GOJI
Goji/Fuzz | She/her | Straight Ace | 19 | Rain Mutt | Carsi AU 
You lean back into your chair as you wait for your tea to be ready. The café is busy at this hour, with most of the customers being hard-working RainWings who skipped suntime and NightWings who like the warmth of the canopy’s sunlight. You take in the view of the Rainforest Kingdom before striking up a conversation with a NightWing on the small table behind you.

Not long after, a RainWing comes around with an assortment of drinks, giving them to the correct customers. You look twice. She’s covered in fur, and you get a good look at her when she serves you your tea. 
Appearance
The RainWing is very small, being the size of a 12-year-old dragon despite looking around a decade older. She has thick fur from snout to tailtip; it thins out on her face, wings, frill and talonpads and thickens on her chest and tail. Her furless horns are a deep brown. A soft pink ribbon adorns her neck like a collar. Her tail isn’t curled up like a normal walking RainWing; perhaps it isn’t prehensile? She also appears to have no claws on her fluffy talons, but some flick into view as she raises her right talon to swat at fly. Curious.
You realise how similar she looks to a cat. She’s wiry and has fluid motions, with small wings and a whippy build. Her emerald-green eyes are slitted, opposed to round draconic pupils. Her ears are rather triangular and her talons are rather short, curling like a cat’s paws.
In the few moments you’ve seen her, the cat RainWing hasn’t stopped shifting colours. First she was mud-brown with blonde marbling, until the blonde expanded until she was left with brown speckles. A strawberry-blonde flush had appeared on her wings, coinciding with the sudden appearance of a shock of tabby red. Despite all this, she sticks to natural colours, seemingly unable to widen her colour palette.
As the cat RainWing skips away, the NightWing behind you smiles. “So, you’ve seen the resident oddball,” they say, a silver twinkle by their eyes, “She’s a right ol’ bundle of cheer, but don’t think that’s all there is to ‘er”…
Personality
“That RainWing, Goji, always leaves a good impression on those she comes across. Wanna know how she does it? Well, positivity is as natural as walking to her! I’ve seen her at events; she don’t talk much with words, but she’ll always be there in the background, makin’ sure everything’s going smoothly so others can enjoy themselves. Being a mindreader, I can say for certain that rare is the time she ain’t happy. Even in the toughest times, she’s looking for the silver lining and keeps an eye on the end of the tunnel.”
“Thing is, though, she’s a bit of a painted flower. She’s not much good for support, is what I’m saying. She’ll try to be empathetic, but she’s not good at grasping heavy issues. Goji’s good at keeping dragons happy, not making them happy.”
“In fact, she says a lot of insensitive things in those situations. Not that she tries; she’s real curious and can’t stop asking questions ‘bout things. Most of the words she actually says are part of a question, I’d say. She keeps note of details, no matter how minor. Hehe, don’t use your passcodes when she’s around, I tell ya!”
“Before you ask, no, she isn’t very self-conscious. She’s too busy keepin’ track of the world around her to notice that a lot of the weird looks she sees on other dragons’ faces are aimed at her. She does often wonder why she’s so catty-lookin’, though, usually when someone comments on her or she sees her reflection.”
“It never gets her down. Actually, I don’t think nothing gets her down. I’ve seen her get disappointed and such, especially when someone being rude or nasty, but she never really feels strongly… negative.”
“Whoops, might’a blabbed a little too much,” the NightWing says, giving you a guilty smile. After you tell them it’s fine, they add on. “Nah, it’s just now you’re wondering a lil bit about her. If you want, you can just ask her. I think she’ll be happy to talk about herself. Who wouldn’t be?”
Later that day, you spot Goji while walking through the Night Village. She purrs in a welcoming manner as you approach her. You fill her in on the time at the café and ask her your inquiries, including some about her background. After some back-and-forth chatter, she asks, “Well, do you want the long story or the short?”
“BoTh!”
