Welcome to the Lair of Faeclan

Belladonna is the solitary matriarch of our clan, known for being unfriendly to strangers and standoffish to friends. She may not be very sociable but she loves her clan with a ferocity that can only be matched by the violence of nature.

Bella's life started with her being abandoned as a hatchling, the runt of her clutch. She doesn't remember watching her mother and clutchmates fly away, but she remembers the weeks of hunger that followed. She tried to hunt and feed herself but found little success. She was almost dead when she was found by Harbinger, also a lone hatchling, but far bigger and stronger than she was. He brought her food and, when she had regained her strength, tried to teach her how to hunt. Once she was able to care for herself she tried to loose Harbinger several times, offput by his overly friendly nature and preferring to be alone. But he always managed to find her, and eventually she gave into his assertions that they were now family. The two have been inseparable ever since.

As the two dragons grew in both size and strength they established a lair of their own and started attracting other cast off dragons, the beginnings of their clan. For a time the clan was growing and thriving in their mountaintop lair, but then a great natural disaster forced them out of the lair they had called home. For years the clan traveled, barely able to scrape together enough resources to keep them going. During these dark years Belladonna's leadership and cunning saved her clan from elimination time and again, reaffirming the clans unwavering loyalty to her. These years of hardship went on so long that the clan started to lose hope that they would ever find a place for them again, but it was Bella who found their new lair, a hidden grove in the Gladekeeper's lands.

Now the clan is thriving again. Bella watches new dragons arrive and new babies hatching and knows that she lead her clan, her family, to a place they can live in peace for as long as possible. She has retreated from leadership, letting her daughter Ironside take on the role of clan leader and spending her days lounging in the sun on the rocky outcrop just outside the small cave she sleeps in. She still stays mostly apart from the rest of the clan, preferring her own company, but will come down occasionally to spend time with her fellow elders or meet the new hatchlings. She is respected and honoured by her clanmates, and the younger generation listens with awe to the stories of how she lead the clan through their years of hardship. Belladonna, who's first moments were spent abandoned by her family, has a new family now and she will continue to watch over them until the end of her days.

Bella was my first dragon oc, and when i joined fr she was the first dragon i created for my clan. she's been with me for much longer than her 9 years on fr, but i use that as her birthday bc it's fun to keep track of that way :p i'm hoping to find an old drawing i did of her soon and post it here!

Though Harbinger is one of the main defenders of the clan and is known for being ruthless on the battlefield, when he isn't ensuring the safety of his family he is one of the friendliest and kindest dragons in the clan. He is one of the oldest members, along with Belladonna, who built the clan and has provided for them for years.

As a hatchling Harbinger was left behind by his nomadic mother when he found a small, dying hatchling in the woods and refused to leave her. Belladonna was weak and sick, having been abandoned by her own mother. He was able to kill small rodents and bring them to her, slowly nursing her back to health. Once she had regained her strength she tried to leave him several times, but Harbinger knew that they were meant to be family and found her each time. He tried to teach her to hunt but she couldn't match his size and strength, so his hunting strategies didn't work for her. She tried to teach him to sneak and ambush, but he was too big and loud. Eventually they figured out how to play to each other's strengths and formed a strong hunting group, Harbinger driving their prey towards where Bella was hiding in wait. Like this they eked out a life for years.

Eventually they got big enough that they could establish their own lair, a small cave in the face of a windswept cliffs. Gradually more dragons flocked to them, eggs were laid and children were raised and the clan grew to the kind of family Harbinger always wanted. And then came the disaster.

It started with normal rains, but they didn't stop. The rains increased, the winds blew harder, and the caves started to flood. The clan couldn't stay there safely. They left, flying off into the rain and wind. It was heartbreaking to leave those cozy caves and the homes they had made, but the safety of the clan required it. They traveled for years, trying to find a new place to live and make their homes again. It was the bad times, the hungry and exhausting times. They found themselves eventually in a lush forest, and Harbinger hoped they could find a place to stay there. It was beautiful and smelled of loam and flowers. They had stopped for a rest when Belladonna snuck off, which was normal for her. She was exhausted from leading their clan across the entire continent and liked to be alone. Harbinger let her go and checked on the rest of the clan, making sure they were all doing okay after a day of hard flying. He expected to not see her till the morning as usual, but a few hours later he spotted her flying towards him. She landed a few feet away from the rest of the clan, made eye contact with Harbinger and nodded slowly. They took off together, and she lead him to the hidden grove she found.

It was beautiful, it was secluded, it was the perfect home. They ushered the rest of the clan into the caves Bella went through to find the grove, and the clan rejoiced that they could finally rest and settle into a place that seemed so perfectly made for them.

Now Harbinger trains the youngest clan members, cares for the hatchlings, spends time with his oldest friends. He visits Bella in her private cave every day, brings her food and cares for her like they were children again. She laughs at him, reminds him that they're both grown and she can care for herself, and he ignores her. They live in a clan full of love and care and it's all Harbinger had ever wanted.

Harbie is my second dragon oc! i created him and bella around the same time because i wanted to draw a dragon with more cool horns lol and bella's design is very sleek. i don't really imagine them as romantically involved, tbh in my mind dragons have a different approach to relationships than we do. Bella and Harbie are best friends, kindred spirits, forever bonded, and also they have had a few clutches of eggs together. but there's no sense of romance in the traditional, human understanding of it. Harbie is the friendly to Bella's mean, and i love them both so much!

