Anastasia Wrenwing
(‘Ana’ from close friends and family)
gender+: female/bi ⟡ age: 25 ⟡ rank: team eagle rider ⟡ power: healing hands ⟡ dragon: Aurelius

Phys. Desc. -
Anastasia is 5 feet and 5 inches tall with a somewhat muscular build, a pale skin tone, and wavy, caramel-colored hair that falls just above her shoulders. Her face seems to be conventionally attractive and she has long eyelashes that cover dark amber eyes. Her face is freckled, a random assortment of scars are scattered across her body, and she tends to wear her hair in a small ponytail with the exception of side-swept bangs. Anastasia is someone who cares for her appearance and considers herself to have a bit of an interest in fashion, tending to wear beautiful and expensive clothing (typically loose fitting, flowing, and patterned) and makeup, no matter how impractical. She enjoys wearing different layers (usually black leggings and a sleeved undershirt) underneath fancier clothing to help it last longer, and she adorns herself with shining gold jewelry from her dragon’s hoard- particularly in the form of two simple golden bands around her wrists. She does occasionally wear clothing more suited to their job, primarily when she’s about to do something stupid and doesn’t want to ruin her fancier linens.


Power Desc. -
Anastasia has the ability to heal both herself and others simply through close proximity to her hands. She could probably learn how to heal through close proximity anywhere, but it’s simply the most convenient with her hands, as she already uses them for so many things. When she holds a hand above an injury, it will heal any damaged bone or tissue while applying some amount of pain relief, usually resulting in more of an itching sensation than pain as it heals. This power does not automatically “fix” things in cases like joint dislocation however, and will require proper procedures to first set things how they should be and then healed. The healing from her hands is quicker if she uses both compared to one as well as if she actually touches someone’s injury compared to hovering above it. Healing a more serious injury, or healing something very fast, can sometimes make her head spin— and, in more serious cases, pass out.

Additionally, Anastasia’s magic has caused her own pain tolerance to become stronger, which is good if something needs to be done in the heat of the moment, but can lead to her finding a nasty surprise later or losing a little too much blood at times.


Personality -
Anastasia is a fun-loving and reckless adrenaline junkie, continuously pushing through her own boundaries to, in her words, “live a little.” She takes life in stride and makes impulsive decisions that sometimes require her to call for help, something that she generously takes advantage of. Some may caution her to make better decisions or even call her stupid for some of the choices she makes, although Anastasia would argue that she has her own reasons for living this way. The life of a dragon rider is a particularly dangerous one, and having already sealed her fate with the bond she has with her dragon, she is going to try to live to her fullest before the inevitability of the job’s danger catches up to her. Even if this perspective concerns her dragonic partner a little, the blessing of healing has been well-used and she hasn’t been seriously injured just yet.

Overall, Anastasia is a pretty social and kind of nosy young adult, sometimes showing a bit of a flirtatious attitude towards others and generally ruled by curiosity. Ana is not above being blunt and asking potentially invasive questions, her lack of fear even extending to her trying to have conversations with other riders’ dragons (which usually ends in her own apologizing profusely). Anastasia quite likes attention and sometimes needs to be reeled back in by her friends to keep her out of trouble.


Background -
Anastasia did not come from a background of support, prestige, or training that quite a few of the other riders had experienced. She had been orphaned at a young age and was taken in by her aunt, who did her best to provide for her sister’s child, but did not have very much to offer. A guilt-filled Anastasia decided to take matters into her own hands to provide for herself and began to pickpocket- first from people in large crowds, and then, with growing confidence, places that could pose more of a threat to her. She was still quite young as she enjoyed the thrill of the steal, the chase, and the victory of getting away with it, all the while getting a taste for the finer things and keeping it a secret from her caretaker. It was like this for a little while— pocketing money and other expensive things, helping out with her aunt’s funds, and finally “earning” enough that both of them had relative security and could even afford nicer things. Anastasia had played things off for long enough with the excuse of having picked up a job or two, an illusion that disappeared when someone recognized her in their stolen coat and reported her. Anastasia was used to the rush, the escape, and the danger, but when she returned home to see authorities at her aunt’s door, the caramel-haired girl finally realized the extent of her actions. She wrote a quick note of farewell and gratitude, slipped it through the window, and took off for another city. Ana didn’t want to cause more trouble for her guardian, but she was also scared of what would happen if she did get caught.

Ana lived on her own for a little bit and tried to make an honest living through various tasks, but her tendency for excitement led her to some dangerous places. One such job had her investigating a lead on a cave that was filled with gold. It was obviously suspicious, but Anastasia had faith in her skills, needed money, and was promised a payment too hefty to ignore even if she didn’t find anything. A quick pop-in to the cave to check it out led to Anastasia discovering more gold than she’d ever even dreamed of seeing, and before she could pop back out, she was staring into the face of a crimson dragon. Since the woman hadn’t lived there very long, she was unaware of the rumor some of the townspeople had about a dragon who could heal any wound that lived nearby, and her ignorance was taken advantage of in an attempt to reach the civilians’ “payment” to the great beast. No wonder the job had appeared too good to be true. Extremely fortunately for Anastasia, this dragon was more concerned for her recklessness than anything, and ended up choosing her for a bond that would change both of their lives forever.

