Name > Lostwish
Nickname(s) > Wish, Gate Keeper
Tribe > NightWing (with a touch of RainWing ancestry somewhere)
Occupation/Affiliation > Student
Mentor/Apprentice (if applicable) > Master Sphinx
Talon/Order (if applicable) > Sapphire Talon
Appearance > Lostwish is a smaller-than-average NightWing with dark, teal-tinted scales and large navy wings. She has a slender build and small proportions on everything except her wings, which look like she hasn't grown into them yet.
She has a lighter teal underbelly and pale teal claws, spines, and horns that get lighter towards their ends.
The silver 'star' scales beneath her wings shift and change with her emotions, and are not something she can consciously control. This is most likely due to traces of RainWing blood in her family history.
Her scales grow darker along her spine and towards the ends of her limbs. She has lighter scales in various gradients along her snout and the tops of her talons.
Wish's eyes are pale gray.
Accessories > She wears assorted silver jewelry, including: Horn bands and caps, a set of horn wire wraps, a series of silver earrings, a few rings, and a crystal pendant on a dark cord.
Scars > Wish has a jet-black scar that originates as a star-shape on her left palm, which has a tail that curls up her left arm, almost to her shoulder. She received it during the final battle in the Inner Sanctum of R'lyeh. It was created by a bolt of pure eldritch magic. When magic is used to try and heal it, it gets worse. Using medicine is ineffective at best.

(Write 2-3 sentences about each trait and how your character expresses it. You may add extra secrets/fears/dreams if you wish, but you must list at least one of each).
POSITIVE:
Loyal >
Wish takes a while to warm up to new dragons, and even longer for one to gain her trust. Though it might be difficult to come by, once you earn her trust, she will stay a loyal friend to you 'till the end of time (or until you break her trust).
Trustworthy >
Once you gain her trust, she is worthy of yours. She is known for keeping secrets hidden.
Empathetic >
While it has certainly gotten Wish into trouble before, she is very empathetic and has a hard time watching anyone suffer.
NEUTRAL:
Introverted >
Wish doesn’t like being around lots of other dragons. She is very, very, very shy. She is quiet and enjoys listening, not so much speaking. She relishes her time alone, and being around other dragons for long periods of time wears her down and she can get grumpy or anxious. This doesn’t make her antisocial, and she does like to have a small, trusted group of friends. Super perky dragons kinda scare her.
Open-Minded >
Seeing something from a new perspective can be difficult. Thanks to some of her friends, Wish has learned to be quite open-minded.
Curious >
Letting things go unexplained is not something Wish likes to do. Curiosity has been ingrained into her very being, right from the start, and has definitely caused some issues.
NEGATIVE:
Anxious >
Worry is practically Wish's middle name. The girl has never had a relaxed day in her life. Though she's taking steps to treat her anxiety, changes don't come overnight. She's jumpy and constantly on-edge, her mind playing worst-case scenarios frequently.
Mistrusting >
Gaining Lostwish's trust is a difficult battle. Gain it, however, and it will be difficult to shake.
Gloomy >
Lostwish is not known for being particularly happy. Depression has been a lifelong struggle for her, but in recent years on the Isle Mezzo, Wish is learning to love herself and move forwards in life.

