Fiction:The Firmament/Filonan Aerember

Filonan Aerember is an ashen elf native to Dragonsthrone, the capital of Eryliana. One of the nation's most notable warriors and one of the best dragonriders in the history of the Ashen, Filonan has proven multiple times through her military life that she possess both a will of iron and a heart of gold, dedicating her life to protecting her people atop her mount, the fire drake Daggis.

Early Life
Filonan is the oldest daughter of Senin and Yacha Aerember, coming from a family of elves who all served the military to some extent, with her father being a rather successful mage himself. Since her childhood, Filonan had a fascination with dragons, especially the flame wyrms and their tremendous fire abilities, and always dreamed to one day become a member of the Drakerider Legion of Dragonsthrone. At the age of 5, she got a little sister in Liaisa Aerember, and the two were noted to be a pair of scamps since their early days. As she became a teenager, through intense training and study, she received an opportunity to join the Drakerider Legion like she wanted so much at the age of 17.

Filonan's early years in the Legion were marked with failure and clumsiness, as her eagerness made her incapable to properly ride fire drakes. As time passed, however, Filonan managed to tame a drake she would later name Daggis, which would become her mount for the rest of her life. Having regained her confidence by taming Daggis, Filonan proved herself to be one of the most adept soldiers in the Legion by emerging victorious against the likes of criminals and monsters alike, including other fire drakes from the wilderness.

As time passed, however, she discovered the acting captain of the Legion was in fact a vampire who victimized the Legion's younger members, and after uncovering him to the public, she fought and slayed him by thrusting her spear through both his heart and the heart of his drake mount at the same time. Shortly after, Filonan was given the title of captain, becoming the ultimate leader of the order she worked so hard to be a part of.

Features
Filonan is a tall ashen elf woman with light brown skin, long silver hair and white eyes. She is often noted for her great beauty, and is usually seen wearing armor which holds in it the tabard of the Drakerider Legion, which is decorated with commendations she has received over the years. Like most of her order, she fights with a spear, as any other weapon would be too short to wield while fighting on a fire drake. She holds no religious allegiance, never seeing the time to dedicate herself to the gods.

Filonan is a stern individual who sees the world with a tactical and focused mind first and foremost. She expects the best of those she works with, but also possesses a very strong sense of righteousness, being willing to put herself in danger to defend those she hold dear. Despite her strong and militaristic attitude, she loses her cool when commented on her appearance, becoming far more shy and often demanding a change of subject at once.

Filonan's mount, Daggis, is a particularly foul-tempered fire drake who, like most tamed drakes of the Fyasan, possesses smoother scales on his back than his wild cousins in order to accommodate for elven saddles. Filonan is the only elf who has ever managed to tame Daggis, for all others who tried before failed miserably. The creature displays immense loyalty for her, even allowing others to ride him should Filonan request it. Daggis is fluent in both Draconic and Elven, but generally only speaks when he wishes to insult others.
