Name:
Farfalla
Age:
17
Gender:
Female
Species:
Dragon-Wolf
Personality:
Farfalla is outgoing and loves meeting new people and other animals who could be potential friends. However, she can be quite impatient when it comes to something she has looked forward to for days, weeks, or even months. Stubborn could also be used to describe Farfalla, especially when it comes to something that she really has no desire to do, she will put her paw down and give her honest opinion about what you're asking her to do. She does not get upset easily, and when she is upset its usually only for a short period of time and then she will find something to brighten her mood. There are times when she just wants to be alone to do something that calms her, such as hunting or just reading a good book. Sports is one thing she loves because she can spend time with all of her friends and not think about life for a while. Farfalla is loyal to her friends and will do anything to cheer them up that is in the realm of possibility, and in her power to do so. Fighting is one of her strong suits, although she really doesn't like to fight, she can and will when necessary and she knows when is the right time to fight, and when is the right time to admit defeat, or try and negotiate peacefully. She truly isn't afraid to speak her mind and tell the truth, but she only does so when asked. Many have described Farfalla as brutally honest, which in a way is true, but her philosophy is 'Do unto others as you want others to do unto you' meaning she would like people to be totally and completely honest with her as she does for them. She is not one to go behind anyone's back and talk about them, or give them a complete lie/half truth, even if she really doesn't like them.
Background:
Born to a dragon father and a wolf mother, Farfalla was always viewed as different. She hatched out of a pretty aquamarine egg the colour of her father's scales and weren't both surprised when their little cub had a pair of aquamarine, leathery dragon wings. At the time her mother had had no clue that her daughter's father, who had been in his wolf avatar at the time, was truly a dragon until after she had the egg, which in itself was extremely strange. Her mother stuck around long enough to witness the hatching of her daughter and then left right after to let her child be raised by her father and his tribe-mates. She was the beautiful-est thing her father, named Cyril, had ever seen in his life. The dragonets were forbidden to play with the little dragon-wolf pup due to Cyril's fear that they would hurt his little butterfly as he called her, which gave her her name, Farfalla, meaning Butterfly in Italian. He spent countless hours each day teaching his little Farfalla to hunt, swim, and everything else a wolf needed to know to survive. They grew closer and closer each day, neither father nor daughter talked about the missing presence of Farfalla's mom who had never bothered to see how the little dragon-wolf was doing... ever. She had asked once when she was about three months old, and her father, not having the heart to lie to his daughter, told her and Farfalla's mother was never spoken of again. Days passed, a year passed, two years, and then Cyril finally decided it was time to move on to a more important part of Farfalla's training. He shed his wolf avatar and grew into the large dragon with gorgeous, shiny aquamarine scales he had been born as and now Farfalla really did look like a butterfly compared to his size. He explained to her as he had so many other times that the leathery things on her back were wings and she would be able to soar high like the birds, and maybe even a little higher if she learned how to use them. He would never let her try, but now he was going to teach her how to fly. She was a fast learner, never giving up whenever she couldnt do something, and eventually she began to fly with her father and his tribe-mates whenever they went hunting, but of course could never keep up with them. Eventually she stopped going on the hunts and went on her own way on foot where she met some of her closest friends, one mainly being a lone wolf with odd orange bracers who she later found out was named Dagger. She had been wondering through the woods one day when she came across a noise that sounded like a cross between a whimper and a growl of a wolf, and a particularly angry wolf at that. When she marched out of the wood expecting to get attacked, she instead found a wolf dangling upside down from a tree, a hunter trap latched pretty tightly around his ankle. She couldn't keep a straight face and began laughing while the other wolf just glared at her with his orange eyes. What caught her notice was the glowy purple necklace around his neck that was attached to a rather pretty white chain. What could she say, she was a dragon's daughter... and shiny things were just so pretty and caught her attention easily. "Do you need help getting down?" she asked him, not once taking her eyes off of his necklace. It took him forever to answer, all he did was glare at her and dangle there from the tree looking so helpless she couldn't help but laugh at him again. Finally a ground out "Fine" could be heard and she spread her wings and launched herself in the air and began gnawing at the rope. It broke free after hours of chewing and he fell to the ground with an oomph. She landed on the ground and asked if he was alright, but before she could even help him he sprung up and left. Everyday after that she kept bumping into him and helping him with whatever situation he could have possibly gotten himself into at the time, and she knew she was falling hard for this wolf she barely knew. Unlike others of his kind, he seemed to accept her for her wings. He wasnt much of a conversationalist, but whenever she chattered as she was trying to help him get out of whatever situation he seemed to be in that day, he'd always have this look in his eyes as if he were listening and hanging onto her every word. Three weeks passed and the mysterious wolf had finally told Farfalla his name was Dagger and he was the leader of the Blood Moon Tribe. She was elated to know his name finally, having already told him hers. She went home in high spirits that night, and her father was suspicious, but never said a word to her about it, just being glad she was truly happy for once, and as he hated to admit it, he knew that she was becoming more and more restless as the days passed having no one to talk to but other dragons who seemed to think she was inferior to them... And then the unthinkable happened three days later, a dragon hunter had caught Farfalla's father in a trap and had cut him in his hearts after trapping him to where his soft-scaled underbelly was showing. The other dragons of Cyril's tribe had killed them off after letting out an alerting bugle, which Farfalla had heard and stopped mid sentence in telling Dagger about her life in the dragon caves, and she sprang up and went running with Dagger at her heals. They arrived in the lower caves easily reached on foot with a ring of dragons who all had their heads bowed for their beloved friend. Farfalla let out a cry, which her still barely alive father heard, and his last words were 'Keep flying, my little butterfly...' and he was gone. Dagger tried his best to cheer her up, but nothing worked. He had taken her back to his tribe where she now lives and between him and her now best friend, Crescent, she got out of her depression and is a full member of the Blood Moon Tribe. However, her story is far from finished. She will forever keep on flying, just as her father told her to do.
Use:
I will use her as a character, and if I get her, her whole background will be written up as well as a story or two of her life. I will order art of her, and draw art of her myself. She may even be my Fursona's mate, but I'm not entirely sure about that yet.
Other:
This is a BEAUTIFUL character. I'm glad to have the opportunity to get to apply for her. :]
Her personality may be a WIP, but as of right now I am pretty satisfied with it ^-^... Wow this took me all day >< I hope you enjoy it :] Thank you again.
