Pass me the paint and glue
Perfect isn't easy
But it's me
When one knows the world is watching
One does what one must
Some minor adjustments, darling
Not for my vanity
But for humanity
Each little step a pose
See how the breeding shows
Sometimes it's too much
For even me!
But when all of the world says yes
Then who am I to say no?
Don't ask a mutt
To strut like a showgirl
No girl, you need a pro!

Queen Graceweaver can breathe fire. Like all DriftWings, her fire changes color with her environment. She hardly uses her firebreath since she doesn’t need to fight. It’s also frowned upon for a queen to start a fight or use any sort of weapon.
Graceweaver has a heightened sense of hearing, greater than that of scavengers and most other dragon tribes. Her kids have learned that they cannot keep secrets from their mother.
Alongside MudWings, DriftWings are one of the strongest dragon tribes. Due to Graceweaver being intimidatingly large, she is also incredibly strong. She has been rumored to have lifted fully-adult dragons into the air with minimal struggle...
Graceweaver was born to DriftWing Queen Stormcaller and her recently-deceased mate, Cliffbender (from the Thorran noble family). She was the secondborn female heir--the first being her older sister Rainspinner. The two perfect princesses were signs of prosperity and beauty to their subjects.
Everything turned for the worst when Stormcaller was found dead in her chambers. It was later discovered that she had been poisoned. Everyone was frantic. With no father since birth, the two daughters felt fear settle in. They were orphans, and not very old.
It was decided that Rainspinner would be the new queen, since she was the eldest sister. This caused some unhappy muttering among citizens, as Rainspinner wasn’t elected the traditional way. She was not very old when she ascended the throne, and did not rule very long. When the governor was found out to have killed Queen Stormcaller, Rainspinner sentenced her to death. With the previous governor gone, Rainspinner jumped at the opportunity. Graceweaver became the queen with her sister as the governor.
However, when Stormcaller was still alive, she had made arrangements for the Kindling noble family’s son, Blazecaster, to marry whichever of the daughters became queen. The eldest daughter refused when she became governor, and the two worked out an arrangement. Blazecaster would marry Graceweaver, the new queen, instead.
Graceweaver's coronation went smoothly, as did Rainspinner's ceremony for governorship. The two could rule the DriftWings together in peace and harmony, along with Blazecaster. When she found out she was expecting, the queen was overjoyed. She had always wanted to have dragonets. When the two eggs hatched, the first heirs became highly loved by the whole kingdom. She and her mate each named one of the dragonets: Blazecaster named their daughter Dreambreaker (after his mother Dreamdancer) while Graceweaver named their son Stormcaster (after her mother and mate).
Sometime before having her second clutch of eggs, Graceweaver spoke with Rainspinner about having Stormcaster being selected and trained as the next king of the DriftWings. Her daughter was rebellious and frankly, a pain in the tail while her son was calm, collected, and loyal.
The queen later had her second clutch, giving her a new batch of dragonets to care for. Graceweaver had her talons full, no doubt about it. However, her mate was pulling away. She thought nothing of it; it was natural for drakes to get uneasy around dragonets and he had a plethora of them.
Despite all, the DriftWing kingdom was thriving. Many were pledging that the sisters were the best rulers the kingdom had in a decades--while Rainspinner shied away from the praise, Graceweaver basked in it. Both sisters continued to train Stormcaster in the art of ruling as king since his father kept disappearing, annoying the queen greatly. However, she didn't have the energy to confront him; she still had to raise their herd of young dragonets and spend time with her two older ones.
A couple of years later, Rainspinner came to her in a state she had never seen her in before: pure fear. Her sister was pregnant. Graceweaver had stared in disbelief; she knew Rainspinner didn't like dragonets that much and she hadn't been in a relationship that she had known of. Her sister shakily explained that she had met a NightWing diplomat who came here for business and ended up spending more time with him than was necessary. She had fallen in love and ended up expecting along the way. She had told him, and he had made some hasty excuse and exited the scene. Graceweaver helped her sister throughout this terrifying experience, seeing the hatching of her niece and nephew.
Graceweaver's dragonets were older now, her firstborns officially recognized as adults in the eyes of society. Blazecaster was still distant, frequently missing in their everyday lives. After the queen caught wind of her mate having an affair with one of her handmaidens, Graceweaver thought to confront him. He denied it vehemently and she was foolish enough to buy it. He started to spend more time with her in order to ease her suspicions, and before she knew it, the queen was pregnant once more, and this time, she wasn't sure she could pull it off again. Her third and final clutch hatched without her mate there to see it, just like the previous one.
After the hatching of her young children, two major events were brought to light: Blazecaster's rumored affair turned out to be true, while one of her daughters had eloped with a DeathWing in the middle of the night.
Graceweaver, in her stressed and overwhelmed state, sentenced the handmaiden to execution, although not publicly. Unknown to the queen, the handmaiden and the king had a single egg together, which the king took and brought to some orphanage so it wouldn't get smashed.
Since the whole scandal, Blazecaster has been kept on a careful watch by a couple of Graceweaver's most loyal guards to prevent another embarrassment to the royal family. She has been trying to get him to spend some time with their dragonets, but the eldest don't need him and the second clutch already resent him for being absent for most of their life. He is closer to his last clutch dragonets out of all his kids, but still not a relatively great father figure.
