History

Dragonethood - Tanager was hatched on a beach near SkyWing territory. Her parents had met after Falcon had been injured and crashed on an island near SkyWing territory after one of the last battles of the war. Hawksbill was smitten with her from the moment he met her. Falcon found him annoying, but he cared for her and nursed her back to health without telling Queen Coral about her. She began to love him back, and Tanager and Pelican's egg was laid. Tanager and Pelican were hatched after the war. Her parents decided to have them spend half a year in the Sky kingdom and half a year in the Sea kingdom. Tanager's mother was a pretty high-up general  before she was injured, and she had been presumed dead. Queen Ruby tried to protect Tanager and Pelican from dragons who hated them for having SeaWing connections. They were allowed to live in the palace. They weren't treated like royalty, but more like honored guests, albeit permanent guests. Ruby didn't favor them especially, but she didn't leave them to be picked on by the other dragons either. Queen Coral was much less nice. She insisted that Hawksbill live far from her on an island in the Bay of a Thousand Scales while his "unnatural hybrid children"  were with him. Tanager and Pelican weren't picked on much by the SeaWings, but they hardly ever saw any. The SkyWings were nice enough, but that was probably only because they were under Queen Ruby's protection, as none of them were overly friendly, apart from Tanager's cousins. Queen Coral sent Tanager and Pelican to Jade Mountain Academy, probably to get them away from her. 

Adolescence - Because Queen Coral had enrolled Tanager and Pelican, they were considered SeaWing students. The other dragonets in the Silver Winglet (her winglet) were Zephyr of the SkyWings (her cousin), Scorpion of the SandWings, Invincible of the NightWings, Hornet of the RainWings, Iarna of the IceWings, and Gharial of the MudWings. She was clawmates with Iarna and Scorpion. Scorpion was friendly, and they got aong well. Iarna was more aloof, but opened up after a while, and they all became friends. Zephyr was her cousin, and they were very close already. Hornet was a typical RainWing, and very nice. All Gharial thought about was food, but he could be pleasant enough when he actually thought about other dragons. Invincible thought it was beneath him to associate with hybrids, and was unpleasant to her sometimes, but he mostly igonored her, which didn't bother her too much, as she'd encountered the same treatment from SeaWings and SkyWings before. She did well in school and enjoyed it.   

Adulthood -  After she graduated from Jade Mountain, Ruby and Coral decided that Tangager and Pelican, as adults, should only belong to one tribe. They were forced to choose. Naturally, Tanager chose the SkyWings, as they and Queen Ruby had always been nicer. Surprisingly, Pelican chose the SeaWings. He had always been physically more of a SeaWing, and felt he would fit in better there. It was hard for them to separate, but they arranged meetings once a month, and got used to it, although Tanager always missed Pelican. 

Future -  Tanager will become a naturalist, studying scavengers and reporting her findings. She will die on one of her expeditions from a mysterious illness.
