Wings of Fire critic

Aurora Borealis (BookloverInsomnia)

Name: Aurora Borealis

(Common name is super common! Also a little nonsensical. Her mom which we later learn is a night/rain hybrid somehow knows what the Aurora Borealis is despite living in the very far south in the rainforest where such would never occur. And even if she read about it or heard about it somewhere she's still being named after something her mom would overall have no connection to and has likely never even seen in person (in dragon?)

Name reason: her appearance (you'll see)

('You'll see' is my least favourite way to fill out a category, it's not too hard to explain that her appearance resembles the colouration of the Aurora Borealis. We also still don't know Nightsong decided that name in particular.)

Age: it depends when you're asking, but let's just say 4

Gender: female

Sexuality: straight

Tribe(s): equal parts Nightwing, Rainwing, Seawing (yes, it's equal, you'll see)

(Very specific details for no specific reason. This happens a lot with this oc so let's start a counter! Oddly specific details for seemingly no specific reason: 1)

Time period/era: about 30 years after Jade Mountain prophecy, give or take

(Future ocs are very hard to critique, because everyone's interpretation of what happens in the future is different. At the same time that's the cool thing about it.)

Occupation: none so far

(So she's four years old and doesn't do anything? Not a student of some kind or nothing? No participation in any royal duties? If she doesn't have a occupation now what does she hope to do or want to be?)

Looks: Aurora's description is unique to her. Being a tribrid, animus created, she has many striking characteristics. Green so dark it is almost black fades to the rainbows of colors her namesake holds, glowing scales below her eyes and on her wings, taking the place of the star scales of a Nightwing. The colors on her back and wings shift, Rainwing heritage, not something she can control (or the "twinkling" of her star scales). The shifting of colors further pushes her similarity to the heavenly lights. Her eyes are honey colored gold and brown, and she has teardrop scales near her eyes, though no Nightwing powers to speak of.  (Oddly specific details for seemingly no specific reason: 2) Her wings and tail are shaped like a Rainwing, body and horns of a Nightwing.

Personality: Aurora, growing up with her mother, gained some of the closed off personality, though not all. Her mother often called her the most extroverted of introverts, randomly blurting out to interrupt any conversation she finds interesting, then becoming embarrassed at herself. Her creation, the animus involvement, was no secret (So... Nightsong/Nightsong's family just... told everyone for some reason? I get not being ashamed of it but was there any real reasoning for it? Not sure what their logic was practically blurting out to the whole kingdom that this new kid in their family was animus created, it seems like all it did was cause Aurora problems.) so while hybrids were becoming more and more accepted in their world, Aury still felt outcasted. This led to most of her introverted behavior. She is kind, though blunt and snarky (which sometimes makes her seem like she's being mean but she has no bad intentions) (Gained some of the traits but not all of them, which traits and what does that mean? Due to lack of explaining, we will never know. Also the fact that she's mentioned to be introverted but likes talking and spending time with others, suggesting she's less of an introvert and more of an ambivert)

Powers/abilities: breathing underwater (she has none of the Nightwing or Rainwing abilities)

(And yet no gills to speak of, and no other abilities? Like, she has no skills or talents outside her tribal powers? We also learn that somehow she is immune to her mother's abilities, this isn't listed. Also she can breath underwater if not with gills but by magical means... but lives in the middle of the Rainforest Kingdom (assuming in the Rainwing Village with her family) and if she doesn't have gills she found this out... how?)
