Thoughts on Everything?: Zehra is rather happy with her decision to flee, she felt as if she nearly escaped becoming a sacrifice when she was a hatchling, and wouldn't wish it upon anyone else, nor her future offspring. She dislikes the Elder Council, though is hoping the Gods will indeed be merciful and not require them to sacrifice their hatchlings.
Appearance:
This dragon is a young, yet dangerous creature. Her height is roughly 15 ft at the shoulder, not nearly a towering giant, but don’t let this deceive you. Zehra has a semi-muscular build, strong legs, and powerful wings allowing her flight. Her weight, however, is not on the larger end, but rather in the middle. For such a “powerful” dragoness how will she be able to deal with the threat of larger dragons? This lies in her power, Zehra is a creature who can illuminate herself, a distraction before making her move. When she strikes she strikes hard and fast. She is agile and quick compared to those larger than her. While her height doesn’t take on the impressive, or fear-inspiring look, the rest of her appearance makes up for it. Her head is adorned with six ivory horns, this strong material is a faint blue, nearly white appearance. Her first two horns top her head and curve up and back slightly, with two slightly smaller horns doing the same in between them. Her last two horns curve around to the front of her face, guarding it against attacks coming from the side, they line up with her jaw(similar to Brontes). Her facial features are rather sharp, her snout having a slight downward hook to it. Similar to that of a bird of prey, though not as long and unnatural looking. Zehra’s fangs are occasionally visible along the edge of her mouth. Zehra’s actual face shape is more slender, with smaller thick scales interlocking in a uniform pattern covering her face, her natural amour. The color of her face, overall, is a simple white.
Now this creature's eyes are rather stunning: a piercing blue, nearly white color is what they appear to be at a first glance, with small black vertical slits for pupils. Enlarging in the dark to allow her better vision during the hours when there is little light. Upon closer inspection, you can see light blue and gray flecks surrounding her pupil and an out iced color ring surrounding her outer Iris. This dragon also has two eyelids, one is a translucent light blue color, hardly visible to the eye unless you look close to notice a slight foggy appearance to her iris. This eyelid she typically uses to block smaller debris from entering her eye, such as dust, while still being able to see. It can also help block brighter lights, almost like a pair of natural sunglasses. The second is her normal eyelid, completely visible when closed.
A special feature Zehra possesses is her wings. A pair that is out of the ordinary. Typically when you think of a dragon you visualize one with a single set of wings. Well, Zehra has two sets of wings. She tends to hide one, keeping it pressed almost seamlessly against her body. But during flight, she uses both, it helps strengthen her flying when she enters the void during her teleportation. A dragon with a single set of wings would not have the same flying capabilities to make it through, instead, they would become stuck in the void. Now her first set of wings are normally sized, while her second set is just slightly smaller, the difference is visible if you take the time to notice this about her. The shape of them is rather batlike, with a stronger membrane connecting the frame holding them together, at the tip of each bone in her wing, is a small spike. The color underneath her wings is a clean white. While a top them is a spirling opalescent pattern, white is the natural color that acts as her "base coat". Zehra earned this striking pattern during the time in which she reached maturity and began to receive her abilities. Now, this pattern is along her entire neck, back, and top of her tail, while her entire underbelly, chest, legs, and below her tail are more of a soft white. Zehra has a small spiral marking on her forehead. She has no other markings besides this on her body. The scales across her chest and underbelly are larger plates, while the rest of her is made up of smaller scales.
Kind of what I was going for with the opalescent swirls, only much neater. The image below (c) me.
The last few features you may recognize on this female include the set of spikes she has along her spine. This row leads into the end of her tail and starts at the top of her head near her horns. They are colored a bright white and are not as flimsy as one might think, but rather a similar strength to her horns. When coming across this dragon you can notice a few other things such as her walk, rather quick and slightly hoppy on the ground. Zehra prefers flying, and the action looks almost effortless when she performs it. Though she will keep her head held high even as she may trip as she walks, if slight embarrassment comes from it she will continue to keep it high. Zehra is also one for facial expressions, often using her eyes and mouth to communicate. Her scent is never consistent, traveling through the void changes it depending on where she passes during her time there, though is often a soft scent of flowers and fresh air with which she surrounds herself with.
