"the Lord of the burning fire"
Age: 247 years
Gender: Female
Role: New Dragon
Class: Seer Class
Appearance:
Nuria’s impressive stature brings her to stand at a solid 19 ft tall at the shoulder, not quite 250 years she still has room to grow. Her build is muscular, when she moves you can see the power in her stride and in Nuria’s powerful flight capabilities. This dragon had a set of double wings, the first set sized large and powerful, the top of it is colored black and the underside is a wine red. Her wings are made of a membrane-like material, thicker at the base and thinner towards their tips, of which have a small, hook-like spike on the end of each of the bones in her wing. Her second set of wings is only slightly smaller and is colored the exact same as her larger wings and the same in anatomy. This pair is underneath her other set of wings, this allows her to choose to fly with one set or both, as she can tuck the smaller pair into her sides, hiding them underneath her other wings. The size difference is not very noticeable despite the lower pair being slightly smaller. A look at her is almost not enough to determine the pattern across her scales, which consists of a black so dark it’s void of any color, making her scale pattern blend into each other seamlessly. On her underbelly, her scales look like large plates of armor, but throughout the rest of her, her scales are smaller sizes. They have no sheen to them, making her hard to see in the dark, as no light reflects off of them, often just absorbing the light into her sides, Nuria is deadly at night, with her size one might question that, but this dragon is light on her feet and black as the night, giving her the element of surprise. Her scales are rounded on the ends and lock into a weaving pattern to form her exterior shield.
She is not entirely colored black, but her underside is rather, a wine-red color. It colors the soft scales of her belly and up through her neck to the base of her head. The undersides of her claws are colored a much darker red, closer to black, but nonetheless red. Her claws themselves are four-pronged and sharp, each equipped with a sharp white claw. She has four powerful legs, the insides of them again colored a wine red but the outer side is completely black. Going into her tail, a similar coloring pattern is seen, with the underside dark red and the top being black. From the base of her neck to the tip of her tail there are spikes of various sizes going down her back, colored black enough to blend in with her scales, if you're standing in the right position you won’t be able to even see them, as they will blend seamlessly into her back. These spikes are slightly larger in the middle of her back, and sort of taper out into smaller ones at the end of her tail and the base of her head, giving it the look of a sort of fin, but of course, made out of spikes.
Nuria’s head is long and slender, an almost delicate thing. Her mouth is filled with razor-sharp teeth, smaller ones in the back moving to much larger ones in the front, when her mouth is closed a few larger ones can be seen hanging outside of her mouth. She has multiple rows of teeth, losing one simply does not matter as there are so many more, and it can easily be regrown. Now under her jaw is a soft spot with smaller scales colored red, that connect to the same red of her underbelly. The rest of her head is black, save for her eyes and a spot underneath them. As a Seer dragon, Nuria is losing her sight, as this process occurs the blood vessels rupture in her eyes, causing them to turn red until she cannot see, meaning the world will continue to be tinged red as her loss of sight progresses. When she was born her eyes were initially a pretty brown, flecked with amber, but as this process has occurred her Iris has shifted to a red hue, its edges completely tinged with a blood-red color that is slowly working its way to cover her pupil. Meaning in the next three years her eyes will continue to progress this way, until she cannot see, then she will have completely red eyes. No pretty shades of brown, just solid red encasing her eye. It’s pretty near to this now, but she can still see things up close as well as blurred shapes in the distance, Bright lights also affect her as well, as she becomes more sensitive to living in a dark world, bright lights startle her. She also has a red marking to match the color of her eyes right beneath her orbs. It’s a red line of sorts, almost giving it the loop of eyeliner, it’s a short little “swoop” marking directly beneath her water line, pointing towards her tail. This is under both eyes.
Besides her distracting bright red eyes, contrasting her darker scales, you are drawn into the arrangement of horns upon her head. She has a sort of crown that they create, with the sheer multitude of them being great. Large and distracting she has a line of small ones jutting out to look more like nubs along the sides of her face, and moving up her head she has a large pair of curled horns, similar to that of a ram on either side of her head, Nuria had another set, a pair of horns much straighter and large jutting straight back on her head. In addition to this, she has a few smaller ones filling in the gaps, creating a crown-like assortment.
