Family Two unknown offspring with equally unknown fathers by the time she's been out of the facility for about 5 years to be detailed later maybe

Like his friend and occasional cohort Bart Wheeler, Moraga Vasquez began teaching at Carramba High after the Clonegirls had been and graduated. However, in their relentless search for partners to rebuild their world's population, Moraga was top-tier good genetic material. He knew this, he was still somewhat resistant to being 'used as a stud'. Moraga has family issues. Lots of them. (The link above takes place before his meeting with Maroon.) Getting him to 'give up the goods' as it were was a bit tough. But in the long run, he recognized that Maroon and he were quite well suited to make babies.

Mercy... is hardly merciful. At least toward the Combine and invasive animals anywhere around their home on her mother's Earth. She spends far more time outside than in, and unlike her father, Mercy prefers to 'love em and leave em' - even to the point of having two children of her own, before her eighteenth birthday. Auntie Lilac takes care of those children, by the way. Mercy is not a great mother figure. Though she is quite intelligent, she's much more of the physical type and uses her smarts to take advantage of her situation, not to become erudite.

Mercy is, in a word, feral. She has strong command over flighted animals, which would be great if she ever wanted to follow her father to Zekira. On her world, though, and in Carramba's teaching situation, it means she's occasionally responsible for sending flocks of pigeons (or flitters) around the lunch court to deliver 'messages' in the form of poop, or to take temporary control over even strong-willed people who have avian features to get them to do things for her.

While she recognizes that these things aren't... really very friendly, she wouldn't just go out and mess with people haphazardly. Her father taught her about 'not crossing the wrong people' - and he can point to his own background, as well as numerous members of her extended family, for proof. She's not stupid, she learned that if she was going to piss someone off, it was first for a good reason, and second that she'd win a fight with them if it came down to it.

Indeed, Mercy ... is not at all her namesake.

Mercy's dragons are both Whiptails, domestically bred from their homeworld, and share the same features found among those already running around the Rookery. They were both made by DragonsAndVideoGames on Deviantart, they have no specific parentage nor are they related to any in the Rookery, though they share similar coloration and may be mated as a pair eventually.

Dragon

Name: Odds
Gender: Male
Size/Shoulder/Length: Medium-Small (long) 7'4" s / 70' l / 66' ws
Colors: crimson red face, limbs, body, tail; darkly blackened-red char-fade on neck and wing arms; brighter red dusting on back of nek and body; vibrarnt red swoosh lines and markings on neck, body, tail, and wing arms; wingsails sunny orange-yellow transparent; horns dusty bright red, eyes pale blue
Powers: Winged Flight, Odds is small and fast as hell. He can fit into surprising spaces given that large wing span and length of tail, and uses his tail so expertly it's like a hand or pseudopod rather than merely balancing him. He can twist through a forest at full speed going over 50 mph without losing his rider (and yes she does ride him frequently), like a dragonfly would zip over cattails on a pond. Thus he is ideal for pursuit and evasion, as Mercy might need to do both of those things on the Rookery world
Communication, though not really gifted with speech, it's clear that Odds is as smart as he is quick, and beyond learning basic commands or 'tricks', he innovates and pays attention to his rider and others around her, using their mood and verbal cues to take action appropriate to the setting. He is a very active participant in events and likes being relied upon.
Other Info: Odds is perhaps the smartest Whiptail in the Rookery, and he seems to know it.

Dragon

Name: Evens
Gender: Female
Size/Shoulder/Length: Medium-Large (long/wings) 10' s / 100' l / 100' ws
Colors: overall grading slowly from a dark crimson red to brighter red from head to tail tip, black-red neck and body, medium red banding on tail only; wingwails pinkish red-violet with tons of bright white star-marks clustered toward wrist, highly transparent; horns black-red and dusty rose spiral striped; eyes bright red
Powers: Winged Flight, Evens is aptly named for her ability to cruise for very long distances at a perfect pace, not varying in altitude, and not dipping and dodging. Stable for lengthy flights bearing a lot of weight either on her back or held in a harness below her chest, she will occasionally drag her tail into things but even then while breaking ruined buildings or tearing down trees behind her, her overall speed and stability are maintained. This means that she can be making off with a tanker truck worth of goods or a harness full of refugees and behind her denying Combine troops the ability to persue them.
Communication and tricks, she can understand most verbal commands that Mercy gives, and sees hand signals and weight shifts as additional information. That said, she's going to wait for those commands because she hesitates to do 'her own thing' like Odds does. She isn't afraid, in fact she's quite brave, but she has only a limited amount of comprehension for her situation, and wants to be led rather than doing the leading.
Sturdy and Strong, if she's on the ground, you know it. She is a big dragon, and though light on her feet for the most part, she does sometimes forget that her tail is built to be whipped, and it can take down even well-built walls. She likes to show off sometimes, and it seems that even though Whiptails are known to hold back this attack, her own tail has never shown any sign of damage, nor have her wingsails, even in hard conditions and gunfire. If the wingsails have ever been damaged, they've repaired themselves quickly without incident or pain.
Other Info: Evens knows she's not the brighest in the bunch, but seems to like being relied upon for duties involving others, and tends to be the one that the Rookery calls for rather than Odds. She's gentle and large, and good with many humans or vorts at a time. She also knows she's among the largest of the Whiptails in the Rookery system, though she'd never use that to bully higher-ranking dragons.
