious that she was expecting Fluffies. As I walked closer, I saw the shocked expression on the mothers face, which soon turned into an angry snarl. "Get away from me, you beast! Leave me and my Fluffies alone!", she growled, and it was my turn to be shocked by her harshness. Then I remembered - I no longer looked like one of them, with my partially metallic body. I looked at the ground, and spoke, "I'm sorry if I scared you, miss, but I'm just another Whiptail Dragon, like yourself", I explained. I saw the untrusting look on her face and continued, "when I myself was still a very young Fluffy, me and family were chased by a hunter. He killed everyone, but I ran, and he only shot me a few times. Please, allow me to take care of you until your Fluffies are born, I've had experience with healing." The mother still didn't look like she trusted me completely, but she nodded. The fact that I was also once a normal Whiptail must've gotten trough to her. I led her to my cave, from which tunnels led to other caves. I hadn't explored them all yet, but I knew that one of them led to a great cave behind a waterfall. After asking the mother about what type of cave she'd like, I led her to a medium sized cave with a sandy ground and a crack in the ceiling which let light and warmth pass through. There were also a few pieces of wood and leaves lying at one end, forming a comfortable nest. "Please, do make yourself feel as at home as possible. I'll go get some herbs, if you allow", I said, and she nodded. I was happy that I had met someone else in this ever so lonely forest, and picked up some herbs from my storage caves. Thyme to calm her down and Chervil for an aching stomach. I also took some Borage Leaves in case she'd be low on milk or have fever. When I got back to the cave in which the mother had lied down, I realized that she had fallen asleep, but also that she was having torturing cramps. The Fluffies would be arriving soon!! I decided to let her rest for a while after her tiring run, and softly woke her up afterwards. I explained to her what the herbs were and what they do, and she swallowed them without hesitation. I saw that she felt better and relaxed on her nest, "they'll be coming any moment now", she said, a smile spreading across her face. The next day, there were three little Fluffies lying next to their mother, all strong and healthy. She thanked me for my help, even though she still didn't completely trust me. On the day when the Fluffies were ready to leave the cave, I wished them luck, and hoped that someday, I'd meet someone who would trust me and that I could make friends with.

{{An unusual Visitor (starring Venom, my main WtD)
It was another wonderful sunny day, and I was strolling through the forest looking for fresh herbs to fill up my healing reserve. After the mother left with her Fluffies, I had already had many more visitors who needed either a place to stay or some medicine to heal wounds after battles or just a simple stomach ache. This day, it was quieter than usual, the birds didn't sing that loud and I saw far less squirrels climbing up and down the trees. Suddenly, I saw something bright blue and very pale that looked nearly like glass. I had a closer look and realized it was an eye, a blind eye. There was a long scar going right through it. Then, this creature turned around and looked at me with it's other eye, this one shining bright amber, ready to fight. The creature pounced at me with an unskilled leap and I realized it was another Whiptail. I dodged the attack and pinned him down, preventing him from clawing at me. "Alright, alright I give up!!", he said, letting his body go limp. I hesitated for a moment, but let him go in the end, noticing that he was no match for me anyway. I walked around him in circles, he still hadn't got up. "What were you thinking, attacking me like that?", I demanded. "I don't know.. I'm hurt, tired and hungry, my mind goes crazy when that happens..", he sighed revealing a scar on his left front paw and two more scars on his tail. "So that's why your jump was so naff?", I smiled, this Whiptail didn't seem to be afraid of me! "Come, let me take you to my cave. I'll give you something for those wounds", I said, and he looked at me thankfully. I helped him up and led him to my cave. Once we were inside, I asked, "What's your name anyway? And what brings you to the forest?" "I'm Venom, I was born in the desert and had many encounters with the wildlife there, they're quite aggressive, and my spine got the most of the damage", he replied. I hadn't yet realized how gravely his spine was torn apart, even though it hadn't received as much damage as mine. His horns were broken off at the tips as well. "Wow, I didn't know life in the desert could be so hard! But I'm sure it's not as bad as being chased by a hunter!", I laughed, "look at what he made of me!" Venom examined my body closely, looking at the sharp spikes that were placed on my shoulders. "Gosh, it must be hard living in that... stuff", he said. I was pretty sure he meant the metal, and I explained that it's not that bad once you get used to it. A few days later, after I had healed his wounds as well as possible, Venom thanked me, and left to search for a cave of his own. He was that first friend I had made while living here, and I hoped to meet him again someday.
