Description

Name: Wolf
Sex: Male
Breed: Nightwing x Icewing hybrid
Age: 6 (which seems to equate to mid teens in the WoF universe, as far as I can tell. I personally imagine Wolf being about sixteen.)
Father: Thoughtsearcher (deceased) a Nightwing taken prisoner and forced to breed with multiple Icewing females in an attempt to get animus magic back into the tribe.
Mother: Opal, one of the three dragons chosen for the breeding program which produced Wolf and his siblings. Wolf has never met her and doesn't even know her name.
Half-sisters: Ptarmigan (deceased) and Lemming (deceased).
Abilities: He breathes steam, rather than fire or frostbreath. It may not sound imposing, but steam burns hot and fast, and can inflict severe burns on those it comes in contact with. Unfortunately, Wolf was so horrified by the results the last time he used it to defend himself that he became terrified to ever use it again. Also has Icewing spikes on the end of his tail and can use these as a weapon in battle.

Voice Actor: Eddie Redmayne

Personality: Wolf is a quiet, shy, well-intentioned dragon haunted by his traumatic past. One of three dragonets bred and raised in isolation by the Icewings in an attempt to get animus magic back into their tribe (see Wolf’s history for more info), Wolf was privy to a lot of pain and suffering at a young age. He was almost always at the receiving end of the Icewings’ cruelty because out of all three siblings he looked the most like a Nightwing. The Icewing caretakers would bully and belittle him over everything, no matter what he did, and because of this Wolf has developed some serious self confidence issues. He witnessed the deaths of both of his siblings, barely escaping with his own life when the Icewings decided he was more trouble than he was worth. He lived four years of his life hiding in the mountains in almost total isolation, only seeing other dragons from afar. Because of this, his social skills are less than stellar, and he doesn’t quite know what to do when approached by dragons he’s not familiar with. His default reaction to danger is usually to fly away and hide, or freeze up and resign himself to his fate. He’s more comfortable observing than actually interacting with other dragons, and absolutely hates drawing attention to himself. He doesn’t like to talk, but when he does it’s usually in very short sentences. He gets straight to the point, not taking time to ramble or engage in friendly banter. He has a very small circle of friends, and has trouble letting in new dragons. It can take time for him to become comfortable around you, but when he decides you’re his friend, you’ll have it loyalty forever. He isn’t comfortable in crowds or around very pushy, overly talkative dragons. He’s quite intelligent, observant, and can figure things out at an astounding pace. He’s naturally helpful and wants to do whatever he can to make his friends happy. So long as he’s given his own space, he will work tirelessly without complaint.

History: Rewrite in progress.

Random Facts
Has a crippling phobia of Icewings after being mistreated and finally hunted down by a vengeful Icewing named Frigid in his early years.
When he's scared but doesn't have the option to flee he will often curl up with his legs tucked under him and his head ducked down so that the spines on his neck and back stick out. Just picture a really big black and white hedgehog and you've pretty much got an accurate visual for that.
In a similar vein, he also sleeps curled up in a ball with his tail draped across his face to protect him.
He doesn't have the cold tolerance of a pure Icewing or heat tolerance of a pure Nightwing, so he does best in an environment that's cool, but not freezing.

Yeah, Wolf was in desperate need of a new ref. His design is still mostly the same, save for a few small changes, but I've improved at drawing dragons quite a bit in the year and a half since I made his last ref, and I really wanted a character sheet that reflected that. Wolf deserves the best, being my first WoF fan character and all. As you can probably tell, I just copied and pasted the tail from his original ref and lined it again, because man did I not want to redraw that. It was hard enough the first time.

And I swear if anyone says he looks like Whiteout I will stab your eyes out with a spork! Okay, maybe I won't do that, but I'll be...um....really mad. I created this character BEFORE the release of Darkstalker's book, so before any of us even knew about Whiteout. That, and I don't even think they look that much alike. At least no more so than any other Ice x Night hybrid. Also, Wolf is a boy. I don't know why people so often mistake him for a girl. Maybe he's just too pretty for his own good.

No critique desired. Please respect that.
