Personality[]
Apios is an intense dragon. She likes things to be clear and simple, and she doesn't enjoy dragons who blather on about things. She can be fiercely over-protective to young dragonets and she's also extremely irritable to strangers.
However, Apios is loyal, brave and smart. She likes it when things go her way, and she prides herself in remembering even the littlest details about other dragons' lives.
Name Origins and Appearance[]
'Apios' means 'Potato Bean' or 'Groundnut.'
Apios has colour-changing scales like a RainWing, but she also has glow-in-the-dark scales like a SeaWing. Her tail is a little too muscular to be considered a full RainWing tail. She is also stocky like a SeaWing and she enjoys swimming rather than flying.
She has gills on either side of her neck and does not have venomous fangs. However, she is known to have suntime every now and then.
Quotes[]
"I don't care what he says. I care what I say. And that's all that matters right now." - Apios to another guard
"It doesn't matter what you look like. Or what you think you are like. You just need to grit your teeth and push forwards." - Apios
"I sometimes imagine what life would be like without you. And I figured, even though my life is so messed up and crazy right now, with you in it, it's worth it." - Apios
Backstory[]
Apios was hatched in the rain forest. Her father, Typha, knew her by her odd scales and brought her to the Kingdom of Sea, to the Summer Palace, as the daughter of Queen Sativa.
Sativa disliked her daughter, but she was the only heir to the SeaWing throne. She ungraciously took Apios in her wings and cared for her, until Apios's Talons of Power ceremony.
After discovering that she was an animus, Sativa hid her daughter from the world and trained her in secret, being an animus herself. Five years later, on Apios's seventh birthday, she was considered a fully fledged and fully trained animus.
She joined the Queen's Guard soon after. Her somewhat outgoing personality shifted slightly into a more intense and menacing form after a raid on the Ice Kingdom in which she was gravely injured and suffered a brutal loss.
Soon after this, Apios was sent on a conquest mission to Possibility with several RainWings and SeaWings
Vitis, a RainWing cartographer, permanently injured Apios during this quest, so that she was blinded in one eye. The blinding took a psychological toll on Apios, and the young hybrid soon discovered that she could no longer access her animus power.
Apios currently is searching for Vitis, convinced that her animus power will return once she confronts him.
Until then, she can only rely on her faithful platoon of guards.
