!!ALSO MATURE WARNING!!
Appearance[]
"I look nice, right? Shame you won't tell anybody."
Harpy has dark brown and gray feathers all over her body, with strong, darker brown wings. She also has a smaller snout than most dragons of any tribe, and her face is a bit more scavenger-like. Harpy has a broad, flat tail and a light gray or white underbelly. Her sharp, dark brown or black eyes are almost constantly filled with anger. Her horns are a dull brown-gray. Harpy is also quite curvy but not plump, in fact her body and face seem caved in, and she is described as small. She lost her two front legs at an early age and rarely walks now, preferring to fly instead. Her back claws are incredibly sharp as well.
Personality[]
"You have plenty of things to give. Jewels, and lots of food."
Harpy is known for being a cruel dragon who rarely speaks in anything but bird calls. She is vengeful and if you do her wrong she'll find you and probably extract her revenge by killing you. She likes to have knives or other sharp weapons, and while she cannot hold them like a normal dragon would, she grips them in her mouth. When she is in the rare good mood, it is usually the calm before the storm, seeing as her favorite activity is swooping down on unsuspecting dragons and killing them. Exceptionally handsome dragons she might instead hold hostage for a bit before killing and eating them. She also is known for stealing things from others, typically food.
History[]
"Why does nobody love me the way I am?"
Harpy was always like the way she is now. Hatched with no front legs and getting around by flying, she soon left the East territory where she hatched to the Mid-East after nearly being killed for her actions. Having no luck finding her home there, and instead finding herself in trouble since she didn't follow many AviWing customs, she ate everything and stole, some of things she did were considered unforgivable. She tried all the different areas and tried to settle down, but her ravenous hunger seized hold of her every time she came to a new place, and as a result she moved to a place with more food and land: The Rainforest. Learning to navigate through the thick, dense jungle was tough, but after a year or so, Harpy became a dragon who lived alone, eating anything she could fit in her mouth. After some time getting used to using her claws to rip tree bark off, using rocks to crack nuts, and a host of other tools, Harpy found her first non-AviWing. It was a soft pink RainWing with blue eyes and orange specks. In an attempt to lure them closer for study, she made a loud Macaw call, but this had the opposite of the desired effect. The RainWing took off running, prompting Harpy to follow them. It was when she pinned them down that she thought of eating a dragon. They were edible, after all. So, she quickly killed the RainWing and used her skills of ripping off tree bark and cracking nuts to rip off dragon scales and crack bones. Harpy found this the closest she had come to satisfaction, so she continued killing and eating dragons who she spotted roaming, even attacking large gathering groups. She never used her tail dart, as the moment never called for it. Her teeth and talons were good enough weapons of destruction. Harpy would hunt anything she could take on and eat, and would strip entire sections of forest clean of food.
Relationships[]
