Description A reference for a dragon character I adopted from =AstralPup , like forever ago. This was one of her old characters that she was selling. Actually, she's still selling a ton of old character and adoptables, so go check them out, why don't you.
In other news, it takes me way too long to come out with proper references for most characters, but unusually, and quite sadly, my own OCs don't get refs as quickly. Sigh.

Name: Skell (I stole the original name, I hope you don't mind, I can't ever think of names, sob.)

Gender: Female

Species: Undead Dragon

Personality: Quirky and scary. That basically sums it up. She's friendly in her own way. She's often sarcastic, snarky, and sometimes a bit intimidating. She also finds it fun to scare/bother others, mostly by creeping them out in strange ways. For the most part, she doesn't reveal how she really feels, unless of course, she can do so in a scornful or condescending manner.

History: One day in the distant past, she was attacked by dragon poachers. They defeated her and stole her horns to sell, then left her to die. One day Skell awoke, but in a strange time, very unfamiliar to her. As she tried to come to terms with what had happened, she suddenly came to the grim realization that she had died and rotted away a long time ago. Some parts of her were still whole, but not complete. She still doesn't understand why she is alive again, if you could even call her current existence living. Filled with fear and embarrassment at what had happened to her, she fled to familiar locations to look for family or friends. Everyone she used to know was gone. She found the skeletal remains of a dragon inside the home of one of her friends. The exact identity of the body was impossible to determine, but she sorrowfully concluded that they could do her one last favor in their death. Wearing the skull of the dead dragon, Skell hid her scars in shame and woe. She travels the land, searching for remnants of her past, hoping that one day she can find someone that can give her an explanation of all that has happened in her death and afterwards, and perchance reunite with someone, anyone that she used to know.
(Okay, so I finally came up with a background story for her, but I only did that just now. Who knew I could come up with a decent story in ten minutes....wow.)
