(I actually collect dragon things, haha so I figured what better a muse than this one)[/hider]
Standing close to 10 feet tall, Lumia’s dragon form, her truest form, is slender and long- reaching 30 feet from her nose to her tail. Her wingspan is about 42 feet. She has iridescent scales of shades of blues and purples. Her head and face are narrow and rather than ears she has two fins extending from the side of her head, just under her two long black horns. Her fins in combination with her body type allow her to better swim and her species as whole is known for being almost amphibious, though they could never live their whole lives in the water. Her wings also have a horn each, both a measure of self defense and a physical marker of her species.  Her legs are muscular but still slender and she has 3 toes on each of her front feet, 4 on her back.

Lumia’s glimmer casts the form of a young adult human woman, who is about 20 years old. She has thick, curly hair that is kept in braids. Her skin is a dark bronze, her eyes a deep brown and her plump lips sit nicely beneath her rounded nose. She is a little tall by human standards, standing at 5’8” and weighs about 160 pounds, and has a more athletic build, strong arms and thighs. 

[b]Personality Traits:[/b] Independent, quiet and reserved. To friends she is playful, loving, generous and protective. Not quite the “mom” friend per say, more like an older sister- always there for you, and always on your side because no one’s allowed to mess with you except her. Her negative traits can be found in her stubbornness, and at times she can come across as a little gruff. 

[b]Magic/Abilities:[/b] Dragons of her species all have the ability to breathe underwater for much longer than average, able to remain below for up to several hours at a time, many of them with the ability to manipulate the waters. Lumia’s gifts are of the water but also of the air, as she has the ability to form and manipulate clouds alongside her water abilities. Instead of breathing fire, she is more like a water cannon, and steam rather than smoke leaves her nostrils. In her human form, she is a healer and purifier, able to remove sickness from natural things.

[b]History:[/b] Lumia was born and raised in the small Southern island nation of Osmines in a small mixed village called Taubu. No humans lived in Taubu, yet but their own towns and villages crept ever closer every year, causing some of the residents of Taubu to consider seeking a new home elsewhere while others felt motivated more than ever to stand their ground and protect their home. While not happy about the growing human presence, they maintained a relatively peaceful relationship with the nearby villages- Taubu’s leadership having decided that was the best way to not attract attention. 

As for Lumia herself, her childhood was spent wandering the many beaches and caves near her coastal town. She’s too young to remember the days before the humans found their little island but surprisingly still has not encountered too many humans in person yet but has made friends and acquaintances of many of the other beings who live in her village and nearby. This is mostly in part due to her parent’s protective nature over her, as she is their only child and a female at that, which made her a bit rare in a world where their birth rates were declining. As she got older she spent more time in the water, watching as elders of her kind worked the water & sometimes used a little magic to deter humans from finding the island, knocking them off course so as to slow their spread. Occasionally, though not always the intention, a ship would wreck and she and her best friend would explore them and be fascinated by treasures from the distant mainlands she had only ever heard about. She loved all the little trinkets and things, finding ways to repurpose them- one of her favorites being jewelry and charm making. 

When not on the beaches, she was roaming the forests and climbing trees. Her father made her learn to fight when she was just barely a teenager so that if she ever ran into trouble, she could handle herself. The rule was always to stay away from the human settlements but one could never be too sure who they might encounter outside the safety of the village. Her mother also passed around this age, which caused her father to try and be too overprotective and ended up smothering her a bit which is why now in her young adulthood she seeks to leave and find their people on the mainland. She knew they could not keep waiting for their people to go to them, but that they must still come together if there was any chance for their kind to survive in this world. She was sad to leave her village, and her heart remains heavy still about it as she knows she might not be welcome back. Without her, there were only 2 other females left in the village who were not elders and those who remained saw her as leaving as betrayal, her father taking it the hardest.[/hider]
