Disposition:
Snow Fire is a very friendly being who is generally quite nice to those around her and she has a special fondness for elves. She is extremely sociable due to her comparatively long time staying with the elves. She might be considered a bit naive in areas. She has not met much in the way of truly evil humans or other races. Still, she was warned by the elves that certain groups are dangerous and not to be trusted. These include the Coalition as well as several groups within the Federation of Magic.
As a result of the Mechanoids attack on the village she considered her home, she has a strong hatred for the creatures and will try to kill them if she can. Still, she is in no way suicidal and will not take on overwhelming numbers to try to kill them. It is the only group she truly hates with her only distrusting most others. Of course, she still has much to learn about the world still.
Right now, she is trying to learn the rudiments of magic so that she can cast magic on her own. She feels that she is getting close but it not quite there yet. As a result, she is also trying to find others who can help her learn more about magic. She feels it would help her to learn how to fight the Mechanoids far better.

Appearance:
In her dragon form, Snow fire is an extremely lovely dragon with her hide a shade of blue which is almost white. The edges of her scales are tipped with white. In various places such as the spines of her neck and the edge of her wings, it is a sliver in color. She appears slender but strong and is a little on the small sized for an extremely young dragon not truly tiny.
In her transformed form she prefers the form of a young Elven woman who is around six feet in height. The form is usually quite slender although does have the curves of a woman. In this form, she usually has snow white hair and ice blue eyes. Still, somehow the appearance does not seem repelling but more of a welcoming calm than anything else. If not in body armor, she usually wears a simple white dress.

Background:

Snow Fire hatched near a small Elven community in what had once been the southeastern American Empire. Like most baby dragons, she has no clue about who her parents were. After a bit of confused wandering, she found her way into the village. She found that she enjoyed the people of the village and made several friends. She found herself virtually adopted by the village and she lived with them for around a year. She learned much from them in the time she spend with them.

The village was extremely beautiful and set in some incredibly beautiful rolling foothills. Because the village was within close vicinity to a Ley Line, in fact she was born right in a nearby nexus point, she could hold alternate forms when she transformed longer than she could naturally. With having virtually all elves to mimic, she got extremely adept at elven forms. Her favorite was a slender female elf with snow white hair and around six feet in height.

If events had not happened the way they did, she might have stayed with the village for decades before deciding to wander off on her own. Most baby dragons decide to go off exploring many times in their life. Still, fate intervened in the form of the Mechanoids attacking the village. Snow Fire believes that she is the only survivor.

None of the practitioners of the arcane arts within the Elven community could be called true adepts but many were quite skilled. As well, there was a number of powerful psychics. Even the warriors in the village were quite well armed. Even so, nothing helped the defenders and they were decimated. If Snow Fire was anything but a dragon, she would not have survived either.

In the end, she ended up teleporting from the village to save her own life. She hid out and waited for the Mechanoids to move on. After she thought it was safe, she went back to the village. When she got back, she found nothing but burned out ruins. In most cases, the bodies of what had been her friends just a few hours before could not be recognized. It was then that she vowed to hunt down the Mechanoids until there were none left of the world.

There began a quest to hunt down the Mechanoids. She started by working mostly on her own but she had little luck. She managed to fight and defeat a few stragglers but most were in too large a groups for her to fight. As well, often she would fight a straggler and find reinforcements quickly rushing in and she was forced to retreat. Since then, she has been looking for some allies in fighting the Mechanoids. She is also trying to find a practitioner of magic such as a Ley Line Walker who can teach her magic.
