Glory: Character Profile

Glory is a liked yet out of place member of the Dragonets of Destiny, and is proven to be second-most-popular of her group. What I mean by out of place is that she’s a Rainwing, and therefore not originally included in the prophecy. The fact that Glory doesn't belong made her the target of her Guardian’s rage, particularly violent Kestrel and Dune, in her unwelcoming former home. 

From the beatings she received under the mountain, Glory developed a side to her personality that does not show the slightest sign of discomfort. However, this system is often broken by her colourful emotions spreading across her scales. This frustrates Glory. One of her main traits is sarcasm. Her sarcastic ego can regularly start fights between herself and Tsunami, one of the more easily angered dragonets. Glory and Tsunami’s relationship isn’t always the most harmonious. Overall, they are friends, judging by Tsunami’s reaction when the fake Glory Head arrived at Jade Mountain. Because of the description of Glory so far, you may be thinking that she is a heartless non-feeling pessimist; this is definitely not the case. Even though there are many things that Glory doesn't like about Phyrria, there are a lot of things she does. Some of them, however, she is not happy about her liking for it. Here is an exemplary scene.

Warmth flooded through her, as if she was rolling in molten gold.  This, she thought as her eyes closed and all her muscles relaxed. I could have slept in the sun like this every day of my life. Forget the stupid prophecy. This is the destiny I was supposed to have.

Glory woke up refreshed and relaxed, but as she lay there with her eyes closed, she felt a wave of strange anger at herself.

This scene was set in the rainforest when Glory has her first suntime. Being very dignified for a Rainwing, she likes to think she is not as “lazy” or “stupid” as the others. In the previous scene she proves to herself she actually enjoys suntime and is therefore angry at herself. I think by letting go and learning that nobodies’ perfect she could be a lot happier.

Profile

Tribe: Rainwing

Age: 7

Book Number: 3

Job: Dragonet of Destiny

Appearance

Glory boasts (when she is not colour changing) the default colours of: Orange, Red, Aquamarine, Green, Yellow, and Navy Blue. Long slender neck and body. What her friends would describe “pretty” and “beautiful”.

Special Abilities

Can shoot venom from her fangs, (Even though other Rainwings can do that.) and has remarkably good fighting skills. (Especially considering that her tribe is known to be peaceful. I wouldn’t go far enough to say they are lazy.)

Likes:

• Deathbringer (though she won’t admit it)

• Her friends (though she won’t admit it)

• Suntime (though she won’t admit it)

Dislikes: 

• Water

• Studying

• Cold Places

Clearly, under the surface of this sassy, seemingly grumpy dragon, there is a passionate; kind and loving personality waiting to be let out! There is more to Glory than let on.

Special thanks to Nikita, a huge Glory fan, and my awesome Wings-of-Fire-Fan… Friend! (WOFFF) I hope you always find your inner Glory!
