	Drakes were created to exist as servitors for dragons, free from the terror of a meaningless existence. Gifted with life, she only had to pay with the honor of serving her masters, beings fundamentally greater than her. More perfect, with vision and might beyond her ability fathom. By serving the small role of her life, she would help bring about a greater world.		Drakes were created to exist as servitors for dragons, free from the terror of a meaningless existence.

	"They aren't better than me."		"They aren't better than me."

	Far from matching the presence of Lofwyr, whom she had seen on treasured occasions, many of the dragons she worked with and often under, were... lesser. While these dragons were generally competent and at times wise, incidents grew where she surpassed their work, her magical power and drive exceeding those she idolized. With their lesser performances, they were rewarded with power and wealth. Marika's treatment in contrast, varied the status of a cherished working dog, and that of a tool little better than a slave. As the contradictions grew, the ideals she followed started to chip. A new emotion, resentment, started to follow.

	The station she had blindly accepted in life, the degrading tasks, the groveling, the submission and lack of respect. It all started to gall. The life she lived, once everything to her, had now become hollow. But now the question is, what else is there? What else can she be?

			* She's very confident and has a somewhat arrogant demeanor, at least in her professional fields. She has spent a lot of time around dragons after all. She's not an asshole verbally though. It's just kind of a vibe she gives.

	* Her whole life has been planned out for her, and she's still very new at this "making decisions for your own gratification" thing. She's scared to step away from the life she knows, but she ''can't'' live like this forever.		* Her whole life has been planned out for her, and she's still very new at this "making decisions for your own gratification" thing.
