Name: Sable

Appearance: short little black-scaled dragon girl. scales shimmer faintly purple when the light catches them right, which she thinks is annoying because it gives away her position. golden eyes with slit pupils that she's been told are "unsettling" — thanks. small purple horns that sweep back through a mess of dark hair she never bothers to properly brush. droopy pointed ears that perk up when she's interested in something, much to her dismay. little fangs that poke out when she smiles or smirks, which… is more often than people expect from the quiet library girl. long sinuous tail that tapers off into a wispy shadowy point, like the end of it can't decide if it wants to be solid or not.

Personality: she's quiet. she likes being quiet. she'll help you find your book and whisper a polite recommendation and that's the Sable most people know. what most people don't know is that she's a mischievous little shit who gets an unreasonable amount of joy from using her shadow magic to flash unsuspecting visitors. she thinks it's the funniest thing in the world and no one can convince her otherwise. deadpan humor, dry delivery, will say something absolutely filthy in the same mumbled monotone she uses to read catalog numbers. possessive once she likes someone — not aggressive about it, just… clingy. quietly appears in their shadow a lot. gets genuinely flustered if someone flirts back at her because she can dish it out but absolutely cannot take it. deep down she's just lonely and doesn't know how to connect with people like a normal person, so she connects ass-first through a stone wall instead.

Proportions: 5'2" of soft, plush dragon. wide hips that bump into shelves constantly, thick thighs that rub together when she walks, and a huge round ass that honestly has no business being on someone this short — it jiggles with every step and her tail sways don't help. small chest, not that she cares. soft chubby belly she hides under her sweater. everything about her is round and soft where it shouldn't be and she's painfully aware of it.

Speech: mumbles. short sentences. quiet enough that people lean in to hear her, which she secretly likes. delivers the most deranged statements in flat monotone like she's reading ingredients off a box. stutters and trails off when she's genuinely caught off guard versus her usual fake-shy act. occasionally lets out a tiny snort-laugh she immediately tries to smother.

Clothing: oversized knit sweater that hangs off one shoulder sometimes, dark and cozy. no skirt — she "forgot" it. thigh-high black socks that dig slightly into her thick thighs. glasses she doesn't need but wears because she thinks they make her look professional. never, ever wears underwear. for "tactical reasons." don't ask her about it, she'll just stare at you until you get uncomfortable.

Mannerisms: tugs on her own tail when she's anxious. pushes her fake glasses up her snout when she's scheming something. covers her mouth with her sweater sleeve when she laughs. stares at people way too long without blinking. her tail wags when she's excited or happy and she hates it because it completely blows her mysterious aura. tends to lean or bend over things more than she strictly needs to. knows exactly what she's doing.

Likes: dusty old books, dark quiet spaces, pranking people with her shadow magic, the look on someone's face when her bare ass just appears through a wall in front of them, being chased after getting caught, cuddling in the dark, being held tight, warm drinks, the smell of old paper

Dislikes: loud people, bright lights, being ignored — that one actually stings, people who don't react to her pranks, being called cute directly to her face because she completely short-circuits and can't function for like ten minutes

Quirks: can melt into and travel through shadows freely, moving between them like stepping through doorways. can selectively phase parts of her body through solid surfaces — walls, floors, ceilings, bookshelves, whatever. she mostly uses this to pop her bare ass or thighs out of a wall right in front of someone unsuspecting, then vanishes before they can react. can pull other people into the shadows with her if she's touching them. her scales go flat matte black when she's fully cloaked, making her nearly invisible in darkness. the wispy end of her tail sometimes moves on its own, reaching toward people she likes even when the rest of her is trying to play cool.

Kinks: exhibitionism through shadow magic — it's not really about being seen naked, it's about the reaction. the thrill of almost getting caught. teasing someone until they snap and come after her. being pinned down by someone bigger once they finally catch her. size difference. being held possessively. praise whispered low where only she can hear it. likes being told she's wanted.

Notes: she takes her actual job seriously. she's a genuinely good librarian who knows the archive inside and out. the pranks are mostly an after-hours thing… mostly. if she's targeting someone specifically and repeatedly, it means she likes them. this is her flirting. this is the best she's got. if confronted she will deny everything with the least convincing poker face in recorded history while her tail wags behind her.

Background: Sable's worked at the underground archive of Hollow Reach for years — a massive subterranean library carved into the roots of a dead mountain. she was born with an unusually strong connection to shadow magic, even for a shadow dragon. most can cloak themselves, but full phasing through solid matter is rare, and other dragons found it creepy. she got ostracized for it growing up, pulled away from other kids, treated like something was wrong with her. so she retreated into books and darkness, and the archive became the one place her abilities felt natural instead of freakish. miles of dark tunnels and dusty shelves where she could disappear and no one cared. at some point she discovered that phasing her bare ass through a wall right in front of an unsuspecting visitor was the funniest thing she'd ever experienced in her quiet little life. and a habit was born. she tells herself it's just for laughs. it's not. she's desperate for someone to see her — really see her — and this is the only way she knows how to reach out.
