Spoiler:

Name: Rowan
Species: Dragon
Personality: On the surface Rowan seems happy and excitable, always willing to join in and try new things or just hang out in general. She can seem a tad self centred at times, boasting about how powerful her magic is, but all in all she gets along with just about everyone. However, when around others of her kind, her true self begins to show, as her act crumbles away. She shrinks back into herself and become shy and nervous, worrying every moment about what everyone will think of her, and getting so stressed that she makes more mistakes and gets even more stressed out in an endless circle.
Background: Ever since she first hatched, Rowan has had trouble flying. The rest of her kind can instinctually read the winds and navigate the updraughts from moments after they first broke free of their shell, but even fully grown, Rowan is barely able to stay in control for more than a few seconds before plummeting to the ground. As a result, she always felt inferior to the other dragons and tended to spend all her time either holed up reading ancient spellbooks or exploring the nearby wilderness alone.
In one such trip, she came across a group of stringy looking two legged creatures who called themselves "Humans." She found that she fit in much more amongst these land-bound creatures, and eventually after cajoling her parents, moved to a human city to become an apprentice magician. She became a celebrity almost overnight, being the only dragon in the kingdom to live with humans, and a pretty good magician to boot. But even with her newfound popularity, Rowan couldn't help thinking that if there were any other dragons here then she'd be forgotten instantly, that her friend didn't really like her, just the idea of being friends with a dragon...
Special Abilities: Apart from the lack of flying instincts, Rowan's firebreath is lacklustre, less like fire and more like light warmth, unable to even light a campfire 9 times out of ten. She is quite skilled at brewing up potions though, from many days spent studying various recipes.
Likes: Magic, being popular, gardening, studying, spicy foods, strange animals.
Dislikes: Heights, anything that can fly, being disliked or hated, knights and other "Dragonslayers," cold days.
One interesting fact about them: She once mistook a bag of runes for candy, and for the next week swore that her dreams were visions of the future. Even the one about the cat uprising in their flying machines made of rice.
Notes: Rowan is a merely a translation of her real name, as her true name is unpronounceable to human vocal cords.
