Appearance:
Lucia has shimmering sapphire scales that cover most her body, and has a 'stripe' of a dull blue-ish white that starts just below her jaw and extends all the way down her tail, about ¾ of the way. The scales on her shoulders, forearms upto and including the elbows, thighs/hips and outer shin/calf muscle up to and including the knee cap are a bit thicker then the rest. Her tail measures about 4 and ½ feet long from the base of her spine. On her shoulders she has a pair of wings, measuring 12 feet tip to tip when her wings are open fully.
Her neck is short, like a humans, but her head is fully dragonic. Long snout, sharp teeth denoting her as primary a carnivore, two horns coming off her hand and a small 'spike' on the tip of her snout and small fins on the side of her head, and silver eyes, slitted like most reptiles.
She also has 'hair' so to speak, it's not hair in the human sense as its really just strands of long flexible scales that act like hair, and it's one of the 'hold overs traits' from when she was human, the other being her breasts. She does have claws on her fingers and toes, of which she has 4 toes and the standard 4 fingers and thumb.
Her over all build is very fit with defined muscles (though hard to tell because of the scales) , as you would expect from some one who's had military training.
History:
Lucia was born as Donovan Vall in a mountain Kingdom called Alonia. It is a Kingdom covered in snow in the winter and lush greenery in the summer, great mountain forests and pristine hill side fields, cover the land with the occasional 'castle village' or town, but is far from peaceful. Alonia is besieged by a cult of Dragon worshipers that believe the ancient dragon that resides in Alonia's borders to be a god, as such the Kingdom has waged war against dragons for several century?s now. Dragon related problems aren't uncommon in other country?s, ancient or other wise, not are dragon worshiping cults, most have found a sort of middle ground with the more intelligent of the Dragons, Alonia how ever believes all dragons to be evil and has treated their war more like a holy crusade, and with so many of its neighbors having Draconic allies or even as members of the governing body, they closed their borders and took up a strict Isolationist policy.
Alonians stand as the best Dragon Slayers in the world, or so they claim, and it's not entirely untrue ether. Alonia forces never leave their country though believing that what ever hard ships or strife cause by dragons is the fault of those who 'fail to recognize Dragon for the demons they are.' Elitism runs thick in Alonia as well, especially with in the ranks of the nobility and military, many Nobles are from very long lines of Dragon Slayers, and while the country does have other beast that are of great threat, they are treated as more a nuisance, even going so far as to mock those who die to these beast as ' to weak to be of use'. Dieing to a Dragon is the only acceptable death in battle, anything else is considered a dishonor to the house of the one who died.
This is the world Donovan was born into, and like many raised in these conditions, he to sought to serve his country and slay the evil dragons that plagued their country and bring honor to his family. Donovan joined the Army soon as he could at 15, received his training and even earned some praise from a few officers for his over all ability. Praise, the son of a noble, thought should have been his by virtue of his status. For awhile nothing happened, Donovan and this young Noble didn't cross paths again for a few years. When they did, the Noble was horrified to find this 'commoner' out ranked him, worse, he was Donovan's subordination. The young Noble would not tolerate an insult like this, so he hatched a plan, gathered a few 'no account minions' to take all the blame. His plan was simple. Prevent Donovan from advancing further and even strip a few rights from him, by turning him into a her, as women in Alonia while are allowed to serve in the military and even as front line troops, their rolls and ranks among other things, are restricted, and Donovan would have had only two more ranks he'd be eligibility for if he suddenly became a woman. The plan to accomplish this was simple enough, spike his canteen with the potion and let thirst do the rest.
The plan worked, sort of. The fall guys where found out and caught, and Donovan did become a woman as was intended, but the higher up decided at the Court-marshal of the Nobles minions that Donovan would retain the rights of his original gender since it was very clear this forced gender change was done solely to hurt his career, and dishonor him. The Noble was beside him self with rage. NOW, he had to take orders from a low born woman, but with the authority?s keeping an eye on things he could make no moves for the time being. Donovan, now going by Lucia as she always liked that name, became rather cautious of those around her, equal parts 'knowing some one was gunning for her' and 'being a woman in the army'. Lucia barring the normal harassment for being a woman in the military, has four more years of 'quiet', service. The Noble has also transferred out of Lucia's unit and into a different division, but still harbored hate for Lucia, who's career by that point was outshining his own.
There was only one option left as the noble saw it. The division that he transferred to dealt mostly with dealing with the cultist and their foul magics. Recently due to Alonian countermeasures, the cultist had replaced a magic that temporally gave them the form of a dragon with one that made it a permanent change, while the Alonians had found out how the process worked, they didn't have a way to reverse it, and it seemed that such a cure wouldn't be possible given the nature of the transformation, and this ritual would be the instrument of his revenge for all the 'humiliation' he suffered.
