STRENGTHS

[ Due to their very human upbringing, they blend in with human society easily. Due to this they're not well-versed in dragon tendencies or nature. ]

[ Despite their small stature they are quite strong and don't mind giving a hand with heavy lifting as long as you send them in the right direction. ]

[ Becoming blind has led to some unexpected benefits and they are far more alert to their surroundings through their hearing and sense of smell leading them to notice the little things a sighted person may miss. ]

WEAKNESS

[Unfamiliar areas take a long time to get used to and often leads them to getting lost. They usually rely on a guide in these cases but if none are available they slowly fumble their way around.]

[ Due to their general shared coldness towards others making friends has been hard and making enemies has never been easier.]

[ Sentou has a hard time staying in dragon form for any extended periods time. Not a magical weakness but rather a mental fear that if he's seen someone is going to take him away to fight for his life again.]

[ Easily frustrated and often gets in a fit over themselves in situations where multiple of the personalities would like to participate in a situation which can also lead to sudden personality switches. ]

Sentou grew up in a small clan away from the traditional lives of men and dragons. In the clan culture and tradition was held to the highest of standards. Where the young of dragons were stolen from their families at a young age and forced to do back-breaking work during the day and put into fighting rings during the night where they were bet on like animals. From a young age, Sentou's dragon form made him a prime candidate for this and was taken away from the field work to be trained to fight.

Merits in life were branded with painful tattoos made of inks and perhaps something else that burned where applied and didn't heal for months. Sentou was a popular candidate for this being a favorite of the crowds and a frequent winner. These were also given so that when outside doing work he would blend in better as a normal clan human.

A few years passed and not knowing any better Sentou had become used to the life, believing it to be normal life until another dragon was brought in. More wild than any others but also near his age. Soon they got to talking and he learned about the outside world and everything it could be. He decided he wanted to see it, and the other dragon promised that she would find a way out and they could see it together someday.

But such things and life were not kind, and Sentou having been winning his whole life was about to learn the cruelty of the world. In a match against an older and more experienced dragon, in his childish arrogance Sentou lost the fight and his eyes were burned by a painful acid. The humans tried their best to save him and while they were able to keep him alive, he lost his sight, the world turning black until he could see nothing at all. No light, no color, nothing.

After this tragedy Sentou became devastated knowing he would never see the world through his eyes and from that day fought his captors and refused to go into any more battles, fearing any more pain or debilitating injuries such as losing sight or perhaps worse, his life.

He was soon told by the humans that he was an abomination when before they had sung his praises, destined to fail and die in the rings as a useless animal. One night it became too much and when the handlers came to take them away, with a swipe of his claws he snuffed out their life, leaving them in pieces on the ground and then with directions from the other dragon freed her and they made off into the night. He thought that, after this he might be able to live in peace at last.

He was brought to a place that the other dragon called a city and was taught to live and speak like a human. At first he was treated like fragile glass until he proved to her he was stronger and quickly caught onto human customs and learned to navigate the streets using his hearing and sense of smell to help him along with a cane she had given him to assess his surroundings.

Soon he became familiar and his surroundings became a familiar haven despite his lack of sight and he learned to see in other ways and came to know both the world's beauty but also its ugliness, though he never found anything again like the slavery he went through as a child, Sentou found a relative peace in doing work that might help others get through their day to day life. Things he never had and so throughout the years he'd chosen jobs where he could make a small difference in doing modelling for the moment and though it brings him little joy he is content with his life.

Dissociative Identity Disorder (Split Personality)
They have 4 distinct personalities and they each have a set schedule on when each has control of the body. Otherwise the personalities might come to the front based on a trigger that one of them is best suited to dealing with.

Memories
Tousen, Elyrion and Lena have no childhood memories and this is known by Sentou only. Lena also does not get along with Tousen or Elyrion.

Emotion
Depending on the personality in control they may either wear their emotions on their sleeve or have a very emotionless demeanor.

Footwear
They hate wearing shoes and whenever possible will walk around everywhere barefoot. Lena is the only one who enjoys wearing classy shoes or boots depending on the occasion.

Blood
They enjoy the taste of it. Likely a side effect from working in rings as a child.

Reading
Enjoys a good book but tends to have a hard time finding or getting their hands on braille books.

Work
Throughout the years they've spent a great deal of time among humans, due to this they've worked in several fields from dancing, to singing and most currently to modelling which helps keep their mind sharp.

Dragon Form
If Sentou "wakes up" or takes control while in dragon form this will send him into a panic attack. He associates his dragon form with the fighting ring. He also fears other dragons.

Breeze
Sentou, Elyion and Tousen almost always have a breeze around them and often don't need their walking stick. They use their magic for wind as a breeze to tell where things are like echolocation.
