The Devious Dragon, played by AaronKeen:
‘ {{ _____ x - - - - The Basics «---]
[ x ] Name.... Reshkari’i Verytahz Raejudo Ferarae Kahntrix [ x ] Nicknames.... Phyr, Stormdancer, Guardian, Kari [ x ] Age.... 7,391 human years, is between 23-25 developmentally [ x ] Gender.... Female [ x ] Race.... Dragon [ x ] Height and Weight.... Phyr’s Full Dragon form is 137 meters long from nose to tail and weighs 47 tonnes, her Semi-Draconic form is 287.78 centimeters tall and weighs 169.1 kilograms, herSemi-Human form is 234.7 centimeters tall and weighs 126.69 kilograms, and her Full Human form is 190.5 centimeters tall and weighs 79.29 kilograms. [ x ] Piercings.... Phyr has an extremely quick healing factor, so unless she constantly wears jewelry, the holes heal over within seconds. Since she doesn’t really feel pain the way a mortal (human) does, she will pierce odd portions of her anatomy when really bored. Usually she just has her earlobes pierced. [ x ] Tattoos.... Phyr doesn’t have any tattoos, per say… Dependent on some situations, her skin/scales change colours to indicate mood or status. She can do this intentionally, changing the pigment of her skin or scales in order to jot down notes, designs, or just for fun. Most of the time, her skin is ‘bare’, at least of inky patterns.
‘ {{ _____ x - - - - Get to Know me «---]
[ x ] Personality.... Phyr, unlike most dragons, does not hold other races in contempt. She is very intelligent, usually quite patient, and extremely curious. She enjoys learning, especially about the wide variety of creatures that share the world with dragons. She is extremely creative, and very fair. She dislikes seeing innocents suffer, and will go out of her way to aid them. Once Phyr gives her loyalty, it takes a lot to lose it (almost as much effort as it does to gain her allegiance), and she will give her life for you. Her word is a binding oath, but she is very aware of the boundaries of words, and can easily deceive without ever uttering a lie. That being said, she dislikes it when people lie to her, especially since she always knows when they lie. As far as anger goes, cool is normally a good descriptor for Phyr. It takes quite a bit to get her truly enraged, but her anger is a slow, roiling mass of razor-sharp ice, giving her the ability to wait for her revenge and completely destroy whatever or whoever has enraged her. Amongst the Dragonkin’s narrow interpretation of status and the world, she was considered an Artisan, completely incapable of violence… which is far from true. Phyr is capable of far more than mere violence, but she holds herself in check every moment of every day.
[ x ] Likes..... ♥ Reading ♥ Cooking ♥ Exploring New Places ♥ Flying, Especially During Storms ♥ Fixing Things ♥ Helping People ♥ Creating Things
[ x ] Dislikes.... ✖ Being Trapped/Confined ✖ Being Attacked for No Good Reason! ✖ Biases ✖ Eating Sentient Creatures, Especially Humans (they tend to taste terrible) ✖ Being Thought of and Treated as a Mindless Beast ✖ Her Family ✖ People Taking Things from Her. If They Asked Nicely, She’d Probably Just Give it to Them!
[ x ] History.... Phyr was born to one of the most powerful and high-ranked clans of the Dragonkin. As such, every moment she spent ‘where she belonged’ was spent being watched, guarded, and forced to conform to what was expected of an unmated female of her rank. But she endured it, afraid to leave the only world she had ever known. The only thing that made life bearable was her dogged pursuit of knowledge, as she learned anything and everything she could. This was the half-life she would have put up with until she died, and she accepted that. What she wouldn’t accept was a forced mating to a male that she despised utterly, especially since dragons mate for life… and sometimes beyond. That was something that Phyr wouldn’t risk, the one thing that broke the carefully-wrought restraints she had borne since childhood. The prospect of being bound heart, mind, and soul to someone she hated did what the other customs of Dragonkin couldn’t. She left, taking precisely what was her due with her and no more. Ever since then, she has wandered the globe, exploring whatever place took her fancy and doing whatever she wanted to.

I believe that Bianca will have just reached the entrance to the cave system, and it's currently Fall. I'll put up the profile.
Σ ♣ Φ ♦ Θ ♠ ♪ Ω “Knowledge is power. Power to do evil...or power to do good. Power itself is not evil. So knowledge itself is not evil.” ― Veronica Roth Ω ♪ ♠ Θ ♦ Φ ♣ Σ
☥ Phyr was deeply immersed in her personal library, the space around her so covered in books, scrolls, tablets, and other records that it would be hazardous to move through. Nothing that she read told her what she needed to know. After finishing yet another ancient and unhelpful tome, she threw the book carelessly over her shoulder with a growl. Her voice, which was normally very soothing and musical, right now seemed to embody barely-constrained violence, and it reft the air as she spoke to the empty space around her.
