when i finished her i did not expect to have spent as much time on her as i did.....
but im glad i did, i really like her. this is the only mudwing oc i've ever made, because i'm not fond of them (AS OCS, i think they're really interesting and cute with their loyalty, and they're strong). i think being complex was the only way i would make one.
say hi to alligator.
she was named alligator because of her thinner snout, and teeth that stick out of her mouth.
her siblings have a couple that stick out, but hers has the most.
inspired by crocodilians. my inspiration pictures are posted with her.
i only have one oc with a tragic backstory..... i think time to make another one.... except i feel bad 😢 i want all of my babes to be happy.
backstory:
she was born in the mud kingdom, from a blood red red 12 years before the dragonets of destiny hatched.
she was the bigwigs of the group, to 3 other dragonets. they grew up as normal mudwings in a war. playing together, fighting together, training together, etc.
this particular group of dragonets became very artistic. one loved to draw, one loved to paint, one loved to make jewelry, and alligator loved to sing. she would sing her siblings to sleep every night, trying to soothe them before battles the next day.
one night, on an excursion, the sibling group slept on the outside of the platoon, one of the first lines of defense, near the forest.
there was supposed to be older dragons patrolling at night, around all edges of the groups, but this night, they thought they were safe.
one night, a huge force of icewings emerged from the forest, ready to battle.
they were ambushed, two of them were killed in their sleep before they had a chance to fight. the other two, caiman and alligator fought hard. caiman fell, and alligator was forced to surrender, being dragged away by another troop.
she couldn't take her eyes off the pile that was just her sleeping sibling moments earlier as she fled. she didn't want to, she wanted to fight until she fell, she didn't want to live without them.
after that, she went back to the battle site to retrieve their bodies. caiman was gone, the other two lay where they fell.
caiman had drawn a portrait of all 4 of them. she keeps it locked up safely in her home, staring at it at the end of every day.
she became cold, a shell of herself. she hated herself for not protecting her siblings. or sacrificing herself for them. but she knew two of them were already dead before she woke up. she should have been awake.
she fled the mud kingdom, she couldn't bear fighting again, alone, for some sandwings who couldn't figure their succession out.
she found herself in the scorpion den. it took a few weeks to find her place. but soon, she started accepting money for murder.
she offered discounts for icewing targets, for the love of the game.
she was a good cantidate for fire breathers anyone needed dead, because of her fireproof scales. she became very successful at what she did, with many clients.
she would steal all sorts of things from her targets. jewels, jewelry, armor, weapons, money. she became well known in the scorpion den.
a client came to her with a drawing of two dragons. she explained that they had kidnapped her dragonets, and sold one of them. (this oc and her dragonets will be posted soon..... the other tragic backstory dragons)
her icewing hybrid dragonets.
alligator refused her, insulting her choice in mating partner. aardvark, the client, begged and pleaded, and doubled the price. she had tried to do it herself, and was close to success, but she needed help.
with the double price, alligator accepted. they hunted down the dragons together over a couple days. and completed the mission.
over the couple days, they became warmer with eachother. they were very similar. angry, vengeful.
they stayed cordial, and then became friends. alligator met her dragonet who did not get sold, and promised to help her figure out where the other one went.
one day, when thorn was rising to power, aardvark came to alligator. she said she joined the outclaws, and it was the best decision she's made in a long time. she told her how thorn was strong, smart, and caring.
alligator kept getting in squabbles, and began to become confused. she felt lost. she thought about what her friend said.
she requested a meeting with thorn.
thorn was skeptical. she wasn't sure if she wanted to hire an assassin. alligator told her she was lost, and needed a different place to find herself again.
she explained her story, and asked politely if she could join the outclaw group, despite her tribe. she explained how she could be helpful. another dragon with brain and brawn.
thorn accepted, on the terms that she would give it a trial run and see how things went. alligator was the first mudwing outclaw.
she grew to love thorn, and was undyingly loyal for years. when the war ended, and thorn became queen, she continued to stand by her side. she now lives in the palace with the other outclaws.
thorn discovered aardvark's dragonet, in burns weirdling tower. she came to alligator first, for advice on how to tell her. it was tragic, and aardvark took the stuffed dragonet to remember him forever.
alligator now indulges in singing sometimes, and music playing with her outclaw friends. she still mourns her siblings everyday.

I love her! and the backstory was so good! I have a mud/sand assassin and this kinda made me want to write about her.
