Background

To put it bluntly, Wulfra is not from here. Not just Prospect, or California, or the US, or the country... or the world. She was born in the far reaches of the Umbra, in a desolate wasteland inhospitable to life as it's known. A reflection of smoke, fire, decay, and destruction. It is unknown how her egg ended up there, but there it did, and suffused with those energies, she was born anew. If not for a brave Dreamspeaker wandering into those far Triactic reaches on a mission, she would never have made contact with anyone. Through him, and her own dragony dreams, she was able to learn enough to find somewhere new... a source of hope.

Even for dragons, Wulfra's appearance is strange and alien... even when in a solid form. She has multiple sets of eyes and multiple sets of wings, and she does not squarely fit in to any traditional depiction of western drakes or eastern lungs considering she has traits from both... as well as ones unique to her. But, due to her young age and where she grew up, she has not yet grown very large, only about the size of a horse in dragon form and very skinny in her human one. She wears Do not let her gaunt human appearance or alien dragon appearance fool you, though, she is not some big bad evil wyrm of destruction. She has seen far too much desolation in her time... she wants only to bring good tidings, promote new life.

Watching the Passerbys: Wulfra loves to sit in cozy spaces and just watch people go about their days, and is always interested in seeing new folk. Her favorite spot to watch is the Witches Brew and Occult Shoppe.

Not Quite Right: Wulfra's mannerisms are markedly foreign. She has an accent untraceable to any country, often seems very forced in her expressions, and does not know about many basic things. Anyone who interacts with her for more than a little small talk will start to feel something's off with her.

Encyclopedia of the Dragon Lines: Wulfra is defined by her curiosity, and a source of often enigmatic information. She will inquire about interesting things and take people up on offers she probably should not in order to learn and see more, but she can also provide a great deal of wisdom beyond even what she has learned... taken from her natural attunement to the Dragon Lines connecting everything. Do you speak an obscure language? With only but a moment of exposing her to it, she can understand and speak it!

Fascinated by Mages: Wulfra adores magic practitioners of all sorts, but holds a special interest for Mages due to her mentor being one. If you're a Mage, especially a Dreamspeaker, and looking to augment your magic with the creatures of the tapestry itself, look no further! She might even consider acting as a full on companion if she made a special enough bond with one.

Ride With a Dragon: Wulfra very much enjoys exposing suitable people to wondrous things as much as she loves seeing them herself. If you're in a safe place and she knows you well enough, she'll be glad to show you her true self. And, in places where the mortals can't quite see, she will even let you experience dragon flight if you ask nicely. She is a very talented flyer, and experienced with giving people good rides!

Shapeshifting Thing: Wulfra is of amorphous, ethereal essence. Her smoke and fire can be molded on a whim, and thus she can take on many shapes... though she currently has trouble changing size. Any place where there could be an animal, it could be her... or she might, perchance, learn a new form from you.

Everywhere and Nowhere: Wulfra hails from lands far beyond, ones of hostility and extremes. Her ethereal nature lets her fade in and out of the ether at will, becoming no more than scattered bits of smoke on the wind. Combined with her shapeshifting, lack of need for basic things like air, and ability to step through worlds... she can truly find herself in the most strange and remote places, at the most opportune or inopportune times. Where did she come from, where did she go?

Soundtrack

Persona 5 - Rivers in the Desert
It's now or it's never, and I've got to
Make my decision
This time it could be my moment
Is this a mirage or a chance to fulfill my mission?
My heart is a furnace
It's hot as hell in my world of conflict
One goal is what keeps me going
Take back what I lost to...
The bosses of greed and fear, yeah
Don't ask why I'm ready, but I'm ready to take them down now
The time for a new start
Is constantly drawing nearer
A river in a dry land
The last ace in a lost hand
When the hope of new beginnings burned our feet
Now we need it
A heartbeat for a tin man
An oasis in a singed land
Remind us what we're here for...
Creating new life
Creating rivers in the desert
