APPEARANCE
Mute purples ripple across her scales with only a hint of light blue for her eyes. These purples came in all shades and tints. Her main scales in particular are just an average purple. With a much darker coloration going across the top of her head, circling her eyes and going down her back on small, flat scales. Same went for the scales going down the front of her legs and up her wings. These started splitting apart near Haiku's elbows and continue down her wrists and talons.
Grey is added to the mute purples to create the color of her underbelly. This is similarly seen in the RainWing's showy ruff as well. Large wings spread from her back, with the membranes being the same color as her underbelly and ruff. Near the edges of the membranes are little silver speckles, almost like the star-like scales on NightWings. Twisting horns curl from the back of her head, light-ish purple-black in color. It did look similar to that of the scales around her eyes, but much darker.
These spines went down Haiku's back, curved and thick, but staying close to her back. Gradually, these get smaller as they go down from the base of her tail to its tip. Additionally, below her small, rather long ears, a little spike is seen. Same goes for the one perching atop her snout. Little spurs are seen on her wings and her gentle, curved talons are also this same color. The thin row of scales that is supposed to separate the underbelly from the main scales is completely gone.
Elegance could easily describe Haiku's build. Though it is a bit stooped over from slouching when writing, her back is curvy and flexible. A prehensile tail can easily grab on to any grabbable surface within its range. Working almost as though it is another hand completely. Haiku stands tall, with a craning neck to match her magnificent wings. Two small but rather long fangs droop down from her top jaw, these ones being able to spit venom.
For accessories, the RainWing doesn't wear very many. Around her chest she has a little bag where she puts her small crow feather quill. As well as a bit of parchment that is a little bit crumpled and a flute made out of willow wood. This is slung around her shoulders and lays around her chest. Quietly does it bump her chest when she walks. This bag is weaved out of jungle vines and was given to her by an old friend somewhere in the past. Sometimes she wears note-shaped earrings that are made of gold, with little sapphires on the ends of them.
Haiku's dark talons are stained with a black ink, though sometimes little dots of black are seen on her underbelly and forearms. This is mainly due to either accidently laying her arms on something she was writing. Well, either that or it just got splattered there from careless writing.
PERSONALITY
** unfriendly, and not very welcoming. most are turned off because of that.
** paranoid that sloths are spies or parasites that want to take down the dragon race. avoids sloths like they're the plague. shows distaste when someone comes into her library with a sloth on their shoulder or on their body in general.
** grumpy and very tired most of the time, but can never fall asleep for anything longer than a minute. makes her even bitter.
** hates noisy dragonets and loud noises in general, has sensitive hearing, so loud noises physically hurt her.
** very wise and knowledgeable, her memory is very good and she's not used to forgetting things. refers to plants and animals by their scientific names rather than their common names.
** avoids confrontation, or at least tries to. like most, she tries to avoid dying or arguing with others.
** not very social, never was really.

TRIVIA
* moral alignment is lawful good.
* love languages are words of affirmation and quality time.
* named after a kind of japanese poetry.
* pretty certain those sloths are spies.
* her favorite author is probably shakespeare, honestly.
* was originally going to live in a town called iris and become friends with a higher being known as sicarius, but that was scrapped.
* the very first concept for haiku was to make her a guardian of the forest that was raised by birds (somehow). this was scrapped.
* bilingual in both dragonese (english in this case) and the original language that dragonese stems from. the name of this language has long since been forgotten. most just call it "old dragonese."
* favorite animal is panterpe insignis (fiery-throated hummingbird). has only seen one once and keeps out a hummingbird feeder to try and see the bird again. birds of paradise are a close second, though. haiku likes birds.
* has only ever published one book that she wrote herself, it's called "birds of the world." complete with hand drawn illustrations (not colored though) by herself. it's pretty good.
** mostly publishes her best poems. "tranquility," "all you've lost before," and "windchimes" are her most well-known pieces.
* has a childhood fear of sloths and spiders. the reason she thinks sloths are parasites is due to a former friend of her's telling her they were back in preschool. still believes it to this day.
