Name: Princess Ember (Also known as Dragon Lord Ember)
Sex: Female
Age: Young Adult (Although her father would call her a child)
Species: Sky Dragon
Eye Colour: Dark Orange
Coat: Ember's body is primarily covered in cyan scales. Her torso is covered in a thicker set of pale turquoise scales. She has indigo membranes on her wings along with trace blue scales dotting her body.
Mane/Tail: She has dark blue crest atop her head that trails off to the back of her head. Her crest is accented by her gray horns and her tail is tipped with a dark blue ending that resembles an immense feather.
Physique: Ember has a wiry frame that is substantially more slim than most members of her species. She has been referred to as small and weak by other dragons, but can manage to be highly mobile even while wearing heavy armor. She has a powerful set of wings that are more than strong enough to carry far in excess of her own weight with relative ease.
Residence: The Dragon Lands, on an unnamed volcanic island.
Occupation: Princess Ember is currently the Dragon Lord and manages the affairs of dragons whenever necessary. When free from the problems of her subjects, she often studies the texts of other creatures, lending her small collection of ancient tomes to any others who wish to learn about the world around them.
Cutie Mark: She is a dragon and does not have a cutie mark.
Unique Traits: While small for a dragon, Ember is still taller than most ponies thanks to her draconic heritage. She can breathe fire, but often avoids doing so to avoid scaring her less than fireproof friends. While dragons have a tendency to be greedy, she manages to share well with others, although she is prone to prideful outbursts when stressed. As the Dragon Lord, she can call upon other dragons in Equestria to gather in the Dragon Lands for meetings, but only does so when immensely important.

History: She grew up in the immense shadow of Dragon Lord Torch, her father. As an only child, her father was immensely protective, valuing her like one of his most prized jewels.  She was never for want, but often found herself resenting her father for never letting her earn anything on her own. Her pride often prevented her from succumbing to greed, knowing other dragons would mock her if she accepted a treasure horde gifted to her by a doting father. This, combined with her young age, for a dragon, has lead her to be smaller than most other dragons. This small size only drove her to be more competitive, working immensely hard to overcome her size with any knowledge she could find. She learned proper grappling techniques from dated instruction books and learned how to properly fit and wear a suit of armor that she used to compensate for her size and attain a level of anonymity. Ember was determined to earn the praise that her father showered upon her and set to win the gauntlet of fire, a difficult trial that determined the next dragon ruler. She was willing to do anything to prove her worth and even befriended a stranger who knew nothing about his own species. She eventually succeeded won the gauntlet and earned her reluctant father's respect. She now hopes to rule as Dragon Lord with as much success as her much more imposing father.
 

Character Summary: Ember is a proud dragon who wants to be treated with respect and dignity. She is willing to do anything to prove her worth and toughness, even going so far as to openly disregard the wishes of a dragon lord! She is rash and takes risks, but calculates them as best she can. She opted to wear a disguise to avoid the detection of what would have been an angry father her refused her entry into the dangerous gauntlet to determine the next dragon lord. Her overeager nature has gotten her into trouble though. While flying over an immense body of water, she accidentally crashed into another dragon and fell into the bay below! If not for the help of another dragon, she may have been on a one way trip to the bottom of the sea.

She is surprisingly knowledgeable for a dragon, reading up on the basics of other cultures from any dusty tomes she can get her claws on. While she may not know exactly how many alicorns live in Equestria, a number that has only recently started to change, she knows enough about ponies to respect the deeds and power of the primary species in Equestria. When confronted by members of other species in her native lands, she is both impressed and confused by the bravery of another species to encroach in the dangerous lands of her people. She hopes to visit foreign lands and create friendships and alliances with all the creatures in Equestria to better serve all the species in the immense world.

Princess Ember is a bit unusual for a dragon, one of the few natives in the Dragon Lands who hasn't outright refused the idea of friendship. Her years of reading about ponies and their odd 'friendship' made her willing to accept the concept after she dealt with her own foolish pride. She earned the friendship and respect of her father by managing to complete the gauntlet of fire when he thought she would be unable to complete it. She also befriended a small earth dragon during the gauntlet who taught her that friendships are more than just convenient alliances. She hopes to become friends with wise creatures across Equestria so that she might learn more about their grand world that her species has often spurned and mocked. She secretly hopes to gain the respect and appreciation of other dragons not by ordering them to, but through calm and well intentioned leadership.
