[CLOSED] WoF OC Reviews

Chestnut;; MudWing OC

I remember reading about this character in another bio about a month ago, which shows how lazy I am.

This character was submitted by LoleusFronto.

BASIC INFORMATION;;
------ Name: Chestnut.
I like that name for a MudWing.

------ Nickname: Ol' Chestnut.
Cute.

------ Age: 82 (current timeline. Most of her backstory happens over sixty years ago).
I'd like to think her life began before she was 82.

------ Gender: Cisgender female.
Cool!

------ Sexuality: Heteromantic asexual.
I see a lot of old characters who are asexual. I get that it's a bit weird, imagining a senior being attracted to someone, but keep in mind that most people did in their younger years.

------ Tribe: MudWing.
Always a pleasure seeing a MudWing OC.

------ Abilities: MudWing stuff and is pretty strong too.
Isn't that a part of MudWing stuff?

------ Relationship Status: Widow (will explain later).
I actually haven't come across a dragon referred to as a widow before.

------ Occupation: Currently is a carpenter in Possibility (I really like that town okay?), formerly a doctor, formerly a museum guard.
That's a pretty wide range of jobs. Possibility is a quaint little town, to be fair.

PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION;;
She has chestnut coloured scales (hence her name), a lighter brown for her underbelly and is a bit lanky for a MudWing.
I thought she was strong? Lanky and strong don't really go together.

She only has her right eye and has many scars all over her body but they have mostly faded over the years. She was considered a very pretty dragon when she was younger.
Ooo, I wonder how that happened?

PERSONALITY;;
------ Strengths: She's observant, creative and quick-witted. She's open to conversations and is good at working with dragonets. Chestnut's also a logical thinker (most of the time). She loves working.
These all flow together quite well. She sounds charming.

------ Flaws: She was recklessly brave when she was younger, and has a tendency to cry with any emotion (be it sadness, fury, happiness, or frustration).
Ah, so I'm assuming the "logical thinker" trait is something that developed over time?

She's a bit old fashioned when it comes to controversial topics such as hybrids, intertribal relationships, homosexuality and transgenders, however she's trying her best to understand and accept them. (Such as how she's accepted the fact that her great grand-niece Cricket is lesbian).
Aww, that's really sweet.

((Disclaimer: I'm not anti-LGBT+ I just feel like these views would make sense for an old character like Chestnut.))
Your character's views don't have to reflect your own. You're right in that sense, although bear in mind that LGBT has existed in Pyrrhia since Darkstalker's era (refer to Snowflake and Snowfox). Of course, if she was raised in an environment where LGBT and things like hybrids were uncommon, it makes sense that she's feel that way. I'm glad you included this disclaimer, though.

BACKSTORY;;
Okay, first let's back it up because a lot of this is based on a headcanon I have. So, before how it is in the current MudWing (with the whole breeding night thing) relationships were usually like a typical nuclear family with a father, mother and children. This however was abolished and replaced with breeding nights and sibling loyalty when the old queen got dumped by her lover so she thought "Well if I can't be loved, nobody can! Plus siblings are better! Who needs a romance anyway?"
That's a very interesting idea! I'll bear it in mind.