・Anastasia totally uses Aurelius’ hoard to pay for fun things since he doesn’t care about it

Aurelius
(‘Aurel’ from anyone)
gender+: male/pan ⟡ age: ~140 ⟡ clan: dawn clan ⟡ power: Healing touch & aura ⟡ rider: Anastasia

Phys Desc. -
Aurelius is a slightly larger than average western dragon, with scales a deep crimson running along his back and shifting to a rusty color before reaching his underbelly. His wing joints are tipped with single-digit claws, and the membranes are the same golden-orange as his ventral scales. Aurel boasts a golden, spade-shaped spine on the end of his tail, and bony spurs on his fore and hind legs, a sharp spine ridge, and nose horn. He also has golden-orange plates on his muzzle and two sets of spiked horns- the innermost being mostly straight, while the secondary set curve more like a ram’s. All of Aurel’s scales are tough, shiny, and spiked, and he has frilled ears. His eyes are a deep azure with black slits, although they do not appear to focus much as he is blind. Another notable part of his appearance is a smaller tear on the membrane of his left wing.
(drawing of him here)


Power Desc. -
Aurelius is a dragon of the dawn, with highly effective healing abilities both if he touches someone with an injury as well as if they even stand close to him. This aura does, however, use up more energy than the former, and he will need to eat a lot if he uses it. While the touching-healing he needs to focus on (at most) two figures at a time, his healing aura effects everyone close to him (although it does not stretch as far if there are more). This healing affects both injuries and minor illness, however if one is born with a condition or an injury takes away a sense like one’s sight, the healing does not extend to it. Aurelius’ lack of sight is one such condition, which he used to be a little bit bitter about.


Personality -
・Aurelius values kindness, teamwork and collaboration, and prefers the company of those who are calm and polite.
・general traits include being selfless, humble, responsible of others, curious, and earnest
Aurel tends to be very calm and mild-mannered, even under pressure. He is a rare outlier in the usual vanity of dragons, being quite down to earth, and while he does try to avoid other non-dragons as to not scare them, he is not against using his healing abilities for those who ask. Aurelius is generally kind and follows along with others to not be left out of things, as he admittedly has a fear of missing out and is also a very curious dragon. He likes to be introspective and has a particular value for stories, especially since he cannot actually ‘see’ the world for himself. Aurel is also a very earnest dragon who is a little bit insecure about having to rely on his human and other dragons, and tries to be independent where he can. He views his partnership with Anastasia as a bit of a concerned mom friend but also somewhat contractual, since he made an agreement with her to help him fly. Since Aurel tends to be calm and respectful in most situations, he has a regal air about him that he is unaware of.


Background -
Aurelius hatched without sight, making up for it with his other senses, reliance on others to help occasionally, and the eventual learning of a sort of echolocation. Despite Aurel overcoming his lack of sight, his guardians in the clan encouraged him to stay in Heaven’s Peak, especially with the disappearances of dragons. He did not like this very much though, and wanted to challenge himself and go on his own adventure.

This led to him finding a cozy-enough cave close to a human civilization but still in the depths of the woodlands, both of which gave him enough sounds to listen to in order to learn more about the world and himself. One of these sounds was a great storm in the middle of the night, one that was followed by the smell of fire and shrieks of humans. Aurelius could not ignore such a thing, and while the fire had been tamed, the sounds of despair from the villagers continued. The crimson beast sensed the fear of himself as he approached, but in summoning his power, most of the sobs were quelled and he returned to his home. This was the beginning of decades of visitors to his cave, from the city and beyond as rumors spread. He healed those who asked, earning quite the reputation and offerings of gold in return. This very much puzzled Aurelius, but he took the gifts in anyway as to not be rude.

After amassing quite a bit of human wealth that he had no use for and could not even catch a glimpse of, Aurelius returned from a hunt one day to yet another visitor. This one, however, was clearly trying to stay as silent as possible, and with a chirp, Aurel found her attempting to make off with some of the gifts he had been given. He was annoyed at the act, sure, but considering his reputation as a healing but still-quite-fearsome dragon, grew a bit concerned at the risk and spoke to the human. This created a bond of dragon and rider, and in having another set of eyes, Aurelius decided to take a gamble and have her guide him in the sky. With a little human tilting his antlers to “steer” him along, he feels quite a bit more confident with flying quickly and precisely, especially as Anastasia communicates the view in front of them. He does find some of her more thrill-seeking behavior a bit fun despite also being concerned, and even allows her to guide him in risky maneuvers just for fun sometimes.


Other -
・Aurelius is blind, and relies mostly on his hearing and telepathy to tell who is who
・Despite his apparent “hoard” of gold, he does not have any attachment to it. He assumed he was given it because of the old stories of dragons hoarding gold, although he will let anyone take from it so long as they ask first. He does also have an agreement with his rider to send some back to her aunt every so often though
・Aurelius chirps sometimes to use echolocation, so I’ll try to communicate that when he attempts to see (it might just be implied sometimes though)

Ooo, I love them both.

[iqtrash]

Accepted! Love the characters

[cocogerber13]

Thank you both! ^^ I’ll try to get some posts for them up later this week!

They’re also open for any prior relationships with the others if anyone is interested! Since Anastasia is very social, I imagine she would have quite a few friends if anyone would like their character counted among them. Similarly, Aurel would probably try to rely on at least one or two other dragons to help keep him informed of situations as well.

[iqtrash]

Okay!

I am working on a post, I'm not sure when I'll get it up. We found out my son has a food allergy and he's still recovering.

[cocogerber13]

That’s perfectly fine, and oh no!! I hope everything goes ok, and that it’s not super serious :(

Any of mine could definitely be friends with her.