“Ok, then!”…
Background
“Believe it or not, there was a time when I looked normal. I had quite a normal dragonethood: all I know of my parents are their names, I was taught how to RainWing by the community, I found some friends and had a good time in that thing called school and I didn’t see much other than the Rainforest. Okaaaayyy, so I might have spent more time in the Night and Leaf Villages than a regular RainWing dragonet, but I must say, it’s nice to see what other tribes are like, especially when they live in the same forest. I think the NightWings and LeafWings got used to me; they definitely have now.”
“I don’t see many of my old friends anymore. Most of them have left the Rainforest, have extremely busy lives or don’t want to be around me anymore. Not Fogeye, though. She’s a blind NightWing and we’ve always been good friends. She’s one-of-a-kind, really. Absolutely amazing.”
“Anyways, everything changed when I was 3. Not that I remember much, though. That year’s a gap in my memory. It’s like I was 3 and normal then suddenly 4 and part cat. I remember this grey, boring-looking place and serious, grumpy adults and strange-looking dragons. It’s all hazy, but it feels super familiar, like I spent my entire 4 years of life there when I think I only spent one. I feel like it’s not that significant, although it clearly was.”
“When I came back to the Rainforest, life… wasn’t as nice. Some dragonets picked on me because I was furry and, as I’ve mentioned, some of my friends left me because they weren’t sure of who I was.”
…
“I mean, my life’s pretty easy, but those few years of re-learning how to be a RainWing were the hardest part I’ve endured.”
“Moving on, I finally starting coping when I was around 7. I am who I am and what’s done is done, after all, and what’s done isn’t going to be undone so I’m not changing who I am any time soon. Fogeye was a great help, too, as well as other nice dragons I’ve met. I’ve been living in slightly similar ways ever since: finding casual jobs, living in different parts of the Rainforests, meeting new dragons and fitting in while standing out. I don’t think I’ll completely settle for the rest of my life, as I like that structure and I don’t think I’ll change it.”
“How’s that for length?” she asks. Your response allows for further conversation. She’s quite nice, although that NightWing was right when they said, ‘she don’t talk much with words.’
Depending on your social life, you meet several dragons who know Goji over the next months or decades.
Relationships
Fogeye: “Ah, yes, Goji. I like her. She’s very patient with me and she’s nearly all a dragon could want in a friend. We met when she was 2 and I was 3. I thought it was funny that a RainWing was in the Night Village when it turned out I was in the Rain Village. We had a good laugh together after that, and we started hanging out eventually. It was weird when she got her fur, but it never changed my perspective of her. ”
Salix: "Goji's one of my friends, actually! She's got a great sense of humour and likes me for who I am. She's a bit odd herself, so that probably has to do with it, but she's not odd in a bad way, oh no. She's quiet and slow, but then again, no one can keep up with me!"
Yali: “Yeah, I know her. Her hammock’s not far from mine. She’s a weird little dragon, but she’s nice. I used to tease her when we were younger. She never liked that. I haven’t talked to her for years in case she hasn’t forgiven me.”
Snapdragon: “Oh, that furry runt. I keep telling her to stop ruining my plants and to stay away from my home, but she doesn’t care. When I clear her out, she gets all moany and sad. I mean, you’re on MY property, for trees’ sakes, what do you think’s going to happen!? If she says she’s a RainWing, then she should be in the moons-blasted Rain Village!”
Indri/Riflebird: “Wait, our daughter’s alive? We thought she died. Well, good thing she didn't!”
Unknown LeafWing: “I miss that lil’ fuzzball. She was such a wonderful dragonet. Shame she doesn’t remember me…”
One day, an aranga wearing a top-hat passive-aggressively approaches you. “You look like someone who wouldn’t mind knowing Goji facts that would result in the damage of the fourth wall,” it says.
Trivia
- There’s another side to Goji, but she doesn’t remember it.
- Goji, who’s also called Fuzz, was originally a roleplay OC. I decided I could enjoy making her into a proper OC, though. Her roleplay history isn’t entirely included in her actual history.
-  As far as she knows, Goji has never left the Rainforest, still curious about what it has to offer before wondering what the rest of the world is like.
 
We all have secrets, even if we don't know them.

