A project which caused a lot of trouble but i am happy to have it finaly!

Drawn by the awesome  Talkis with a lot of help from my friends!

It starts kind of dark, as she hatched under her Mothers wing, her parents died to some attackers which wanted to sell rare dragon materials, but her mother saved her egg, which has been basically her last will.
She did stay at her home until she got found by a guy which found her weak and hungry.
He basically saved her by picking her up, feeding her and taking care of her, but after they came near a town she got scared and did run away.
Starting to wander around, trying to survive, and growing slowly.
She found out pretty fast that she wasn´t a good hunter, catching something was often more luck based then everything else! But stealing food from others actually was pretty easy often! So, she started to lure around trading routes, where people camped, and cooked. A perfect oppotunity to get some prepared food! It almost worked every time. Even if she got caught, people thought she is cute and gave her something, after all seeing a young dragon running around was not something you see every day! Sadly, that changed as she did grow. People did not see the cute hatchling anymore, they did see a dragon, and even if she was small, some people were afraid of dragons, so it happened that she got caught by a hunter someday after it got known that she lurks around at that route and a bounty ended up on her. She got sold to a circus where she got caged.
They wanted to teach her tricks for the circus but they noticed that was kind of impossible, since she was afraid of them and simply rather did hide then doing things with them.
So, she ended up in a caged so others could watch her, bringing at least some money back to them after the immense price they payed for her! Even if they took good care of her and did not have much bad in intention for her it was herself which has been scared about them, and laying in the cage where she had no opportunity to do anything broke her so much that she just did lay around the entire day and even mostly stopped eating!
But exactly that gave her a opportunity to flee as at some evening as someone came inside her "cage" he just wanted to bring new water and check if everything is ok with her since she just was laying there for days, but as she noticed that the door was left open she slowly did stand up, and watched at the open door.
Staying up that guy did notice her and started to groom her as he was done doing his things in the cage, being a bit older now, she developed her icy breath she did not know about yet. Giving her a kiss as he was done, she presses her snout on him which he enjoys for a few moments until he realizes what’s going on. Using her pure instinct, she uses her icy fog and breaths it directly into his mouth, freezing his neck and lungs, which gives her a opportunity to flee.
Sadly, they noticed that as the dogs started to barf, but she managed it to get into the air for the first time and to fly a little streak, to a near forest.
She escaped! But she crashed on the ground since it was her first flight and she had not much endurance after not eating much for a while! Problem was she broke herself a leg with that hard landing.
Hiding at a little river, or almost swamp she was in trouble, getting food was almost impossible with her leg, and she wasn´t a good hunter anyways!
But after a day someone found her, a calm guy which has been quite amazed about what he just found there! But he noticed pretty fast that she did not want him near her, that she was afraid and that her hissing at him was meant serious. But he noticed as well that she needed help, so he did bring her some food at the next day and simply did lay it on a stone near her, she did not eat it until he was gone, but as he did come again at the next day and noticed that she did eat it. So, he did that again, coming almost every day, bringing her something, and sitting there at his stone, meditating, and sometimes even humming some songs. Simply watching her, at some point she started to trust him more and more and he was able to lure her with food to him in the end, and she did finaly allow him to touch her.
In the end those 2 are getting really good friends and they are going on some adventures, which changes her completely, from a scared little thing into a young dragon which enjoys the world after learning how it is having such a friend.
At this point she is a pretty silly dragon, he had to endure a lot of tricks from her or even if he tried to meditate, she often started to act like a cuddly cat, just like 1,45m big!
But years later it happens that the friend she loves so much getting attacked, usually she did avoid fights, but since it´s one of her friends which is getting attacked she try’s to safe him and fights for him, but sadly gets injured. Loosing most of her eyesight and a leg in the progress. BUT still, beeing super happy about what happened she is proud that she managed to safe him and wears those wounds like a trophy, because she protected what she loved.
---
Getting older she meets other dragons at some point and it happens that she goes back to the mountains she was born with some of them, and even having some hatchlings with one of them at somepoint.
Making her a proud protective mother which takes a lot of care for her little ones.

OF course there is a lot more behind it but this is just a summary! The twist in my head was that there is one friend which can change your entire life to something better even if times have been hard. After all beeing a good friends means going through good and bad times together!
