🏰 Backstory & Personality

📖 Backstory:

Born into the prestigious House Emberborn, Minaka was bonded to Syrian, a dragon with the ability to shift his scales and camouflage in his surroundings, from birth. This bond, formed through the rare and dangerous blood magic only a few witches can survive, set her on a path of power and responsibility. Raised in the royal courts of Eryndor, Minaka was taught the ways of ruling, sorcery, and dragon-riding.
