Scalemother
The Great Mother, The Golden, The One Above
Scales glinting in the light, a sharp intelligence in reptile eyes, the Scalemother embodies virtue and maternal guidance. The gargantuan Gold Dragon has lived for so long, the years mean nothing anymore. Instead, she turns to her people, nurturing them, guiding them, loving them as they carve their own paths in the world.
And the Scalemother watches, a golden shimmer on the horizon, regarding the Young with a fond affection.

Physical Description
General Physical Condition
Flare has described her as old and frail due to age to the party. That was fundamentally incorrect. Flare had not met her before their journey home with the Party, and was under the impression that once a Dragon gets past Ancient age, they start to decline, like humans do.
Instead, the Scalemother's power only grows. Now that she is cured of the parasitic curse, she may spread her wings once more.

Body Features
The Scalemother actually shifts her body smaller to even fit into her lair. In truth, she is a Mountain of gold and fire, wings large enough to cast shadow over an entire town.
Mental characteristics
Personal history
Even though her hatchlinghood is millenia past her, The Scalemother's memory is crystal clear. She rarely talks about her younger days, though many of her followers theorize she may have been born in the wake of Bahamut's emergence, at the dawn of their race.
She has watched over The Badlands Dragons for the better part of history, many metallic Dragons being direct descendants of hers.
In more recent history, The Scalemother was gravely wounded by an unknown sílean foe, forcing her followers to surrender to them, out of love and fear for her life. She was the anchor for the Flesh Dimension , suffering in silence until the Party found and saved her life. She has liberated her people from the Sílean's magical yoke as soon as she was back to full strength and is now considered an ally of Ya'rin.

Gender Identity
Like all Dragons, the Scalemother may change her physical sex at any given time, but she seems rather form in her role as Mother.
Intellectual Characteristics
The Scalemother holds the wisdom of her years, in addition to a great wealth of knowledge on a plethora of topics ranging from the magical to the historical. Aside from her regular hoard of gold that was plundered, she possesses the largest library outside of the Astralarium .
Morality & Philosophy
Community is her biggest ideal. She believes in looking out for her fellow Dragons, but also others. Once she was rescued and freed her people, she guaranteed the Ya'rinites her unconditional support. Honor and compassion, as well as humility and kindness. She does not demand worship and tends to approach others on eye-level - metaphorically, of course.
Personality Characteristics
Motivation
Keeping her people safe and healthy.
Social
Religious Views
She acknowledges the Platinum Dragon, but does not worship him as many Metallics do. She also acknowledges the deityhood of Tiamat but seems to speak of her like a peer.
