Toad is a tall yet slightly thin bigwings, with a | Toad is a tall yet slightly thin bigwings, with a round nose-bridge and a "general squishy appearance". Their posture is poor, often causing them to appear slightly shorter than they are, yet they stand a head above the average MudWing at full height. Their voice croaks with vocal fry, but is generally soft and melodic. Toad has fire-resistant olive-green scales, often seen spattered with mud and clay. The plates along their back are a sandy brown, with spines and ridges sporting a dull mahogany hue. Their underbelly, paler than most, is a very dull shade of yellow-white due to a minor pigment deficiency. Their eyes are bright gold, and they sport both a gold-copper alloy septum piercing and one hoop earring, of the same metal, on their left ear. | ||

They are rarely quiet, often joking about something or narrating their own actions. A lack of social cues tends to get the better of them, as well as the desire to always be right, but they are otherwise a positive and caring dragon whose joy is infectious. Unfortunately, Toad is very loud about their strong moral compass, often interrupting official proceedings with their criticisms and arguing with those making decisions they deem to be unjust. | ||

Toad was hatched from a blood-red egg in the Royal MudWing Hatchery on June 8th, | Toad was hatched from a blood-red egg in the Royal MudWing Hatchery on June 8th, 8109 A.S. during the reign of their mother, Queen Bulrush, as the bigwings of her only clutch of six eggs. The troop was named by palace staff the day after, with the bigwings being named Toad, after the classification of frogs as a whole, and their siblings being named after species within that group. Toad, along with their siblings, was educated within the Mud Palace by famed royal tutor, Waterwort. They reportedly excelled in their education, receiving high grades and often being cited as "stereotype breakers". According to a scroll printed in 8114 A.S., Toad's best subject was grammar; however, the same scroll noted that they "would still need a scribe during their reign, due to their barbaric talonwriting." | ||
Queen Bulrush stepped down from royalty shortly after Toad and their sibs turned six, passing the throne onto a noble as her own heirs were too young to rule a kingdom.

The royal troop disappeared from the public eye for a bit less than a decade, completing their dragonethood in peace and building a small bunkhouse outside of the now ''Cherry Stronghold''. When Toad turned 12, they briefly enlisted in the royal guard. However, they quickly discovered that joint instability made carrying out combat duties near-impossible. As such, they retired from the guard within a year of joining, souring their status among the military. | ||
Upon the death of their estranged maternal great-uncle, Toad received an inheritance large enough to comfortably support their sibs while they applied for a position in the succession line of the Mud Kingdom. This attempt was successful, marking Toad's return to official aristocracy after seven years of relative silence. Although their time as noble was brief, they dedicated it to supplying aid to wounded dragons during a spree of attacks on hybrids. After the disappearance of King Glade and the death of Queen Cherry within the same few months, Toad found themself yet again a heir of the Mud Kingdom. | Upon the death of their estranged maternal great-uncle, Toad received an inheritance large enough to comfortably support their sibs while they applied for a position in the succession line of the Mud Kingdom.
