For an example tho, here's my OC Otavia. :]



Species: Autumn Fairy

Age: Fairies are youthful in appearance despite being able to seem hundreds of years old

Background: Otavia was born from a pile of fallen leaves in an isolated fairy circle long ago. She had made some clothes and a home of her own in the deep forest, keeping autumn alive for as long as she could around her, before she recognized the balance of nature. She then shut herself in for winter like many of the other creatures of the forest who hibernate. But she also took the time to venture out and recover the things around the forest, such as twigs, icicles, fur and cobwebs. During her hibernation period, she thought long and hard about her surroundings and learnt all that she could over the years. Eventually, as time passed, she gained more knowledge, and developed her powers. She would interact with the other fairies of the forest, but many saw her as a strange hermit and had no intention of making her a part of their community. Dejected and disappointed in her treatment by the other fairies, Otavia became more isolated and devoted her time into the studies of magic. She became obsessed with the laws of alchemy and sorcery and during this newfound interest, she conducted experiments on herself. Since she didn’t have any willing test subjects, she would use herself to test her hypothesis. Unfortunately during one of her experiments, she had fused her legs with those of a spider. Now her legs are brown, hairy and striped, with a small heel and forked toe. She tried to hide her legs with lovely long dresses and skirts, but she couldn’t hide her dark secret for long. Since the experiment, she hasn’t been able to get back her normal legs, leaving her looking freakish and resulting in the fairies scorning and fearing her. One day during a rainstorm in spring, Otavia was chased away by a mob of fairies and exiled from her home. She fled to a forest on the other side of the mountains and stood there for many years, conducting her experiments and filling her time with leisurely and peaceful activities. She would make clothes, fly around the forest and greet the many animals that live there, and scavenge for small human made objects.

(Her connection with Crimson, a fire dragon)

From the mountainside forest, Otavia spotted a large fire consuming the forest that was once her home. Worried, she quickly flew to the burning forest, only to find that many of the fairies had fled. However, she found that the source of the fire came from a fearsome dragon that was trying to fend off knights that were attacking it near its habitat. Otavia was about to aid the knights when she saw that the dragon was guarding its two younglings. She then swooped in to help chase the knights away with her magic, but it wasn’t enough and the mother dragon was slain, along with the two younglings. The knights then brought their corpses away with them and retreated the burning forest. Otavia flew after them to get them to stop but suddenly heard a small cry of distress. She decided to abandon her pursuit of the knights and follow the cries into the burning forest. That’s when she spotted a small orange creature in the distance. It was a small baby dragon, possibly a third youngling that may have wandered off from his family. Otavia used her magic to quickly carry the small dragon to some rocky caves and away from the burning forest. While there, she calmed the orphaned baby and managed to create a bond with him, naming him Crimson, for the red streak down his forehead and back. She guided him back to her home in the mountains and took care of him.