Physical Appearance
RW-1092 has prominent mammalian features, the most noticeable being its fur. Its build is mostly draconic and reflects its RainWing base genome. It is a third smaller than expected for a dragon, likely as a result of its genetics. Its scales are covered by a layer of fur which is always well-groomed. Its wings are smaller than the average RainWing's and are far less sturdier. It has the agile frame of a cat or ferret, along with pointed ears, 'paws', a fluffy, non-prehensile tail, no back spikes and slitted eyes, the last of which are a piercing green.
It has scaly talonpads which are kept as inky black. Its blood is bright red and its tongue is the same, only duller. It also has RainWing fangs, although they are thicker than normal. Its claws are silver and translucent. It wears the standard metal collar that all genetic experiments wear; its ID is printed on the front.
It is confirmed that RW-1092 can change the colour of its fur to common mammalian colours, but it keeps a dull black pelt. It reacts to some dragons by adding dark red stripes, showing its distrust. It is unable to shift its horn colour; those are permanently dark brown.
Behaviour
Nearly any dragon or creature that approaches RW-1092 in a disrespectful manner is liable to mild to severe injury. It does not respond when it is referred to by its ID and is indignant when referred to with it/its pronouns. The only dragons it regularly responds positively to are Ilex, a LeafWing researcher who occasionally partakes in RW-1092's testing, and NT-0438, an Illusion experiment. There are a few other dragons it has displayed affection to: As. Re. Codling, Re. Namib and several experiments. The best reaction any other dragon can expect to receive is a blank expression or begrudging compliance. 
It keeps a small stature, similar to that of an angered cat. When it is scheduled to be tested, it will negatively respond to every researcher who approaches it. Usually the negative behaviour can be relatively negated with treats and respect, but it will ignore any pleasantries when it's about to be tested. If Ilex or an experimental dragon is near it at these times (or whenever it wants something), RW-1092 will approach and 'plead' with them. Pleading is a false display of reserved affection and the target should not give in to its demands. 
It is very attentive to its surroundings and prefers being elevated or in small areas with multiple exits. Coming into its attack range while it is in a small area will result in being attacked, even if the victim was unaware of its presence. Once it is on a cleared elevated surface, it may rest by either sitting or lying down. Possibly due to its mistrust of dragons, it will not sleep if there are others in the room.
RW-1092 is less visibly comfortable with researchers than experiments. This is likely due to negative events it has associated with researchers. It avoids large and/or highly dangerous experiments excluding NT-0438 and will sometimes stalk smaller experiments, but keeps a distance from them. It will retreat from any experiments who lingually communicate to it or display behaviours often found in civilised dragons.
It displays instinctive behaviours, the most prominent being its hunting behaviour. It will occasionally stalk small, benign-looking experiments when given the chance, but is yet to kill anything. It displays a dragonet-like playfulness when it is alone with a toy or a substitute of a toy, pouncing and nipping it to shreds. These displays are often entertaining, so it's unfortunate that it will cease these activities when there is a slight sign of another dragon nearby.
Since it does not talk, RW-1092 communicates using gestures and animalistic sounds. It will occasionally perform a draconic feat, including solitary words and 'sass'. It is yet to show true affectionate displays to anyone but its preferred dragons, but there are no records regarding that, whether animalistic or draconic. It often acts aggressively, distrustfully, unwillingly submissive or antisocially.
RW-1092 displays draconic intelligence as expected for its age, but refuses to display many linguistic capabilities. It displays great spatial, kinaesthetic, intrapersonal and logical intelligence, but lacks in musical, linguistic and naturalistic knowledge.
Skills and Natural Abilities
Positive
Enhanced Agility: RW-1092 reaches the expectations for agility at its age. Its cat and ferret genomes allow for extreme flexibility and its fur and small size help it escape from ensnarement. It can be agile under pressure for a short while, before having a misstep and failing the Time Pressure tests. It is still relatively successful in darkened conditions, hypothesised to be the result of night vision.
Mimicry: An ability that was not entirely expected. After hearing a few sound samples, RW-1092 can mimic them to a highly accurate degree. It has memorised a small amount of voices of both researchers and experiments, and can reproduce many sounds. Unfortunately, this means it rarely uses its own voice, although it has a cat-like accent when it talks.
