=== Description ===
Dart Frog is an adult male Rainwing with a mutation (possibly partial melanism) that does not allow the black patches of his scales to change color. His current status is unknown, but he was last seen travelling around with his sister.
=== Appearance ===
He has cheerful yellow mainscales, a pale-ish lavender-colored head, a cyan/teal tail, pale yellow underbelly, light yellow-golden wing membranes, purple back spines, and purple and light yellow accents. He has black patches of scales all over his body, with one patch covering most of one of his back legs and another covering a bit less than half of the other back leg. He cannot change the colors of the black patches. The scales that do change color are slightly brighter than normal, as the black patches help absorb more sunlight. His body is slightly rounded and he has big, curious eyes, giving him a somewhat younger, innocent, and friendly appearance. Lilac and Toad say he looks "very huggable". 
In his Sandwing disguise(s), he often wears a fake Sandwing frill that his sister made, and wears multiple accessories that are often handmade by him and his sis. The most common are a head piece of some kind with a veil-like thing at the back, covering their rainwing frills. For their tails, the duo often either wears capes or wears some sort of accessory that hides the end of their tail, to hide the fact that they have no barb. No matter which disguise he takes, he often goes for darker shades for his mainscales to make his un-changable splotches less noticeable. Occaissionally he gets some of his scales painted over with (basically like nail polish or temporary tattoos) by his sister and pretends that the splotches are just part of the design. 
Sometimes, he wears pouch belts filled to the brim with herb bundles, carving materials (such as chunks of wood, stone, and rarely bone), and little knick knacks that he collected from the ground and thought looked cool. (such as rocks, shells, twigs, leaves, etc.) Sometimes, he has multicolored potions and/or empty bottles attached to different straps on the belt, as well as containers for proper herb or tea storage. 
=== Personality ===
He is often seen with a soft, cheery smile or a starry, curious expression. He is adventurous and loves exploring the world with his sister. He loves learning about the world around him and experimenting with the nearby plants. When with people he cares about, he is quite affectionate, though when is he is close enough with certain dragons, he does like to mildly annoy them from time to time, as seen with his interactions with his sister. He enjoys making new friends. Some dragons describe his personality as "huggable". Fawn, his lover, describes him as "The sweetest dragon ever". He *adores* any kind of amphibian and thinks that they're adorable. 
As a dragonet, he had a lot of questions, which sometimes annoyed the older dragons. While he has mellowed out a bit, he still retains his childhood curiosity about the world. 
Though some may think of him as naïve at first glance, that wouldn't be completely true, he just prefers to stay optimistic. He enjoys spending time with younger dragonets, and had quite taught a few the basics of carving figures and weaving baskets/bracelets. He finds the energy of younger dragonets refreshing. Though he knows it's best to be cautious but not fearful of new things, he occasionally has a habit of rushing into things too quickly, especially when experimenting with and discovering a new potion brew. 
He is generally pretty open to trying new foods, though he prefers fruits and insects. He refuses to eat any kind of amphibian however, and gets kind of freaked out by live squids. He also won't eat meat if it's still alive, only if it's already dead. (For example, he won't eat a random cow he finds, but he'll be fine with steak if it's offered to him) 
When in his Sandwing disguises, he puts on a mask of being quite laid-back and calm, still expressing himself but toning it down a bit. He tries to stay more alert as to not accidentally reveal his identity or reveal any of his other Sandwing disguises. (W.I.P.)

=== History (W.I.P.) ===
General bullet points:
* Hatched two years before the War of Sandwing Succession(the canon one) with black patches that were unable to change color and weak venom.
* Got lost in the rainforest as a very young dragonet (less than a year old) and met Lilac somehow, who was about the same age, and also couldn't change the colors of some of her scales, though her patches were white due to her having partial leucism.
* Wasn't very good at hide-and-seek games and was sometimes teased for it by others, but it wasn't that bad.
* Eventually started becoming best friends with Lilac.
