Fille >:D

Personality and the Basics


Name: Fille
Pronunciation: Phil-e
Gender: all (technically both cause fi sh)
Type: Eastern Dragon
Species: Coral Waterskipper
Age: 13 (teen)
Date of Birth: October 1st
Personality: Fille is the definition of “bean”. They’re very sweet, caring, very uncharacteristic things for someone who steals! However they think of it more like borrowing from the rich and using it for them! Like an accountant. With extra steps and crime. Besides, all that money just makes them grumpy! They can put the money to better use, all while making the grumpy dragons happier! Most of the money they steal finds its way into the purses of the less fortunate, they don't really keep much of it.
Despite being mute, they enjoy having conversations with her fellow crew-mates, using broken aquatic signing (they're still trying to perfect it) and their color changing scales.

Hobbies: Setting things on fire to see what happens, without thinking of the consequences, and reading! (books still stand strong to be one of the only things they haven't tried to burn)
Likes: Fire, its just so glowy! And orange! And red!, the stars at night, reading (its just so hard to get good books that are waterproof >:C)

Dislikes: Heat, the sun (sure, it may be one of their favorite colors, but it's just so warm >:C), and sharks, one bit them once. Never forgiven.
They hate being lied to, but also can never tell if she is lied to, and kinda needs to be expressly told she's been lied too.

Fears: Getting stuck on land, nets, she got caught in a dragons fishing net once and is t r a u m a t I z e d, Really, really deep water. The deep sea trenches.

History:

Fille had it rough, before she was even hatched from her egg. Her parents were killed and her siblings were snatched by opportunist rogues, aiming to buy into the the illegal Ki'shan slave market. The rogues stole Fille and her siblings while they were still in their eggs, killing her parents when they tried to stop them. Fille's egg was cracked during the scuffle, and the rogues didn't notice until they had flown far, close to the Ki'shan territories. Not wanting to deal damaged merchandise, the rogues tossed her to the seas, right in the middle of raging waters.

Fille was found floating the near the Lakara seas by Zolt, her egg somehow still intact despite the large crack down its center.
She was taken in by the older dragon, and pretty much raised on the pirate ship, The Mirrored Fang. It was a wonder she'd even survive, as normally, a cracked egg never hatched.

When she hatched, in the years that followed, the crew of the Mirrored Fang discovered she could not speak, or make any sound really. She was completely mute, so they began to teach her (to the best of their abilities) how to sign aquatic.
She grew fast- to a very very large size- even for her species. When she was 10 years old, she was easily 35 ft long.
She’d been on that ship (and in the seas around it) for her entire life, so when she got a little older- she got the desire to e x p l o re. On her own of course!!
So she set out to the nearest wonder where the Mirrored Fang was docked, a fish filled coral reef. They explored there for a while, chasing around fish, not even giving a second thought to the shadow that crossed over her, clouds going over the sun, nothing more!
Then a net, lugging a hall of fish, closed around her. They were dragged along for at least a few minutes before the fisher dragons, flying above while holding the net between them, skimming the water, even noticed she’d been caught up in with their fish. When they noticed, a lot of damage had been done. Fille was a bit scratched up, and her left antler had broken off on a bit of coral. Before the fisher dragons could even have a chance to apologize after releasing her- she’d swam off. Fille had a hell of a time explaining her mild injuries to Zolt that night.

Her teen years were filled with a lot less trouble- a bit of arson- because she’d discovered her love for fire. However she didn’t wander off on her own anymore, preferring to stay close to her family, growing exceptionally close to Vrelak and Nezzera (whom she had lovingly nicknamed Vrellie and Nezzie, developing special color patterns for when she greeted them).

Fille recently began to experience nightmares, terrors of events she was sure she'd never experienced with her own eyes. Distorted memories of when she'd been abandoned? She herself didn't know she had been thrown out to sea and orphaned, so the night terrors just confused her, leading her to look into the vague memories herself. However, if she looks too  far into it....she might just anger the wrong crowd.

Depending on her mood, her scales shift colors in a myriad of patterns, akin to a cuttlefish or octopus. The brighter colors indicating happiness or excitement, with the duller ones indicating a more down mood. When she dreams her scales will change color as well.
Her scales turn red or fluorescent pink when she's really mad.

Abilities and Strengths


Abilities:

Water Manipulation:
Fille has an innate ability to manipulate water, a few gallons at a time. She has to really focus to control more than that, and can manipulate waves of sea water. If she's distracted while manipulating this larger amount of water, by a shout or an attack, the water she's manipulating will simply plop back down into its source.
She uses this in mild ways, such as cleaning things or putting out fires- but she can also use it to give her a small boost when she's swimming.
With her water manipulation ability, she can change the flow of water as she directs, she can redirect rivers using this, though it will return to its course within the hour.

They can morph the water in simple shapes, such are triangles or circles and animate them at her direction, also only lasting an hour. They break upon being struck with a sharp or pointed object, akin to bubbles.

Fille can also obscure and change the color of water around her, up to 60 ft, enough to obscure her whole body. This change will only last an hour)

Lastly, she can freeze water she directs into many simple shapes, or one larger slightly complex shape. (like curves or frozen waves) The change lasts for only an hour in normal temperatures. In hot, dry places, she’s lucky if the change lasts for 30 minutes. In colder places, they may last two hours.

She can have two of these effects active at a time, such as changing the course of the water and obscuring it at the same time, or manipulating the course of a wave and filling it with tiny pointy ice shards. If she tries to do three at a time, one effect fades to give room for the other.