“Nothing! Not one stars-cursed clue as to how I can win my freedom! At this rate, I’ll be bound to that b*****d until he dies or gets me killed! And if he keeps forcing me to go on with his harebrained scheme, I’ll be putting the people under my aegis in danger… There has to be something that can help. There has to be.”
Almost as soon as Phyr managed to verbalize the few clear thoughts in her whirling mind, a wave of magic flowed through the room and pulled a book from the depths of her labyrinthine library to settle on her desk. She stared openmouthed for a moment before hesitantly reaching forward to open the slightly glowing tome—and was interrupted by a harsh wail that pierced the confines of the Lair. Someone had breached the outermost ward on the path that led to the Lair, and this shrieking alarm was her signal to go confront whatever armored fool had arrived this time while her people went to safe places. It was far better to go to meet the threat than to risk a questor actually getting anywhere near the Lair, however unlikely that chance might be.
Within seconds Phyr had resumed her true form and was on her way. A trip that would take most creatures at least a day, and she was at her destination within a few minutes. Hidden from view by her magic, she landed in a place that the knight wouldn’t be able to see her, and began to set the stage. She took the form of a wrinkled old crone, summoned a simulacrum of a battered, bruised, and beautiful young woman, and chained it to the stone column in the center of the wide-open main cave. With everything ready, she gave a sharp nod and hobbled out of the cave into the cool fall air, still invisible.
Phyr didn’t drop the concealment spells until she was a few steps away from the knight. The crone that had appeared from thin air spoke, her voice creaky from disuse. “A warnin’ fer ye, child. There be great danger on tha path before ye. Yer success, and yer survival, will depend less on yer trainin’, and more on yer choices… So choose wisely.”
Once the warning was delivered, the crone ‘vanished’ again. In reality, Phyr had resumed her cloaking spells and true form, and was waiting hidden in the cavern. Every other questor who had made it this far received the same caution, and every single one had ended up making choices that got them killed or their memories wiped. While she hoped that this knight would be different, for amusement’s sake if nothing else, she doubted that it would. ☸

Bianca ▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂ 24 Knight
As quickly as the woman appeared she was gone, and the young knight was left standing on the path before her. With the woman's appearance she had drawn her sword, it had a coat of dried blood on it from a battle that was recent on her journey to the cave. Looking down at her blade and then at the mouth of the cave Bianca thought on what the woman said. What her mission was and all those who had attempted this trial before her. Many doubted her. Not only because of her age but her determination to prove herself and to let all the world know that a woman could be just as strong a knight as a man. She placed her sword back in it's sheath and took a deep breath. She said a quick prayer and walked into the cave.
What lied before her no one really knew, but she could see the bones littered on the ground. Some broken others crushed, and it all sent a chill down he spine. What would be life if you didn't fear at least one thing. It was no death she feared though. It was failure should she not be able to complete her task. Bianca looked about and saw a torch out of her pocket she pulled out a piece of flint and grabbed a rock from the floor. She quickly made a few sparks and a moment later the torch was a flame brightening the path before her.
Σ ♣ Φ ♦ Θ ♠ ♪ Ω “Knowledge is power. Power to do evil...or power to do good. Power itself is not evil. So knowledge itself is not evil.” ― Veronica Roth Ω ♪ ♠ Θ ♦ Φ ♣ Σ
☥ Phyr curled around the base of a stone pillar in her full-draconic form, blending in almost perfectly with the rocks of the cave as she watched the knight follow the path deeper into the entrance cavern. Eventually the knight reached a point far enough into the cave that the light from the opening had disappeared, leaving Bianca relying on her torch. After a short time in flickering light only, a ‘natural’ hole in the roof opened up, the shaft of light illuminating the chained homunculus, which was shivering from cold and fear as it tried desperately to free itself. Phyr let the knight have enough time to get close enough to the ‘virgin sacrifice’ to see the sturdy and well-enchanted bonds, and then she slid between the knight and the captive, twining around the stalagmite, resting a taloned hand right above the sacrifice’s head, and speaking.
Her voice in this form sounded like a strong wind, musical, sibilant, and thunderous as it rushed throughout the cavern. “So, here’s another knight to play with, all wrapped up in his pretty suit of armor, full of arrogance and nothing else. A child like you, so young and unproved, well, either your court is desperate… or you’ve run away to attempt to demonstrate your worth. What makes you think you can defeat me? What gives you the right to try?”
As Phyr spoke, she wove a subtle spell. Most good knights had charms against fear, but none were protected against magic that invoked self-righteousness and a wounded pride. Hubris was the doom of all of those who had come against her, the ‘knowledge’ that, no matter what, they were in the right. ☸