Personality:
Struggles to register emotions || Confident || Aware || Tense || Fearless & helpful... or at least she tries || Stoic || Selfless || Level headed, for the most part || Resourceful || Strategic || Intelligent || Communication || Passionate || Shiny things || Curious || Open-minded || Maternal || Adventurous || Social || Observant
Zehra is a social being, she likes to surround herself with those she likes and trusts and does enjoy good conversation. However, she does struggle to register emotions others portray. That is why she can be expressive at times herself, trying to make sure others know what she is getting at. A few emotions she may easily confuse are anger with disgust or fear with surprise. She also has a harder time understanding sarcasm, but Zehra is able to understand jokes for the most part. She does like laughing. Misinterpreting emotions can cause a level of confusion before she finally registers what is going on. Usually, the situation will help her decipher, but if she has to react quickly her actions may be slowed. Besides this, she is a generally confident being, she is well-aware of her surroundings, actions, and the situation she is in, which allows her the ability to overcome some of the confusion she may have with emotions. This dragoness will also come across as a bit tense, she tends to be on edge and is not very fond of being surprised. The current situation has heightened her senses and awareness, she won't hesitate to lash out at the unknown. She is not the dragon to throw a surprise party for.
Fearless. What she strives to be and often what she comes across as. Zehra is a brave dragon, risking life and limb to assist others in their quest to escape the elder council. Her selflessness is a rather large part of her personality, she tries her best to be helpful and put on a brave face for those around her, even if her fears are eating away at her on the inside. She is rather stoic in this way. She hates to complain about personal issues when she knows everyone is fighting their own battles. While she appears brave there will be moments when she is caught off guard, sudden darkness, the sight of death, or being left alone will make her feel vulnerable. It is then that you can see her shield crack and her emotions come loose. This occurrence is rather rare unless she is facing her worst fears. She hates to talk about herself, though only her close companions may be trusted with this information, this is so that when she does let down her guard they can be there to help. Besides those few occasions, Zehra is rather level-headed. She does not have much of a temper, but like some, if you purposefully push her buttons she will lash out at you. Zehra is not afraid to tell you off when it comes down to it. The same goes for those arrogant enough to not get the gravity of the situation through their thick skulls. She hates to repeat herself.
Zehra is the type to mirror how others treat her, she will be a bitch to those who treat her like one, or she will be caring towards those who care for her. She won't go out of her way to make a friend or to keep a friendship for that matter, if the other is not willing to put in the work, or begins to avoid her. Now, this dragon is rather intelligent. She is careful with her words and with what she chooses to reveal about herself, particularly to those she deems suspicious. Zehra is also quite strategic, planning out her next moves, and calculating the best route to take to get there. She also is good with communication, she can express her opinions in a clear and concise manner, and is generally open-minded when it comes to what others have to say. Unless, of course, the dragon is not credible or has worms for a brain. Another skill of hers is how observant this female can be, she likes to watch others, not in a creepy way such as stalking or staring, but she likes to see reactions. Zehra wants to understand how others think and feel to help her learn to do the same.
With topics, she finds interesting Zehra can become quite passionate. If she really gets into something she may begin to talk fast and grow excited. Some of her favorite topics include tricks with her abilities, flying, and shiny objects. While this dragon is not a collector, she does like to admire various objects she finds or is shown. She particularly likes shiny objects that resemble her markings, with opalescent colors and pretty patterns. She is rather curious when it comes to new findings, and likes to keep an eye out for new things as she travels. While this dragon has a bit of an adventurous side, such as exploring new lands or flying to places she has never been. This adventure is different, running for her life has been both thrilling and terrifying rolled into one. A part of her enjoys the freedom she now possesses, while the other half of her wishes that she could go back to her life before. Despite this feeling she would never return to the Elder Council and the other clans, it is too late to apologize for their actions and she will never feel safe with them again. She is normally not one to hold grudges, but in this case, she will.
This female also has a bit of a maternal side, she does take a liking to the little hatchlings and finds them rather fascinating. If Zehra should ever become a mother she would definitely be a protective creature, keeping a sharp eye on them. If she becomes a mother it would not be during her time in the clans. She wouldn't wish to have her hatchlings chosen as a sacrifice. She has refused to have any during her time there. Once she fleed from the clan with the other survivors, the idea definitely piqued her interest once more.
Abilities: ☽ Portals: This dragon is able to teleport, or make portals as far as she is able to see with ease. Usually, up to 10 miles is the max, however on an excellent day with her heightened vision she can go up to 12 miles. A bit more difficult task she is able to do, is picking a location that she cannot see and teleporting there. This takes more energy. Zehra is able to take up to one other living thing with her as long as she has contact with it, such as holding a hatchling between her claws or another dragon on her back. Taking more than one-ups the risk of losing them as they pass through the void.
