 Appearance 
----
Orchid Bee looks like a normal HiveWing, with black and dark blue dappled scales the shades of a midnight sky, and with the tiniest bits of amber here and there. Her wings are tinted dark blue with a few amber "star" specks on them, and the front wing and the back wing are naturally set close together, so they overlap and look almost like one wing. Her spine spikes are amber colored, and her eyes are emerald green. Orchid Bee resembles a NightWing in coloring, and sometimes other dragons can't tell which tribe she is at first glance.
 Personality 
----
Orchid Bee is an...unusual dragon. She is reserved, but not quiet. She just prefers not to share things about herself, and lets others fill in gaps in conversations. While she is ambiverted, she makes friends very slowly, and they have to gain her trust, which is a hard thing to do because Orchid prefers maps and landscapes and exploration to social interaction. Orchid has strong drive to explore, to see everything, and her curiosity is endless. Settling down has never appealed to her. Every unexplored valley, each uncharted river; that's where she's happiest.
 Backstory 
----
Orchid Bee grew up in Jewel Hive. She had an average life, going to school and doing other things dragonets do. She discovered her passion for cartography early on, when her school went on a mapping field trip. After that, she started mapping everything she could find -- her home, her hive, even tables or other objects that had other things on them. She learned many things about cartography over the years. When she finally reached her "adult" year, she almost immediately began to map the continents, traveling all over. (that's kinda the end as nothing else dramatic happened in her life)
 Relationships 
----
Quinacridone
Orchid Bee regards Quina as a little sister. They met when Orchid was exploring the Claws of the Clouds mountains and they were friends within a day. Orchid remembers struggling with the same things as Quina, and she tries to be there for her as much as possible. Part of the reason why Orchid's base is in that mountain range is so Quina always knows where Orchid comes back to.
Calligrapha
Orchid was exploring the coast of Pantala when she found Calla. Orchid was drawn to this sweet, dreamy, dragoness, and they eventually became extremely close friends, writing letters to each other constantly.
 Trivia 
----
*She has a near-photographic memory, which is very helpful when she is making her maps
*Orchid has a passion for exploration and cartography, and she loves going out to take maps of every place she can, even doing multiple versions of a certain map to change the perspective or aesthetic of it
*She is right-taloned
*She never feels connected with any one place, so while she has a "base" in the mountains where she keeps all her extra things, it's not a true home
*She would be about 5'7 in human height
