Appearance
At first glance
This dragon shimmers with a muted opalescence. The white "hair" on her head and face are feathers, carefully preened to appear like human features. She has sapphire blue eyes, and opal claws, though she can retract the claws like a cat can. Her wings are not leathery, but are, in fact, feathered dragon wings, covered in protective scales in the webbing spread between the "fingers". Her tail has a small crystal ball on the end, that can be swung like a mace, and can be shattered though it takes a great deal of blunt force to do so.
This "compressed" form is what she was able to salvage from being ripped from her home world, Pellea, at the summons of a novice seer. Given the lack of skill of the seer, her summoner had been killed the moment she condensed into a physical being. Her arrival "shattered" her, splitting her essence into three layers that exist in the physical, the spirit, and the ley layers of Prime Earth, which terminated her original time thread and placed her in an inexplicable temporal stasis, immortal to the ravages of time. Because of what she is, and her experiences in her former home, Pellea, she is unable to die permanently. She can get knocked out, rendered unconscious, or placed into a stasis state for extended periods of time, however the effects of time no longer apply to her due to her unexpected, and inexplicable arrival. For those deeply familiar with magic, she bares a soul brand, a mark on the essence of her very soul that is heavily enchanted preventing her from slipping from the mortal plane. She doesn't speak about it to just anyone, so be careful with approaching her about the soul brand.
Her feathers and scales do shift in color due to her moods and it would be helpful to know what each color represents in moods to better understand her attitude and mood for the day.

Crystal's Chronicle
- (On-going story reveal and developments.)
As it is known, Crystal doesn't talk about much of her past for many reasons.

A set of ruins had been discovered in Mercy, out in Rogue Isles that one of the refugees has taken up as her home stomping grounds. These ruins are unlike anything seen in Prime or in Praetoria in regards to technological and architecture design, suggesting that they may be a displaced portion of Pellea that had been lodged on Prime underground, for inexplicable reasons.
