Saphira
Description
- Saphira’s original natural form is a juvenile female faerie dragon with a bright yellow body having burnt orange highlights on her head, horns, claws and spine crest. Her butterfly-like wings had panels of bight yellows and oranges. She has a long prehensile tail able to hold onto small objects, often better than her relatively clumsy claws. While her physical age has not changed, the bond with Chiliad and subsequent advancement has enhanced her abilities and body type to that of a very old faerie dragon, with a sapphire blue body covered in translucent gemlike scales with iridescent sheen and bright iridescent blue translucent crystalline butterfly wings. Rarely does she assume her faerie dragon form, and usually only for her dragon family and friends when she assumes her yellow juvenile form.
- Since becoming a bound companion of Chiliad, she has received a blessing of silver draconic moonfire which changed her draconic nature. Her typical draconian form is now that of a tiny silver, gold or hybrid gold/silver dragon. Her scales are seamless and mirror polished with a fine play of iridescent sheen. She has stronger highlights of iridescence in a rainbow of colors but favoring deep blues, typically on the horns, claws and the tip of her tail. She must have wings to fly using either gold or silver form, but can assume her faerie dragon form when she wants to hover for extended periods. She sometimes uses a wingless form for swimming or squeezing into tight places.
- Saphira is very curious and often a bit hyperactive. She often smiles showing a toothy grin, which isn’t always as friendly looking as she means. She can slow down to stalk something she’s interested in, but more often just turns invisible before investigating. While she’s a bit narcissistic and attention seeking, she is also jealous and likes to sit on Chiliad’s shoulder to show a dominant position and how close she is to him.
Background
- Patron Power(s): Nathair Sgiathach, Titania
- When Chiliad invoked a Song of Familiar and summoned a special animal companion, Nathair Sgiathach sent a very special faerie dragon to serve as familiar. Princess Saphira is the juvenile granddaughter of Queen Glister and had not settled down to protect a forest glade. She had made enemies with certain members of the unseelie court and needed a safe place. Since bonding with Chiliad, she has slowly gained power and changed color, reaching a translucent sapphire blue, with associated powers. The power coming from bonding with Chiliad assures she will never leave him.
- Chiliad’s special animal companions serve like wizard familiars, performing small tasks, including house hold chores, guarding Chiliad in his sleep, and delivering messages.

She has mottled golden scaled skin with a metallic gleam, with each scale having intricate patterns of golden yellow and golden brown. She has a wide flat draconian head with sharp beak and teeth, spiky frills and short golden ivory horns. Her eyes have no white but are fully golden orbs with dragon-like slit irises, and red-rimmed eyelids. She has a spiky spine ridge that extends from her neck, down her back and clear to the tip of her tail. She has leathery scaled dragon wings with bands of lighter and darker mottled scales, and a wing span of 8 feet. Her tail is long and thin and prehensile like a chameleon, and has a spiked fin at the end to serve as a rudder to enhance her flight. Her tail also serves as a capable weapon, able to whip and lash during flight and strike over head with the spikes like a scorpion when on the ground. Appearing like a Gen chieftain, she stands slightly taller than the average Kobold or Urd, though she often slouches to support her wings. When flying, she is quick and maneuverable, capable of gliding for long distances or pulling up sharply.
- She is quiet and only speaks to her companions by telepathy. Gangly and awkward on the ground, she will prefer flight for overhead surveillance and attacks. When she does speak, it will sound like the gruff barking typical of Kobolds.

She typically has long straight platinum blonde hair that is slightly wavy at the ends, though she sometimes has translucent pale blue hair when she is feeling more exotic. She can adjust her apparent age from young to young adult, often appearing as an apprentice and therefore of little consequences. She likes to wear long colorful dresses or robes with intricate patterns, even when adventuring with Chiliad. She’ll add necklaces, rings, earrings and wire braids to her hair to suit her mood.
- She is quiet and somewhat mischievous. She almost always has a twinkle in her eyes and a smile on her face, and the more mischievous she is feeling, the more teeth show in her smile. She’ll giggle at the drop of a hat, and sometimes when it isn’t appropriate. She is not mean, but she’d rather tease or trick you to do things her way than to ask directly. She has a soft feminine voice during normal conversation but her singing voice is strong and clear.
