Esteria *spoilers
Esteria is a female titanwing new Night Fury born with royal blood, as her parents were King and Queen. She gained her titan glow in a battle when she was young, as she defended her young friend Nightfall from a Snow Wraith ambush when they were exploring.
She spends the majority of her life in her natural home, The Shadows, a darker and colder environment that the new Night Furies reside within. Though she does accompany her Father and Mother on their expeditions here and there, giving her a good sense of everything within the Hidden World.
Background *spoilers
Esteria was born as the only daughter of King Asazin and Queen Twila, making her a blood heir to the position of Alpha. Esteria led a relatively normal life (for a royal heir, that is), until the tragic day when both her parents went on a Hunting Expedition resulting in Queen Twila's death. After her father returned, and the chaos that came after losing a Queen was handled, life went on as normal.
A few days after Esteria had turned 15, her father woke up after a vivid dream he believed was a vision. He claimed that he foresaw the Hidden World collapsing, and he explained this to the kingdom. He began organizing a way for the dragons to slowly leave the Hidden World in order to escape before tragedy, but before he could fulfill any of his plans, the first collapse came.
The Sand Wraiths' hatchery began to crumble, and King Asazin rushed in to help save the eggs, only to be killed as heavy debris crushed him.
This left Esteria to inherit the throne of Queen and Alpha. She decided that the Sand Wraith Hatchery collapse was enough proof that her father was right about the Hidden World's demise. She continued with his work to try and find a way for Dragons to escape tragedy and re-introduce themselves to humans, though it turned out to be much more difficult than she ever could have imagined.
The rest of her story can be found in the fan-fiction, A Fading Star will Rise Again, and its sequal, True Stars Never Fade.
Personality
Esteria is a very bold dragon who loves adventure, though she is very insecure. She is a strong leader and good at making big decisions, though she never believes this about herself. She does not trust anyone easily and always has her guard up, also being a strong fighter and incredible at stealth attacks, that is, if she can avoid distractions. Esteria is a very easily distracted dragon with a short attention span, which can be found as a weakness.
Esteria's favorite things to do would be flying at night, spending time with friends, or quite often she simply enjoys being alone.
Esteria is very insecure about making mistakes, and tries her hardest to act older than she is. Though when allowed, she shows the playfulness and energy any dragon her age should. She loves the cold and the dark, and especially the moonlight and lightning.
Theme Song
Esteria would be best represented by the songs, Dear Insecurity, Demons, and Dancing in the Dark for many reasons.
thanks Miaou9, Nightfury4eva, and LightFury271 for the the help!
Appearance
Esteria is a jet-black new Night Fury with three rows of spines, one along each side and one along her back. Her underbelly is usually purple and her eyes are a vibrant blue. Being born "royal" and being a titanwing, she has glowing yellow "markings" to show dominance, though she can use them at will. These markings are illuminated along all three rows of spines, the upper edges of her wings, and in a star shape around her right eye.
Fan Fiction Appearances
Esteria makes her appearances in the fan fictions, A Fading Star will Rise Again and A New Hope, Sharper Edges, as well as the crossover stories, Shadows Rise, Hearts Fade, A Nadder's Tail Begins, and Stars Never Die. If you would like to feature Esteria in a fan fiction of your own, please feel free to do so! I only ask that you let me know, so that I can fangirl over your writing!
Abilities
Blasts
Esteria has the normal Night Fury blasting abilities, including Plasma Blasts and a Lightning Shot.
Nighttime Vision
Esteria has fair vision, pretty average for a dragon's, though she can see very well in the dark..
Agility
Esteria is extremely agile and quick on her feet, being aerodynamic and slim. Her reflexes are strong, she is able to dodge obstacles easily, that is if she can keep focus, which is rare.
Intelligence
Esteria is a very intelligent dragon, much like Toothless was. She also has a 'sense' for when trouble may be approaching, and she knows how to react rationally.
Stealth
Esteria is extremely stealthy in the dark, she can fly and walk silently and almost melt into the shadows. In the daytime, though, she is much more vulnerable as light may make her stand out.
Retractable Spines
Esteria has razor-sharp retractable spines along her sides and back. These can slice through a dragon's scales with ease, but in order to do so she'd have to be very close to a dragon and expose her underbelly, leaving her somewhat vulnerable.
Glowing Markings
Being royal and a titanwing, Esteria has glowing markings that she can use to show dominance. She can also control the markings at will, which can provide light for any dragons who might not be able to see in the dark the way she can.
Weaknesses & Fears
Attention Span
Esteria, as mentioned, is easily distracted. This has ruined several stealth missions and attacks, as well as formal meetings, because she spots something else to focus on. She doesn't have a long attention span either, making it hard to have a long conversation with a dragon who may have concerns for their Queen.
Direct Sunlight
As any Night Fury, Esteria is weaker in the sunlight. It drains her energy, making it so she cannot fly for long, and her shot limit decreases from 6 to 5.
Extreme Heat
Esteria can withstand heat, and she does have fireproof scales, but if she's standing in fire, holding in a plasma blast, cloaking, or any other thing that might cause her body temperature to rise dramatically, she would be weaker. Extreme heat for long periods of time would have the same effect on her that Direct Sunlight has, draining her energy and decreasing her shot limit. If she's exposed for too long she may pass out.
