Roost

Roost is a five-year-old SkyWing dragonet who joined the Legends while searching for his mother. He is known for being remarkably nervous and for his cartography skills.

History
Roost was hatched roughly six years before the events of The Burning, in the underground city of Mt. Tourmaline. His mother was an ambitious sort of lawkeeper and private eye, looking to serve justice. His father was of the meeker sort, and Roost inherited that nervous nature. His elder sister, Breeze, joined the army shortly after he was born, and his mother left often on "business trips" so Roost spent the bulk of his childhood with his dad, learning about birds and maps. Just a week before The Burning struck Pyrrhia, Jasper left on what would be her longest trip yet, to investigate the mysterious breeding program running about. This was the last Roost ever saw of her yet. He lost his father when The Burning collapsed his city. With Picante dead, Breeze busy in service and Jasper the only one he had left to turn to, Roost left home for what may have been the first time, all alone, to look for his mother. He followed the trail she left behind, going halfway across Pyrrhia, until he stumbled upon the Snow Kingdom and got wrapped up into everyone's shenanigans.

Physical Appearance
Roost is rather small for his age, looking about three. His scales are a paler orange than usual, almost like a creamsicle. The most notable feature about him is his bright golden feathers, which grow in a mane-like ruff around his neck and, more recently, along the top of his wings. Roost was born with these feathers, the result of a genetic condition known as Pinnatism.

Personality
Roost started his adventure as an incredibly meek, shy dragon who felt all alone in the world. After a bit of time spent with the dragons in the Snow Kingdom, he slowly built up his confidence in himself. He still has mild social issues when meeting new dragons, but he'll always face these problems with a nervous smile cracking on his face.

Powers
Roost, like his adoptive father Mirage, gained the power of wind manipulation after dying of an infected Rotter bite sustained in the cave. He can create wind and bend it to his will, using it to accomplish hundreds of feats from sustained gliding to levitation to even the occasional storm. His drawback is not necessarily linked to the overuse of his power, but rather his emotional state. When he experiences extreme, negative emotions (fear, anger, sadness, guilt, etc.) Roost physically becomes an unstable storm, wreaking havoc until he calms down of his own volition or is subdued by a friendly party.

Present-Day Status
Roost effectively lives in the Snow Palace, happy to be with his family. Among his current ambitions are to understand and master his power a bit more, and to continue work on his updated map of Pyrrhia, now including the Snow Kingdom.
