Description

New reference found here:  The Flame Empress - Wylla of the Wysps

Name: Wylla
Gender: Female
Age:  Old as Dirt
Species:  Great Wysp

Top Left - Regular Wylla.  She likes to drape her wings on her back like a cape.
Top Right - Her outer wing design.  It varies greatly from the inner wing design, but most don't wish to see her inner wings.
Bottom Left - Wylla's Markings.
Bottom Right - Wylla's Winter Coat.  She grows a larger mane in the winter.

Bio:  Wylla is technically the last of her kind.  She's a Great Wysp, an offshoot and predecessor species to the present day's Wysp.  

Great Wysps have extremely long lifespans and rarely reproduce.

Of course, being of this species Wylla is easily the largest breezie in the grotto.  She towers over even Hardstone and Noodle himself.  Of course, she's also the most dangerous breezie in the grotto.  

Great Wysps were the leftovers of the beginning of the grotto when many of the breezies still had many enemies inside the grotto and had to defend themselves.  If you were to see Wylla grin you'd see her maw of fangs she keeps hidden.  To add on to this she does possess the uncanny ability to light things on fire with a mere glance.  (An ancient version of the Fire-Starter trait.)  

Wylla herself is the embodiment of entitlement.  Nowadays she does not go out of her way for things.  If something needs to get done then she'll do it, but not until her servants carry her there.  She refuses to fly under her own power.  Of course this is kind of due to the fact that when she opens her wings not only is the underside intimidating and made to make her look even larger than she is, but a great cloud of dust flies off them with every flap, causing it to look like smoke.  

It's really just a mess for everyone.  Especially for herself.  I mean, just look at that coat.  We don't want to ruin that.

Wylla is very prideful in herself and her looks.  If you want to get on her good side then flattery will get you everything.  That and a present goes a long way as well.  Most of her power over her people and the grotto comes from her mere intimidation factor.  The wysps keep her in office because she gives them a feeling of power.  Kind of like, "Hey, our ruler can beat up your ruler(s)".  It gives a safe feeling.

And Wylla is very protective of her people.  She sides with them 99% of the time and it takes a LOT of convincing to change her mind once it's set.

Despite this Wylla does have a temper.  If she's been pissed off then it's best for everyone to just...run.  The only one who can deal with her at that point is Madam Glacier.

With stories like that of the Mad King it's suspected that Wylla does have some trauma from past events.  She doesn't take well to certain words and does have a disdain for many Terrans.  Not to say she can't control herself, but there are many in the grotto, even Wysps, who fear that one day she might snap.

That is where the head advisor comes in.  Madam Glacier is the current head advisor and it's her job to not only serve the queen to but keep her calm and not burning everything down.

Throughout the grotto many wish that Wylla would get married.  Maybe then she'd settle down if she had a kid of her own.  That being said some of her advisors do try to set up dates for her, which normally end pretty badly.

Wylla herself doesn't want to find a suitor.  The most popular speculation is that she doesn't want to give up her queendom.

But.....

She's scared.  

Wylla does not want to love someone who will die before her. 

And she'd be damned if she had to go through something like that again...

Wylla knows exactly what's going on, and what she's doing.  But her pride and her people are the only things keeping her together, and she won't give either one up.




Wysps are a closed species of mine.
