PERSONALITY: This Night Fury is very intelligent and alert. She can be clumsy at times, but usually playful. She is very curios about vikings and would like to learn more about them. Nisapha can be mysterious at times, but not much. She can be bold then timid the next depending on what it is. The Night Fury loves to be around other dragons, especially her own kind. Ni is very protective and can be rough and dangerous, but only if needed to be. Nisapha can be clumsy at times, but she is loving to those she knows. She really likes to meet new people, also.



OVERALL PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION: This Night Fury is much like other Night Furies with dark blue-black scales all on her body, but her scales are a bit lighter. Nicapha is lean and young, so she is not that strong and muscular yet. Her wings are a bit smaller because shes smaller then normal Furies, and her tail is short, but her tail fins are a bit long. Ni's big cat-like eyes are a blazing gold color which look more of a lime-yellow at night.

ABILITIES: Like all Furies she has the blue fire witch causes one big explosion. Ni is a very fast flyer and likes to spin sometimes when she is flying. At night her dark blue-black help her camouflage so she can catch prey easier



HISTORY:
Hatchling Years
As a small night fury hatched, her mother curled herself around the hatchling. The little fury opened her golden eyes and looked up at her mother. Ni's mother looked up into the sky for a moment then back at Nicapha. She layed her little head down on Phidrii's paw. As they fell asleep the moon shone brighter in the dark sky.

Morning rays woke the small fury. She yawned then noticed her mother was gone. She shakily walked over to the entrance. Her mother was nowhere to be seen. She perked her little ear flaps for any sign, but got nothing. Her head lowered in sadness, her shiny eyes were full of sorrow. Ni made a little roar then turned, going back into her cave. She started playing with the grass she was laying on. Once she got tired of playing with the grass and closed her yellow eyes. As she got older, Nicapha started watching other creatures hunt and learned quickly. After that she started to fend for herself.

Young Teen Years
The teen Fury walked around the island. She knew it was time to go and explore more. After she made up her mind she stretched her wings and jumped into the air. She hovered a bit then started heading toward the closest place. Once she got there and landed she laid down to rest. Shelooked around at the new place. Ni looked far ahead and a village of vikings were living there. Nicapha tilted her head curiously and waited till night, then she flew up and examined the village. Her eyes saw many vikings and to her surprise, some dragons. Ni turned away and headed toward a nice forest. She found a soft spot and blew fire to make it warmer. Nicapha layed down and twitched her tail, keeping her eyes open for anything.

KEYWORD IN RULES: Toothless



~I'll change species if needed

Nicely done biography, I will point out first. But regardless it seems to be lacking some information. Or merely focusing on the main picture and missing the delight of details. I'm not sure at the moment, lol.

Name: I will start at this: Where did she get her name? Was it from her mother(since it seemed to not be mentioned)? Or was it one she made up herself? While at it, where did the nickname--"Ni"--come from? It is a diminutive of her name, but if she grew up alone and with no friends, then there seems to not be a clear reason why a pet name would manifest.

Likes/Dislikes: This seems to be a resurfacing problem for everyone lately. xD This particular area had reached it's requirements("At least 4"), but it could be better. With no mention of dragon or human contact, how can she know she likes having friends(and I will be bringing up this particular bit, so please bear with me)? Though the dragon template doesn't have an "ambitions" part strangely(but those can be added to the overall personality), does she wish to make friends and family? Because having them initially is one thing, but getting more isn't always on most people's minds. Or would Nicapha aspire to do something else? Little pieces like these help other members if she is ideal for them to RP with their characters--whether "ideal" is in a good or bad sense is left up to them. xDD Though character development will inevitably happen whilst in RP, is there more she likes/dislikes as a result from what she has already experienced? Random little tidbits are great! Gives more umph! to the bio!

Strengths/Weaknesses: There's enough to know how probably a normal dragon-on-dragon fight will turn out, but dragons are capable of many strange things. Is she great or remarkably horrible at anything else? She fended for herself, so surely she taught herself more survival skills that might possibly derive from other instances other than fighting. Is she good at catching food(no doubt, but it's a thought nonetheless)? Resourceful? Because this almost seems required for one to live comfortably on their own. Industrious? And having lived through those times of what appears mere strength of will, is she ambitious(because it could rightfully seem so!)? Lol, hope those got you started, now want to move on to another highlight.

It would probably be best to be more specific about Nicapha's "camouflage." A Night Fury is practically black, so blending in with anything during the daytime is utterly unfathomable. Unless she was swimming the deep, dark depths or Thor's Wrath, but after having a look-see of her swimming dislike, that appears improbable. xDD

Personality: The personality is descriptive, but as I was reading it--several times over, in fact--it just seemed to poke at me. Though I didn't know why. I was thinking about this for a few minutes before I realized what was bugging me, lol. Transition. It was bits and pieces of what was needed, though it felt to me it had no connection from one to the next. I know you gave what was required to get a taste of her attitude and I am happy about that, but getting from one fact to the other felt a bit... random(for lack of better term).

History: Her history is unique, but it is rather vague. There seemed to be a good eight or more year gap from one bit to the next. Maybe this little span of time could better clarify her name and how she got it. And even run into another dragon or two. But the choice is entirely yours. Also, it seemed you were slipping in and out of past and present tense, so be sure to watch for that~ Whether it's in present or past, I'd be fine with either--but not both.

Species: Using a Night Fury is rather common now... But since it is wild, I believe it's alright. but I'd definitely feel better with affirming my decision after another mod's consideration... ToT


So sorry it's ridiculously long! But I felt it was needed! Informative and creative biographies are always amongst the best! ^w^;;

(Dang, Aya, you were just waiting to be assigned moderator XD)

In regards to the species: Sarsar, take a look at my character's profile. There are a lot of similarities that you might want to consider altering for yours so that they're not too similar. Since we already have a wild female Night Fury here, I would appreciate a change of species.

Ok, I'll redo it.