☽ Double wings: A Necessary feature if she is to enter the void. During her teleportation, Zehra has to enter what is called the void, a space-time continuum in which she travels through. Once inside, a pulling sensation begins, almost trying to drag her down. Those with a single pair of wings would succumb to this and would be unable to resist the strong pull, therefore getting stuck inside forever. Her second set of wings allows her to become a strong flyer and make it out of this place, the longer she is in it, the more it saps her energy.
☽ Fog breath: Instead of fire breath, this dragon is able to make a fog-like substance. Though this "fog" does not act like fog, normally dispersing on impact with its target, or dispersing into the air. It is so cold that it has the ability to harm other dragons that may have some resistance to colder temperatures.
☽ Glowing: She is also able to produce a form of light, however, this power is not similar to one of a light dragon. Zehra is able to make her body glow in a much softer manner, she refers to it as a night light, though it can also be viewed as "moonlight". This glow can never get to a blinding state, though it can illuminate a dark path enough for the group to travel safely on.
Strengths:
☽ Breathing, Zehra has the ability to breathe easier at higher altitudes, it is an acquired skill from years of high flying. She's used to it now.
☽ Medium-sized, she has strength, agility, and speed. Though her strength outweighs the other two, speed is followed closely behind.
☽ Wings, this dragon is blessed with two pairs of wings. This allows her to become a strong, efficient flyer, and make it through the void in one piece.
☽ Intelligence, Zehra is a quick thinker and quite resourceful
Weaknesses:
☽ Nyctophobia, Zehra is rather frightened of the dark and prefers to keep herself aglow until she falls asleep. She can't stand not knowing what's hidden behind the dark curtain before her.
☽ Thanatophobia, the fear of death. A small voice in the back of her mind is constantly nagging her with, "they're catching up" or "we're moving too slow". She does fear the hunters will catch and kill them.
☽ Autophobia, the fear of being alone. Zehra is a social creature, and fears ending up on her own
☽ Energy, using her teleportation excessively to travel long distances will drain her quickly and leave her in a vulnerable state. Her power will completely shut down and will be useless for a short period of time. Unless she has access to food and water to bring her energy levels back up quicker.
☽ Dehydration, she needs to be hydrated in order to use her "fog breath", she can become dehydrated if it is overused.
☽ Food, Zehra must be well fed in order to have her glow ability to work, the hungrier she is the fainter it will be. If she is well fed the glow will be bright.
Likes:
☽ Flying, she especially likes testing how high she can go before suddenly diving, she craves the adrenaline. She also enjoys nighttime flights.
☽ Water, particularly cool streams, and light rain. She likes to roll around and cool off in the water.
☽ Fish, Yum. Obviously.
☽ Naps, if she can, she prefers to get a lot of her sleep during the day, mostly due to her fear of the dark at night, she won't sleep as much in the dark.
☽ Cool-weather, her fog breath tends to work better during this time, and she finds it more comfortable. Though she dislikes freezing temperatures
☽ Shiny, Fascinated by shiny objects, she particularly likes those that look like her
Dislikes:
☽ Being alone, she prefers to surround herself with other dragons, it makes her feel safe
☽ Insufferable dragons, she finds it hard to surround herself with others who continue to show arrogance. With the situation they are in, she doesn't have time for those who want to play idiots.
☽ The dark, Zehra has a large fear of the dark, one of her siblings was taken as a sacrifice for the Elder Council while they were playing in the dark. The situation happened quickly and scared the living daylights out of the young hatchling. She has fear that creatures will come for her in the dark since then.
☽ Harm coming to friends, or harm coming to family for that matter

Her dear childhood friend who she is rather protective of. Zehra knows he is quite capable of taking care of himself, but she will be regardless. They share many childhood memories together, as well as random adventures over the years.
Other: B)
The void overview: This is a place that Zehra visits frequently. In order to teleport, she must enter and exit the void successfully. It takes no energy to enter the void, however, once she is inside an invisible "weighted blanket" begins to weigh her down the farther she travels. It can get to the point where it drags her down into the void and she cannot escape. Those entering the void with a single set of wings will immediately collapse under its pressure, though with her double set she is able to get through.
Once inside it almost appears like space. Stars and galaxies dot the entire space, and little rips in time appear and disappear as you travel. As you fly through it you can see glimpses of other universes, though you will be unable to access them. Once inside you will always be able to see your destination, an image of the place will appear a ways away, and it is always the same distance in the void, regardless of how far it is in real life. Though, if in real life, the location is a long way off, it will take longer to fly there, if it is a short distance, you will move at a much faster pace.
