“The world's beauty is often hidden away... it takes us some effort to truly see it. If you need help finding it... I'm always here.”- Dreams
If you're a wanderer of the forest, you might just happen to hear some of the softest, perhaps most wondrous sounds you would ever hear in your life. Some of them are harmonious, relaxing tunes that soothes you to sleep, while some of them speak of an energy so profound that you can't help but feel refreshed from hearing them. Other times, you might just feel that the melodies are gateways to your soul, touching you so deeply and opening your eyes to beauty that you would have never thought existed before.
These sounds would lead you to a hidden sanctuary, inhabited by countless of animals and exotic plants, and in the middle of all the wildlife, you would see the dragon responsible for the music you hear within the tall trees. A dragon sitting silently in the forest, his eyes closed with a serene smile on his face as his talons run through the musical instrument he's carrying.
This is Dreams, the musician who aims to bring beauty to this world ... after he's seen it's ugly side.

“Music always has its colors. That's why every song is beautiful in its own way.”- Dreams
He is most certainly a sight to behold.
With that aura of mystery and calm that envelops you as soon as he comes into view, it is no wonder that many have believed Dreams to be some sort of druid, or spirit of the forest. He is a medium-sized dragon, leaning a little bit towards the tall side, with a lean, almost serpentine body. His tail, however, is what makes up most of his length. It lacks the prehensile quality of a RainWing's tail, and neither is it thin to the point where it fully resembles an IceWing's. Dreams is pretty dainty-looking, but nowhere near to unhealthily thin.
For coloring, it's clear that his IceWing side is more dominant - diamond-shaped main scales line his body, all of them being a pale, grayish azure. Their edges overlap very smoothly, in a way where they reflect light if shone upon at the right angle. This is followed by a mint-green underbelly, a shade of green drastically different from all the flora around him. His colors are oddly matching with his surroundings, often making him seem like an actual part of the forest itself. Dreams does not have wings that resemble either of his two tribes, and their membranes are soft sky blue. His IceWing genetics mean that these colors can never shift, whether voluntarily or involuntarily.
Saying that he has IceWing spikes would be wrong - as Dreams lacks the extra crown of sharp spines on his head, instead only having two medium sky blue horns, slightly curving backwards. Their edges are lined with a brilliant midnight blue, in a way where it melds with the lighter color on the inside. However, the rest of the spines on his back are somewhat reminiscent of a pure IceWing's, despite being shorter in length. Yet, their color remains... fascinating, to say the least. Each of the spines are brilliant teal, scattered with tiny mint green spots that give them a glittery effect, almost like it was painted on, but it is one hundred percent natural.
Dreams has snowy white claws, each one of them deliberately made blunt and lacking the standard IceWing sharpness by default. A forked pale blue tongue is seen when he speaks, but his eyes, being a bright cyan, will certainly catch your attention. The serenity in them is infectious, filling you with a sense of peace and calm as you approach him, and the kindness glimmering in his eyes will surely warm your heart. When he does speak to you, you may also catch a shy gaze beneath everything else.
A non-threatening aura practically surrounds him at all times, and it's shown on his face as well, with a friendly and gentle expression written in his smile. You might not know Dreams from the first glance, but you would never doubt that someone like him is capable of making such wonderful music.
P E R S O N A L I T Y
“It's true, some call me The Musician Of The Forest. But I believe that you don't have to be a musician to find the music that lives in all of us.”- Dreams
Upon a first glance, what would you assume Dreams to be like? Mysterious? Unapproachable? Would you be wary of him because you perceive him as dangerous? The answer to all of those would most likely be no. 
You don't need to know him to understand that he's a peaceful dragon. The dreamy gaze in his look as he plays his music is often the only indicator of the endless ideas illustrated in his mind, all expressed by Dreams in the form of melodies. It is no wonder that he is responsible for so many songs that many dragons find enjoyable, as he always seems to find inspiration in some way. You'll never expect such a calm dragon to have a less than ideal past. 
That might be indeed one of Dreams' greatest strengths - knowing how to move on and not drown in self-pity due to unfortunate events. Instead of driven by hate and revenge, Dreams seeks to bring endless joy and love to the world, something he deems the most important in life, and what he believes that everyone deserves to have. There is nothing Dreams want more than to use his artistic streak to encourage others to do the same, finding the positive, bright parts of life and learning on how to focus on the world's beauty rather than the negatives. Sometimes he thinks his hopes may be a little far fetched, but Dreams often wishes that his listeners can sense that he's trying to lend them strength, that he is trying to help them through whatever troubles they might be facing. 
