Cypress (Silver)

Cypress
Introduction
You are invited to one of Queen Hazel's garden parties, and being the punctual dragon that you are, you decide to go very, very early. When you arrive at the clearing, you see, to your surprise, a tiny, green and gold dragonet hurrying around the grassy area, decorating for the party. She happens to be sprouting towering trees, leafy bushes, and beautiful flowers in split seconds. You decide to approach her, and the little LeafWing whirls around in surprise.
"Hi!" you say with a friendly smile.
For some reason, the other dragon seems to shrink, and she hesitantly says, "Hello..."
Your smile turns a bit nervous, and you tell her, "The decorations look amazing! Did you decorate all of this?"
The dragonet nods, a small smile growing on her face. "Queen Hazel ordered me to," she says proudly. Then, she stays silent, watching you with her golden eyes.
You laugh, a little nervous, but determined not to show it. "That's really cool!" you say. "She must really trust you!"
You continue to chat, talking about random topics, and after a while, you find that the dragonet that you met is completely different once you got to know her. Once you got past her shyness and slightly-unnerving pauses, she reveals to be a really open and friendly dragon.
Little do you know that she will become one of your closest friends who will always be there for you.
The World
Cypress was in The Return to Pantala roleplay. In this AU, the Pantalan dragons made it safely to Pyrrhia, except for the dragons the breath of evil had already taken control of. The LeafWings were given a section of the rainforest for them to build their home in, and Hazel became their queen. However, some LeafWings who wanted to go back to Pantala, which was completely taken over by the othermind, formed a rebellion group called the Roots. In response, Queen Hazel formed her own group, the Saplings, which was made up of remarkable dragons who are very loyal to her. They strived to prevent the Roots from going to Pantala in as peaceful of a way as possible.

Appearance
Cypress has a long, slender body, and her snout is diamond-shaped and elegant. She is around the average size of a dragonet her age.
Cypress's mainly forest-green scales are dappled with darker green, and most of her scales are tipped with gold the color of sunbeams. Her underbelly is a shade of paler green, and her wings and spines are the same pale green.
She has golden eyes and little white specks on her snout. And the leaf patterns in her wings, spines, and the end of her tail are traced with gold.
Personality
Cypress is quite shy and antisocial, but she is very open and comfortable with her close friends. She can also be quite awkward, cutting off abruptly in conversations and staring into space as she waits for the other dragon to speak. She really dislikes dragons who do not listen to reason, and she hates it when dragons underestimate her. She is hard to get close to, and she is usually always busy doing tasks for her queen. However, she will do anything to help or save dragons in need, whether they are on the same side as her or not.
She is quite trusting and sometimes stumbles into trouble because of that. Her humor and kindness in addition to how young she is made her an unlikely candidate for the Saplings, but Queen Hazel wanted her in her group because of her very advanced leafspeak. Cypress is a really hard worker, and she always looks out for other dragons. She is a quick-thinker, but she sometimes has brief memory slips and forgets important things. Also, she tends to think and say a lot of negative things about herself. 
She is a skilled fighter, but she dislikes fighting and always tries not to severely hurt her opponents. Usually, she tries to suppress her anger and remain happy, but once in a while, she explodes with rage, sometimes towards her friends, which makes her feel very regretful afterward. 
Cypress is also very loyal to her queen and her friends.
Abilities
Cypress's most significant ability is her incredibly advanced leafspeak. It enables her to communicate freely with any plant she chooses, and she can easily persuade plants to do something, such as to not eat a dragon. She can also feel plants' emotions very strongly, and they are described to almost feel like her own emotions. 
Her powerful connection with plants can also cause her agony when plants around her are harmed. Cypress feels whatever the plants are feeling at that moment, and she cannot turn her leafspeak off at any time. 
Her leafspeak range is very far, so she can hear and feel plants from extremely far away. That helps when she needs to track down a dragon for the Saplings. Another attribute of her powers that she discovered was that she could make plants feel certain things, such as pain, and she can also help plants heal very fast. It is similar to the way she persuades plants by making them feel certain emotions.
History
Cypress was born in the LeafWing village in the rainforest, but she never knew her parents. Dragons guessed that her parents both had powerful leafspeak because of the strength of her leafspeak, but no one knows who her parents are, or if they're still alive. She has no recollection of her hatching, and the first memory that she could remember was when she was five months old. 
Her dragonethood was mostly spent in the LeafWing village. She grew up in an orphanage, but she'd felt quite lonely her whole life because she was one of the few dragonets who lived in the orphanage. Barely any dragons were parentless, which made Cypress feel more alone than ever. She'd never made any close friends, which she'd always dreamed of doing, but her antisocial nature and awkwardness caused her to cower away from opportunities. Basically, she just lived like a normal, orphaned LeafWing dragonet. That all changed, however, when Queen Hazel called to meet her when she just turned four years old. Cypress was summoned to the queen's throne room, and there, Queen Hazel recognized her for her talents and skills, and she was recruited to the Saplings. Ever since that day, she's been following the orders of her queen and going on missions to help stop the Roots.
Relationships
CherryStinger - Positive
Cherrystinger was one of the foreign dragons who visited the LeafWing village and attended a meeting with Queen Hazel. Shortly after the meeting, Cypress accidentally crashed into her when she was scouting, and Cherry fell out of the sky. In a panic, Cypress sprouted leafy trees to cushion her fall, and she made sure that she was alright afterwards. Cherry was really curious about her leafspeak, and they soon became friends after chatting about various topics. However, when Cherry had to go back to her home, they continued to keep in touch by sending each other letters.
Sylvan - Mostly Positive
Sylvan wanted to check out the LeafWings because they also lived in the rainforest, and she examined the dragons in the village. During their scrutinizing session, she saw a little LeafWing dragonet and decided to inspect — no, meet her. At first, Cypress was unnerved and nervous about Sylvan's questions, and they thought that she was a very shy and closed-up dragon. But after a while, the interrogation turned into a friendly conversation, and they became good friends. Sylvan sometimes visits Cypress in the LeafWing village, and Cypress sometimes visits the RainWing village.
Lunalate - Neutral
Lunalate, a NightWing who grew up in the rainforest, and one day, she stumbled upon the LeafWing village. Cypress was on guard patrol duty, and spotted the unfamiliar black dragon. Cypress approached her and questioned her, and Lunalate startled her by telling her about her visions. They started talking for a bit, and after Lunalate revealed that she could read minds as well, Cypress apologetically rushed her out of the village, thinking that Queen Hazel wouldn't want someone this powerful wandering around the LeafWing village. However, they are still friends, and they sometimes hang out when Lunalate visits the LeafWing village.
