Biography

ODAHVIING

Matriarch

B I O G R A P H Y

_____The warrior-matriarch of the clan, Odahviing has little tolerance for those that she deems 'useless' - those who are part of her clan are so for a reason, and each dragon has their own duties to perform, trusted to maintain their responsibilities without question. She expects each wyrm who travels with the Wandering Clan to keep to their tasks, and those that fail to do so will find themselves the subject of her furious wrath. Occasionally, her mate, Alduin, will step in to quell her rage - he is (and always will be) the only being in existence who can do so and escape with his hide intact. She leaves most of the interpersonal dealings between her clanmates to her partner, who has a much gentler touch when it comes to diplomacy. For the most part, she trusts his judgement when it comes to others, but she has no qualms with using violence to make her opinions known when necessary, even taking More than one dragon has met their end beneath her savage talons, and the few members of her small clan rarely question her decisions. They all know that survival is not an easy task.Only those capable of adapting quickly will survive in the harsh wilds that her clan wanders - and Odahviing is not afraid to thin the ranks herself.

_____It isn't that she doesn't care for her clanmates; in fact, it’s quite the opposite. Underneath her viciousness is a fierce love for those surrounding her, and there is very little she would not do for them. The dragons that she travels consistently with are those that she trusts with her life, and those that try and follow her pack without her permission are often met with snarling teeth and angry, ripping claws. She will not hesitate to remove a dragon that she feels is a threat to the clan's overall safety, and those that she's scorned do well to keep their distance from their matriarch. It's because of her concern for her small family that she urges them to keep their distance from other clans, preferring to choose caution over unnecessary aggression. While she is not afraid, she knows that one misguided draconic rival has the potential to do her clanmates great harm. She herself has been near-death on more than one occasion at the hand of another dragon, and she bears the shredded wings and dark scars to prove it.

_____The truth is, Odahviing refuses to let her love become a weakness, to the point that she would choose the survival of her clan over the survival of her mate, if she was forced into such a decision. There are more important things than her own personal feelings, and for her, the needs of the many will always outweigh the needs of the few. This has resulted in more than a few hurt feelings, but Odahviing doesn’t let herself be bothered by such things. They are a tedium she doesn’t have time for.

_____Not all her decisions for clanmates have been good ones, and she’s done her best to make sure her family hasn’t suffered for it. Some decisions just came too late (the roles that Birdskull and Tixtet fill would have been lifesaving if they’d joined earlier, for example) some were made too quickly, and some were twisted by fate into something that never should have been. Odahviing remembers every face that was once family, and they all haunt her in one form or another. The most recent one still follows her clan, and while Odahviing fights to keep Sonom at a distance, the monstrosity that was once the caregiver of her hatchlings remains breathing for reasons the matriarch will not explain. Though Sonom has done more damage to Odahviing than any other - their last fight ended with Odahviing and Sonom both in the Wyrmwound with Alduin dragging them out, a tragedy that left all three changed forever - Odahviing can’t bring herself to kill the dragon who was once one of her closest friends. Perhaps she leaves her alive to remind her that forgiveness is always wanted but rarely deserved from those who desert her and her pack.

_____Forgiveness does not come easily from Odahviing, not unless those asking it can prove they've earned it, and she has yet to encounter an occasion where someone has. She will fight fiercely to keep at bay those who have betrayed her, even going so far as to On more than one occasion she's been forced to move against those who were once friends to her, and the experience has always left her worn, though she does her best not to show it. Fortunately, those that are within her ranks are dragons she can trust to watch her back in the moments when she’s world-weary, and she’s forever grateful to them. Life is rarely simple on the nomadic path that she’s chosen, and the company of her packmates ease the strain that such a life can cause.

_____Odahviing has never known a time when survival wasn’t difficult. A birth defect left her strange and twisted, with bony protrusions ringing her skull and teeth permanently exposed over the flesh of her lips, and her birth clan abandoned her before she could even fly, leaving her to die in the unforgiving expanse of the Scarred Wasteland. For days, she wandered alone, scavenging what she could and taking refuge whenever she had the chance; but it wasn't enough - and when she collapsed on the shore of the Sea of a Thousand Currents, she was sure that the day that was dawning would be her last, and when the small guardian approached her, she struggled to put distance between herself and him, using the last of her energy to try and keep him at bay. Her last sight was his face coming closer and closer to hers, clawmarks evident where she'd managed to kick him directly on the snout - but Alduin was tenacious even then, and a bellyful of fish later Odahviing found herself indebted to the young dragon. When she prepared to leave the beach, he followed her, and she found it hard to discourage him. After all, he'd just saved her life!

_____Over time the two grew close, and by the time they'd both reached adulthood, the fact that they were mates was unquestionable. Though Alduin seemed incapable of learning exactly what his talons were for, he had a knack for making her smile, and she knew she could trust him beyond all else. From the very beginning, he played the role of diplomat while Odahviing did the killing when it was necessary, and even when their small clan began to grow, their roles remained the same. Even today, after countless ages, there is still fondness between the two, and Alduin occasionally brings her small trinkets that she in turn keeps in a small box, kept secret from all others (including Alduin himself).

_____Nowadays, Odahviing’s settled into a comfortable rhythm with her clan and the world around them. She knows the paths she must take, the actions that must be done, and she maintains the peace...at any cost. The burden of being matriarch is one she wears well, and she never takes her responsibilities lightly; and the clan, in turn, has profited under her leadership. She will do whatever she can to ensure that she remains in the position she’s earned, if only because she knows she will always do what’s best for her clan.
