Queen Zephyr

"And for Queen Clivia? There are no official rules stating I can't love her. It's just your pettiness that says it's wrong." - Zephyr to Blazing

Looks
Zephyr is a dark reddish dragon with lighter underbelly and wings. She has orange tinted scales down her neck and back. Her horns and spikes are a brownish color and her eyes are golden-amber. She wears gold rings around her horns, has two small golden wing piercings, a small gold earring, there diamonds embedded in the scales under her eyes, and a heart tattoo on her neck. She is very tall.

Personality
Zephyr is a bit hyper and easily excitable. She is quick to make friends- though less quick then she used to be, having met not so nice dragons. She can be a little obnoxious sometimes. She is completely oblivious to sarcasm and insults. Zephyr is protective of her friends and will do anything to try to save them even if her plans don't always end well. She is very naïve and it gets her into trouble. She's easily scared and when she's scared she cries. She's loyal and adventurous and tries to see the best in dragons. Zephyr is also very messy and disorganized. She doesn't like violence or hating dragons. She does have a healthy dose of fear for Queen Blazing and Queen Lionfish.

Skills and Weaknesses
Zephyr is a superb flyer. Surpassing most Skywings, she is one of the fastest flyers in the tribe. She is very good at what she calls 'fancy flying' which is flipping through the air in complicated loops. She loves flying. She is good at hunting, especially her favorite food: Roasted Rabbit. She is decent at fighting but not spectacular. She likes to paint as is decent at it, she loves to sew as well.

Dragonet Life
When she was only a year, her sister Blazing killed their mother and older sisters in order to assume the throne. Zephyr doesn't really remember her family but she wishes she got a chance to known them better.

Up until she was 4 years old her life was normal, just hanging out in the Skywing territory. But then a Nightwing prince called Aetherstriker found her and brought her on a mission to kidnap/free/idk the dragonets of destiny from the cave they were trapped in. Zephyr got lost on the way and ended up in the Rainforest where she met the Rainwing Queen, Clivia.

Clivia was crying so Zephyr comforted her. The two bonded instantly, both being rather dragonetish and hyper. They snuck into the Skywing palace and played in the arena- not the smartest idea. They met up again and went to the Scorpion den where Zephyr got her head stuck in a coconut and admitted to Clivia she liked her. They became girlfriends.

She met a Seawing Prince called Seahorse who soon became one of her best friends. Unfortunately the Seawings and Skywings were at war so they had to meet in secret. One day while looking for Seahorse Zephyr ran into the queen of the Seawings. Queen Lionfish. At first the naive little idiot just tried to talk happily to her but the queen was having none of it. She imprisoned Zephyr, much to the little dragonet's horror.

Seashorse came and sat by her for most of the time that she was imprisoned. He talked to her and showed her his drawings, which she loved. Accidentally seeing a page in his sketchbook she wasn't supposed to see- a picture of her with a little heart next to it- she felt guilty. Seahorse had a crush on her but she couldn't like him back. She had Clivia after all.

She also met two other Seawings, the Princess Tidepool who became her friend and a dragon called Nautilus who told Clivia where she was for her.

A couple weeks later and Icewing called Permafrost and some Nightwings came to get her but Zephyr didn't want to go- having never seen those dragons before and not trusting them. Seahorse didn't want her to go either. He said being with the Seawings was the safest option for her now. Zephyr didn't want to go with the dragons until Clivia and her brother Sunset showed up. But then Queen Lionfish entered the scene. Chaos ensued which ended with Queen Lionfish killing a Nightwing and Sunset and Clivia taking Zephyr with them.

To cheer up Zephyr Clivia took her to the Sandwing Kingdom where they got matching heart tattoos at a shady Tattoo parlor.

Zephyr went to visit Seahorse and unfortunately the visit ended with him being very mad at her. She flew back to her Kingdom, sad about her conversation with Seahorse.

She met a Skywing called Mahogany who had ripped wings, feeling bad because he couldn't fly as well as other Skywings she helped fix them by sewing black fabric over his wings. The two decided to paint them to make him look like a Nightwing. They also hunted goats together.

Shortly afterwards Zephyr flew out of her room in the palace to find that Clivia and Mahogany were fighting to the death, angry at both of them she tried to intervene which ended up with both of them being a bit salty.

One day while flying near the prisons, Zephyr found out that her friend, Princesss Tidepool was a prisoner. She was supposed to fight and win against two dragons in the arena before she was allowed to go free. Zephyr and Mahogany were very worried about this and when she was almost beaten by the Mudwing Splash, they decided they needed a diversion so Tidepool could win. They decided upon Dragon-Flame cactus and the two exploded one right over the arena. Queen Blazing was /not/ happy. She ordered the guards to catch the two but they were faster, flying away to the Rainforest, Zephyr had just gotten herself exiled.

