Description

3/2/17

Name: Fennec
Tribe: SandWing
Gender: Male
Location: Prospect
Family: Marram (Mother), Gila (Father), Gobi (Older Half Brother), Mirage (Older Half Sister), Jerboa (Brother, Same Hatching), and Cheetah (Older Sister, Same Hatching)

Description: Dark gray eyes, light colored scales, smaller than a normal SandWing.
Friends: Scorch (Best Friend/his personal inferno), Cinder (Sparing buddy), Cheetah (Protective (and unemotional) older sister), Jerboa (The Bad Influence), Poppy (a good acquaintance who he thinks is really nice), Viper (the terrifying best buddy of Cheetah. He finds her intimating but if he ever needed protection from someone and his sisters or Gobi or Scorch was around, he'd go to her).

Personality: Fennec is the youngest dragonet of Gila and Marram. He is incredibly hyper, he can be rude and un empathetic to other's feelings sometimes when he is too hyper. When he was younger, his brother, Jerboa, was mean to him and picked on him. That soon ended when Cheetah stepped in and gave Jerboa (or as his friends call him, Jerry) the stink eye and he stopped for a while. As they got older, Jerry got attracted to the wrong crowd and did drugs and other bad things while in Prospect. Cheetah became friends with another female SandWing named Viper. 

Likes: Fennec also loves games. He loves competition. He is a good loser and a meh winner. He'll boast and be a boy and yea. He likes Scorch, he likes girl dragons A LOT. (When he was younger he had a biiiiiig crush on Cinder, but since there were rumors, Scorch went up to him and told him to leave his sister alone. They got into a fight and became best friends!) He loves his siblings, but he finds as he grows older that he becomes less and less tolerate of his brother, Jerry. He also loves Scorch's family. 

Dislikes: Anyone who picks on his friends, despite his small size, he has no problem sticking people with his tail. You know what they say about scorpions, the smaller they are the more lethal. (Ironically, Fennec's older brother, Jerry, is at least 3x the size of Fennec. ;)) He dislikes losing, but he makes the most of it by learning to overcome his mistakes and become better. He also dislikes humidity. He finds it annoying and wet and not fun at all, but he has no problem with RainWings, once he actually dated a RainWing/SkyWing named Rainbow, unfortunately, she had to go to the SkyWing Kingdom, but before leaving she did give Fennec his first 'kiss' (can dragons kiss?). 


Crushes? Well. He once dated a Rain/Sky named Rainbow who was being fostered by a SkyWing named Meteor. He had a crush on Cinder, but stopped due to his respect of Scorch. Right now be is trying to get into the good graces of a SeaWing named Seafoam, but with her  brothers (a rare triplet), Reef and Oyster never leaving her side, he's close to abandoning the royal blue beauty and going after a petite NightWing named MorningStar.

Some bad things about Fennec: Despite is fun appearance, he can be a big pushover for the ones he loves and despite his small stature, he has one hell of a temper. He can be brash, boastful, so blunt he can be rude, sarcastic, and jittery. When he gets stressed out, he shakes his tail, often forgetting that he as a poisonous weapon on the end of it and once (or twice) accidentally stabbed a fellow dragon standing peacefully next to him. He can bully other dragonets, but he doesn't understand that it is bullying, it registers as playful teasing. Eventually, Cinder teaches him to be more sensitive, which sometimes be can be incapable of (meaning he can be EXTREMELY insensitive). He also has gotten into many fights with his fellow dragons. 

10 facts about Fennec:

1. He has a talon that won't bend on his left hand from a fight where he broke it and it didn't heal correctly. 
2. Fennec has done drugs. His brother, Jerboa, is actually in the little drug business outside of Prospect and he and his friends do an insane amount of tobacco (They roll the leaves up and smoke them with their fire), opium (they sometimes eat the poppy seeds, make heroin, morphine, or codeine), Jerry has a friend that gets him shrooms and sassafras root (ecstasy, they call it Root though)). Fennec tried some Heroin because he thought it would calm him down (and his brother is an asshole and has been hinting for him to try it. Jerry is like that popular kid who does drugs because its cool). Fennec got into a fight with Scorch about something (they both have tempers hotter than lava) and finally Fennec breaks under the stress and the persistence of his brother. He is found hours later by Scorch who was looking for him to apologize and found him as a feral animal and utterly insane. 
3. His favorite color is green. Like a bright, fresh green. 
4. When he gets older, he learns how to control his hyper ness. He also releases his extra tension by hunting animals and fighting. He has no problem killing animals. He never ever wants to be so stressed and so upset that he turns down his brother's path.
5. If Fennec were human, he would have ADD or ADHD and it would be pretty bad. 
6. Fennec as a young dragonet was the most sickly, he had ear infections, fevers, at one point he had meningitis. Thanks to an Animus SandWing that Scorch's brother Merlin knew, he survived them all.
7. Fennec' favorite memory was the time Cheetah woke him up and brought him to an abandoned home near their den and showed him Jerboa screwing his now ex-girlfriend, Arid. Fennec remembers Cheetah and him watching them and then Cheetah calling out to Jerboa. They both laughed their asses off as Jerboa and Arid freaked out. Arid totally ran into every single wall in that den before rushing out a window. Jerboa tried to attack Cheetah and Fennec but both got away. The next morning when Jerboa confronted them, they denied ever seeing them and blamed it on his cronies Meercat and Muskrat. 
8. Unlike his siblings, Fennec doesn't get his colors from his parents. Marram has the black scales and Sandy yellow scales and brown freckles that Cheetah takes after, while Gila has darker yellow scales and a dark underbelly that Jerboa has. Oddly, Fennec actually takes after his Grandfather who had pale scales, dark gray eyes, and a Sandy Ridge. 
9. Eventually, Fennec does get a tattoo, because he was drunk (fermented berries) with Scorch and Scorch dared him to get a tattoo, and he did. Because why not. 
10. Despite Fennec's discomfort around young dragonets (he accidentally stabbed one once while he was stressed), he actually finds Scavengers absolutely adorable and can't help but coo at them whenever he sees one.

Bonus 11. There is the Fight, Flight, or Freeze instinct. Fennec would most likely be flight, but then feel guilty, turn around, and join the fight. His hyper ness combined with the adrenaline will make him unstoppable and he will not be able to think about 'freezing'

So this has been an OC idea for long time now and I'm so happy I finally got to draw him. I might give him bigger ear though. His colors are based off of a Fennec Fox.

lol, looking at this almost a year after I posted and all I could think was 'this is my rough draft of Patch'