A look in her direction brings you to her blood-red eyes, but also to the other markings beneath them. Nuria has a large gash right beneath her right eye, which she earned from a battle some years ago which nearly took the sight from her. This would have been unfortunate considering she would still have to lose it a few years later. Luckily it’s just healed into a scar but still is a visible horizontal mark under her eye. In addition to this, she has a large claw mark, gouging four deep lines into her left hind quarters from a previous battle. Her scales were able to heal around it, but the faint lines are still visible. Nuria has various other small scars that pepper her through the years and from her adventures with Xev. This dragon also has a particular scent, being near her smells something like strong pine or evergreen, as she tends to prefer to spend her time in forests, also inheriting the scent of them from her extensive time there. She has a crisp scent to her, always fresh and like the outdoors. Her gait is something smooth, a steady pace fast enough to keep up and please the fast walkers, but slow enough to allow those slow walkers to keep up. While she prefers to spend more time in the sky, this does not disable her walking abilities.

Nuria is a dragon with various traits, a few happen to be more apparent than others, such as her confidence, aggression, and her intelligence. This female is calculating and intelligent, she always has a plan and is quick to come up with one if there is a moment that needs one. Her moves are deliberate and well thought out, Nuria isn't the type to rush into a situation and make a fool of herself. She is observant, allowing her to get a better read on those around her, taking in various amounts of information regarding her opponent or the situation. This allows her an advantage in the present situation, and Nuria's years of experience only add to that. She is a respectable creature. She is a very efficient, and accomplished dragon, as shown by her recently developed and perfected abilities. This female also has a good deal of leadership skills, while she is not the Squad Leader's dragon, Nuria is among the slightly older dragons, and taking some form of seniority at times she is good at helping communicate and make confident, split decisions if need be. She was not totally set on the idea of having a rider, yet as she gets to bonding with them her mindset may change. Nuria won't make the first ride easy but she does know what is at stake and is willing to put her personal needs aside until her riders' needs are met. Her loyalty is a strong trait that is easily shown by this female. Her bond with her rider has strengthened through these trying times and his devotion to the other riders and dragons has strengthened in turn.
Despite her unwavering loyalty to others, she is by no means a social creature. Nuria will pick and choose who gets to stay in her inner circle of friends, and who goes. Trust is separate from loyalty, and it is a hard thing to earn, and an easy thing to lose, just because she stays loyal to those in the group does not mean she trusts everybody, and she won't get too attached to many for that reason. She is a territorial creature, and one with a more aggressive side, her independence is strong and she is used to relying on herself, so working in a team setting with another human is new news to her. She values personal space and will quickly grow aggressive if you try to interfere with it. Nuria can come across as rather grumpy at times, her patience can run thin if the group isn't making progress, or some insufferable know-it-all won't keep their mouth shut. She dislikes those who don't show humility and finds them rather arrogant. This female will not hesitate to protect her loved ones and friends. Touch a scale on their back or let a snide comment out and she won't hesitate to put you in your place. She is constantly thinking ahead and is quick to adapt to new situations. One could say she overanalyzes situations, preparing for the worst and best outcomes, which can come as an advantage at times. It tends to be a disadvantage in her social game when she starts to overthink her relationships or people's actions. Unless your actions are direct, she might assume you have a different meaning.
Nuria is clearly strategic, though she won't always have the luxury of time to prepare. She is good under pressure, a fast thinker, and an even faster learner. She can pick up and adapt to new skills quickly. At times she can be very convincing, seemingly having almost a silver tongue. This dragon is easily entertained. Nuria doesn't need much to keep her occupied, this female is content with taking a nap or watching the wind blow the leaves on the trees around. She isn't one to constantly have the need to go, go, go, but rather enjoys taking moments throughout the day to appreciate life and the nature around her. Nuria does, in fact, hate to stay in one place for long. She has had experiences with dragon hunters in the past, as well as quite the run down with various dragons, so being on the move makes her feel more secure, knowing she can't be tracked to a single location or isn't tied down somewhere. She does like to travel and has had many interesting experiences and stories from over the years. She enjoys admiring fun little trinkets, but she doesn't collect them. Nuria particularly likes anything shiny or anything that resembles her more unique appearance.
