An anxious expression spreads across her face, bright silver eyes glittering like jewels. Cethosia is most certainly an interesting character. She appears, even from afar, like that of a sunset, shifting with brilliant colors. A brilliant magenta runs across plates of smooth scales that easily reflects light. Dark green can be seen on the edges of her rounded scales followed by a thin line of silver. A somewhat deep shade of violet goes across her back. In the center of each is a dot of aquamarine, varying in size on every scale. Cream spreads across the plates running down her front, acting as Cethosia's underbelly.
Faded light green scales color her brow as well as dipping down in front of her eyes. Two scales protrude from her brow as well, both are of a similar color to her underbelly. Purples with colors like that of the row going down her back are seen on her face. One small row is seen underneath her eyes and another, longer one, is seen curving down her snout. Cethosia's snout in particular is padded at the end with a dulled down aquamarine. This color also appears on two small, curved scales flecking her cheeks. Unkempt antenna spring like weeds from her forehead. In color, they are mainly purple, with only the exception of the fuzzy, magenta tips. 
Finally, somewhat twisty, cream horns protrude from the back of her head. Though not very long, they can be spotted easily in the sea of deep colors. This could similarly be said about the light green spines that go down her back. Because, as per mentioned, of her rather dark color palette. Going down to her shoulders, her scales going down the front of her legs are of the same color as the ones on her back. Continuing upwards are her huge wings with membranes that are a distinctive crimson. Whorls of purple swirl here and there and spreads like ink in water. These same patterns are seen on both her fore and hind wings. 
Cethosia's build is lanky and rather ungraceful, at least when you compare it to Night's petite and beautiful form. She's rather thin, but not to the point where it's concerning and it she could easily be compared to an alley cat. Her snout looks a lot like that of a pig's snout, thick and slightly bent. While by no means small or short, she is rather easy to overlook in a crowd. Her ears are large with rounded edges, solid pink runs inside them. Though uncertainty flickers across her snout, smiles certain aren't rare. Though they aren't too common either. She holds herself with her head low, trying not the catch the attention of anyone but Night. Even though just her presence is enough to catch Night's attention.

Cethosia has her highs and lows, but the change between these two can happen quicker than the blink of an eye. She's very moody, she can turn from happy to angry or happy to anxious and simply the drop of a pen. Speaking of which, the SilkWing struggles with her social anxiety and often puts words into other dragons' mouths. Though she wishes to become more confident, at least enough to confess her love to Night. And while she may appear anxious and moody in public, she is much more calm and casual in private with Night. Who is honestly the only one other than Ginger that she can talk to comfortably.
 
She's prone to sticking her nose in other people's business and is considerably nosy. Being one of the most renown gossiper, no secret can be kept from her. 
*generally quiet and socially awkward. isn't very good at... talking because of her sheltered childhood. is so curious about other people, but doesn't want to talk to them. sometimes has trouble picking up on social cues and just assumes everything she thinks is completely normal is also normal for everyone else.
*snoopy and rather... nosy. likes eavesdropping on other peoples' conversations and often visits cafes just to do that. often writes short stories inspired off of the people she eavesdrops on. gets weirdly invested in other peoples' stories and just likes... listening and not talking.
*was so used to everyone just being the same that she actively seeks out those with varied histories. just people who are all... different.
*can be a little… cowardly in the face of potential death. in these situations, she’s only looking out for herself. isn’t particularly brave either and needs a strong support network in order to be so. in dangerous situations, she tends to ditch others unless they’re really close to her (aka are night).
*doesn’t talk about her past or her incredibly sheltered upbringing, just keeps moving forward… or at least tries to. really appreciates when people are willing to lend an ear and listen to her vent and just get her feelings out. doesn’t feel comfortable opening up to just anyone and likes having those few close friends she can share anything with.
*very affectionate with her lover and often gets infatuated by her whenever she does or says anything relatively cool. is very loyal to her and listens to whatever she has to say.
*has a bad habit of being too much of a pushover or doormat with people she’s close to, just letting them walk all over her. this comes from how she was raised to be obedient, but is slowly learning to be more assertive from night.
*self-conscious about her own work and has a significant decrease in creative motivation after being exposed to critical negativity directed at a piece of media.

night is amazing. so confident and proud of her work. she's... everything i wish i could be.
Cethosia adores the dragoness and admires her confidence in even the most stressful of situations (to her anyway). For the most part, wherever Night goes, Cethosia isn't close behind. Usually when around one another in public, they don't seem to talk that much to eachother and one could easily assume they are simply comrades. But this couldn't be further from the truth. For the SilkWing dragoness thinks of Night romantically, not just through moony eyes that may appear on her face upon seeing her, but also through the words she mumbles under her breath. Cethosia typically acts anxious around her, fear buzzing in her head that if she says the wrong thing, Night will hate her forever.
Yet it does seem like the dragoness has helped her crawl out of her shell, recently she has begun acting more casual and confident around Night. Though anxious tendencies do seem to spark now and then, though not as often. Despite such feelings, Cethosia is always held back by herself, believing that her feelings are one-sided (when they most definitely aren't). These thoughts constantly haunt her, filling her head with "what-ifs" and every way it could go wrong. In short, she would do anything for Night and wishes to one day be with her. Though that seems highly unlikely... or at least that's what she thinks.
Very Positive

she's helped me through a lot... i've never seen someone so... persistent and keen on helping others before... other then maybe... nevermind.
Ginger and Cethosia have a rather simple but positive relationship. They've been friends with one another for as long as the SilkWing can remember. Ginger was always into matchmaking and assisting with other dragon's relationships. With that said, they're determined to help Cethosia as well, helping her try to confess to Night. She likes their compassion for helping others and additionally their determination in helping her out. Cethosia finds Ginger to be extremely supportive and while they can be a bit overexcited at times, she appreciates their efforts. The two of them might also share gossip with one another and have found great enjoyment in doing such.
