notice: because Yinjia left the wiki, she is adopted by Foxy.
Slate lives in the Canon / FoxyVerse crossover, where BeetleWings didn't go extinct and thrived.
Appearance
Slate is a female BeetleWing, with a SilkWing body and front wing, but her back has HiveWing's wings. Her main scales are blueish gray, and then another layer of darker blue-gray, than dark blue, like her two horns. Her antennae is dark blue, fading into warm glowing yellow.
All her spots are also glowing yellow. There are a ring of warm yellow around her eyes, another on her front wing, and her back wing. Her talons, too, was glowing.
Slate's eyes are glowing faintly too, but in a different color-- yellowish white. No, she isn't mind controlled, it was... because she was blind.
Slate had a earring around her ears, it was a musical note, shaped beautifully using glowing gold. It was given by her best friend Corinna, after a terrible disaster happened to both.
Personality
You wouldn't notice Slate if you walked right past her, she was so quiet, so silent, so calm. She would hide in the shadows, and wait for someone to talk to her. You'd think that she's shy at first glance, but if you've known her all your life, she'd be open and not that shy. She would talk to you freely and wouldn't hide in a corner.
History
Slate hatched normal. She could see the world around her. At age of 3, her sister Spring Foster sent her to the Academy of Pantala, where she met a SilkWing named Corinna.
Corinna loved music, while Slate loved art. Slate would gaze at Corinna's musical note earring all day, and Corinna would appreciate hers.
Seems like a good destiny.
(NOTICE: SPOILER ALERT IF YOU'RE READING Crossed Paths!)
But one day, Ferafly the HiveWing was jealous of their abilities, mainly because of Slate and Corinna showing off in class. This lights up his hatred. And one day, when school was off, she gathered dragonflame catcus and bombed the school.
Disaster struck the unaware dragonets, and their lives were changed completely.
Slate wants to be an artist, but she cannot see anything else except the faint glow of her silk; Corinna was a future singer, but now there was only faint buzzing in her ears.
Both were completely useless now, they thought.
Not if they crossed paths.
Crying, they both unclipped their earrings and handed them to each other, a switch of fates, a crossing of paths...
