Biography
| Pre-Series |
|---|
![]() Jerboa was commissioned by an unknown SandWing queen to create the Eye of Onyx — an enchanted necklace with an onyx set in the pendant — to keep the queen in power. Instead, Jerboa enchanted the Eye to choose rightful queens regardless of the royal bloodline and kill those who are not worthy who try to take the throne. She used her power for Queen Scorpion until Scorpion asked for things that would cause large harm to other tribes, including the SkyWings. Jerboa fled and enchanted an animal's egg to be a dragon egg. She named the dragonet Jerboa after herself, but the dragonet asked to be called Boa to be different from her mother. She started to enchant Boa to do the hard tasks and chores and be agreeable and perfect and reset her to a dragonet many times. Jerboa also abducted dragons from different tribes, enchanting them to be their servants. Jerboa enchanted Boa to "fear animus magic" or "not be interested" but Boa still asked Jerboa for an animus enchanted item; she gave her a shell necklace that would bring Boa to Jerboa any time she wished. They had lived eleven centuries when Boa asked for another enchantment, which was on porcupine quills tied together with a vine that would freeze her prey so she could catch it easier. The next day, Boa pointed the quills at Jerboa, freezing her in place. Boa interrogated Jerboa, asking her how many animus spells were on her. Boa said she found a scroll where Jerboa wrote down all her spells that she wanted on Boa, and revealed that she wrote down for her to be an animus. By that time, the porcupine quills had frozen Jerboa in a block of magical ice, sealing her in forever. Jerboa left one lasting magic effect on Boa: "I enchant this dragon to lose a part of herself with every enchantment she made until she was dead." |
