After her flock found out about her mate and her eggs, a birdon named Cinder Wing was exiled and was forced to leave Dyna Blade’s territories.

Looking for her mate, Taxus, two of her three eggs have died without her knowing. Cinder Wing’s only egg hatched earlier than it’s original due date. She was devastated as she finally noticed only one egg survived, but still loved her only survivor. Being surrounded by Deadly Nightshade, Cinder Wing named her hatchling “Atropa Belladonna”.

Cinder Wing then decided to carry on from her flock and make her own nest as she waited for Taxus’ return. Fortunately, he found his way to their new home, but he was badly injured. Taxus was treated with the best care the Birdon hen could do for him. Unfortunately, it wasn’t enough. He slowly but surely passed away, succumbing to his injuries as the last thing he saw was his mate and daughter.

4 years later, Cinder Wing’s nest was destroyed by the strongest hurricane in decades. Both her and Atropa were separated and went missing that day. The nestling now had to learn how to survive by herself as part of the wild. She made her own den in a new national park opened in Dream Land called “Pineapple Park”.

Atropa has just turned 5 now. She’s managed to survive nearly a year alone. A strange sound lead her to a young grizzo being beaten down by a poacher who also had a captive and suffering wolfwrath pup with him. Atropa drove him out and treated both of them with her constantly growing herbal knowledge. The two decided to stay with her like a family. She named her new friends after her favorite stars. The grizzo was named Merak and the wolfwrath was named Adhara.

At 7 years, Atropa encountered another poacher. She ordered Mera to warn Adhara, leaving her alone with the armed poacher. His attacks were too strong for Atropa to handle. Just as he was about to hit the final blow, Atropa kicked his harpoon gun off of his grasp. She picked it up, not knowing what to do with it.. then suddenly, lightning struck behind her, startling her and making her drop the weapon. It landed on the trigger as the spear was aimed at the poacher. Right in front of Atropa’s eyes, he was impaled by his own weapon then perished. As a young girl, only being used to killing smaller animals for food, she was traumatized. Mera came back without any sign of Adhara. She was not present anywhere in or out their territory. After months of search, she was assumed dead, killed by the deceased poacher.

One day, a white and black tail-dipped cat named Snowflake was lost while wondering around the park. Mera was the first to find her before Atropa calmed her down. She backed up as Snowflake got closer to her. She could tell Atropa has been through alot. The cat hugged her softly. Atropa cried. Snowflake then decided to adopt Atropa as her younger sister.

Now, Atropa lives with her adoptive sister and her other adoptive siblings. Almost daily, she travels around the world for more adventure. Maybe she’ll encounter a certain birdon one day… Unfortunately, Atropa herself doesn't remember how she found her needle or why it has beam powers.
