Charisma

The motely crew of youths has become well known throughout certain parts of the headquarters. There are the three original travellers, of course—the ones who initially caused so much trouble for us. The SkyWing polyglot. The MudWing historian. The NightWing scientist. 
They have since added two more to their numbers; an IceWing princess, and a RainWing who demonstrates an unusual ability to tame snakes. 
Everyone in her village knew who she was.
It was to be expected, of course—villages are always like that. Any community that has only a couple dozen dragons or fewer is like that, with their closeness and familiarity and neighbors greeting you every morning, asking "How're you doing?" and "Has your cousin recovered yet? That was a real nasty fall." 
Everyone knew everyone. 
She understood that they did not mean her any harm, that they were not acting out of malevolence, but with good intentions; but sometimes, she wished that they would stop prying into her life. Sometimes, she wished that they would leave her alone. 
She always felt as though she were isolated from the rest of her village; not least because of her orphan status, or because her uncle was the village head. Orphans were not unheard of—the rainforest offered many dangers to unwitting dragons—and her uncle had nieces in abundance. 
She could not follow the norms of her community.
on the tall side since ive been making short dragons
* default scale colours are whatever her environment is, so mostly earthy colours/colours of the rainforest's understory. browns and greens. mottled.
** had to learn how to disappear. how to not get caught. 
* when she was younger, she got bitten by one of the rainforest's most venomous species of snake, and somehow survived. everyone in her village told her to respect the snakes for sparing her, so now she works snakes into her jewelry designs and goes out to sing to them.
* industrious 
* loyal
* trustworthy
** when i say trusthworthy i mean TRUSTWORTHY trustworthy if she's supposed to keep a secret for someone she'll take that secret with her to the grave
* she's a bit of a dreamer, although she's also a rather sensible sort of dragon. it's a weird contradiction.
** it's just that she can be idealistic...like she wants things to be a certain way, you know? she wishes they were a certain way, but then she always shoots those wishes down because she knows the chances of them ever coming to fruition are zero to none
*** so she's sorta got a defeatist attitude i suppose. little to no hope since she keeps resigning herself to reality.
* tying into that, she thinks its best not to let people chase their dreams if they're unrealistic.
** tying into into that, the IR squad's gonna come along and stomp on all her preconceived notions. dak in particular will wholeheartedly disagree with her.
** moonray will disagree, but not be as forceful about it as dak. she'll be more understanding of where cassava is coming from, since she's a :sparkles: :sparkles: scientist :sparkles: and got that realistic science-oriented mind, even if she's also in touch with the more whimsical aspect of things. science for her, after all, is about the possibilities.
** frost will also be understanding, but she'd be as forceful as dak and do her best to persuade cassava.
** ridge will ultimately be the one that changes cassava's mind, since he's the one who's truly pragmatic. he wouldn't support something if he didn't see an actual use for it.
* she ends up becoming friends with all the ir squad, even though they overwhelmed her at first with how strange and noisy and and how too much they were.
** this is probably also why it was ridge who convinced her, since he wasn't actually trying to convince her coz that's not how he does things. 
* plainspoken. says things the way she sees them.
* spirited! as in she's got lots of energy and is restless. which is another contradiction, what with her giving up on stuff before the ir squad came along.
** honestly tho she was probably so restless before since she kept bottling up the energy without an outlet. she just didn't really have anything to be passionate about, because she'd always be like "there is no point to chasing after this dream." 
* was planning to just. stay in her community and grow old? thought she would make jewelry and sell it, in spite of how most of the elders tried to dissuade her from that because they didn't think it was reasonable. SHE thought it was because even if it was an unusual career path for someone like her, she was really good at it. she figured she had a decent chance at succeeding with it but that she'd just have to work thrice as hard as normal
* and thennnnn the ir squad came and she yeeted off with them ajksfnjk