*Found out they were related when they did a venom test out of boredom. They don't know for sure if they're full or half-siblings, but they referred to each other as siblings even beforehand, so they just decided to roll with that
*Often helped with raising communally younger dragonets, and would help out at the healer's hut
*Enjoyed hanging out near the gardens and experimenting with different plants
* The two often ran away from the main village to explore the forest
*One day, they ended up at the edge between Rainwing and Mudwing territory, and met a Mudwing patrol group, where they met Fawn and her siblings
*Fawn and her siblings, Lotus and Toad, started visiting regularly and they started bonding
*Both groups of siblings would practice their passions and hobbies together. Fawn, Lilac, and Dart Frog especially bonded on their interests for crafting things, and further developed their respective skills/interests.
*Toad would enjoy sharing his story and poetry ideas during these visits, and Lotus would practice her acting, singing, and dancing, as well as special effects
*At some point found the canon animus tunnel thingy to the Sand Kingdom with his sis, where they met Saguaro
*Lilac eventually fell in love with Saguaro, Dart totally shipped them (though he didn't make it obvious since he didn't want to make them uncomfortable)
*Oh look they found a cool bird
*Lilac wonders if there are more cool birds that they haven't seen and Dart Frog is like 'We're packing our things, let's find ALL the cool birds!'
*Ye they're exploring now
*
*W.I.P.
Dragonets AU??
* A few years after he met Fawn, Lotus, and Toad, Fawn and Dart ended up having eggs
* Fawn had at first put the clutch of three with the other Mudwing eggs, but the nest was raided by Burn a few loyalists to give as 'gifts' to her (Being hybrid eggs, it was pretty easy to tell that they weren't normal Mudwing eggs. I mean, in canon, people randomly saw Sky and decided to give him to Burn even though Skywings were on their side, so yea) after a battle against some invaders took place nearby
* Only one egg was able to avoid being taken, and while Mudwings in general didn't really do parents, Fawn still felt guilty, and ended up giving it to Dart to raise with the Rainwings, since they weren't involved in the war, and had the best chance of a peaceful life (especially since they'd be hatched without any sibs nearby)
* She never told Dart about the raid though; as far as Dart Frog knows, they only had one egg
* WIP

=== Relationships ===
====Lilac (sister)====
Very positive
W.I.P.
==== Saguaro (former potential brother-in-law) ====
Positive
W.I.P.
Dart Frog was kind of like Saguaro's supportive friend/younger brother, and would always do his best to try and help Saguaro with his problems. Him and Lilac were basically Saguaro's unofficial emotional supports. Saguaro helped the siblings get the ropes of exploring and survival outside the rainforest. Dart hopes to see him again
==== Fawn (lover) ====
Very positive
W.I.P.
==== Copper (child) ====
Positive-neutral
Though neither Rainwings or Mudwings had much in terms of parental roles, he was often concerned for Copper. At first, him and Fawn had agreed that it'd be for the best if their egg was in the Rainwing Kingdom rather than the Mudwing Kingdom, considering the active war going on. Despite their egg being put with the other Rainwing eggs, it wasn't very difficult for him to recognize Copper as his biological child once they hatched; the dragonet had no venom, had difficulty changing their scales, and they seemed to resemble Fawn. Despite Dart's efforts (he often helped with caring for dragonets in the community), the bullying had gotten pretty bad (think back to Chameleon in canon), so he revealed to Copper that they were related and brought them to the Mudwing Kingdom
W.I.P.
==== Antelope and Catbird (children) ====
Neutral
Fawn never told him about their two missing eggs, so he does not know of their existences
W.I.P.
==== Lotus and Toad (lover's sibs) ====
Positive
W.I.P.
==== Staghorn (potential brother-in-law) ====
Positive-neutral
W.I.P.
==== Cacti (nephew) ====
Positive
He enjoyed the dragonet's presence, and appreciated how Cacti did his best to help his mother and uncle.
W.I.P
==== Water lily/Lilypad (neice) ====
Positive-neutral
Dart Frog did not know Lily for that long before he and his sibling went missing, but he tried his best to be a good uncle. He would often take care of her when Staghorn and Lilac were busy, and would teach her and Cacti how to carve wood, weave flower crowns, and make art out of resin. He and Lilac make a headpiece for her that was made of water lilies, lilacs, and dried staghorn coral that was designed to look like small deer antlers/a small crown with a gem-like adornment that had Lotus petals suspended in resin, and also made a bracelet out of the same materials to match except without the resin.
W.I.P.
