((Sky will be helping me judge this contest))

Owner: Dea and #Teddy#
Name: Skyla (girl)
Personality: Skyla is a real sweetheart, who likes helping others. She is very shy, however, and tends to stay close to her parents. When she is first trying something out, she has a tendency to be very cautious, not wanting to look foolish in front of others, especially her parents. Like her parents, she loves the stars and can be seen looking up into them and wondering what it would be like to fly among them.
Prompt response: When Stella told Skyla that it was time to test her wings, Skyla gave her mother a dubious look.

"Are you sure about this, Mama? I am so afraid that I am going to look like an idiot,"Skyla sighed. She was looking over the side of her mother's back, where she was perched and she gulped. Images of falling to the ground like a rock and becoming a smear on the ground below were popping into her head. She looked to her mother for comfort and saw the encouraging smile, the one that told the little girl her mother had faith in her.

As Stella seemed to level out in the sky, Skyla took a deep breath and reminded herself that she would never reach the stars if she didn't learn to fly. She thought about how graceful her mother always looked in the air and she was determined to be ably to fly like that. So with these thoughts in her head and the thoughts of falling pushed to the back of her mind, She spread her dainty wings. She pushed gently off her mother's back and began to flap her wings.

At first, she didn't seem to be going very far and she saw her mother under her, just in case the little girl fell. Skyla closed her eyes for a moment, picturing the stars, before she worked on flapping her wings a little more, finding herself hovering a little higher.

"I'm doing it, Mama, I am actually flying!"Skyla cheered. It may not be very high or very far, but it was flying. She knew with enough practice, she would be able to fly like her mother, something she was looking forward to.

Owner: Rinial Sisterdragon
Name: Omni Galactrix
Personality:
Omni has a bit of a problem with staying in one place. Always feeling spread out in thought, as though the expanse of its mid encompasses more than just this corner of the universe. Omni is often influenced by which constellation is in the main house. Reflective or confrontational depending on the time of the year. Having this issue or blessing, as it might be seen, causes its personality to become complicated, making it feel as though withdrawing from the world might be its best action.
Prompt response:
Male for prompt sanity.

Bumbling. That was how he felt when his mother instructed him on flight. Wings that would not move when he wanted them to, frustration as the ground impacted his face. Every ounce of his being was beginning to collapse in aggravation as self loathing rose from him in waves. How in the hell was he supposed to find his rhythm with his mother pushing for him to fly. She flew with such ease, and he...he stumbled and ate dirt every time he got a little off the ground.

Truthfully he wasn't actually upset with his mother, just himself for seemingly being the failure of a child that couldn't get it. He desperately wanted some words of praise from his mother, or his father, but with his performance as such, he felt as though they would never give it. He would never be capable of hearing their praise...their words of encouragement only rubbing salt in his injured pride. Taking a stride, and much to everyone's horror, he bee-lined for the cliff nearby. If he wasn't able to catch flight this way, then he'd rather fall to his death. His paws picked up speed and he dove off the cliff, seeming as though he was going to hit the ground, then his wings moved, shifted, and he caught the wind. A howl of triumph as he did so, however it wasn't exactly flight as he glided into the distance, his altitude slowly decreasing.

It wasn't exactly what he had wanted, but it was a start. Perhaps being a glider wasn't so bad. It wasn't as terrible as being the failure at flight like he had suspected he was. He sighed as he finally came to rest on the ground, his landing less than decorous as he flipped onto his back and skidded. He simply repeated to himself as he heard the flap of his mother's wings, I am not a failure

Name:
Male: Canopus
Female: Capella

Personality:
(Forgive the roughness but this will be an attempt at gender neutrality)
Within this egg rests a gem whose heart is pure and brave, this little life will forever have the drive to defend the weak and make a difference in the world. Taking after it’s family this soldier is guided by the light of the stars and the stories they tell. Hearing tales of heroism and tragedy the stars depict from loving parents this little one will grow with the values these tales demonstrate. This little one will know each constellation by name and history, something of interest to the gem. Often times this child will sit beside it’s parents and listen to what they have to say about life, soaking it all in and making sense of it all on its own. Even though this egg will grow into a creature with many values the mischievous side will not be utterly removed. Taking enjoyment from wooing the opposite sex when this egg grows to an adult will also be a past time, but not in a cruel manner for that would go against the values taught by the stars and loved ones. Vibrancy and valor are two words that may be used to describe this celestial being. Dare not tread on the weak or those who are close to this defender for the consequences will be grave.

Prompt response:

Sibling after sibling ferociously flapped their wings as their mother pushed them to remain airborne. Sibling after sibling became more comfortable with every downward stroke and soon they were flying as though they had been born with the skill. Finally the gleaming eye of their mother turned upon Canopus, his heart beating loudly beneath his ribs, and he took bold steps toward the practice area. The entire time he had been watching his siblings learning to lift off of the ground gracefully and fly away he had been itching to get out there and prove himself. No fear shown in his young gaze as he looked confidently at his mother and nodded his head, allowing her to know he was ready to take off. When his nod was returned and his mother gave him the command to lift he pounded his wings, the muscles protesting and his eyes squeezing shut in obvious concentration as he focused on the task at hand. More and more adrenaline built up in his system and each time he felt his feet touch back down to earth he would bounce back up, trying twice as hard.

In order to be the brave warrior he knew he could be he had to learn to fly, to perform aerial stunts and swoop in to help those in need. The stars spoke of heroes, their souls being lifted to the heavens and arranged into the constellations for everyone to see for all eternity. They gained immortality by following certain values and pleasing the gods, it was Canopus’ intention to do the same. Not only would he bring pride to his family but he would be known as a defender of those who were unable to defend themselves. He had seen the fire burning in his mother’s eyes from time to time again and had collected it within himself. Not only had he learned from his mother but he admired his father’s wisdom, filing that in his bank. Courage and knowledge would lead him as would compassion among many other such emotions and values. He would protect those he loved but he would never lose sight of the beauty of life, he would always enjoy it and never be entirely too serious.

“Good!” He heard his mother call. Opening his eyes he realized he was now flying, a smile passed over his maw and he glanced at his mother, pride swelling his chest. He hadn’t shown fear and he had focused on what he had really wanted, because of that he was able to succeed. Something he would always remember in the years to come. Life was just beginning and he would face it head on, greeting the day and seizing life with all he had.
