don’t have anything proper to post rn, so here’s my new character.
Crescent is a silkwing queen who ruled 500 years before arc 1. She has a very peculiar ability to see prophetic dreams when sleeping under a full moon(s). Unfortunately, she also sleepwalks and may or may not have almost died because of that.

glimmerspiral lore post?!?!?!?!?!
it may or may not get pretty dark, containing incest, murders, mentions of torture, sex (briefly and once), adultery and such
It's them! They are children of Queen Waterfall who ruled the seawing tribe more than 500 years before the events of arc 1.
Undine is the oldest princess and the angriest one, kinda like Tsunami except more categorical and brutal. She never had to worry about any potential rivals for the throne since both her sisters were too scared of her to even think of challenging her (it's not like she was actively bullying them, she just had that menacing, unsettling vibe to her). She is aloof and hates any ceremonies, preferring training. She also enjoys fighting and that's why, when she became queen, she parted her ruling duties with the job of a general, while her husband was in charge of the council meetings, paperwork and such.
She became the queen at the age of 21 and got a magic trident as a coronation gift from her sister Siren. The trident has the ability to control any clear water near it and was held dear by the new queen, both as a powerful weapon and a memory of Siren.
Undine had never understood her feelings well and, due her lone attitude, never had any friends (asides from her siblings (specifically Kelpie)) and, obviously, lovers. So, after all of her siblings (minus Typhon) had abandoned her in various ways, she mistook her desire to ensure that Typhon won't leave her, too, for love and married him (he was more that fine with being a king so he got along with it).
She is later killed in a revolution organized by her adopted daughter/niece Chartreuse.
If Undine had a book it would be named "Rising Tides".
***
Leviathan is the oldest prince and is the same age as Undine. He is an animus and had enchanted a few artifacts for Waterfall (they are long gone by the start of arc 1). He is quiet, thoughtful and rather poetic, though nobody knows about the latter. Due to his magic his mother actively tried to marry him. This eventually made him not attracted to *normal-looking* females in both romantic and sexual way.
However, Leviathan had noticed that, from the very childhood, he had been attracted to dragons with congenital deformities. He pitied those with permanent injuries, but was fascinated with those who were born *different* (at least, whose differences were clean to see).
One day he met a dragon named Lamprey, who was born in a place named Abysmal Town, which is located far deeper than anything in the Kingdom of the Sea. This way of life, obvioulsy, couldn't've gone without consequences, thus heavily altering Lamprey's appearance. Many dragons would consider her hideous, but Leviathan was in awe. They had quickly become lovers and Leviathan enchanted an earring to make everyone except him see Lamprey as a normal beautiful seawing and introduced her to his mother. She reluctantly accepted her since Leviathan refused to marry anyone else and was the only (she doesn't know, she lacks critical information) animus in the family.
But one day, a year before Undine's coronation, he and Lamprey had escaped to the Abysmal Town. Its population was slowly but surely reducing and only a miracle could save them. Lamprey, luckily, had found this miracle in the face of her lover, who would do anything for her, and convinced him to move to the Abyss. Its residents were rather happy to have an animus in their town and allowed him to mate with all their females to raise the possibility of new animi being born. Spoiler: new animi were born.
If he had a book it would be named "Going Down/Deeper".
***
Siren is the middle princess. She is a year younger than Undine and Leviathan and is a secret animus. She has light-headed and dreamy personality and would often fantasize about anything and everything. This part of her personality allowed her to discover her powers before anyone else. She kept them secret since she never liked being bossed around.
Her life was pretty average for a princess (aside from a few assasination attempts, but it's a rutine for a princess who is considered useless by the councilors). She never wanted to rule and wanted to be a singer instead. She even enchanted herself a seashell necklace to make her voice loud and beautiful.
Princess followed Leviathan's steps as she escaped from the kingdom right after Undine's coronation, fearful of what's to come. Lastly, she revealed to Undine that she was an animus all along and gifted her with a trident.
She then found a cave and turned herself into a statue for five hundred years, hoping that, by that time, Undine won't be present.
Five hundred years later she awakens, but keeps a low profile, a few days later, however, being involved into mysterious shenaningans involving an egocentric hybrid brat, a scavenger turned dragon and Leviathan's descendant, who is also an animus. She later has two animus dragonets with the latter.
If she had a book it would be named "Charms of the Sea".
***
Typhon is the youngest prince and is is two years younger than Undine and Leviathan.
I can't say much about him except that he is a snobby intelligent brat who enjoys chemistry and, specifically, creation of various poisons. He even had his own guinea pig to test them on! (but it's not important, he's not important.)
He had the most distant relationship with Undine, but the loss of their other siblings brought them closer.
When Chartreuse started the revolution, he had commited suicide by drinking the poison from the flask he had always wore on his neck specifically for occasions like this.
If he had a book, it wouls de named "Toxic Swirls".
***
Kelpie is the youngest princess, four years younger than Undine and Leviathan.
She has extremely pessimistic personality. She is also quite egocentric and capricious and isn't used to moments when anything has nothing to do with her. She would often point out her status as a princess to get what she wants. Oddly enough, she was the one to have closest relationship with Undine, the latter often protecting her from any dangers.
She also has an attraction to dragons from other tribes which she goes along with.