Dreams is not much of a talker, often choosing to respond with little words or simply listening in silence. He believes that music can carry more messages than mere sentences could, aiming to touch each and every one who listens to his music to the heart. However, being isolated from society means that the hybrid sometimes appears a little clueless in social interactions, and it can lead to some awkward moments when he does have company over. Dreams longs to find true love and wants someone to be by his side, but for now, he deems this as only wishful thinking. Even though he is always surrounded by his feathery and furry friends alike, he could still sometimes feel twinges of loneliness. 
However, Dreams might be one of the kindest and gentlest souls you'll ever stumble upon in the dark depths of the rainforest. He would always be willing to lend a talon to a wanderer who might be hurt, or just offer to let someone hear his music when he senses that they are stressed out. While not formally acquainted with many dragons, Dreams seem to have his own kind of wisdom, often offering advice that comes in helpful even though he doubts this part of himself. That is also another reason, or at least that's what he thinks, that he would have trouble finding love - that no one would really fall in love with a dragon who is as unorthodox as him. 
On one talon, Dreams' caring and loving nature extends to his love of life and every living creature, as shown by his job as the guardian of the Starry Sanctuary. He would make sure no harm comes to nature as long as he can manage, believing that the flora and fauna that surrounded him were always part of his success in creating music. Yet, on the other talon, Dreams can be seen as some sort of pushover, to those who might mean harm. He's a complete pacifist, and he would not ever lay a talon with the intention to hurt on another creature, even if it means that it comes at the expense of his own good... or life. Of course, being the peace believer that he is, Dreams hopes that he'll never be involved in any kind of violence in life, and he hopes that idea is carried through the music he plays. 
To sum it all up, Dreams may not be your everyday dragon, as few had actually encountered him, but if the image of him in your mind is a quiet, gentle but infinitely musical sage, then you might just be right. 
H I S T O R Y
“We don't always have to let past pains define us. That way, more love and peace can be brought to this world.”- Dreams
The origins of this quiet musician start with the story of two lovers from drastically different backgrounds.
They often said that dragonets take after their parents, and Dreams is not an exception to this statement. His mother, a RainWing named Starfeather, was a musician herself, a flute player in a traveling band. She had a mostly great life, despite not having strong familial bonds with her RainWing family, she was very close to her band, which was basically her adoptive family that shared a lot of love. His father, however, did not have such an easy life. Being an IceWing with a secret passion and talent for music who lived in Possibility, Ridge had made some... questionable decisions, which ended with him being involved in a gang, and needless to say he was part of a lot of criminal activity. 
Ridge never thought his life would change, until he stumbled upon Starfeather. It was nothing special - just a regular heist in the town they happened to be in, but that one chance encounter alone was enough to spark something different in the IceWing. He ended up meeting with the beautiful RainWing again, and again the following days, and it was almost inevitable that the two fell in love. Deep down, he knew this was a terrible decision, as his gang had strictly forbidden relationships with "outsiders", as in dragons that weren't aligned with them in any way, but he didn't stop himself, not when Star returned his feelings so deeply. Ridge thought he found an easy escape when his mate invited him to join her band, which was happily agreed to by both the IceWing and her fellow band members. As long as he never let her know about his past, it shouldn't matter at all, and they could live happily... right?
But he was wrong.
When his gang found out that he was missing, they were enraged, but his boss, the SandWing named Dustseeker, was the angriest of them all. Ridge had left their gang and betrayed them, and he was unwilling to resolve this in any other way that didn't end with his death. However, Ridge had gotten pretty good at avoiding the criminals, and thus his relationship with Starfeather was unknown to them as well. This news came as a surprise much, much later on, when the couple had already had a dragonet.
When Dreams hatched, he was immediately showered with love and affection, not just by his parents, but by all of the band that he felt was part of his real family. He was inspired by all the music they would play, and soon he gained talent and interest himself. His early life was mostly happy moments, including the time when he met his first friend and eventually first crush, Starfire, the son of one of Starfeather's friend named Hydrangea. Dreams was never secretive about his orientation, and everyone knew that he was asexual and romantically interested in guys but accepted this happily.
