Life is unfair.
Take Isobel Campbell, for example. Now that she's eighteen and graduated highschool, her father was all 'You can't keep sponging money off of my treasure hoard, go out and earn your own you half-breed pile of filth'.
Dragons can be
such assholes.
And of course, mom sided with dad, so it's two on one, even if one of those two is a mewling, wretched human woman. Being half human and half amethyst dragon is just so difficult sometimes. I mean, sure, there's the raw strength and speed, a breath weapon of raw force, the innate ability to use magic, wings to fly... but oh my Tiamat, she has to color coordinate
every outfit with her purple scales.

So, without a penny to her name because Dad threatened to rip her wings out if she so much as pinched a single copper piece from his hoard, Isobel is in need of money. In fact, she's in need of a
lot of money, because she feels that draconic 'itch' to amass needless amounts of wealth... but also because a girl her age needs all kinds of dumb crap. Smartphones, clothing, shoes, a car... it's just...
all. So. Much sometimes.
So, she got a part-time job at an
Ice_Cream_Stand.
It's not like there are any human castles anymore to just knock over and scoop all the gold coins out of. And the last dragon that tried to hit Fort Knox didn't live long enough to regret the decision. So, what's a girl to do? The economy sucks, she doesn't have a college degree, and stripping is so... gross. So, it's off to the proverbial salt mines with Isobel.
Unfortunately, she's not just developing a dragon's appetite for treasure... she's also developing a taste for pretty young maidens, just like her fore-fathers of old!