She had started a relationship with Ascidian, a young, but promising councilor who Waterfall was quite fond of. At first, their relationship were fine, good even. However, with a flow of time Kelpie's personality started to get worse since Ascidian was really obedient with her, thus unknowingly pampering her ego. She would often go and mate with other dragons without hiding nor addressing it. Fights started to happen. One of them had resulted in Ascidian killing Kelpie in a fit of rage and then fleeing. This happened right before Undine's coronation.
If she had a book, it would be named ??? idk. any ideas?
***
While Siren wasn't aware of this and never will be, Undine and Typhon were furious and, without proper investigation, accused Ascidian of murder (really lucky guess, huh). They, after some time, found Ascidian and then tortured him for a few months until he died.
During that, they accidentally found out that Kelpie and Ascidian had an egg (the latter will never know of that). After a short debate they decided to adopt it as a memory of Kelpie.
Later a female dragonet hatched, it was decided to name her Chartreuse. While both parents didn't really like her, Undine seeing Ascidian in her and Typhon not liking kids generally, getting rid of her would really be an unforgivable waste, so they reluctantly raised her. Chartreuse will never find out what happened to her father.
She then meets a rebellion leader named Algae and quickly falls for him. He then persuades her to join his group and eventually lead it in a revolution. She agrees and, during revolution, personally kills Undine, thus officially becoming a new queen.
Any questions?

glimmerspirals lore again?!?!?!?!??!
warning: this one’s gonna be fairly dark, too, mostly containing deaths and such. Usual stuff.
yet again, sorry for any errors, english is not my native language.
hooo boy, it’s the him! the scrunky!
His name is Angler and he is a deepseawing from the Abysmal Town, where prince Leviathan fled 500 years ago with his partner Lamprey. In fact, Angler is their descendant (just like literally everyone else in the town). And, what’s more, he has animus magic, too! Other than that, he is blind from the moment he had hatched, and extremely selfish.
In his earlier years, Angler also was a lazy spoiled brat who’d expect everyone to love him just because he was an animus. He wouldn’t do much for the town, though, preferring using magic to himself to sneak to the surface and into the Kingdom of the Sea. There, he met two other dragonets and even became friends with them, kinda. But they died because of him later, anyway. But at least it was an accident. Their deaths had an impact on Angler, making him not only an even bigger brat, but also a shut-in. He then left the Abysmal Town by unrelated reasons. By that time he was seven.
When Angler got to the surface and, eventually, to Pyrrhia, he decided to make money by selling dragons his magic. Basically, he would do anything magic-related (and non-related) for a significant price. Since he was an actual animus who was fine with doing any kinds of enchantments (minus murders at first), dragons would come and come, showering Angler with treasurses, eventually driving him into a ridiculous extent of greediness. Young animus then would extend his list of services, now doing anything murder-related. He will later be known as an animus who specializes in murder (he’s fine with that, but the sheer repetitiveness is rather boring. he’d love to create something again sometimes).
Eventually, he got into trouble when he tried to kill a seawing noble. He’s still wanted in the Kingdom of the Sea. He could easily use his magic to get rid of this little problem, but he uses his magic only when he’s paid to. Or when his AnImUs PrIdE is offended. Anyway, he’s not concerned with this enough to use his magic.
His life was rather rutine until the Sandwing War started. He, as expected, didn’t ally himself with anyone and instead killed anyone who he was paid to kill, even more than before the war. And, after a story with Tsunami, many other “lost princesses”started to pop up, some of them even having enough money to hire Angler, whose price list was just ridiculous at this point. But an animus is an animus, so…
Anyway, over the few days after the events of tLH he worked with six “princesses” - Cascade the seawing, Nectarine the rainwing, Chill the icewing (she wasn’t chill…), Sunburn the firescale sandwing, Duck the mudwing (not anymore) and Lizard the sandwing. All of them had annoyed the living hell out of him, so he cursed them in different ways, which, in some cases, had resulted in death.
After the war he had a fine time and later got sought out by a hybrid sandwing who introduced herself as Sandreader, the only daughter of princess Blister. Angler didn’t care, he’ll put up with any bullsh/t as long as he’s getting paid, which Sandreader could do. So they started working together. sandreader didn’t tell Angler much about her plans, usually just paying him to kill or curse dragons. He didn’t care. Anyway, after some time, when Angler noticed, that Sandreader’s underpaying him (the absolute worst crime in Angler’s opinion), he cursed her, too, growing crystals out of her face and arm and leaving her all alone in the desert.
He continued living his average life until Jerboa’s spell. It, obviously, made him upset, but now his copious years of hoarding had come in handy. Now you can say he’s retired.
Additional info:
since blindness is a common disability in the Abysmal Town, their aquatic has been modified to being more “touchy”. Due to this, Angler is perfectly fine with any amount of touches! You can hug him and not get cursed! (But i’ll suggest you to not hug him too much or he’ll try to gain some profit from it, too)
Has a heavy lisp
likes the feeling of silk fabric
he is currently 62 years old
has two dragonets with Siren (they used to be animi, but he deleted their magic, concerned for them growing up to be a replacement for him)
used to be really skinny when he was a kid and gained weight after becoming a hired animus
his teeth were rather small until he was about 14
enchanted the “rod” on his head to track down his targets
since assasinations were all he was tasked with for the majority of his life, he likes to get creative with the ways of killing
aroace
in russian, which is my native language, his name is “Morskoy Chort”, which literally means “sea devil”. i like it more than Angler