Or it would have been had the fates not stepped in. Lucia and her whole unit had been dispatched to a remote section of of the eastern mountains. Report was there was a rather large spike in cultist activity there, orders were simple go in and kill the lot of them before they could enact where ever plan they had cooking. Lucia and her men swept the caves, and curious mountain ruins. Alonian scholars had no record of any one else having lived there besides them, and these ruins are where Lucia had her men focus. She doubted the cultist would just ignore the ruins, and she was right. They had found signs the cultists where up to something, that the intelligence officer in her squad said had to do with the 'dragon transformation' ritual they used, only on a much larger scale. Lucia sent a situation update back to her base commander while ordered her men to redouble the effort in scouring the ruins.
The search party Lucia was leading the group to find the chamber where the cultist where going to finish the ritual, which when Lucia and her squad entered the chamber they all knew what they where planning. The Dragon transformation ritual required the use of a special crystal to act as a catalyst, and the light that radiated from it was what caused the transformation. The crystal they found in this chamber was absolutely massive, it was clear the cultists where trying to end the century?s long war, by turning the people in the eastern part of in Alonia into one of them. If such a thing was to happen, they'd have the man power to finally take over. With no time to waste Lucia order her men to attack and threw her spear into the back of one cultist while she and her squad charged the rest. The battle was fierce, more so then usual encounters with the cultist where, normally it they would retreat when it became clear they wouldn't win, this time they simple pushed back harder.
Lucia cut her way toward the crystal, but it was much slower going then she wanted, so she did the one thing she could do, cut down the cultist in-front of her, pulled a bomb out of her pouch, lit it and threw it at the crystal in hopes of damaging the crystal beyond use. The bomb exploded, and the crystal was damaged severely, but it began to glow in an odd way, and blades of light slowly started to pour from the crystal. As the cultists fled, defeated, Lucia was in the process of ordering her men back, what ever was happening with the crystal she didn't what her men or her self caught in it. As her men with drew she kept an eye on the crystal, and as a new crack formed she quickly got over to one of her men and shoved him out of the way, of a new on coming blade of light. She thought she'd have time to get to safety her self, she did not. She was struck fully by the light. Before any one else had a chance to get any further, or even check on Lucia, the lights faded and the crystal collapsed for the fractures.
With the Crystal destroyed the squads attention turned toward it's leader, who was on her hands and knees from the sheer pain of the magics at work in her body. Before her squads eyes, their leader, and friend, slowly changed into a human/dragon hybrid, the emergence of her wings, and tail destroying her armor, the claws on her hands and feet shredding her gloves and boots as her new horns throw the helm from her head. After what was only a few minutes, but felt like an eternity, Lucia's transformation was complete. She panted, she hurt all over, and above all, she was confused, her men where confused as well, as the dragon before them was not the same as the dragons among the cultists ranks, even in their own experiments, with the ritual and potential methods of reversing it, the change always left the victim as a Black Dragon. Lucia had transformed into a shimming sapphire colored dragon, not only that, Dona's new form had an air of nobility to it, something the more bestial Black Dragons lacked.
Lucia's first and second orders where to report this to base immediately, and hand command of her squad, and unit as a whole to her second. Her return to base was met about how she thought it'd be, but the General had already ordered no harm to come to her, not yet anyway. The site with the giant crystal, as well as Lucia her self where investigated, the crystal it self was a total loss while Lucia her self was found to have no trace of any of the mind control magics found in those who had been transformed into dragons, in fact she seemed resistant to them.
Which sparked a great debate as to what to do with her, no way existed to undo the transformation and restore her to human, but she was no more in danger of becoming a thrall to the cultist as any other solider seemingly due to the type of dragon she was which many saw as potentially useful, there was also the fact that she'd likely saved the kingdom on the whole to consider, as well as her service record on the whole. Naturally, there where those who didn't care, she was a dragon, and all dragons needed to be destroyed, the very thought of letting her live was ludicrous, these people, lead by the father of the same noble that hated Lucia to begin with, said it was only a matter of time before she turned on them and she should submit to execution to redeem her self for the 'sin' of becoming a dragon.
During all this, Lucia her self resigned her self to her family?s cabin. But even there she could feel the pubic opinion weighing on her, as both her parents and her siblings seemed less then thrilled she was back in the form she was in. It took two months for the governing body to decide what to do with her, two months of people who where her friends, people she cared for, even comrades in arms, men and women she'd fought shoulder to shoulder with, bled for, shunning her. Nothing about her had changed expect how she looked, she was other wise the same person as before, just different looking now, and as much as it hurt to have every turning on her, it angered her even more. She'd fought and bled for homeland, buried friends who had died for it, and saved the kingdom, and this was her reward? The final straw was when her father said it'd have been better if she'd died in battle, and her mother wordlessly agreeing with him. When the summons for the hearing to decide her fate came, the messenger didn't find her at her family's cabin. Her family didn't know where she was ether, as she'd been there the night before when every one went to bed and had actually gone to sleep first.
It didn't take long to find her, or rather, where she'd gone, reports of a 'shiny blue dragon' had start coming in, and all reports said it had been heading south, The last report on her whereabouts was from a guard at the border saying she had been flying to the south.
