overall personality • minnow at heart is a good person. no matter how much she doesn't like someone, if she is asked, she will attempt to help and heal and potentially save their life. she doesn't believe anyone deserves death, and all should be given a chance at redemption. though, that is not to say that she is terribly naive. she believes those should be given a chance if they'll actually take it. she is not willing to let people walk over her and her loved ones if it's terribly clear that the enemy is unrepentant. she finds killing distasteful, but will understand its necessity if there truly is no other way and the enemy shows no signs of even wanting to change. she can be blunt and will state what she thinks, and rarely holds her tongue about her own viewpoints, though she can keep a secret if she believes it's for the best. her secrets are usually kept for the others' safety and their peace of mind. she grows quickly irritated when she believes others are being needlessly difficult, and will not hesitate to verbally berate them for their foolishness. despite her own rough attitude, she does love her family and friends and will always be looking out for them, and will be there to comfort if need be.

overall history • minnow's species of dragon tends to form large groups consisting of multiple small family groups. minnow's group had a formal title called dove's rain, named after founder of the group several generations back, dove. minnow was hatched alongside her sister ash roughly at the same time. minnow's childhood was rather peaceful, and she had the opportunity to spend plenty of time with her family. she found a best friend in her cousin flash, though it was considered a rather strange friendship as they had rather different personalities. while minnow tended to tease a lot, flash was rather serious in comparison and thought her teasing was childish. indeed, their friendship seemed strange from an outsider's perspective. minnow's younger days were simple. she was taught how to live by her parents, and her mother taught her how to hunt, though minnow didn't enjoy it as much as some others in her family, such as flash. though, they respected her opinions. some of the adventures that minnow was dragged into, was forcing her injured family members or family friends to actually sit down and rest when they were injured or sick. each case was a trial in of itself, and minnow found a teacher in the art of forcing your loved ones to actually take the steps to improve instead of reopening your wounds or infecting everyone else with your cold, in another dragon named icy. another adventure of sorts that minnow found herself involved in was teaming up with flash to go hunt down flash's younger brother ice, who was a troublemaker who fancied himself some great adventurer. more often than not, minnow's idiot cousin bit off more than he could chew and got horribly lost or got into serious life-threatening danger. one of those times, ice accidentally trespassed on the lands of a rival group of dragons called night's stars. flash and minnow were scarred as they fought off the adolescent dragons that were harassing ice, until all of their parents arrived and scared away their attackers and took all of them home. one adventure that minnow never had though, was forays into romance. minnow never really said it to anyone, but she wasn't really interested in romance. she never felt even a spark of attraction towards anyone beyond platonic desires for friendship. thankfully, she was not actually approached all that much. in their youth, flash was extremely overprotective over his siblings and even his cousins, including minnow. he managed to scare away more or less others from approaching her, though minnow could see other dragons her age staring sometimes.... at least they would never approach them. minnow had plenty of bravery, but there was something a little extra awkward about having to reject someone's affections.

minnow eventually grew up, and made a name for herself amongst the dragons of dove's rain.
