Cichlid is a female Seawing.
Appearance[]
Cichlid has light purple-blue scales. She has pale lavender underparts, and sea green spine membranes and stripes. Her wing membranes are bright purple. Her horns and the upper and lower plates on her neck are light magenta. A sea green stripe runs down her forehead, and elaborate patterns of matching bioluminescent dots cover her face, most prevalent over her cheeks and upper jaw. Her front left foot is missing a toe, a few slash marks scar her flanks, her wing membranes have been torn and healed many times and a small burn mars her tail.
Personality[]
Cichlid is a generally sarcastic dragon. Despite her long service to the Seawing cause, Cichlid has little respect for authority, especially ones that don't deserve their station in her eyes. She is prone to dark humor and has a rather cynical view of life. Cichlid does not hide her scars, and she remembers every single one's origin and the dragon who gave it to her.
Abilities[]
Combat Skills[]
Cichlid is adept with knives, both in melee combat and thrown. She also has decent unarmed combat skills.
History[]
Early Life[]
Cichlid was born to a pair of lowborn Seawings who ran a fish shop. She joined the army at the age of eleven, and graduated from boot camp as one of the best of her class.
Viperfish Company Commando[]
Cichlid was one of the better commandoes of the Seawing military, serving for four years in the Viperfish Company. She pulled off eighteen successful missions, sabotaging supplies, interfering with orders, assassinating unit commanders, stealing plans and obtaining information for her superiors.
On her ninteenth mission, she was surrounded and knocked unconscious when she was discovered after the distraction of a bandit attack was dealt with. Cichlid was captured and imprisoned in Burn's stronghold.
Prisoner of Burn[]
Cichlid spent two years in Burn's prisons and camps. About a year after her capture, her old cellmate was transferred from the main stronghold into a work camp. Guava became her new cellmate. She was initially surprised at Guava being a Rainwing, then dismissive of her, until a demonstration of Guava's venom caused her to apologize and their relationship to warm.
