Curalium

Voice Claim: Dorian Pavus 
== Appearance ==
=== Genetics ===
Curalium is a tall dragon with large wings, an elegant but strong shape, a strong jawline, and a handsome face.
His mainscales are a bright golden colour, with his underscales being a slightly paler gold. He has black diamond shapes on his scales which go down from his neck all the way to the end of his tail. He also has two large black scales behind each eye.
His eyes are a pale lilac purple colour, and his wing membrane is a similar shade. His golden scales have a faint sheen of this purplish colour when light hits them.
=== Accessories ===
Curalium wears a variety of accessories, being from Jewel Hive and valuing beauty, especially at parties. His normal, every day jewelry, consists of golden rose earrings, a golden ring on one of his front talons, and a golden chain with little golden droplets wrapped around his horns.
He may also wear different eyeliners/eyeshadows depending on the occasion, as well as lilac, black, or white capes and shawls.
== Personality ==
Curalium is a very friendly dragon. He is very outgoing, and generally honest, though he can lie easily and casually if needed. He is very flirtatious and charming, and is sought after by many of his fellow HiveWings. Despite being an accomplished author, he isn't often boastful about the fact, and often won't mention his work or his fame until someone else does.
Despite his popularity, he is also a very kind dragon, but he does have issues with ignorance and being insensitive to others struggles.
== Powers and Skills ==
=== Tribal Abilities ===
He has stingers in the wrists of his forelegs which cause the victim to fall unconscious. He can, and does occasionally, fall victim to Queen Wasp's 'full hive commands'.
=== Fighting skills ===
Curalium is not a great talon-to-talon fighter, relying instead on his wrist stingers to take down an enemy, though he can throw a punch and survive a fight if necessary. He's just not up-to par with guards or soldiers.
=== Writing ===
Curalium is a skilled writer of romance novels, which gained him fame across the hives.
== Biography ==
=== Pre-series ===
Curalium was born into an upperclass HiveWing family who had fallen on hard times, as his grandmother had made a series of bad investments. From birth he felt the pressure to uphold the appearance of perfection, so no one knew of their monetary issues, and since he was young he was mainly responsible for getting money into the household, and keeping their reputation at parties. He was also expected to flirt with anyone as a way of being well liked and popular, especially after becoming famous as a romance author, and is expected to eventually settle down with a female HiveWing to continue their lineage (as male HiveWings cannot inherit property).

== Relationships ==
=== Charidotella ===
Curalium's mother. Her scales are also mostly gold. She has a strong jaw and a thin frame, her eyes are always half lidded and her brow-ridges furrowed. She keeps her wings poised. Her underbelly and talons are black. Her wing membranes are dark, with a slight mauve tinge. She tends to wear many shawls and pieces of jewellery on a daily basis. Her eyes are black. She is an elderly HiveWing from a family of archivists, who were not particularily poor but were considered on the lowest end of nobility. Because of this she values her newfound upper class status highly and wants to hold onto it no matter what.
She married into the family, to help Annelid keep his fortune as without a wife it would be passed on to the next female relative. She doesn't care much about Annelid, and although she "cares" about Curalium in the way that she cares about molding him into the best heir he can be, she is also disappointed that he turned out to be a male. She knows that Curalium is gay but wants him to have a wife so that he can continue the lineage.
Curalium is afraid of his mother.
=== Annelid ===
Curalium's father. Annelid is a short, squat HiveWing with dark yellow scales that are a brownish colour. He is covered in black splotches. His eyes are grey, also half-lidded but in a more tired expression, than Charidotella's constant look of disdain. He wears ruby earrings, a ruby necklace, and ruby rings embedded in shiny copper metal. He's not the most fond of jewellery but as a noble of Jewel Hive it's expected.
Annelid loves to read, which is how he first met Charidotella and her family. He passed this trait on to Curalium. Although Curalium thinks of Annelid as weak because he never stood up to Charidotella, he and Annelid get along better. Although Annelid doesn't mention it often, he is very supportive of Curalium's career and has read every single one of his books.