Rider: Open
Abilities:
The Sight - Strength, visions of the future, Weakness, going blind: Seer dragons have the ability to have visions, and visions of the future more specifically. They can look into the future and see exactly what is to happen and when. Of course, the future is a tricky thing, predicting moves in battle is one thing, but predicting the future outcome of that battle is another. The more complicated the future and the more it is affected by a larger amount of decisions, the more likely it is to change and make the vision faulty. For example, she could see that if one person takes a specific path(the good path) over another, they could meet a positive outcome, though if something else causes them to take the other path(the bad path) that vision is no longer true. She can't predict random forces that might interrupt the process of her prediction, so some can be wrong. The older a dragon gets the easier visions come. However, dragons of this species often begin to go blind as these visions increase and become more intense, in mid-adulthood, they go fully blind. Once this occurs visions happen more fluidly and so frequently it's as if they can still see, because they can use it to determine their surroundings. It becomes less draining because they won't have as much sensory information interfering with it. This also allows their other senses to become heightened, so adjusting to the lack of sight does become easier. Currently, Nuria is nearly blind, though she can still see your rough outline and some bright colors, she will have to use her vision ability to actually see her rider's face when it comes to bonding.
Flying - Double wings: Having a second set of wings increases her flying capabilities, making her an insanely strong flyer. This also increases her flying speed and maneuverability, allowing for a quick and efficient escape if need be.
Manipulation: A very draining process if used excessively, it can lead to death if over-used. The dragon must have recovery time, during which they are vulnerable after use. In short, the dragon can harness control of another's mind for a short period of time, basically possessing them to do their wishes, whether it's a simple task such as turning around or something more dangerous like a human wielding a sword. The larger the creature they use it on, the more draining, humans are the easiest to manipulate due to their size and fragility. If overused she losses all of her senses until this "cool down" period is over.
Glimpse: It allows Nuria to “see” where things are. If she knows the person or thing she is looking for and the general region where it is, she can locate it using the glimpse. The glimpse gives her a visual portal into the location in which the desired object is. Experiencing it blocks out her other senses to focus on mentally reaching out to find the object or person, and allows Nuria to receive a "still-life photo" of the area the object is in within her mind, allowing her to find lost items or locate missing people. As long as she has a 3-mile radius of where the object should be, she can find it. As her powers continue developing and as she grows, this can increase further up to a max of 10 miles. The power really starts to rapidly develop around the age of 500. Using this power is a mentally draining task, and if used extensively, it can temporarily eliminate her senses until she can recover. The only way she could communicate at this point would be through her telepathic bond.
Fire Breath: As simple as it sounds, however, it is not the strongest of all the dragons due to it not being her primary power. It is quite weak, but still impressive to humans.
Strengths & Weaknesses:
-She has longevity and superb healing like all dragons, and is resistant to some human magic, her abilities of speed and strength are also enhanced.
-Double wings, allowing her to become a way stronger fighter
-Agility, and speed. Two of her greatest assets.
-Blindness, Nuria is almost completely blind, though this has heightened her other senses.
-All dragons are weakened and drained by Iron, she cannot fly with injured wings, and she has soft belly scales leaving her underside more vulnerable
-Heat weakens Seer dragons just as it would water dragons, so if not properly hydrated this dragon will go into a state of shock or become really weakened.
-Overuse of particular abilities leads to death or loss of her senses for a period of time
-Bright lights, they stun her as she is not used to such a sight. Going blind has taken its toll and has begun to manipulate her remaining vision.
-Working in a group, she is a more individualized dragon and likes having control of her surroundings. Not holding a position of power she would feel helpless and unsure how to work with a team if she had to.
Likes:
-Night flying, peaceful and serene
-Cool-weather, she can stay better hydrated and therefore keep up her strength
-Time alone, unless it’s with Xev
-Time in forests, offering a place of solitude and not in the open, which is more prone to attacks
-Shiny trinkets, though she would never admit to it
-Mutual respect between her and her rider
Dislikes:
-Being interrupted
-Stubborn people who don’t know when to quit, especially if they’re wrong. As well as people who intentionally cause chaos.
-Bright or flashing lights. Her eyes are sensitive to it.
-Eels, with a passion, never try to give her one
-Hot, humid weather. It contributes to the weakening of her abilities
-Most humans. She is fine with the rider of her choice, and with riders who have a strong bond with their own dragon, but she just barely tolerates everything else.