Baby Dragonet >
When Wish was about to hatch, her father, Bluespine, lured her mother, Wanderer, out to the edge of the kingdom. He tried to kill them both, aiming to wipe out the animus bloodline. Wanderer put up a significant fight, wounding Bluespine and managing to escape with her hatchling. From that point forward, they stayed with friends, family, and inns around Pyrrhia. They never stayed anywhere for too long, fearing Bluespine's wrath. Dreamer gave Wish the best childhood she could manage, showing her the world with gentle wings.
Dragonet > As a young dragonet, Wish often got herself into trouble. Usually it was because she was a bit too curious about the things around her. As she reached adolescence, she noticed her mother becoming increasingly nervous. One day, her mother told her to run. She said the academy would have a place for her, and then vanished into the night. She hasn’t been seen since. Wish is determined to know what happened to her mother, and will do whatever it takes to find out.
Wish went to Jade Mountain Academy for two years. There, she befriended Kraken and Mojave, two dragons she would never forget. Keeping her secret, however, proved to be more difficult than ever. When her friends inevitably found out, she wiped the memory of the incident from their minds. When they found out, they were understandably furious.
When rumors began circulating about a rogue animus-hunter, she fled in search of a new home. During her search, she met a member of the alliance. After she explained her situation and displayed her skills and magic, she was recommended and transferred to Pyrrhia-Pantala Academy as soon as she could, where she knew she'd be safer.
Since coming to the Academy, Lostwish has been forgiven by Kraken and Mojave for what she did at Jade Mountain. She became comfortable in her new dorm, and she even started making new friends.
But things began to seem amiss. Eldritch magic was infiltrating this world. After she met with Ox, Merlin, and Strum to decide what was going on, Wish knew what she had to do. Two weeks ago, Lostwish vanished without a trace. Her body was found three days later by none other than Kraken, one of her dear friends. Her body was frozen into cryostasis by Needlepoint.
Wish, along with Sphinx, the master of Illumination, held back the hordes of eldritch beings trying to escape R'lyeh and into the world of Pyrrhia-Pantala. She became known among them as "The Gatekeeper" since she and Sphinx held the gate for so long. She didn't eat, sleep, or drink during the whole two weeks she was there in the inner sanctum, and was casting spell after spell to hold them back. Sometimes, a spell would fail and a counterspell would immediately be cast to return things to her favor. Using this much magic drained her of her very life force, and by the time the others showed up, she was very weak. In the final moments of the event, Wish helped Strum perform the ritual necessary for stopping R'lyeh from spreading to their realm. In the end, Wish was the one who cast the spell that sealed the gate and returned everyone to their bodies, returning the world to the way it had been. But doing so used up everything Wish had left...
Well, almost. For awhile, it seemed, Wish would never awake. She was pronounced brain-dead a few days after the gates to R'lyeh were sealed. Her friends gathered around her, calling to her, asking she return. It seemed the doomed were still somehow connected, and Wish was miraculously brought back from the brink. She spent a bit more than a month in the hospital wing recovering, but since then she's nearly fully recovered, aside from a new scar and a few paranoias.
Since the events of Lurker at the Threshold, Wish has become the apprentice of the Master of Illumination, Sphinx. Being one of the only other animus dragons in existence, it seemed like an obvious choice. She has kept a low profile in the years since, focusing on her studies and trying to stay out of trouble.

PARENTS >
>> Wanderer (mother)
"I love my mother, and I miss her terribly. It's been six years since I last saw her. With each month that passes, the chance of finding her alive decreases even more. Mom, wherever you are, I love you, and I hope you found peace."
>> Bluespine (father)
"I... I'm terrified of my father. After all, he tried to kill me before my eyes opened! Considering he still hasn't found me, I believe he has gone raving mad. He used to be terrifyingly difficult to avoid, but now I'm not even hiding anymore. Maybe he's dead too. Good riddance, old man."
SIBLINGS > None
MATE (if applicable) > N/A

------------------------------
(Describe any others your OC is connected with here, including friends, enemies, etc.)
> Kraken- "Kraken was one of the few friends I had back at Jade Mountain. She's big and tough, and she's very enjoyable to be around. She's funny and smart, and I have nothing but respect for her. She even sort of taught me a little bit about swimming! She's one of my best friends right now, and it's actually kind of nice, having a royal friend. I'm a little disappointed she didn't tell me she was a princess, but who am I to talk about keeping secrets. Either way, I'm so lucky to have her as a friend. I'm so proud of her recent graduation! She deserves all the praise in the world. I've even given her and Mojave a set of animus-touched bracelets. R'lyeh also changed our dynamic, and now we're trauma bonded. Good luck getting rid of me, Kraken!"
> Mojave- "Mo is another dragon I know from Jade Mountain. He's got such gorgeous scales! But oh my, is he tall... He's super friendly and an excellent storyteller! I have such respect for this dragon. I've given him and Kraken a set of animus-touched bracelets I made. Mojave was terrifying when he was possessed by Yog-Shoggoth, but I know he wasn't the one in control. He has quite the future ahead of him."

Crystal Necklace: Invisibility
Wish wears a glowing blue crystal that hangs from a knotted black cord. It was a gift from her mother, and the first item she ever enchanted. When she grabs it, it turns her invisible.
Bag of Holding:
Wish carries a messenger bag that looks fairly normal from the outside. Closer inspection reveals it to be significantly bigger on the inside, and it holds almost everything she owns. There is no organization inside.
Enchanted Paint:
One of the essentials for Wish is her set of magic watercolors. They behave just like normal watercolors, except the images painted with them shift and move.
Mind-Shielding Earring:
Another Wish essential is her mind-shielding earring. It currently looks like a little fern leaf hanging from her ear. It functions as an artificial skyfire, blocking all forms of mind-reading.
Assorted Jewelry:
She wears some horn cuffs, caps, and wraps, and wears a few silver rings. Sometimes she will wear leather cord bracelets with polished stones.
