With her words in my mind while I'm reading, she is as real as I am. Gloriously daft, drop-dead charming, full of bookish nonsense and foul language, brave and generous. She's right here. Afraid and exhausted, alone, but fighting.

Quote 	what's the point of my existence if nothing i do helps the world? there are so many dragons who live and then die that are never remembered as anything more than that dragon, if they're remembered at all. i want my name in the history scrolls, remembered as the dragon who changed the world for the better.

APPEARANCE
a heroine wouldn't care about her appearance, so i don't either. but a heroine wouldn't be a rainwing...
Sugarcane's colours aren't as loud as that of the other RainWings. She doesn't seem like the type of dragon to want to change the world. But don't let her appearance fool you; under the muted green scales lies an ambitious fireball of a dragon.
Her body is strangely proportioned, with a torso that looks too big for her legs. Her horns are very large, and she has a small frill and small wings. Her tail is long, even by RainWing standards. She usually has a thoughtful or amused expression on her face.
Her amber eyes glow with a youthful light. Her head is dark forest green and delicately curved, looking small in comparison to her grey-green horns. A smattering of light brown freckles run across her nose. Her topscales are lighter than her mainscales, more of a light mossy green colour. Her ears are small and light pink.
Her frill is small and a light, desaturated pea green, with tiny little green speckles sprinkled across it. Her mainscales are a dark forest green, surrounded on both sides by thin strips of mossy green. Her spots are the same moss-like colour, but are slightly lighter in some places. Her underbelly is a light lime green. Her small grey-green spines run down her back, pressed closely together.
Her wings are fairly small. The membranes are light green and speckled with green like her frill. A line of mossy green scales runs down the side of her wing bone and onto her leg.
The scales on her legs are the same forest green as her mainscales. However, the scales on her feet fade into a slightly darker version of this colour. Her feet are rather large, and her claws are long and curved. Her long, slim tail is dark forest green with two mossy green strips on either side, just like her scales.
She's often seen with a brown cloth pouch slung across her shoulder. She likes to keep scrolls in this pouch.
thinkin' maybe todayi'd get some luck
PERSONALITY
am i annoying? do you find me annoying? oh— am i annoying you with this question? i'm so sorry
Sugarcane is... a complex dragonet, that's for sure.
First and foremost, she's a dreamer. She believes that she can change the world and make it a better place. She wants to be a pioneer of new ideas, to invent something that will change everyone's life. Unfortunately, these dreams remain inside her mind, for her short attention span makes it difficult for her to concentrate on one thing for long.
Yes, her short attention span. She's extremely forgetful and fidgety, and can't stay focused on one thing for very long, her hobbies, of course, being a notable exception. She's also rather hyperactive and finds it hard to sit still in class, or anywhere, really, where she's not reading. Sun time is always a difficulty for her, and sometimes she'll sneak off and read instead of sleeping.
Reading is a trait commonly and closely associated with introverted dragons. However, Sugarcane is fairly extroverted. She'll often feel drained when not interacting with others, but tends not to realize it if she's in the middle of a good scroll. This, along with her lack of sun time, often leads to her being tired and irritable. She's very rarely defeatist or cynical, though, as she's a natural optimist.
Sugarcane does connect on a very emotional level with her scrolls. She feels the pain, the joy, the energy of the characters, which can be problematic when the scroll is getting to a sad or intense part. 
But she doesn't tend to display her personality around others. She's learnt that other find her too overenthusiastic. Too annoying. So she changes her demeanour, puts on a facade, presents herself differently to others, picking up on their customs and manner and applying it to herself in order to fit in. 
Indeed, she's just a young dragonet trying to figure out how to be authentic. How to get others to like her as herself.
The trouble is, she's almost forgotten how to be herself.
thought if i were nicei'd get the same thing back
HISTORY
pfffft... i didn't have a tragic past or anything... which isn't a very hero-like quality, i suppose
Ever since Sugarcane was a tiny dragonet, she had always been fascinated by scrolls. She found it intriguing how worlds different from her own could be created and made real. How worlds different from her own could be contained within a roll of paper. 
And the characters felt real. They were strong, confident, funny, and heroic. 
So much of her dragonethood was spent in her room, happily reading. 
*parents argue all the time
**this is fine i'm sure this is normal
**reads in her room while parentals scream at each other
**blissfully ignorant
*dragons from scrolls are cool and they can do no wrong
**couple years pass, she starts thinking
**in the scrolls the parents don't argue
**hmm is this normal?
*goes to school
*trouble making friends
**acts like a scroll character so super dramatic + weird
**also super hyper so that contributes
*realizes nobody likes her

*parents scream loudly!!!! loud!!!
*i feel like this is slightly unprecedented
*parents freaking break up
**SHOOT THIS IS AN UNDESIRABLE OUTCOME
**why is this never mentioned in scrolls
**shared custody
* oops looks like her moral compasses (scrolls) are wrong now
** yeah that's not great
** actually very sad and confused now
** completely pushes thoughts of social things aside, focuses on schoolwork instead
'till those trash-bag kidscaused me a setback
RELATIONSHIPS
sometimes i wish people were like scrolls— i want to be able to read them easily
Mamba - Mother
rather distant figure. not a bad mother but not the most attentive one either
fairly positive
Resplendent - Father
more of a connection w/him than mamba, but appears to have changed since the divorce
complicated
Quiet Kids - Classmates, former friends
holds no resent towards them
agreeable
but it's really not that hardto have something nice to say
