Well, basically, it's going to start out normal, and maybe something like, "He loved his life. It was grand. It was fun to [spoilerz]." Then it'll get a bit weird, like: "He sometimes saw her, too, fresh and clean and running around outside, not broken and buried from the accident last year. She would fly, too. He loved watching her fly." Eventually, it all makes sense.

wait you have a ''band? ''Cool!

Shadowtraveler

Description: You can call Shadow short all you want, but he's actually more or less normal height. An inch or two short, yes, but in spite of the fact he tends to cower, he's more or less normal height. He has a very scrawny build, and literally no muscle. Seriously, I'm pretty sure you could knock him over with a feather. Wit probably already has. He has very wide eyes that always seem to be staring at someone or something in fear or interest. They are a very, very dark blue, almost like the darkest depths of the ocean. When he speaks, his voice is surprisingly quiet-sounding, and he tends to s-s-stutter. It tends to happen more often whenever he gets nervous (which is actually a lot), less so when he doesn't talk for obvious reasons. His wings are very odd, because unlike other NightWings, the wing-webbings are pitch-black. That's right: he has no silver "star-scales", which would mean he'd be a great spy if only he would stop quivering with fear. Unsurprisingly, you can guess that happens a lot. His overscales are very, very dark black, like one is staring into the clear night sky in themiddle of the wilderness, where no pollution in this human world can ruin the perfection. His underscales are only slightly lighter, being a very, very dark, almost smoky gray, like a cloud in the night sky. The spikes along his back are the same coloration, and his horns are only slightly lighter. They are more or less straight, and twist only twice. Shadowtraveler's claws aren't all that long, nor are they too short, just baaaarely short. He has somewhat short legs for his body size, and most of the time, he just has this hopelessly confused look on his face. One can usually spot him with a scroll, because the kid loves scrolls more than he loves life itself (but not someone else's, huehuehue), and he wears a single piece of jewelry. This is a dark blue leather band, the shade of his eyes, is studded with almost-perfectly-round, shiny sapphires, and with an inch space between each gemstone. Gee, I wonder where he got that...

Personality: Meek, quiet, and often a stammering mess, Shadowtraveler is a shy, heavily introverted dragon. As noted in his Appearance/Description section, he stutters while speaking whenever he grows nervous (which happens way more than it does for a normal dragon). A bit of a worrywart, Shadow tends to worry about many, many things, including weather, events, and the inevitable impending storm cloud of death, and that's why nobody ever lets him plan things. Of course, this is much of the reason he loves reading--the fantasies, the pure wonder that scrolls bring him is enough to make him feel as though he's someone else. And who wouldn't want to pretend that, just for a day? Shadowtraveler is a bit of a pacifist, and isn't one to make arguments, which is good in some situations. However, he also can't end them, because he's too much of a cinnamon roll to risk hurting anyone (not that he would be able to, poor weak bean). He often grows attached to those who even show him one ounce of kindness, and that is both a blessing and a curse. Shadow is considerably smart, having a slightly-more-than-slightly-higher-than-average IQ, and loves to learn more than he loves life itself. He's always open to learning new things, and will gladly try and share his knowledge with others. It's kind of adorable, watching him get all worked up and sharing and trying his very best to help others understand. He will also do a similar thing with his favorite scrolls; once he finds a dragon (heck, even a scavenger will do) who also reads said scrolls, he will excitedly ask them their favorite characters, favorite part of the scroll, favorite ship, and also go way out of his way to avoid spoiling it. No, seriously, it's really funny, actually, because it just goes: "A-and I cried when J--I-I-I MEAN, when SOMEBODY dies!" over and over again, with different variations. Speaking of going out of his way, he also goes out of his way to avoid crowds, which he finds to be terrifying. All those strangers, crowded together like sardines and the noise of their chatter carrying above all else...shudder. He's just not very fond of the prospect. While I'm on this topic, please get out of the tree, Shadow. You're scaring children. Shadowtraveler is more or less terrified of small dragonets, because they tend to scream and run in all sorts of directions. Poor Shadow just can't keep up. However, he really likes pets, specifically cats, because they're always there when you need them, and if you earn their trust, they will love you forever. He's also pretty fascinated with scavengers, because they are actually really smart (or so he thinks). Shadow doesn't curse, and is more than visibly horrified whenever someone else even says "heck". If you want a shaking Shadowtraveler who is close to tears, yelling "FRICKING!" at the top of your lungs, or simply showing him a burning fire and saying, "You know, someone could die like that," will do. He is one of the few characters Victory has with a confirmed orientation (because she finds that hard, just selecting a thing that still fits the character, choosing one of the many orientations on the face of the Earth and just...ah, so many to choose from...) and is demiromantic, meaning he develops romantic feelings towards a dragon if they form a bond.
