One of the countless "failed" creations that would eventually culminate in Carys, Phoebe, much like her fellow creations, was born without a name and considered nothing more than fodder to be used to enact her father's wishes. Sent to a remote corner of the continent, Phoebe was expected to throw her life away opening a void gate, tearing open reality to the void beyond their realm and draining the continent of magic. She planned to do this willingly - but when another dragon named Hyacinth not only stopped her, but insisted her life had value simply because she was alive, Phoebe found herself guilt ridden and heartbroken when Hyacinth died to seal the void gate. Upon crossing paths with Lilac, Hyacinth's younger sister, Phoebe intended to let Lilac kill her - but things changed when her father arrived. Tricked into thinking her father was proud of her, he set to absorb her life force to empower his own magic - and her worldview of him shattered. With the last of her strength, she teleported away with Lilac and the others, intent on ruining her father's plans...

Having predicted her arrival, he saved Phoebe's life - though was unable to return her appearance to what it once had been. Given a second lease on life, Phoebe finds herself named and adopted by Orchid and Illyrian...
