Childhood & Family
Derpy's earliest memories are of being summoned by her master, a young sorcerer with a penchant for power, control, and deception. Initially skeptical of her new role as a familiar, Derpy quickly proved herself to be a capable and dedicated assistant. Avren recognized her intelligence and skill, and quickly began teaching her the intricacies of magic and the art of sorcery. As a familiar, Derpy was forced to adapt to her master's chaotic and flexible ideals even as she began to develop her own sense of identity. She learned to be resourceful, quick-witted, and independent, traits that have stayed with her throughout her life. She also learned the importance of loyalty and obedience, even when her master's commands seemed at odds with her own sense of morality.
Motivations & Goals
Derpy's biggest motivation is to protect her master at all costs. As a familiar, she sees herself as an extension of her master's will, and she will stop at nothing to ensure their safety. Being a familiar is a unique and challenging experience. On the one hand, Derpy is bound to the will of her master and must fulfill his commands above all else. On the other hand, she has her own desires and aspirations that she must balance with her duty to her master. It can be a delicate balancing act, but one that she must navigate in order to be effective in her role. Regardless, Derpy is also driven by a desire to be acknowledged for her hard work and contributions. She is not content with just being a mindless servant but instead wants to be recognized as an equal partner.
Morals & Ethics
Derpy has a strong sense of morality, driven by her belief in loyalty, honesty, and justice. She has a strong aversion to deception and will not hesitate to call out anyone who lies or acts dishonestly. At the same time, she understands the importance of diplomacy and tact, and she will always try to find a peaceful resolution before resorting to violence.
Personality
Derpy is quick to take charge in any situation. She is a confident and assertive bird, not afraid to speak her mind or challenge authority when necessary. However, she is mindful of her limitations, and she will always carefully consider her options before taking action. Derpy is also fiercely independent and values her freedom above all else. She can sometimes be stubborn and resistant to change, but once she sets her mind on a goal, she will pursue it with unwavering determination.
Flaws
Derpy's biggest flaw is her tendency to be overprotective of her master. While this is certainly a noble trait, it can sometimes lead her to be reckless or even self-destructive. She can also be fiercely territorial, becoming aggressive towards anyone she perceives as a threat to her master or her own independence. Finally, Derpy can be overly critical of others, sometimes judging them harshly for even minor mistakes.Improved Familiar (Faerie Dragon)
Incantation
Twist and twirl, feather and scale,
In candle's glow and moonlight pale.
Through pentagram's embrace, let magic swell,
From thrush to faerie dragon, by this spell.
Chalk encircles, silver binds,
In whispered winds and twisted minds.
With breath of flame, and iron's might,
Transform under the cloak of night.
By the pact of old, by the wild arcane,
Shed thy form, emerge again.
From beak to snout, from claw to wing,
Rise anew, and let magic sing!
From thrush to faerie dragon, by this spell."
