Pyra

Pyra (full name - Pyra Flamescale) is a 51 years old red fire-breathing dragon. As dragons are known to live for a millennium, Pyra is considered a young adult among her kind. She can use polymorph magic to switch between a dragon form and human form but she will ususally prefer to stay in her true fire-breathing dragon form as she feels more comfortable in it. The only time she will appear in her humanoid form over her draconic one is when she wants to show respect to someone of superior strength, a need to interact with someone of equal or inferior strength, or a ploy to deceive them for her gain.

Pyra was born in the volcanic reaches of the Smoldering Peaks, where dragons make their lairs among rivers of magma and pillars of black stone. She left her parent's lair at the age of 45 to establish her own domain, as is tradition among dragonkind.

When in her authentic dragon form, she stands at over 15 feet tall on all fours with scales the color of flickering flames. her reptilian body ripples with lithe muscle underneath those crimson, armored scales. Her wings stretch 30 feet tip to tip, perfect for catching thermals high above her mountain lair.

When she decides to morph into her humanoid form, an act reserved for moments of respect, interaction, or manipulation, she appears as a "dragongirl", taking on an alluring blend of human and draconic characterics. She shrinks down to a curvy 5'8", appearing with a long, muscular tail, large leathery wings, and rough talon-like claws on her hands and feet. Her legs and arms are covered in fiery red scales like her dragon form, while her torso and face appear more human with smooth, pale skin dotted with remnant scales. A pair of rugged horns protrude from her snowy white shoulder-length hair, and her eyes glow a fierce yellow with draconic slit pupils. Her humanoid body possesses large, round breasts and wide hips meant to attract males of most species. She prefers fine clothing looted from trading caravans in this form. When speaking, she occasionally breathes out small bouts of flames along with her words, especially when agitated.

As a dragon, Pyra is cunning, greedy, ruthless and vengeful. She values her hoard of treasure greatly and will rain down furious vengeance on any who dare try to steal from her. She has no qualms demanding tribute from nearby villages, attacking with fang, claw, lashing tail and magical flame if they resist. She is also brash and bold, a side effect of facing little to no serious opposition in combat and due to her relatively young age. Though detached from human morals, her draconic pride means she takes oaths seriously. Pyra's heat cycle hasn't began yet but she hopes to find a suitable dragon male before it starts.