She and Mahogany joined the Rainwings and lived a mostly peaceful existence- though both were not fans of the vegetarian diet. Zephyr enjoyed being with Clivia and the other Rainwings were nice too. But then Clivia decided to adopt a dragonet. Zephyr was a bit upset because although Clivia was no longer a dragonet- she was 8- Zephyr herself was only 6, still a dragonet. She didn't feel qualified to raise another dragon so she mostly left Cometwatcher to Clivia.

Adult Life
Zephyr came of age, 7, while still living in the Rainforest. She really missed her home and her brother especially, but she couldn't go back and she did have Clivia. She and Mahogany snuck away to eat roasted monkeys frequently.

She had grown much more mature than she had been at 4 years, after being exiled and captured and dealing with Queens from other tribes she was less hyper and willing to trust than she had been before. She spoke with less random empathis on her words. She also asked Clivia to help her learn how to fight. This was a good move because Clivia was an extremely skilled fighter.

Zephyr went to visit Seahorse, wanting to make amends after their last conversation but he was still angry at her and swam down to the bottom of the sea where she couldn't get to him. She tried to reach him but couldn't because of the currents and the fact she was a Skywing, not a Seawing. She came back the next week and he was more willing to talk to her which made her happy.

Zephyr asked Clivia to marry her and Clivia accepted, much to Zephyr's delight. The two decided to hold a party with lots of food.

When all the dragons of the tribes were told by the dragonets of Destiney to go to the Sandwing kingdom to see who the next Sandwing queen would be Zephyr was late. When she got there dragons were fighting and Seahorse and Nautilus were trying to stop the whole thing. Queen Lionfish was ticked off and none of the other queens seemed very happy- including Clivia. Zephyr sat down by Clivia and Mahogany and Clivia told her Cometwatcher- who had ran away, spitting mad at Clivia a few weeks before- had been one of the fighting dragons but she had left.

It was decided that Queens and Dragonets of Destiney should vote for the new queen. Zephyr said that Princes and Princesses should be allowed to vote too and the others agreed. Zephyr didn't quite know who to choose. Xerocole had been her sister's ally but she hadn't seemed like the nicest dragon. Although Fennec had attacked the Skywings she apologized to Zephyr and had tried to stop the fighting at the meeting. Zephyr decided on Fennec and convinced all of her friends to vote for her, which she would regret later.

Blazing attacked the Rainforest and Zephyr, being angry practiced fighting even harder so one day she could challenge Blazing and become Queen.

Mahogany and Zephyr decided they would disguise themselves and sneak back to the Skywing Kingdom to find out Queen Blazing's weakness, which was an incredibly stupid idea but for some reason they decided to do it anyways. After Clivia and Zephyr got married they would leave for the Skywings.

Zephyr visited Seahorse again and the two talked, on good terms again. She mentioned her plan to eventually challenge Blazing and Seahorse revealed he was an animus and could make her scales resistant to fire. Zephyr was very touched he'd help her and also surprised. She had no idea he was an animus. He also offered to be a surrogate father since Zephyr wanted Dragonets of her own.

Zephyr and Clivia got married at a beautiful party Clivia had set up for them. Cometwatcher came and Zephyr was glad to see that she was on good terms with them again. Later Zeph told Clivia about Seahorse's offer to surrogate. Clivia was hesitant at first but when Zephyr told her Seahorse had offered to surrogate for her to and they could both raise dragonets together Clivia was very happy. Then Zephyr told her about her plan to go challenge Blazing. Clivia was worried, but told her she believed in her and that she loved her.

Zephyr found Mahogany and told him about the change in plans. They would not longer sneak into the Skywing kingdom- she had fire-resistant scales now. They would go challenge Blazing directly. She also asked him if he became Queen would he be one of her advisors. He accepted and they planned to leave the next day.

Zephyr and Mahogany left to challenge Queen Blazing in which Zephyr was victorious. The newly named Queen started to change things in the Kingdom. She outlawed arena fighting and created a council. Her goal was to make a Kingdom tailored to the needs of the dragons living there. She met a dragon called Fire and appointed him thad general. After talking to a guard called Flight, Flight was made head guard.

Shortly afterwards Zephyr was out flying and ran into Queen Fennec. The queen argued with Zephyr and berated her for taking the throne. She was sheltering Blazing and was going to help her kill Zephyr. Zephyr was horrified and felt a little betrayed seeing as she was the main reason Fennec was queen.

