Name: Overcast

Gender: Female

Age: Six

TIMELINE: In an AU where she's one of the Dragonets of Destiny

Story Title: Wings of Fire, The Dragonet Prophecy – Alternate Universe: Prison Break 

Description: Large female IceWing dragonet with light moon-silver scales and cobalt blue eyes, a bit taller than Tsunami but a bit lither than Clay. Whip-thin tail, serrated claws. Forked blue tongue. Dark blue blood. White scales flecked throughout the underside of her wings, and freckled on her snout. White underbelly.

Friends: Clay (MudWing), Tsunami (SeaWing), Glory (RainWing), Starflight (NightWing), Sunny (SandWing) – fellow dragonets under the mountain who are her family; Peril (SkyWing) – friend who helped the dragonets held prisoners in the SkyWing Kingdom escape.

Enemies: Kestrel (SkyWing), Webs (SeaWing), Dune (SandWing) – minders under the mountain who were abusive and violent towards the dragonets; [Queen] Scarlet (SkyWing) – the Queen who trapped the dragonets as prisoners in the SkyWing Kingdom.

Personality (traits): Unpredictable, charismatic, impulsive, protective of her friends (especially Sunny) and fierce; kind most of the time (especially to Tsunami, Sunny and Clay). Tries to be optimistic and encouraging to the dragonets she likes (Sunny, Clay and Tsunami). Violent, calculating and manipulative at worst. Generally standoffish and disagreeable to dragons she doesn't like (including Glory and sometimes Starflight). 

Abilities: Can withstand subzero temperatures and bright light; can exhale a deadly frostbreath; ridged claws to grip the ice; better-than-average at swimming; able to hold her own in battle.

Strengths: Holds the second best fighting prowess in the group (right behind Tsunami) as she uses her size, serrated claws and violent personality as advantages in battle. Overcast is fairly manipulative once outside the mountain, and she uses her imposing personality and charisma to her advantage to scare others into doing what she wants of them.

Weaknesses: No impulse control. Very quickly resorts to violence. Wildly unpredictable, and has the wrong mindset/a slightly off-kilter moral compass (elaboration because I'm bad at explaining: basically in the excerpt, during Chapter Four when Tsunami is chained up by the minders and Overcast slashes Morrowseer's face, Overcast doesn't see that what she did was wrong. She's convinced she was protecting Tsunami's leadership skills). Basically she's a bit all over the shop and pretty much an anti-hero because the expectations to literally save the broken world plus the years of experiencing and witnessing horrific mistreatment to herself and her friends has hardened Overcast and nurtured her already naturally wild-child personality into an unstable explosive. Think of Raph from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: for an IceWing, she has very little chill!

Role In Team: Wild Card

Others' Role In Team: Clay - Protector. Tsunami - Leader. Glory - Secret Weapon. Starflight - Brains. Sunny - The Surprise. 

Part In Prophecy: (After Clay's part, and before Sunny's) "The speckled IceWing egg nigh resides / in light of moons on cliff-face high."
(Whole thing reads:
"For wings of earth, search through the mud
for an egg the colour of dragon blood.
The speckled IceWing egg nigh resides
in light of moons on cliff-face high.
And hidden alone from rival queens
the SandWing egg awaits unseen.")

FAMILY
QUARTZ – Quartz is Overcast's younger brother, but acts like he's older due to emotional intelligence; part of the Alternate/Fake Dragonets of Destiny as Overcast's counterpart. Quartz is gleamy white and shares his sister's cobalt-blue eyes, but his scales are scuffed and dimmed due to time spent trapped in the NightWing volcano – and, alternatively to his sister, is flecked with silver freckles. Quartz is very good-natured and good-aligned; he does NOT want to be Morrowseer's pawn, and his altruism is his best quality. Quartz's moral compass is spot-on, and he wants to fix the world the RIGHT way (so he's basically a hero-hero to his sister's anti-hero, lol). I have plans for him to break out of the NightWing volcano to get to the real Dragonets of Destiny, where he will reunite with his sister. This most likely takes place in the rainforest during Book Four.
I see Quartz as 100% gay and have plans for him to meet another dragon called Lemming while on the run from the NightWings/Morrowseer and who is basically Qibli in IceWing form (charming, lighthearted, laid-back, very much a jokester). I'm planning for Quartz to fall for Lemming and his stormy-grey eyes.
I'm debating on making Quartz an animus as well as being a stand-up guy, which he can maybe use in his escape from the NightWing volcano. Maybe not though. We'll see.
HOWLITE – Howlite is the father of Overcast and Quartz. He is a really nice and chill dude, in a tired way, who doesn't care a fig for the IceWing hierarchy – in fact outright opposing it, due to seeing the corruption of the monarchy unfairly killing his mother. Howlite loved his children genuinely, and was in ruins when Overcast's egg was stolen by Hvitur and Quartz's was taken by the NightWings. I imagine him being pale white, tinged very faintly with ice blue on his wings and claws.
MAUVE – Howlite's mother and grandmother of Quartz and Overcast, was the one who taught Howlite to think for himself and oppose the hierarchy; she loved him like how he loved his dragonets. Mauve was an animus who kept her powers secret; the IceWing Queen before Glacier took the throne, Queen Radiance, was known to be especially unjust and Mauve did not want to be used for Radiance's frivolous gain. Queen Radiance found out about Mauve's powers somehow, and sent her generals after the purple IceWing. Mauve, who was always gentle by nature and didn't want to fight anyone, ended up dead due to "treason against the Queen".
FOAM – Howlite's wife and mother of Quartz and Overcast, but to put it bluntly, she's an evil bitch. You know the character Petalcloud from my favourite book series of all time, The Guardian Herd? Yeah, she's like Petalcloud in IceWing form.
Foam knows little about Howlite's ancestry, but enough to know that he's related to the notorious disobeying animus, Maeve. Foam has dragonets with Howlite to get close to that power, in the hopes that she'll be able to manipulate her possible animus children to do her bidding.
Foam is bright silver like her daughter, except more severe on the eyes. She looks almost dark in comparison to the regular IceWing. 

