OC-tober day 2! This time some Saurian coast shenanigans.
Scaler is being a typical big brother and giving a friendly joke at his sister, Toolmaker, who is holding a sleepy White-feather.
Tribespeople names might confuse some people, so gere's some lore. When a tribemember hatches, they receive a "Child-name" , which is driven from the little one's personality and physical characteristics, like size or colour. When the tribemember grows, they receive a " Moult name" which reflects their role in the tribe or skills they have accomplished.
For example, Toolmakers Child name was "Fairy nose". This is because for some reason, fairies (moths, as we call them) often landed on her head and snout. This was seen as a sign of good fortune, and fertility. When she grew older, she quickly learned to craft tools with great skill, and so got the Moult name: Toolmaker.
Scaler's a bit different. He is the oldest of his clutch, and was quickly noted to be quite smart. He did have a knack of saying snide remarks ( he has never grown out of it) and so was named "Harpoon-tongue". As he aged, his skills in fishing and angling were noticed, and as his Moult name, he was named "Scaler". However, after losing his leg in an accident, he got a nickname: "Single-foot". Most of the time he is called that, and he even refers to himself with that name.
The naming thing is a bit wonky, however. While Toolmakers daughter, White-feather is still a hatchling, her husband, Darkface still has his Child-name, as he hasn't done anything significant in the tribe for now. Not that Toolmaker cares though. After all, she has a handsome spouse who makes good tattoos.
