Also known as Nadia Lee
Sex: Female
Human
Min is a cool dude in college trying to raise a dragon.
It was realization at first sight -- Min's dragon looked kind of like a limp noodle. So, obviously, that's what he had to name it. Her scales are various shades of blue, and become darker as she grows. They lack a central ridge, leaving her smooth to the touch. Her front is covered in a different set of scales that form sturdy overlapping sections. It keeps her body flexible while protecting her organs. Her back is lined with a light turquoise mane. She has a lump in her throat, like an adam's apple. Her eyes are sharp and she has a keen sense of smell. Her feet resemble those of a bird, with four talons that need to be clipped in order to minimize damage. She has antlers with healing properties much like deer. She sheds them only until she reaches adulthood.
Noodle has the ability to fly. She also produces electricity. Being a little too close when she's upset can make all your hair stand on end. With practice, she emits electric attacks from her mouth. She also charges, heats, and uses electric pull to her advantage. Her most effective techniques require the target to be within a certain distance.
Child Form
The name Nadia was given to her when this form appeared because Min thought it would be weird to call a baby Noodle. Having two names proved to be too confusing for such a little kid. In the end he calls her Noodle, though he introduces her as Nadia. Referring to her as Noodle without her permission will result in silence and a cold stare.
Noodle is often mistaken for a younger child. It may be because of her chubby cheeks. It may be her bright blue eyes. Her eyebrows are thin, her lashes are thick, and her mouth is fairly small. The noise it can release, however, is not. Her skin is lighter than Min's. Her hair is the same colour as her dragon mane. When she's at home, Noodle doesn't bother hiding her antlers and allows patches of her scales to show. She likes to paint her nails. Though her senses are not that much better than the average human, she claims to be able to smell the weather (and so far her forecasts are accurate). Noodle has a tiny bump on her forehead. Min likes to boop it. Though it's hardly noticeable, she tries to cover it with her hair as she gets older.
Personality
Noodle is always shy in front of strangers, often hiding behind Min. It doesn't take long for her to warm up to someone. Then the problem is getting her to shut up. She's talkative and curious, always asking questions. She's bright enough to understand the gist of any answers she gets. Noodle requires a watchful eye at all times because she is very active. Whatever she does, she's likely to get messy. Her excellent hand-eye coordination lead her to channeling her energy into sports. Soccer, baseball, gymnastics, you name it. She's stronger than she looks. However, Noodle is a tender child, and though she tries to be like Min and keep a straight face it is easy to make her cry. Teasing is not appreciated. It happens when she's scared as well as when she is sad, for herself or for others. Thankfully, she also laughs easily. She sets expectations and pressures herself to meet them. When she has worked hard on something, she likes to have her effort recognized. She has a strong belief in pinky promises. She understands that everybody lies, but she never lies to Min. Ever. He can always tell when she's considering it anyway.

Heritage
Noodle is a Korean dragon (용 - pronounced yong). In the Korean culture, dragons were sacred beings, not enemies. It was believed that when a dragon showed itself, the world will change greatly. Dreams about dragons are considered good luck. They are the rulers of the oceans and have free reign over the weather. They can bring thunderstorms and massive downpours as well as deathly waves. Hurricanes are caused by dragons ascending to the heavens. When they are angered by humans, they send a drought until they have been appeased. They could breathe fire, control their size, move with impressive speed, etc. Their powers were thought to originate from a powerful orb which they kept on their being at all times. Many sought after this orb as it supposedly granted wishes. Every thousand years, the dragons shed their skin. The brain becomes a jewel while the rest of the body becomes rock. The jewel was supposed to be a kind of medicine as well as a protective shield when worn. Male dragons will breed with other animals if they don't meet a female, and the resulting animals have extraordinary skills. They have a stronger influence over any animals with scales.
It's said that when a snake lives a thousand years, it can become a dragon. This is really interesting to Noodle and she has decided she might as well be nice to them while she can.
Relationships
In Noodle's mind, Min is her dad. He's very special. No one she's met so far compares to him. She still calls him Min, though. She trusts him completely and tells him everything, though sometimes she isn't sure if he's listening. It's okay, she just likes being with him. He doesn't ever say it, but it's obvious he loves her. Occasionally she'll say something and he'll look surprised before he shakes his head and smiles. Usually he hugs her for a while after that. Noodle doesn't really know what that means, but it sure feels like a good thing. He'll also do things he doesn't really want to do if she wants to do it. Plus, she's the only person she's seen who can make him smile really, really wide. That's love, right?
Other
