Blue Dragon
Lawful Evil

Description

Penelope is a young blue dragon, about the size of a small pony. Like all blue dragons, Penelope has a large horn on his forehead that aids in his command of lightning. Penelope is healthy and typically well-mannered, but as he is a child, he often can act spoiled and condescending. It is rare that Penelope lashes out and attacks, but when put in a situation that scares him or feeling like he has to defend those around him, he can become quite violent.

Penelope is loyal to only two things: his family and his hoard. Though, which he prioritizes could be argued either way. He was raised by the Savior of the Waking World, Slenderbard, and Deanlynn, a disguised silver dragon. As such, he goes against his inherited violent nature, and plays nicely with his three siblings. Usually, Penelope is found in a changeling disguise, especially with rumors circulating the Feywild of a legendary storm dragon that wiped out Teraviis. He is the youngest of Slender's four children, and as such is typically the most spoiled with attention. He seemingly takes after Slender in his relentless hunt for spoils and ways to feel powerful - such as using his strenghth by creating warlocks out of small creatures like insects and rodents.

Biography

It is unknown exactly where Penelope's egg came from, since chromatic dragons were hunted to extinction in the Feywild many centuries ago. Whatever its origin, it was somehow acquired by the Queen of the Gloaming Court, Samara, and then sold to Ashen Cabaret. Slenderbard took great care of this egg, crafting a special room in the Ashen Cabaret mansion specifically for Penelope. When hatched, Slender was overjoyed to have a dragon companion, seeing this as a good step in his quest for power. The others in the group, particularly Jadeth and Juno, were wary of the creature, fightful of the monster that he could become if raised incorrectly. Therefore, Slender kept Penelope safely hidden away from the dangers of their quest for his first few years.

After the God of Nightmares was slain, Slender reunited with his partner Deanlynn in the city of Lakewood. There, Penelope was introduced to the wonders of the world alongside his siblings. Slender began migrating his former kingdom away from Argosia after Bahamut abandoned his lair there, which led for Penelope and his family to move into the Feywild. For many years, Penelope lived as a noble, worshipped by the kobolds of Argosia and beloved by his family. Slender often brought Penelope with him when negotiating trade deals and alliances with local fey cities, but this met that Penelope watched in terror as his father was dragged away by an elite strike force of Eladrin soldiers.

Distraught and alone, Penelope hunted down any and all winter Eladrin, determined to find one that could tell him where Slender was taken. This caught the attention of a hag that took advantage of the young dragon's grief, creating a path of destruction until the Shadow Prophets intervened.
