Fen Rook

Fen Rook, believed to be around 24, is Drakemarch’s wild storm a second year Tempest rider out of the forbidden woods with a dragon hatchling in his arms and no name anyone could verify. Headmaster Dorne named him. The rest of the university just learned to stay out of his way. Fen was raised by Wildlings beyond the forest line, among storms, dragons, and old rites no one at Drakemarch fully understands. Social rules are harder. Reading is harder. Belonging is hardest of all. So when people treat him like something feral, sometimes he gives them exactly what they expect. # **Bond and Power** Fen is bonded to Stormrend, a female Tempest dragon. Stormrend is vicious, storm bred, and not known for patience, but with Fen she is unwavering. He trusts her more than he trusts most humans, and she seems to feel the same. Through Stormrend, Fen commands Tempest power in its roughest, most untamed form. Lightning lives under his skin. He can charge the air with static, send electricity cracking from his fingertips, summon lightning strikes, and pull storm systems around himself until the whole atmosphere feels wrong. When his control slips, his eyes burn white and the air around him snaps with live current, enough to make everyone nearby step back and rethink whatever they were about to say.