Theme Songs:
1. Unstoppable by The Score (notable lyrics: "There's a moment, in your bones when, when the fire takes over; blood is running, heart is pumping, as the battle gets closer..." and "We can be heroes, everywhere we go, we can have all that we'd ever want; swinging like Ali, knocking out bodies, standing on top like a champion! Keep your, silver or, give me that gold! You'll remember me when I say we can be heroes, everywhere we go! Keeping us down is impossible, cuz we're unstoppable!")
2. VILLAIN by K/DA (notable lyrics: "You know I can be so cold... In the dark, where I like to keep my heart; know I'm all bite, no bark – love to catch you way off guard", "Time to roll the dice, you know I'm the type, type to make you cry, type to put a price, all up on your head, do just what I said... I'm a straight-up villain, straight-up villain, get no feeling, yeah no feeling...", "Is it really a surprise if I'm playing with your mind? ... Am I really that bad if I love to make you mad, and get happy when you're sad? ... In control, that's how I like it and I'm never letting go!", and "Just do what I say; follow me, I'll lead the way..."
3. Pain by Hollywood Undead (notable lyrics: "So you look to me to find the truth and what I say is what you do, but everyone you look up to is really as mucked up as you! Time is getting shorter, with these enforced disorders! And we get blamed and pushed around, so who's the fucking villain now?!" and "We can't stop now, we're so close now, 'cause these times are almost over! I won't give up, so God save us, it feels like we're getting closer!")
4. Believer by Imagine Dragons (notable lyrics: "First thing's first, I'm fired up and tired of the way that things have been, oh! Second thing's second, don't ya tell me what ya think that I can be! I'm the one at the sail, I'm the master of my sea! ... I was broken from a young age... singing from heartache, from the pain; taking my message, from the veins; speaking my lesson, from the brain; seeing the beauty through the... PAIN!" and "I was choking, in the crowd; building my rain up, in the cloud; falling like ashes, to the ground; hoping my feelings, they would drown... Last thing's last, by the grace of the fire and flames! We're the faces of the future, the blood in my veins!... But they never did, effortless, ebbing and flowing! Inhibited, limited, 'til it broke up and it rained down! It rained down, like... PAIN! You've made me a, you've made me a believer! Believer! Pain! You break me down, you build me up, believer! Pain! Oh let the bullets fly, oh let them rain! My love, my luck, my drive, they came from – pain! You've made me a, you've made me a, believer! Believer!")
5. Final Judgement Day by Five Finger Death Punch (notable lyrics: "You get one for the chamber, two for good health – I know a little 'bout people and a lot about Hell! Playin' ring around the daisies with a shot-gun shell! If you've gotta take a life, better keep it to yourself; seems every time I think there's just a little bit of hope someone comes out swingin' with a dead man's rope..." and "You gotta watch for the shot, beware the ricochet – dance, dance, motherfucker, 'til the war drums play! I know a little 'bout death, and a lot about pain; I ain't ever seen a storm that don't end in rain. Gotta pay the Pied Piper, every dog will have his day! But don't stress the mess, 'cuz it's all so cliche! You can run around in circles, but it always ends the same: you'll be swingin' from the end of a dead man's chain! Doomed if I do, doomed if I don't; doomed if I will, doomed if I won't! Damned if I try, damned if I fail – GOD DAMN YOU ALL TO HELL!")
