Powers Electric/Electronic Invisibility and Manipulation - Periwinkle can alter the electric field around himself in order to control items that use electricity, including brains. While all he can really do to anything biological is 'short it out' (read: fry anything smaller than a dog's brain) he can sense electrical devices within 500 meters, including power lines and batteries. Once found, he can cause a power surge, siphon or rechage batteries, or turn them on and off. Only if he's right there next to it can he really understand what a device does, it doesn't come with a user's manual. Mostly he uses this power to go invisible to sensors and computers, he can brute-force alter data but again only when he's reading the code while working on it. Generally speaking, any computer or sensing array will detect 'something', but it won't even be human-shaped, he can alter what his 'shape' looks like, and it'll only become defined if he wants it to be.
Possible Electric Teleport - Like some others in the Pantheon, Periwinkle is certainly heading toward the ability to turn himself into electrical energy, and thus will be able to move either on his own as a 'bolt' of electricity, or much more likely through power lines or cables from one outlet to another. Martin, and probably Cave if he's feeling particularly nice, could advise him on this process, but he's not quite ready to do it yet. Maybe in a couple years.

Story

Dragon

Name: Render
Gender: Female
Size/Shoulder/Length: Medium-Small (wide) 9'0 s / 40' l / 80' ws
Colors: Body white on belly, head, limbs, wing arms, and under tail, right forefoot mottled sky blue; head over face, dorsal armor down neck, back, and tail from dark denim blue through indigo, violet, and reddish purple, tail framed by denim blue; wingsails bright mottled white, ice blue, sky blue, and teal-grey, in large reflective patches; horns, back and neck spikes, claws, and tail spikes from blue-violet to red-purple, blue foot has denim blue claws; eyes clear medium blue
Features: Mud-Icewing Hybrid, Ice dominant except for shape of face and tail type, body is broadly built like Mudwing, but claws and other features are strongly Icewing
Powers: Winged Flight, though big and heavy looking Render is a good flier and rarely tires during a distance flight. She's heavy though, so she relies on her weight to power dive, or move through things in her way, including walls, Combine troops, or stormfronts. Periwinkle does sit between her horns, as it's absolutely unsafe anywhere else, unless she's just holding on to him with her paws, and even then that's dangerous because have you seen her claws?! She can just dig into a wall or ice or the ground and claw her way through things, using those wing thumb claws to rend thin metals or break through anything softer.
Verbal Speech, Render speaks in a rumbling, avalanche-deep voice, suitable for both her icy and mud parent types. She understands the big words, but rarely is able to pronounce them. She can speak Vort but doesn't really 'get it', subtle is not her strong suit.
Do A Barrel Roll! Render lives up to her name not just by having befriended a computer nerd... but she rends and tears even with the spines on her neck and back, and since her tail isn't fitted with those longer spikes like her Icewing parent's, she does the next best thing: she rolls into a ball or goes into a sinuous invert, and just... rips things absolutely to shreds that way. Imagine Sonic the Hedgehog only 40 feet long and approximately the weight of a literal freight train. Of course she doesn't do this particular move with Periwinkle on her back.
Cold Tolerance and Health, while Mudwings are known to heal themselves or others using mud, she can do the same with an 'ice pack', provided there's naturally occurring ice nearby. (Magic or Vortally created snow doesn't count, for whatever reason - she claims it's because 'someone else already touched it'.) She'll just roll around in the snow for hours if someone lets her, building snowbeasts and having snowball fights are all in a day's work. If someone gets hurt by one of those Volkswagen-sized snowballs, she can always just pack the snow down around them and concentrate a bit... and boom they're healed! And cold as hell but healed!
Parentage: Shares an Icewing parent with Refresh and Resolution, cousin of Raster, Chionodoxa and Cyclamen
Origin: Adopted from Moonshimmer981 on Deviantart, Wings of Fire by Tui Sutherland
Other Info: Doesn't mind being the big and burly sibling to her 'little' cousin Raster's smart and fast or brother Resolution's quick and agile. They all adore one another, and will go to great lengths to help their human friends.