Guardian showed up near our lair one day and, though no one outright said he could stay, he seems to have decided that he can. He keeps to himself mostly, only mingling with the other dragons very occasionally. The rest of the time he spends sitting on the highest ground of our territory, a ways away from the rest of the clan, walking around the borders of the territory or, occasionally, leaving altogether. It isn't unusual that the other dragons won't see claw nor scale of him for multiple days on end. It's because of this that none of the other dragons seem to know much about him, other than that he is very battle scarred and blind in one eye as a result. He seems to gain new scars every few days, and won't elaborate on where they came from.

Though Belladonna and Harbinger are, more often than not, mates, and Belladonna is the alpha female of the clan, most of the clan have come to respect Guardian as the alpha male.

Guardian is the third high school oc in the clan. He's supposed to be older than Bella and Harbie, but because of how fr works he's technically younger, but we can imagine lmao. He's scarred from many battles and quite agressive. He's probably got the most traditionally 'dragon' personality of the bunch.

Despite her rough appearance Aqua is a kind and loving dragon who cares deeply for her friends. When she isn't fishing and finding undersea treasure she loves to have deep, meaningful conversations with her clanmates. She is known to help dragons through difficult times, talking with them and convincing them to get deeper into their emotions and troubles.

Aqua is the last of my high school oc dragons and the most recent addition to my clan. Aqua has always been a water dragon and it took fr a while to come out with a dragon species that fit her. but when i logged back in a few years ago to find that they had released undertide dragons i set about trying to find/breed the perfect Aquamarine. i was working on breeding her with very little success and then one day i was searching for dragons to use to get the right genes and just happened to find the ideal dragon to be her. gods bless.

Ironside was one of the first children born to the clan. She grew up in their old lair and her favourite activity was to fly around the open air that surrounded their caves, dodging cliffs and tucking her wings in for steep drops before pulling out of them at the last minute. She was known for being reckless and perhaps a little foolish as a youngling, often earning her mother's annoyance as much as her father's laughter.

When her clan was forced to leave their home, however, Ironside took on much more responsibility. While her family traversed the wilds she defended them from lurking beasts and brought back what food she could. Her acrobatic flying turned to scouting ahead and she channelled her reckless energy into keeping her clan safe and fed. She and her mother grew much closer over this time, Belladonna's trust in her daughter growing as Ironside began to understand and respect the role of clan leader that her mother had been in her whole life.

It is not too surprising then that, once the long journey was over and Bella decided to step down from clan leader, she passed the title to her daughter. The rest of the clan already trusted and respected Ironside and Bella knew her daughter was entirely capable. The only dragon anxious about her ability to be clan leader was Ironside herself.

Since the switch of power, however, Ironside has proved herself as a good and fair leader. She is still seen often asking her mother for guidance as she adjusts to her new role, but her decision making is sound and her care for her clan shows through her every act. And sometimes, when it gets to be too much, Ironside is still known to take to the sky for an hour or two, flying blindingly fast and absurdly high, enjoying the feeling of being utterly free.

Ironside is one of the first lore dragons to be born to my fr clan. i decided when i logged back into fr after a few years i decided that Bella would step down as leader, because tbh i don't think she would enjoy the responsibilities of leadership, and i thought it would be a good storyline to have Ironside take over that responsibility. idk i really like Ironside as a character! i think she's fun

Athame came to the clan as an infant, growing up alongside the first generation of hatchlings. She had been abandoned and was found by Harbinger while out on a hunting trip. She had reminded him of his own infanthood scraping for survival, and he had brought her home to join his own clutch of newly hatched babies.

Athame and Ironside grew up nearly inseparable, loving each other as sisters. They encouraged each other while skylarking to greater risks and faster falls, and would always cover for each other when one of them was in trouble. The two of them were the troublemakers of the clan for years, until the clan journey.

When Ironside stepped up during their years of trouble at first Athame bristled, worried her best friend was growing out of her. She eventually realized that Ironside was just trying to keep their clan safe and fed, however, and though she complained about the extra responsibility she started going on excursions with Ironside, the two of them ensuring that the clan thrived as well as they could without a solid home. And by the time they found their home she had proved herself as a provider.

When Belladonna stepped down as leader Ironside asked Athame to be her second. Athame hadn't been expecting that and nearly turned down the offer, sure that Bella wouldn't approve. She turned to look at her foster mother, anticipating a disproving eye, but Bella simply held her gaze for a moment before nodding. And Athame accepted the job.

i think there's a lot of potential in Ironside and Athame's relationship... i think that they have one of those stereotypical lesbian co-dependant female friendships that either develops into something else or burns down in a fire... only time will tell i guess. Athame is maybe my most traditionally pretty dragon. like, she's already vain, but tbh i think she has good reason to be lol

Feather is a young, small dragon who has taken a strong likeness to collecting, sorting and growing herbs for their potions. They work closely with Acacia and Gryffon as the elder gardener and magic worker in the clan, but they aren't necessarily interested in following directly in either of their footsteps. Their herbal work and potion making are a hobby, and their real purpose in the clan is caring for the nesting and nursing dragons and their young. They love playing with and teaching the younglings, and bring many fortifying brews to parents who can't leave their nests.

Feather is my dragonsona and I love them!! she was my first ever big breeding project and when i finally got her it was so exciting that i imediatley started on a new breeding project which is going... not as good lmao but yknow i'm getting there. Feather's bio on site is where i keep track of my breeding project status, which is info that just makes sense to me tbh but yknow, i need to put it some place lol
