Gwina is my first OC from my RPG "Eyes of the Crystal Dragon". She is a friendly and peaceful plant dragon whose breath can make plants grow. In her youth, she tried to make friends, but she was a bit of a misfit. Everyone thought her powers were ridiculous. So, when she became an adult, she moved away to the north of Elid where no one knew her and was able to make friends. But one day, she met Nova, a mysterious midnight dragon. Gwina had gone for a walk in the forest and, not looking where she was going, bumped into a tree. Nova heard her yelp of pain and rushed to see if she was all right. They introduced themselves and Gwina invited Nova over to her house, where they met Echo, an ice dragon. Things turned awry the next morning when Gwina was captured by water dragons. Nova and Echo tried to rescue her but were captured as well. They were taken to the island of Nevli, where Queen Aqua revealed a prophecy to them. Nova and seven other dragons were to find an object called the Crystal Dragon, which would restore peace to the war-ravaged Dralia. Gwina was dumbfounded that her new friend was part of something so big. Disaster struck again. An army of Buwenites attacked the Nevlian palace. Gwina and Nova were able to flee, but Echo was killed in the battle. The two friends mourned. But they had work to do. So they made their way to the desert territory of Liore, where they were once again captured, courtesy of Cactus, a sand dragon but a mere oasis guard. It turned out that Cactus was actually one of the prophecy dragons. With this knowledge, Nova and Gwina tried to convince Cactus to help them escape. He did, but Gwina was separated from them in the process as she was captured again by the sand dragons. Nova and Cactus had to continue on without her. Gwina was tortured in order to find out where her friends were going and what they were doing. Sadly, she gave in and was blinded in the process. It was a long time before her friends returned for her. They tried to take her from Liore but she was too weak, and they had to leave her stranded in the desert near Elid. It was then that Angus found her. Angus was a plant dragon who was blind in one eye, so he knew part of the pain Gwina was going through. He nourished her back to health, but soon Kehrans attacked his village in Elid and they had to flee back to Nevli. There, Gwina and Angus found out that the Buwenites had taken over Nevli - a little too late. They were captured (again) and spent some time in prison before they were able to escape and help Queen Aqua take back her kingdom. That was when Gwina discovered her powers were stronger than she thought. During a battle, in fear, in rage, she caused huge vines to grow through the throne room windows of the palace and ensnare the enemy Buwenites. Now Gwina must rediscover her powers, as well as find out what happened to her friends, as the RPG continues...
I'm surprised if you read the whole backstory. It took a while to write and probably a while to read O.o The characters of Gwina, Cactus, and Queen Aqua credit to me. Artwork credit to me. I used @Novakitty's fantastic tutorial to help ( https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/138958232/ ), but I figured out the folded wings, horns, and talons on my own. I was too lazy to shade...