Sleep Defiance: RW-1092 can last without sleep for numerous days, yet its activity will decline after 72 hours. It is naturally crepuscular and naps frequently, but it will refuse to sleep if it feels uneasy. The longest it has endured was two weeks. The benefit of this ability is questionable.
Quick Reactions: RW-1092 can make snap decisions in isolated or successive events. It falters in successive reflexive motions, but it can cope with other quick successive decisions. Its decisions can often be categorised into two; instinctive and logical. Instinctive decisions are usually less effective than logical decisions, and are reflexive and animalistic. These help it during more physical situations, being the basis of its efficient climbing skills. Logical decisions help it in other times, but can be unfavourable to researchers who are trying to direct it.
Negative
Weakened Natural Abilities: This encompasses multiple draconic abilities.
Flight: RW-1092 cannot fly for moderate distances or greater. Its small wings are weak and flimsy, failing to provide the required strength for prolonged flight. It prefers to travel on land or by climbing; gliding is also difficult for it.
Camouflage: RW-1092 cannot fully camouflage. It can only display common mammalian colours, excluding the colours required for camouflage in nearly all situations.
Miscellaneous: Its venom is weakened so it is no longer corrosive. The venom still proves to be a painful irritant. Its tail is non-prehensile and is instead extremely furry. It is more susceptible to injury as its scales a slightly thinner than a normal dragon's.
Social Incompatibility: RW-1092 does not get along with most dragons. It is extremely difficult to control without excessive force and avoids, attacks or hunts other dragons. While it can manage by itself, this antisocial behaviour is extremely unproductive and is this experiment's fatal flaw. All of its social tests have failed and RW-1092 itself is at risk being marked a Failure Due To Unpredictability.
Historical Records
Hatching
5/5/5116
Subject RW-1092 has hatched at 7:00pm, 4/5/5116. It appears similar to what was expected. There are minor cosmetic variations that have been determined as Benign or Mildly Beneficial. These are its ear shape, eye shape, talon shape and extra fur. It has a pair of undersized wings with low muscle mass and these are expected to be futile for flight; an expected disability. Its body shape is draconic but its figure is feline or ferret-like. Its fur is... delightfully soft.
It was allowed to hatch with other experiments, being a Low Risk. It hatched with three other Agility experiments: RW-1093, SW-0863 and NT-0562. The nest was supervised by Re. Ilex. Although precautions were undertaken, RW-1092 seems to have imprinted on Ilex. It did not like NT-0562 and has displayed negative feline behaviour to it. 
It has passed its Preliminary Tests in health, intelligence and behaviour formation. These were held from 9:00pm, 4/5/5116, to 1:00am, 5/5/5116. Its results were as followed:

1st Year
5/11/5116
RW-1092 prefers to be isolated and will avoid other experiments during communal hour. It displays feline behaviour and will seek out vantage points or hiding places when it enters a new room. When faced with another dragon or experiment, it will slowly approach and study them, but will stay out of reach. When alone, it acts positively and very differently than when it’s with others, leading to the conclusion that RW-1092 is antisocial. It is kitten-like, playing with loose objects and observing as much of its environment that it can. It often babbles in Draconian, though without order or knowledge of what it is saying. It can mimic voices and will often babble using Re. Ilex’s voice. 
Although it has not been officially tested, RW-1092 is living up to expectations. It is fast, very agile and can evade capture, often to the despair of researchers who fail to discipline it. It is also decently stealthy, having stalked smaller experiments for relatively long periods of time before being noticed, showing its hunting instincts. It is fortunate that it does not come into a killing range. 
5/5/5117
There is a small group of select experiments it will come within a metre of. These are NT-0438, NW-0931, SW-0698 and HW-0093. It has also decided to be referred to as ‘Fuzz’ and that it is female. For official purposes, this identity will be ignored.

Notes
- For 15 years now, she has been living Goji’s lost life. She fits in surprisingly well with RainWing society.