Amphibious:
Due to her species, Fille can breathe on both water and land.


Strengths:

Vicious Bite:
Fille has..a bit of a cursed biology. Coral Waterskipper hunt like eels, hiding in wait and shooting out at prey- because of this they evolved similar biology. Fille has a pharyngeal jaw, which in turn gives her a really, really vicious and damaging bite, and once she's bitten down on something, she's not going to let go.

Waterskipper:
Fille is fast in the water, even faster when she skims the tops of waves. She can reach a top speed of 50 mph while casually swimming, but when she really feels the need the need for speed, she can reach a top speed of 75 mph while either really close to the surface of the water, causing a huge wake behind her due to heir massive fins, or when speeding out of a hiding place in a huge surge of speed. (like a pounce, but in the water)
She can't swim at top speed for long, 2-4 minutes at most (A single post of s p e ee d). Akin to a cheetah.

Stealthy:
Despite her size, somehow, despite all known laws of sneaky and stealthiness, Fille is really, really quiet on both land and sea, and often makes dragons jump when coming up to them.

Crafty:
Fille is the definition of low wisdom, high intelligence. She's really good with putting things together, and even greater at making alchemical mixtures. From a young age she messed around with smacking things together to make potentially, totally not explosive things.
Somehow, she managed to cobble together a very basic fire bomb, similar to greek fire, that floats on the surface of water. It takes her a really really long time to make these, so she only ever has one at a time. (One a topic)

Giant Size  
Fille is h u g e. Way way longer then she should've grown, being double the size her species normally grows due to some form of Giantism. This allows her to swim faster (as her long finned tail can create quite the push), while also giving her the edge on other dragons in the water.

Weaknesses:

Communication
Fille's lack of being able to create any true sound, she has--perhaps due to the crack in her egg-- no voice. aside from a very distorted, breathy "boop" (or "oop"-)she says when booping Vrelak, not at all to be a pest oh no siree can be a major weakness in some situations. If her paws are restricted, she will be very limited in what she can say through color, and if she's too far from her friends for them to see her signing, she can't call out to them. She can't make any sound at all, which in certain situations, could prove very, very bad.

Sea Fairer::
Fille is not great on land. She's very slow, having to drag her long body, fit for speeding through water, along. She's very vulnerable on land, as she really has no defenses aside from her jaws and one and a half antlers.
Also, she's a bit lopsided on land due to her antlers, making her balance not that great.

Merdragon:
If Fille is on land for too long, without soaking in water, their scales begin to dry up, giving them splotches that can only be described as sunburns. The longer she is out of water, the weaker she gets, and the more her scales fail to protect her.

Opossum Response:
Fille has an odd response to scares, and when she's frightened too bad, say, spooked by a friendly prank or faced down by a much stronger enemy, they might just drop. Playing dead like an Opossum would. She typically will be like this for a few seconds to a minute, depending on how spooked she is.

F I r e p r e t ty:
Fille has a soft spot for fire. If there's something flammable in front of her, its...its gonna get lit. She has burned maps unknowingly before, and will continue to set dangerous fires out of pure curiosity. Fire is a very new concept to her. She's just so curious to see what happens to e ve r. y t h I n g if its set on fire.

Gullible. Very Gullible:
Fille can't tell if someone is lying, at all. Be it through blind trust or plain ignorance, she can never perceive a lie unless expressly told. This...often leads to her getting lured off by a "friendly" dragon. THEY WERE OFFERING FREE FISH OF COURSE SHE WOULD FOLLOW. FOR THE FISH-

Trusting:
Fille has a childlike, ignorance to bad qualities in dragons, wanting only to help or be friends! This can, and has caused many unfortunate situations with very dangerous dragons. Kinda goes hand in hand with the above weakness.

Maybe a Bit too Large-
Fille's large size may aid her in the water, but it doesn't help her at all on land. Her small legs simply aren't built for lugging around that much length. She can't really run on land, barely managing a trot. Her long size also leaves her vulnerable, as she has no spikes or amor to defend herself, and she can't turn fast enough to engage attackers. Fille's abnormal size also causes her to tire easy, especially on land- and she has to eat a lot, and sleep a lot to keep herself running.

Fighting Style: Fille fights in the water, preferring to drag her opponents in rather then engage them on land. When she gets her foe in water, its pretty much all over for them as soon as she bites down. Akin to a gator, Fille will death roll. Latching onto an arm or neck with her vicious jaws and spinning until whatever she's attached to comes off- or the foe stops moving. Its incredibly hard for dragons to get her to release whatever she's locked down on- almost impossible. If she cannot death roll, she will use her large tail to pummel foes or send them spiraling away from her.

She's also a stealth hunter, so if she's tracking someone down to fight them, they won't see her coming.
Magic:

Her water manipulation is the strongest magic she knows.

However she has learned some small tricks with it. She can cast minor healing spells through her water manipulation, healing small burns, light injuries, and partially repairing more severe ones. (to the point of slightly staunching bleeding or partially healing it)

She can also create small watery orbs of light, up to four at a time, which provide as much light as a dim lantern would when spread out, and when combined, shed light like a car's high beams.

And lastly, she learned a simple spark spell. Her favorite. It works pretty much like a lighter, creating a tiny flame in her talons.

B u m p

though don't lock her in yet if she gets approved- Imma add some more to her history- just want her abilities to get buffed/nerfed while I'm working on le juicy history bits >:3
