'''Rafaema''' is a young Lightning-type [[Dragons|Dragon]] and one of Manus' Protectors of the Wall.

==Appearance==
In her true Dragon form; her true scales are a deep blue, not like sapphire; not purely one color. They looked like the color of sky before dark storm clouds overtook them. Her eyes shine like gemstones with the two colors of topaz and amethyst.<ref name=":8.21 L" />

In her false Winged Oldblood Drake form; she is a beautiful young Drake, that looks no older than 23,<ref name="7.03">[https://wanderinginn.com/2020/01/29/7-03/ Chapter 7.03]</ref> with teal scales, that shine and flow, akin to water. Her wings and the yellow spines along her neck, looked as if they were sculpted. Even compared to a True Oldblood,  showing the full extent of their heritage, she radiates like the sun itself.<ref name="6.33 E">[https://wanderinginn.com/2019/07/23/6-33-e/ Chapter 6.33 E]</ref> Her voice is crisp and loud.

In her illusory male gnoll form, Rafaema masquerades as a tall male gnoll with dark black, silky fur, with a slight blue tinge.<ref name=":8.39">[https://wanderinginn.com/2021/08/24/8-39/ Chapter 8.39]</ref>

== Personality==
Rafaema is the Dragon's equivalent of a moody young teenager.  In her adolescence, Rafaema was a wild child, having multiple relationships and trying various drugs; by her own admission, she was "lazy." However, when she wasn't allowed to fight when the Antinium sieged Manus, she began training, recognizing that the Antinium were a credible threat. While she strives to become the leader and hope of Manus, she is often frustrated by being left out of decisions by Manus' High Command and Dragonspeaker [[Luciva Skybreath|Luciva]]. She also has a temper, which have led to incidents.<ref name="Queens and Dragons" /> 

Rafaema often becomes melancholy at the thought of being the last of her species. However, she dislikes the other last of her species, [[Cirediel Anvi’dualln Olicuemerdn|Cire]], annoyed by his immaturity, though she is empathetic towards his mental anguish over everyone around him dying while he continues to live.<ref name=":8.21 L" /> 
==Background==
TBA From [https://wanderinginn.com/2020/02/04/interlude-queens-and-dragons/ Interlude – Queens and Dragons] and [https://wanderinginn.com/2021/05/04/8-21-l/ Chapter 8.21 L]

Her egg was found in a hidden vault deep in Manus' Citadel.<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2023/03/01/9-38-tv-pt-1/ Chapter 9.38 TV (Pt. 1)]</ref> She was hatched and Manus' leadership raised her, in the hopes that someday she would lead the city.

She had had many instructors over the years, but some of them turn out to be Turnscales and had taken the risk of telling and showing her things about them which she never forgot, so that when the day comes she would lead them as her people as well.<ref name=":8.44 O">[https://wanderinginn.com/2021/09/26/8-44-o/ Chapter 8.44 O]</ref>

==Chronology==

==Powers and Abilities==
===='''Dragon Physiology'''====
She has the same natural powers and abilities of a typical Lightning-type Dragon. As she is still an adolescent Dragon, these powers and abilities may currently be weaker then an adult Dragon.

*'''Enhanced Condition:''' As a Dragon, even an adolescent one, her conditions are superior to other Races, like Drakes and Gnolls.
**'''Enhanced Hearing:''' Her hearing is as good as a Gnoll’s.<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2021/01/13/8-01/ Chapter 8.01]</ref>
**'''Enhanced Speed:''' She is faster than the younger Earth Dragon, Cire.<ref name=":8.21 L" /> Her speed can be on pair of an [Enhanced Agility] or [Greater Agility] Skill.<ref name=":8.44 O" />
**'''Enhanced Strength:''' She is stronger than the younger Earth Dragon, Cire.<ref name=":8.21 L" />
**'''Enhanced Durability:''' Unless enchanted, her scales can on and might even snap plain steel, without any harm to her. She can also take multiple heavy blows on pair of an [Enhanced Toughness] Skill.<ref name=":8.44 O" />
**'''Intoxication Resistance:''' She can imbibe vast amount of alcohol that would explode a lesser Drake’s stomach, without being the slightest intoxicated.<ref name=":8.44 O" />

