NAME: Keye
AGE: 1 1/2 years
GENDER: Female
STANDING: Wild
Type: Flamehuffer
LIKES:
-Tricking others(playfully or otherwise)
-Flying
-Warm weather
-Scorched meat
-Fire
-Noon
DISLIKES:
-Water
-Objects or others getting in her way
-Loud noises
-Provocation
-Small spaces
STRENGTHS:
-Cautious, wary
-Sense of hearing
-Eyesight(quite good in sunlight, not terrible in darkness, though it does take some time to adjust)
-Aim
WEAKNESSES:
-Not Camouflaged well outside fiery areas.
-Isn't very trusting of others(In fights, often found alone)
-Sense of smell(Smoke from herself interferes with the outside environment's scent)
-Tends to rely on her lava more than her claws(Clumsy in close-combat)
-Water(regular flamehuffer weakness)
FEARS:
-Death
-Humans
-Weapons
-Betrayal
-Winter
PERSONALITY: Keye's still quite young, but her personality is very solitary and distrusting due to early experiences that were set in her brain. Her mistakes are learned from, and not repeated often, due to her careful nature. If she does meet other dragons, or humans, they would have to work very hard to earn her trust. Since this is the case, if someone were to gain this trust, she would be very loyal to them, and likely never forget the friendship unless betrayed. For humans, she would keep her eyes on them at all times, and listen around for sounds of approach as well, for she knows where there's one, there's almost always more. If provoked, she gives several warnings before attacking, snarling and some false charges. If these tactics fail, she would then resort to spitting lava at them, to either hit, or scare away, while fleeing, herself. For dragons, she'd be more neutral(maybe curious, depending on how the other dragon acts/looks), not nice, but not exactly aggressive, either. This also scales for the age and size of the dragon, if it is larger and/or older than her, she'd be more polite and careful, if it's smaller and/or younger, more reckless(gruff as well, perhaps, depending on their personality).

HISTORY:
0 - half year
Keye's egg had been laid in a chamber of a volcano, as was traditional for Flamehuffers. Her mother was the only one to watch over the eggs, which meant that when she left, these was no one else to guard. This resulted in only one other egg besides her own surviving through the first days when the shell's sides were soft, the cave had many opportunistic predators. When the eggs did hatch, there was not enough food supplied by her mother, due to humans in the area, and a shortage of food. She hung on, however, until this time passed, by hunting rats in the cave, and stealing what her sibling managed to scrounge up, which led to his death after a while. Keye was too young to care too much, and just saw it as an opening to get more food from her mother, which meant she grew stronger.
After a while, she grew large enough, and strong enough to fly, at which point she left the cave to look outside for the first time. Her time with her mother was running short at this time, she had but to learn a few lessons before she was going to be left to her own devices for the rest of her life. She was taught to fly, running toward, and jumping off of large rocks while flapping her wings until she finally got it. At this point, they were noticed. She was so excited by the flying, that she decided to flaunt, and spat a stream of lava at a nearby tree. It, of course, caught fire, and a nearby human noticed, and came rushing, prepared by sightings of dragons it had seen earlier.
It and two others threw a strange rope object over her mother, trapping her against the ground, she fought back, trying to burn through the rope quickly, but the humans clamped her mouth shut with a chain. Keye panicked, and stayed put because of this, she didn't know how to react to something like this. The human cornered her, and though she tried to defend, she failed. In the end, a chain was bound around her jaws as well, rendering her defenseless and confused. When the human moved out with her mother, she followed, for she was dependent. When the camp was reached, they were chained to rocks, with the muzzle still on.
After a while, another human appeared, and showed anger at the sight of her mother, yelling in anger, and the other humans rushed to beat her mother to death with those menacing hammers of theirs. Keye knew what death was, she'd killed rats in her cave when she was young and hungry, but she didn't understand why her mother had been killed, for the humans didn't leap on the corpse to eat it after it was done. For this reason, she began to panic, which led to the muzzle loosening, and sliding off. The site was quickly fled from.
Half year - year 1/2(Hunting and evasion)
Her mother was mourned for two days, then quickly forgotten about, for the young dragon needed food, and she needed it now. The next few days were spent flying around in frustration from not being able to kill anything. Her tactics at this point included randomly charging, and spitting lava all around the area in hopes of trapping something, or injuring something, and instead scaring it all away. Once, she got lucky and happened upon a human camp that was empty at the time, she was careful, and snuck in to raid their stash of dried meat. Those nasty devils deserved to have their food stolen, after all. It occurred to her to try sneaking up on her prey, or dropping from the air quickly to land on it's back.
The next months leading up to her first year were spent perfecting this, and working her way up to larger prey. After this, she spent her time and energy learning to give enemies the slip. There was the occasional large, predatory dragon to hide from, as well as those tricky humans that were always around.
