Greeting Terrans. I'm Valeris Diamondback. i have known Jessica and the furred five many years. I am a backup and stand in singer. If you saw me up front that meant one of the others where not singing. I was the unknown Sixth of the Furred Five, My sister and i where bonded. I am from Waterstone of Griffin Ridge. that is a province on Draconia V it fell under the rule of King Blaze Wing when he usurped the evil Emperor Goldenscale. In Griffin Ridge we form pairs, bonded pairs usually with a sibling or parent at first then we expand that bond to include friends and our Mates, as we collect more bonds we form up a flight. My bond was with my sister, it was tough to form many other bonds. My skills for performace are Mimicry just like Macaws or Parrots. I am actually a feathered Dragon, but look like a bird. That's how and why we form Flights. i can sound identical to any of the Furred Five. Right now i love this borrowed avatar for a base and i love the Clothes Trina let me borrow. We are oddly close to the same size though i's 6'1" tall. My sister was stricken with Dragonsbane sometime on tour in Melanoma Canticle. that steals your physical strength and any ability to move over time. eventually it even stops the heart from working. that's what happened to my sister on the way to the Emerald Isle. We where going to turn around and go to the nearest spaceport so we could take her home to Waterstone, but before her last heartbeat she told us to finish the tour, she will be fine in state storage. So that's what we did, and we brought Serena to some of the venues for a true viewing. other times we used her recorded music while i sung her part. That is until we met Gabby a nasty Kanuck from Princess Fiona Island...but i judged her to harshly she was leaving Arcadia and wanted to ride with us to Light villa and see if she could earn some cash playing in the band, she said she was an MC and a Pianist. I was against that. but the other 4 where willing to try. I remained there singing in my sister's voice while Gabby played. One day i had to cover for Trina while she was on assignment in the red empire. That meant for the Song Flight of the Warrior Gabby had to sing....i was scared and was ready for the boos and trash to be thrown, but when gabby opened her mouth to sing the first soaring Stanza i froze, she was a natural operatic Singer and she sung "flight of the warrior" Better. i realized Gabby was cool, so cool that i gave her my sister's legacy. The Winderstat Keytar, Selena built it from spare parts and played it better than anyone, i figured Gabby had truly earned it.