**'''Thundercloud Breath:''' She can exhale a cloud charged with electricity, possibly because she may be a Stormheight-subtype.<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2023/09/09/9-57-b/ Chapter 9.57 B]</ref>
*'''Flight:''' Has wings that allows her to fly. With them she can fly so fast that the younger Earth Dragon, Cire, labours to catch up to her.<ref name=":8.21 L" />
*'''Dragon Sensing:''' Like any other Dragon she can sense when she meets an other Dragon even if they are under illusion spells. She can also sense when someone had not only run into a Dragon some time ago (possible a few months ago), but actually been close to one.<ref name=":8.39" />

===Spells:===
She can cast Spells as well as many [Mages].<ref name="Queens and Dragons" />

*[Detect Lies]

===Abilities:===

*'''Swordsmanship:''' She is rated highly with a blade, even if she pretends to use Skills.<ref name="Queens and Dragons" /> True to this she was seen to perform a perfectly-executed cut that severed the targets arm and knee tendons in the same stroke; swiftly followed by a beheading strike.<ref name=":8.21 L" />
*'''Spearmanship:''' She is training to use a Spear in combat,<ref name="Queens and Dragons" /> but her proficiency is currently unknown.

==Quotes==

*[https://wanderinginn.com/2019/07/23/6-33-e/ To] [[Luciva Skybreath|Luciva]]:
**“If they attack us, we attack back. It’s as simple as that, isn’t it? Why are you all debating about it?”
**“It’s fairly normal to me. Humans have always been Humans. The Antinium bother me more. They’re new.”
**“I just said what I felt. See you, Luciva. Um…sorry about Hedica.”
*([https://wanderinginn.com/2020/02/04/interlude-queens-and-dragons/ To] [[Ferris Thycarl|Ferris]]) “Then the Dragonspeaker will be finding a new minder for me. Because the old one went flying with all his fur burnt off by lightning and his bones broken. <em>Before</em> he landed.”
*([https://wanderinginn.com/2021/01/13/8-01/ Thoughts]) ''I heard there was one in the north. But [[Yderigrisel|he]] died too. Are there any of us left besides…Cire?''
*[https://wanderinginn.com/2021/01/13/8-01/ To] [[Ferris Thycarl|Ferris]]:
**“Ferris. Report. ''Ferris.'' I am going to murder you.”
** “…Yes. Yes, it does. Good work, Ferris. I can…use this. There’s no need to convince [[Lyonette du Marquin|this Human]] to go to Manus, either. There’s a way for me to meet you in Oteslia.”
*[https://wanderinginn.com/2021/05/04/8-21-l/ To] [[Cirediel Anvi’dualln Olicuemerdn|Cire]]:
**“You’re not ever ‘cool’. Better this than seeing you chasing after another Drake and telling me how many people you’ve had sex with this month.”
**“…Do you ''think'' before you ask me these things?”
**“''Where'' do you feel it? Because if it’s where I think it is—I’ll stab you. Right where you feel it.”
*([https://wanderinginn.com/2021/08/24/8-39/ To] [[Ferris Thycarl|Ferris]] & [[Makhir]]) “Either way, an actual attack is beyond unlikely. So, Ferris, Hunt Commander. Kindly stop breathing down my tail or I will toss you ''over the walls.''”
*([https://wanderinginn.com/2021/08/24/8-39/ To] [[Cirediel Anvi’dualln Olicuemerdn|Cire]]) “Well, you need to get [[Lyonette du Marquin|her]] alone. ''Not to sleep with her, you twit!'' To ask her about what we both picked up on! ''The other Dragon!''”
*([https://wanderinginn.com/2022/12/21/9-30/ To] [[Tyrion Veltras|Tyrion]]) “Look at this. ''Look at this.'' You—you are emblematic of what haunts us. ''War without end.'' You did not have to attack, again and ''again.'' Here you stand in Liscor. Do you have no shame?”
*([https://wanderinginn.com/2023/04/09/9-41-pt-1/ To] [[Lulv]] and [[Ferris Thycarl|Ferris]]) “''[[Eater Goats|They]] just don’t stop biting.'' It’s every time I go to sleep. They just nibble on my wings, and—''they ate my house!'' ''Every single day!'' And then they bray and bray and—”