Death and Loss
Esteria has been exposed to death and loss her whole life, but after losing her father, a piece of her essentially broke. If she witnesses a death, even if she didn't even know the creature whose life was lost, grief can overtake her in an extreme way that she cannot control. It's similar to an irrational fear, she cannot control how she reacts, it's like the fear just takes over her body.
Trust and Betrayal
Esteria has major trust issues after being betrayed by Eddy, and she's never trusted humans ever since the story of her mother's death. She has a hard time working with unfamiliar dragons and humans because she doesn't believe she can trust anyone. She fears being betrayed by anyone she becomes too close with.
Insecurity
Esteria is overall an extremely insecure dragon. She believes she'll never live up to how amazing all of her friends are and how her parents were, and especially once she becomes Queen, she doesn't believe herself capable of doing anything. Though she is good at making descisions, she always doubts her choices. If anyone were to tell her that she is not good enough, she would believe them easily.
Eels
As most dragons, Esteria has a fear of eels as they cause her to be extremely sick.
Daytime Stealth
Esteria, being jet-black and purple, is not super well-hidden or stealthy in the daytime. She can hide well in the shadows, but if she's flying in the sunlight, she's already slower, and additionally visible to any enemies.
Unwanted Aggression and Domincance
Esteria is very loyal and protective of those she calls friends, and would do anything to keep them safe. Often times when someone she doesn't recognize might be even talking to one of her friends, her titan side can "take over" and she enters what Nightfall calls, "battle mode," where she has unnecessary aggression towards another dragon. This makes her easily manipulated by enemies, for if they discover this flaw they can aggravate her into attacking others.
Physical Strength
Esteria is not super strong when it comes to lifting heavy things, and can be considered physically weak. She does not spend much time on the ground, meaning her wings are very powerful, though if she is grounded for any reason she would not do too well.
Stamina
Esteria cannot run long distances on land, becoming exhausted easily with little practice in that field of strength. She can run somewhat fast for short spurts of time, but that will follow with extreme exhaustion and the inability to fight.
Boom! 7 abilities and 11 weaknesses! I am proud to say, I think Este is not a Mary Sue! Of course, your opinions may differ, and that's all good, I only ask that you let me know so I can fix her!
Dragon Relationships *spoilers
King Asazin and Queen Twila
The King and Queen were Esteria's parents, until each of their unfortunate deaths. She still looks up to both of their examples and constantly thinks of them.
Nightfall
Nightfall is Esteria's best friend since hatchling-hood, who she once protected from an ambush by a group of Snow Wraiths, which is how she gained her Titanwing form. The two grew up together, being close friends. Little did she know that this whole time, Nightfall secretly had feeling for her. When he eventually confessed, she found that she returned the feelings. The two became a couple and they adore each other.
Birdie
Birdie is Nightfall's younger sister, and Esteria's treated her as a younger sibling ever since Birdie was born. Esteria would protect Birdie with her life, and she adores the little dragon, though she does get on Esteria's nerves from time to time.
Serenity is a Light Fury that Esteria meets in A Fading Star will Rise Again and A New Hope. Though Serenity does not like Esteria in the slightest way at first, Esteria was shown to be a great leader and quite compassionate, and the two grew to like each other. Esteria asked Serenity to be her "back-up Alpha" when she leaves for scouting, acknowledging that she might not return and such. When she did return, though, Esteria was ever so grateful to see her friend and the two remained close and matured together.
This little Light Howl is Birdie's best friend, and Esteria comes to love her as another little sister.
Eddy
Eddy is a Tide Glider that convinced Esteria to be in a relationship with him, though his intentions were not for love. He and Esteria became a couple for a short time, must to Nightfall's chagrin. Though when he and Esteria went on a "date," he ended up being killed by Nightfall when he attempted to murder Esteria. He was also discovered to be cheating on Esteria with Serenity.
Kaiyō is a Deep Flame who acts as a general/advisor for King Asazin, and after his passing he works for Esteria. He is a close friend of Nightfall and eventually becomes the king after Esteria forfeits the throne to him.
Lemonlime, who goes by Sprite, is a male Glidewing who is quite the tease and drives Esteria insane. He is also the older brother of Berryskye, who is best friends with Starbright. Esteria adores the young girls, but never really likes Sprite, considering him too obnoxious.
Human Relationships *spoilers
Lyra Stellar
Lyra Stellar was the first human Esteria had ever met, and she actually tried to kill her at first. Though as time goes on, the two realize that they must work together in order to make the plan work. It's not fun for either, but as time progresses they do bond and become close friends.
Oliver
Oliver is a close friend of Lyra's, as well as Lyra's 'love interest' and Nightfall's rider. This means that Esteria does come to know the boy quite well, and after she and Lyra become friends she does everything in her power to bring the two together.
Katie Stellar
Katie Stellar is Lyra's younger sister and Daybreak's rider. Katie about annoys Esteria to death, but Esteria would protect her even if it meant losing her own life.
Arilia
Ari is Birdie's rider and a neighbor of Lyra's, Esteria doesn't trust Ari at first, wanting to protect Birdie from any danger, but grows to like her.
