they looked like they where having such fun, the other children flopped laughed and slid about on the fresh sheet of ice that slicked the surface of lake ha'looa. and sitting out on the side sat Tiely his dull orange eyes looked out at the others and he fluffed the crest of yellow feathers on his head he could hear his friends laugh at him he had always been one step behind everyone else and this was no different, he grew slower then the rest of the children and his rump feathers where still quite small and half seethed as well as the bottom of his crest feathers he moped on the side of the lake because he was cold and barely has his bearings on land, much less ice. but as he moped he came to the conclusion that if he fell on the ice at least they would laugh because he fell and not because he was to afraid to try. so up he got on his four feet and took a bold step onto the ice and very promptly fell on his face. the laughter grew louder and he heard a few of them fall on the ice aswell. "ouuuh" he groaned as he shakkily tried to grip the ice and stand up unfortunately he slipped again and slid away from the bank out onto the ice where he could not reach solid ground. 'drat...' he thought as now even adults where snickering at his comical predicament. it was time to get creative and show them he was no fool. he tried again to get up, and again he failed.at this third attempt he decided that the whole point was to have fun, not look good. so laying there sprawled out on the ice with his feet getting cold he tucked his front leggs under his chest and started to push himself along with his back legs like a small plow, this looked ridiculus but it gave him a start he slid along and managed to push up his front legs and slide on all fours. a few cheers from the watching adults made him smile until he began to realize he didn't know how to stop... suddenly the bank of the lake looked really close and at full speed he fliped off the ice as he hit the bank and ploted right back into the snow. and then he decided he was done with the cold slippery lake for the day and wobbled back to his den with a good sized knot on his head. he wouldn't prove anything anamazing today. but he'd surely be back tomorrow with aplan.

::RP Prompt Answer::

In a quiet corner of the wood, a paw’s breath away from the frozen edge of Lake Ha’looa, a clump of snow picked itself up and slunk slowly toward the ice. As the snow thinned toward the water’s edge, the migrating snow bank slowly revealed itself in the form of small, sharp claws, and puffs of white steam rising from a long snout. In each place that snow fell from its body, a patch of dark black skin was revealed, like the night sky slowly clearing of clouds. The sharp sound of teeth snapping caused the nearby birdlife to fall abruptly silent. Nightbreeze, as the child Adaphy was appropriately named, let a cold smile curve his young face at the result of his antics. Blue eyes swept quickly over the side banks.

At least, he thought, those damn Di’Taki whelps had the good grace to stay well enough away. Miscreants.

Unaware that his own mother was the true voice behind these thoughts, the young Adaphy eyed the ice with a cold, calculating stare. His gaze drifted slowly upward, seeing the form of other young Adaphy playing in the distance. Their voices could just be heard, traveling with ease over the uninterrupted landscape of the lake. The smile slowly slid off his face.

Another puff of white steam rose as he snorted. As if, he thought ungraciously, his ire at being excluded - even of his own free will - reducing the articulate voice of his mother into that of his true self: a mere child.

Gazing down at the ice once more, Nightbreeze considered his situation. He had heard of the yearly freezing of Lake Ha’looa from his mother. Mostly she had just complained of the inconvenience, how it impeded her from reaching the slender, juice fish that resided just below the ice’s surface. As much as he honored his mother, Nightbreeze felt some little resentment at his education being so neglected on the matter. That other Adaphy children might know more than he did smarted bitterly.

Driven by this thought, and the lingering voices of the other Adaphy children in the distance pushing him forward like a taunt, Nightbreeze stepped out onto the ice. Predictably, it was cold to the touch, and he flexed his claws until each one touched the surface with a light tapping sound. He continued walking a little farther out until the entirety of his body was isolated by the frozen water, even his sweeping tail failing to touch the safety of the banks. Having made it this far, he strengthened his resolve and running a few steps. Farther out on the ice, he discovered, the light layer of snow dusting the top of the ice gave way to slicker patches. The wet ice caused him to end his short jog on a wobbly note, sliding to a stop.

Taking a shaky breath, Nightbreeze peered down at the black ice. The wet area shone clearly in the moonlight, like a window into another world, yet revealed nothing in the dark depths. He had a hard time believing anything alive resided there. If he had not seen the fish swimming there himself just that spring, he might have been tempted to doubt the words of his mother. Taking another tentative step forward and failing to fall, the young Adaphy felt the beginnings of pride swell his chest.

This is not so difficult, he mused with an inward smile of superiority, all I need do is- SMACK! facefirst into the ice did he fall. The air left his lungs in a rush, more due to his own cocky steps than the short distance he had to fall. Sucking in a cold breath of air, he immediately released it again in a groan. Slowly, pulling his wayward feet under him again, Nightbreeze half slid, half stumbled to his feet. A few more steps later and SMACK! again, right into the ice, his wobbly legs less able to find purchase on the slick surface.

With a shaky breath, the young Adaphy once again managed to get to his feet. With small, painfully careful steps, he moved toward shore. His tail, he found, proved to be a useful balance, once he got into the swing of it. However, he had had quite enough of this particular adventure. Throwing a baleful glare over his shoulder at the lake, Nightbreeze sauntered back onto shore. In the distance, the sound of other child Adaphy once more caught his attention.

Well, he thought to himself, his young mind working slowly to grasp for an excuse, perhaps I will join them... For a little while. Such dull stuff, this ice. Watching those fools will at least be of some entertainment.

Satisfied with his own logic, Nightbreeze trotted along the snowy bank where his footing was sure, not trusting his pride to the slipper ice in the presence of others.

::Character development::
Child's Name: Nightbreeze
What they look like: Bright blue eyes, pure black (though, for the sake of not muddling the lineart with super dark coloring, dark grey will do) that is laced with colourful markings that seem to shine through from underneath. (literally, if you lay a colorful gradient down and put a black layer on top and cut away at the black layer.. like this ugly example xD..any design will do)
Personality: a cruel, insensitive, slightly twisted youth, raised by a hateful Adaphy to be a hateful Adaphy. The older children initially avoided him because of his mother, but spurned on by their perceptive dislike and his mothers own spiteful words, he became thing to avoid all on his own. Other than his own mother, he loathes all other Adaphy equally, whether they be older or younger, stronger or weaker. Only to the Di’Taki does he allow particular dislike.