==== Koi (nephew) ====
Neutral-positive
They did not really have much of a relationship, as Dart Frog and his sister went missing before Koi hatched, but Dart Frog did help protect Koi's egg. He wanted to do his best to be a good uncle. Before Koi's hatching, he made a necklace for him made of dried staghorn coral, lilac flowers, and resin. He designed it in a way so that it could be used as a bracelet when Koi is older.
W.I.P.
==== Craugastor (Friend/somewhat mentor) ====
Positive
They first met when
==== Elkhorn (Potential sister-in-law) ====
Neutral-positive
He didn't interact much with her. He did like her passion and fierce energy though, even if it intimidated him at times.
==== Begonia (Close friend) (fanon) ====
Positive
They first met in the Rainforest Kingdom in the healer's hut, when Dart still used to live in the Rainforest. Begonia had become blind in one eye, and Dart Frog was volunteering as an assistant to the healers at that time. They held a conversation together, and eventually started bonding over heir love of plants. This was when Dart Frog's interest in plants was rapidly growing, and they enjoyed hanging out near the gardens sometimes when she recovered.

===Trivia/notes===
* Thinks most amphibians are adorable
* A bit afraid of live squids
*He is knowledgeable about plants and knows how to make potions with them (basically medicine, nutrition drinks, sleep potions, smoke bombs, etc.)
*Has decent medical knowledge
* He once had a few glass, egg-shaped cases with a few snakes (and a legless lizard) in it. He found this being sold by a weird sandwing at a stand. Since he couldn't read at the time, he did not realize that the things being sold were animus-touched. The snakes were small. He gave the sandy-colored one and the green one to Saguaro, sold the muted magenta-ish one with strawberry red markings, and kept the legless lizard, whom he named Basilisk
*Keeps a poorly-carved wooden toad given to him from Toad as a parting gift before Dart Frog and Lilac decided to travel more. He named it Toady
*Yes, he sucks at names
*(In an AU, Lotus *ahem* 'borrows' an animus scroll piece and brings Toady to life. Whether this was intentional or not is currently unknown lol)
* He and his sister often ran away on adventures outside the Rainforest Kingdom before deciding to leave for good
*At some point before leaving, they both found the tunnel to the Sand Kingdom and met Saguaro, whom Lilac fell in love with. They would travel back and forth using the tunnel, and didn't tell anyone because they didn't think anyone would believe them, and they liked the adventures anyway
*They were never captured by the Nightwings because they left before they actively started kidnapping Rainwings, and they were always by each other's side.
* He and his sister were best friends and found out they were related when they were bored and did a venom test for fun
*He enjoys weaving things, such as baskets, bracelets, flower crowns, straps to attach pouches to, etc.
*He also enjoys carving things, which he learned from Fawn
*He and Fawn eventually got good at making jewelry and other objects with wood, resin, and sometimes amber. On rare occasions, they used stone, bones, and even hardened venom
*Stuff sold at his+Lilac's portable shop wagon thing: Jewelry made of items listed above, potions as described above, tea blends, carvings, woven accessories such as baskets/belts/bracelets. Lilac helps with woven stuff, and she offers tailoring services, paints some items, as well as makes pouches.
*When they left for good, they sometimes camouflaged as Sandwings, since Fawn told them that they would be least likely to be attacked that way in certain areas due to there being Sandwings on every side of the war. Lilac made fake Sandwing frills out of cloth and wire, and they would hide their tails and rainwing frills with other crafted things.
*He won't refuse meat if it is offered to him, but won't actively look for meat if he is choosing what to eat, as he prefers fruit and vegetables. He will occasionally eat certain seafoods (live squids freak him out though), and enjoys insects as well. His favorite foods include fried spiders and crickets, as well as cooked snails and mushrooms.
*Usually avoids eating crabs, since he once ate a purple-haired one out of curiosity and got super sick (it also pinched him) 
*Once he and started a campfire a bit too close to a small patch of Dragonflame Cacti, not knowing what it was at the time. Thankfully, noone got hurt, it mostly just startled him and Lilac. Now it's just a bit of an inside joke between Lilac and him lol
====== ~Appearances on other pages~ ======
*He briefly appears in Angel Of Madness 001's fanfic Cry of a Phoenix (Angel) as a background character in chapter 9 as a background character
*He briefly appears in AxoIvy's comic The Lost Animus (Comic) as a background character in chapter 1
