Character name: Miyuki Character race: ryuu (dragon) Gender: Female Age: 2,107 years Height: 57 feet Length: 120 feet Wingspan: 180 feet Eye color: Amethyst Scales: Iridescent (almost pearl) Appearance: Several times Hizeme's age, Miyuki is roughly three times as large, and sports a far more ornate crest of horns than Hizeme's double pair. Also, indicating her sexual maturity, she has a series of stiff ridges that go down the length of her spine, starting just behind her horns, and ending a few feet before the end of her tail. Her hide is a shimmering, almost pearl color, and her eyes gleam a deep violet. Abilities: Her size works slightly against her mobility, but her talons and fangs are enormous, especially when compared to a youngling like Hizeme. Her fire breath has far greater range and burns far hotter, and she can sustain a consistant flame for much longer periods than Hizeme. She is a capable flier, though not very experianced in riding the High Wind. She is a very capable telepath, and something of an exceptional musician even among a race which prides itself for song. Her armor is much harder than Hizeme's, as she is not growing nearly as fast, so her scales are not shed as often, allowing them more time to harden. Her wings are still vulnerable, but sport more developed hooked claws on the main joints than younglings do. Personality/History stuff: A member of the ryuu clan that lives not too far from the ruins of Jaral's hometown. She is relatively content to live with her kindred, though she did enjoy watching the city rise over the centuries, and was somewhat disappointed when it burned. She's a bit more open to new ideas than most of her kindred, though she's not as openminded as, say, Hizeme. She's exceptionally compassionate, and generally will treat humans and elves with some small degree of respect (she'll seldom filch their livestock, for instance, or not flame one to death unless absolutely necessary), though she hasn't thought at all of conversing with one, let alone cultivating friendship with one. While not as hard-nosed (pardon the pun, since the ryuu's faceplates are quite solid, and, in fact, their noses are quite hard) as some of the ryuu, she still tends to look down upon other races as amusements, or lesser creatures of subpar intelligence. Though she is not the Eldest of her clan, she is well respected for her kindness and her ability to make music even better than most of her kindred. While still relatively young for the ryuu, she is, unlike Hizeme, a mature adult, though she has yet to take a mate. The long years show in her calm ability to roll with almost any punch, a stark contrast to Hizeme's spur-of-the-moment temperment.