Soon afterwards Clivia and Zephyr had their dragons ((Surrogates by Seahorse)). Zephyr named hers Prince Thermosphere, Prince Whirlwind, and Princess Zodiac. Clivia named hers Prince Tropic and Princess Venus. The couple were extremely happy with their dragonets and Zephyr started teaching them to fly, delighted to have flying mates. Zodiac especially took to flying. Zephyr took Whirlwind, the most Seawing of her three, swimming where they encountered Seahorse.

Zephyr had been looking for Seahorse when she met Queen Lionfish. Still intimidated by the older queen, Zephyr talked to her and the two had a pleasant conversation. Queen Lionfish agreed to be allies with the Skywings and they discussed Fennec.

Mahogany and Zephyr traveled to the Nightwing Kingdom in bad Nightwing disguises, Mahogany being Fearspeaker and Zephyr being Doomeater. They talked to Queen Stormcloud and successfully allied themselves with the Nightwings.

Clivia, Mahogany and Zephyr were discussing plans for a new palace they were going to build in between the Rainwing and Skywing Kingdoms when Fennec and Blazing came to attack. They eventually left after a long argument and no blood was spilled. Afterwards when Mahogany and Zephyr were talking Zephyr learned he had a son called Dew with Princess Tidepool, a Seawing. She made her brother, Prince Sunset, ambassador to the Mysterywings and Seawings.

Zephyr and Seahorse met up and he told her about his Seawing love interest. He admitted when they confessed to each other he changed the subject. Zephyr was horrified at his lack of romance.

Cometwatcher came to meet Zephyr and to introduce her to her new 'Quing' Avalanche, an ice wing. Zephyr was delighted to meet her.

Zephyr and Mahogany arranged a meeting with all the Queens who were against Fennec, which was everyone except for the Darkwings. The meeting went smoothly until Zephyr's adopted daughter Cometwatcher arrived. Comet, unbeknownst to everyone, had been sick for a while. She collapsed in Clivia's arms and died. Zephyr and Clivia were devastated.

Comet had left behind scrolls- and eggs- which she asked Zephyr to take care of. When the eggs hatched Zephyr looked at the scrolls and named them according to Comet's wishes. She was happy to have grandchildren but she missed her daughter. She also found it funny had grandchildren already because she was only 8 dragon years old ((19 human years)). She hit it off with one of her grandkids, Nightlight, exploring the castles, searching for Mahogany, painting, and playing stuffed animals with them. She learned her grandkid Zylivia could see ghosts and the two discussed that.

Zephyr was looking for Clivia one day when she found her crying over the body of their daughter, Venus. She had died suddenly from a sickness. Zephyr was overwhelmed with grief, planning to get more healers and security for their dragonets in the future.

One day when Zephyr was looking for her son, Thermosphere, she couldn't find him. Seahorse happened to be visiting and when he came upon his flustered best friend he talked it over with her and they decided that it was probably Fennec who stole him. They flew to the Sandwing Kingdom where sure enough Fennec had Thermosphere. Fennec threatened to kill him, holding him down with her poisonous tail barb, if Zephyr didn't get her daughter back from queen Frostbite. After lots of arguing, and Clivia stealing form Fennec's treasury, Zephyr told her if she gave Thermosphere back she'd ask Queen Frostbite to give back Princess Cactus just because she didn't think holding dragons prisoner was nice. Fennec gave back Thermosphere and Zephyr did ask Queen Frostbite who declined.

Once safely back at the castle Thermosphere asked her to teach him to read and write. They started lessons and then Zephyr read him "Little Red Skywing and the Big Bad Scavenger"

Zephyr was walking around the palace at night when she checked on her grandkid Zylivia. Zylivia had accidentally stabbed herself with Mahogany's knife. Zeph was alarmed and rapidly made sure Zylivia was okay. After assured Zylivia was okay Zephyr flew her to the sea per the dragonet's request. Zylivia fell in and Zephyr had to dive after them. She managed to bring her back to surface but Zylivia ran away from her. After not being able to find her for an hour Zephyr was horrified and worried. What if she had died too? Like Cometwatcher and Venus? When Zephyr did find her she was talking to Blazing. Blazing and Zephyr talked, Zephyr offering to let her back if she didn't harm any Skywings. Blazing declined which Zephyr understood. Zylivia then demanded to stay with Blazing. Zephyr reluctantly agreed to let her. She wanted her to be happy and if she was happy with Blazing that was good but she'd miss her. Zylivia yelled at her, telling her thats he and Clivia weren't good to her. Zephyr didn't understand. They had done nothing but keep Zylivia safe and tried to make her happy. Then her best friend Seahorse appeared and yelled at Zylivia for being so rude to Zephyr and Clivia. Things got heated and after Seahorse and Blazing had stopped fighting it was agreed Zylivia would go with Blazing. Zephyr was very sad.
