here’s my wof oc, evergreen !!

❥ icewing
❥ 14 years old
❥ above average size
❥ female; seventh circle
❥ unusual mint-green coloration

(also this is my first attempt at drawing an icewing so please forgive any errors lol)

backstory: evergreen was the only child of two lowborn icewings during a time of near constant war. the queen was cruel, and often used 7th and 6th circle soldiers for combat to spare her more elite guards from death.
her parents, desperate to save their young dragonet, gave her to a nomadic group of seawings by the coast of the rainwing jungle. they happily accepted the hatchling and agreed to keep her safe while her parents crafted a clever lie to cover up for their missing daughter.
the battle waged on and unfortunately evergreen’s mother and father were called to arms for a grizzly skirmish by the sandwing border, and neither survived the first week.
the rogue seawings kept themselves updated on the war, knowing that one day the little icewing should return to the tundra once peace was made, but the heartbreaking news of her parents’ gruesome deaths shocked them all to the core. she had no family left, and they knew the barbaric queen would probably kill the young dragonet for desertion even though she had no control over being raised by seawings.
blacktip, the leader of the group, decided to keep her permanently within their community. it wasn’t safe for her anywhere else, and she was far too small to defend herself.

years passed and evergreen grew up to be quite worldly and intelligent; she lacked the typical sarcastic, rude demeanor that many of her kind shared. she learned to swim, fish, and even use some hand gestures underwater (simple aquatic) to communicate with her seawing family. not only that, she befriended a few rainwings who before meeting her, never saw an icewing in person.
on her 7th hatchingday, evergreen was given some old scrolls signed by a pair of dragons named “permafrost” and “skua.”
blacktip explained that these letters came from her biological parents before they were killed in action by a sandwing battalion.
the truth was devastating to her, and she nearly collapsed from the overwhelming bombshell. she spent the evening researching her tribe’s history in the rainforest kingdom, with the permission of queen baobab. evergreen discovered recent recordings of the icewing’s seemingly never ending fights with the sandwings, who allied themselves with the powerful mudwings.
queen crystal was the current ruler, and she was portrayed as a savage tyrant who will stop at nothing to expand her kingdom, even if it meant sending half of her tribe to be slaughtered by rival troops.
after many days of deliberation, she announced to her adoptive family that she planned to travel the entirety pyrrhia in search of a way to bring down queen crystal. naturally, the peaceful seawings objected and begged her to stay. evergreen had minimal training when it came to attack/defense, it would be incredibly risky for her to venture out into the wild world as a lone icewing.
but to everyone’s surprise, blacktip agreed with her. he understood her determination, and supported her quest to slay the corrupted ice queen as it would mean peace for every tribe.

she left at dawn the next morning with two rainwing friends, guava and lotus, who offered their help. the rainwing tribe wasn’t exactly involved in the war, neither were the skywings, but they did take in refugees who were severely injured or just terrified of dying in combat.

since then, evergreen has been on the move with a growing band of dragons from all different tribes.

i’m sorry if her backstory isn’t too good lol it’s a work in progress + i need to read the rest of the books to make sure i’m not messing up the canon universe or forgetting important rules.
