Princess Ruzika of Kandrazaal

Yes, I AM a real princess -- but not only that; I'm a DRAGON princess. I just wear the shape of a wight so that I don't take up so much room. You know how awkward it is to be a full-size dragon, even a small full-size dragon, in a society meant for humans or wights or dwarfs? Besides, I'm not supposed to let anyone know that I'm a dragon...

...oops. Forget I said that, willya?"

The second youngest, and probably the spunkiest, of the Dragon King's fifteen children, Ruzika is still in her Hotblood years and the self-declared "fastest dragon in Kandrazaal" and at the time of the story on her coming-of-age journey -- for a period of no less than one thousand days, she must go out in the world and make her own way, without any sort of aid from or contact with her family.

In personality, Ruzika is very much a bright-but-hyper teenager: really intelligent, but easily distracted and not very good at thinking things through. Like many young dragons she's self-assured to the point of borderline arrogance; she knows she's powerful and takes it for granted that she can handle everything life throws at her. Which is why she tends to leap before anyone else has even thought about looking.
