Description Shii'Qua Ref

Background: Shii'qua is the sea mother, the watcher of young and caregiver. Shii'qua was believed to be a dragon sent by the gods to be the savior of abandoned mammals, of any kind. She was actually the only child of a serpent and a air dragon, who have both died of old age. Shii'qua was abandoned by her parents when she was young and adopted by a passing fishing boat. the humans raised her as a child of there own, despite the fact she was a dragon. she learned to love humans and any mammal around her. when she was roughly 10 in her years her foster parents were old and weak, but she cared for them. one day her home was raided by dragons, and her foster parents were killed, but she was left unharmed, a tiny dragon left all alone. for a thousand years she did not go within 50miles of her home, until she learned to fly. she despised dragons, and any contact with them would not happen. shii'qua was along for thousands of years until she found, while exploring the deep sea, abandoned eggs. she thought of how she was adopted and knew her existence was to care for the lost and abandoned, why else was she giving such a prolonged life? shii'qua, for thousands upon millions of years has claimed her place as the mother of the abandoned. she was met with a challenge one day, by the dragon god to care for his egg, who would later become soul. since he had breed with his only love, the mistress of the mist, the care taking angels would not care for a "mortal dragon".

Info: Shii'qua is sterile, the most depressing thing she has experienced is to not be able to bear a child of her own, but only to care for them. she has water and healing powers. her tail is extremely powerful and can push her to reach extremely fast speeds in water. she will wrap her wings around her when swimming, and when outside water she can fly fast. she cannot be w/o water for more than 2 weeks, or else she will dry up and die. her markings glow in dark places and used to attract food. she is always seen carrying some sort of egg or child. her colors are that of a marlin and she has a "sword" on her lower chin. her tail and neck are very strong due to there size and significance. her legs are short and stout but rarely used, since she is mostly laying, flying, or swimming. she has a large set of gills on sides of her neck near her head. her eyes usually glow and are 3 colors. her scales are prismatic and ofter shine the colors of her surroundings. her scales are also as hard as diamonds, usually unbreakable, though worth a ton if found by those with currency and only a few have been made into swords wielded by guardians. the 3 black dots on her horns are black pearls she shoved into the holes that were there, her jewels. her fins are flexible and can shift to matcher her pose, so are her neck and tail.

Personality: Shii'qua is very loving and has never expressed anger, even though it burns deep for fire dragons. she is shy and is always sad, never a smile seen in her life. shes very passive and neutral. she has never hurt anything, she she is to gentle and scared. she is very mysterious and spontaneous. whenever she sheds a tear, it rains, when she is angry, a storm occurs, but she is never happy, so wherever she goes, clouds are over head.

Shii'qua forever searches for a mate to accept her for not being able to bear young, but this may never come...

lololol tis easy with 1 layer plain color, 1 layer set to multiply using same color as background color (scale outline) duplicate that layer and set it to screen and move it down a little to give the scales a shiney outline. *extra 1 layer set to color and color, if multiple colors (like mine), and then 1 layer to add added details like shading/lighting sounds hard, but its easy lol
