Description

Otter has relatively neutral light brown scales, which slightly lean towards warm tones on his sides and back. He has a mask of dark brown on his face, with an extra arc of tealish-blue scales lined with two glowscales on his cheeks. Her eyes are a golden color, with a darker sclera and lighter iris. Otter's underbelly is a very light brown shade, similar to her sides, although much lighter and a touch yellower. Her dorsal scales are a deep brown, the same shade as her face, and lay in a caped pattern that swirls around the shoulders and hips. Within those swirls lie one glowscale each, similar to a sharp cattail plant. Along the side of his underbelly is a small spattering of thin but tall glowscales. Her back left foot has a “sock” pattern, the same color as his dorsal scales.

To put it simply, "A stout brown and mint colored hybrid. A lighter underbelly, soft dry mud-brown scales, and a dark back- Speckled with different shades of mintish green. Certain areas glow, some do not. Amber colored eyes, and sharp black horns." - @kinnmin, on discord.

Personality

Otter tends to be quiet and reserved, only showing her actual emotions when he is familiar with the other dragon. His thoughts are quite filled with bloodlust and interest in all things gorey, and she quickly grows bored of things that aren't remarkably stimulating. She is relatively vocal about her thoughts on activities or dragons that fail to pique her interest, indicating a sort of impatience about her. Despite her visceral thoughts, he enjoys assisting the injured or abandoned animals he may find and spends his days working as a bartender.

Biography

Hatched near the Diamond Spray Delta, Otter had no siblings, and therefore lacked the instincts that a pureblooded Mudwing might have, lacking this trait due to the Seawing being more dominant for his behaviors and part of his appearance. Early on, she developed an interest in combat, many times walking off from her hatching ground to watch some of the warriors fight, and when she was catching small fish, Otter tended to try and mimic those techniques and adapt them to the water, as hard as it was to the dragonet.

A few years later, she came across an injured Shoebill Stork, for a few moments, she debated on killing it, but couldn't bring himself to kill such a weak creature, figuring it would be unfair to win a fight against another that had no means of escape, seemingly a broken leg, and for once, he had pity for it. Deciding to take the bird back and care for it, despite his knowledge lacking. Overtime, a few more animals were found in need of help, three more, to be specific.

Another few years had passed, Otter now actively participating in combat training whenever he had free time. Finally thinking she had something of what it could take to deal with threats, despite having that for years already, she thought of getting more power, spotting a weak noble on the Mudwing royalty board, Viscount Cranberry, a reddish and small Mudwing with their back-left leg missing. Despite her assistance of those who were weak, her mind was clouded at the time, challenging the Viscount and seeing his step-down afterwards as cowardly. Not that long after acquiring nobility, the hybrid attended the Harvest Festival, not expecting such bloodshed, but admittedly welcomed the theatre-like performance.

Quotes

• "An amazing performance from you, I must admit. Such showcase of strength, too! The entire event was quite intriguing, different from most boring ones I imagine." Referencing the Festival to be the performance, quite entertained by it. Not spoken face-to-face, but rather through the Royalty Stones.

Trivia

• Otter was made with help of @satan1015 on discord for certain details.
• She has an interest in all things gory, and almost always reviews battle tactics and ways to kill or be killed.
• He applied for his position because he felt he needed to, as then she might be of more assistance than currently.
• Being the current Crown Noble of the MudWings, Otter's full title is "Otter, Noble of Swamp and Sea".
• Otter was mostly just a fun thought Moss had, citing otters to be “quite evil in real life, not all the 'cute and fun' things shown”. When designing him, they wanted to have her seem approachable, with some spiky or sharp details to slightly allude to her less desirable attributes.
