Sigrid Henderson Born to Edgar the Stubborn, Sigrid is a member of the Stormchaser Viking tribe. A gender biased society, Sigrid was expected to conform to women's role, namely as the cooks, craft-makers and caretakers. In addition, Sigrid was betrothed to the Chief's son, Baldr Armstrong. However, Sigrid was interested in learning to fight and training a dragon, but wasn't allowed either of these because of her gender. In secret, she observed the boys' training sessions and taught herself swordplay and archery. When it came to dragon training, Sigrid snuck into the arena and encountered Baldr's dragon, the only Skrill. The two formed an immediate bond, with Sigrid renaming him Voltage. Sigrid's secret was eventually discovered, and to avoid persecution, she fled Stormchaser island with Voltage, effectively making her a fugitive since she has "stolen" Voltage from Baldr. Sigrid is a skilled swordsman, archer and flyer, capable of maneuvering through violent storms and utilizing lightning bolts to achieve sonic speed. She is highly competitive and eager to prove herself and dislikes being judged based on her gender. With Voltage, she travels the world to find her own destiny, while being pursued by Baldr, who is intent on getting his dragon back and forcing Sigrid to be his wife and take her "rightful place" in society.
Voltage Voltage "Volt" is a Skrill and Sigrid's dragon. The only Skrill to have recently been captured by Stormchasers, he was given to Baldr Armstrong, who gave him an absolutely horrible name. Voltage was very rebellious and hated Baldr's harsh treatment and temperament, but found a strong bond with Baldr's betrothed, Sigrid Henderson, who renamed him Voltage. When Sigrid was to be persecuted for breaking Stormchaser tradition, Voltage helped her escape. Voltage is playful and affectionate to Sigrid - sometimes shocking her to frizz her hair on purpose, but easily turns hostile and protective when he senses danger. He is slow to trust others, but will do whatever Sigrid says. He can breath white fire, shock others with his static electricity and ride lightning bolts to achieve sonic speed.
Stormchasers The Stormchaser Viking tribe is a very isolated tribe located on Stormchaser island, which is surrounded by powerful storms that rip up nearly any boat that attempts to sail through. The society is very gender biased, with men as the warriors and women as the caretakers. Women, by law, are not allowed to learn to fight or posses a dragon. Because of the storms that surround the island, Skrills are common, but highly elusive to capture and even more difficult to train. In addition, the title "Stormchaser" is one of great prestige and respect. In order to attain this title, one must master a Skrill, fly into a storm and ride a lightning bolt. The only one to have done this was Anvindr the Stormchaser, great-great grandfather of Sigrid Henderson. Though Sigrid has also accomplished this in fleeing Stormchaser island to avoid persecution for her breach of tradition, the tribe does not acknowledge her Stormchaser title because of her gender.

Species Name: Shrieking Fury Class: Mystery Class These dragons are very elusive, often hiding out in dense fog and low-hanging clouds in its mountainside/forest home. They are most active around dawn and dusk, relying on the pale lighting to hide them better. They tend to avoid people, and other dragons (except those of its species), but if a human were to train one, it would be extremely loyal to him or her. They are swift, silent fliers, and shoot comet-like bursts of fire the color of their wing membrane. Shrieking Furies appear in a rainbow of colors, varying in the grayish hue of their hide, and the color of their wings and eyes. For example, the green variety would have a light green-gray hide (similar to the blue-gray hide of the dragon shown above) and green colored eyes and wings. They all share the same hard gray underbelly, claws, horns, and spines, however. Their eyesight is strongest in the light of dawn and dusk. They are called Shrieking Furies because of the variety of shrieks, wails, and echoing calls they use to communicate and to scare off invading dragons. They are cousins of the Night Fury. They are about 5 foot tall at the shoulder, but some can be slightly shorter or slightly taller (give or take 2-3 inches). They almost always live in mountainous regions where they have lots of clouds and fog to hide in. They rely on stealth and speed, and won't reveal themselves if they can avoid it. Usually not hostile or aggressive, usually tries to spook invaders over confronting them, but are fierce and strong when they decide to fight back. It has been found that they will befriend other Riders and their dragons that their rider is close to, and will help protect them if necessary.