But his happy dragonet years came to an end at the age of 6, when he was nearing the year where he'd be consider a grown dragon himself.
The criminals managed to finally hunt down his father, and it was oh so unfortunate that Ridge happened to be seen outside together with the love of his life. The two of them froze, but the RainWing did something unpredictably brave - she jumped in front of the approaching criminals, declaring that she won't let her love be hurt. The criminals knew the truth of Ridge's relationship with her then, and after easily capturing her, ended her life right in front of his eyes with cruel smiles on their faces.
The look before the light left her eyes would haunt the IceWing forever. But the message in her steeled gaze was clear - save him. Take him there.
Ridge flew for his life, knowing that there was only one place Star would have wanted their son to grow up in. He instantly found Dreams and told him that they had to leave, and although confused, the young hybrid followed his father, not understanding the distress and sorrow clearly written upon his face. The IceWing managed to throw off the criminals and led his son to a place far, far away from civilization, somewhere deep into the forest which had once been his mate's home.
The IceWing knew, things would not be easy. If he stayed with Dreams, the criminals could continue to hunt them down until both of them were dead. But if he left now, leaving the dragonet within the safety of his now new home, they would never know he existed, and he would live on safely.
It was in that moment that Ridge accepted his fate, shedding bittersweet tears. There was never a easy getaway, and he wasn't going to escape this time - or at least, not without hurting his son. The one dragon left in this world that he truly loves. His mate had made her noble sacrifice, and now so would he.
Once he reached the path that led to their secret getaway spot, Ridge stopped for a while, and after looking at Dreams with tears in his eyes, quickly apologized and then flew off, only speaking more to warn him to not follow him and stay in the safety of the forest until at least a couple weeks later, as well as to never mention his name to anyone. At that moment, Dreams was terrified, confused and very, very upset, not understanding why his father was leaving and longing to know if his mother was safe.
But as he saw his father depart and heard him said "I love you", Dreams knew in that instant that no matter what negative emotions he saw bothering his dad, he only wanted the best for him. Suppressing the urge to turn around and follow him, he instead heeded his father's advice and followed the path lined with forget-me-nots on the sides. 
Dreams would never have expected to see what he found. The trail of blue flowers ended and revealed a small waterfall flowing into a gentle but wide river, along with a few huge trees with large and long-shaped leaves hanging downwards. He didn't know why, but the young dragonet felt something behind those leaves, something that promised him endless wonder and amazement he never knew he looked for. 
He followed his instinct, and the leaves parted to reveal a whole new world filled with nothing but life. 
Exotic plants and tall trees surrounded the clearing, and soft green grass greeted his talons every time he took a step. The fragrant smells of the various types of flowers soothed Dreams, and it almost made him forget the chaos he had felt before. A quaint little cottage sat in the middle of the clearing, and between the trees he got a glimpse of the flowing water from the stream, the sounds of the waterfall not loud but instead calming and serene. 
Yet, the most astounding thing he found was the animals. 
One by one, eyes opened and furry heads popped out from the bushes, all eyeing Dreams with curiosity... well, all except two of them, which he managed to sense before he saw them. 
As he slowly moved towards the center of the clearing, the two animals approached him - one of them being a rather large tabby cat, and another a parrot with bright green and yellow feathers. 
And just as easily as intercepting a stray thought, a foreign yet somehow familiar voice reached Dreams' ears. 
You're here. 
He didn't even need to think twice before knowing that it was the parrot who spoke to him, perhaps not verbally, since all an outsider would hear would be a squawk and a chirp, but the words formed as clear as day in his head. 
"Who are you?" He asked quietly, looking into the parrot's blue eyes that conveyed a surprising amount of sadness. 
He is Citrus. A deeper, feminine voice sounded from beside Dreams, and he looked at the tabby cat, who had a similar look in her golden eyes. And I am Cinnamon. 
You finally found us. 
Dreams felt warmth and love rise to his chest as Cinnamon walked over and rested her head on one of his forelegs with a soft purr, and Citrus flew over to perch on his shoulder. Yet, the sorrow that matched that in his father's eyes earlier was unmistakably radiating from both of the animals. 
He had so many questions. The dragonet could have asked why he could hear them, why were they here or what was he supposed to do now... but only one coherent question was formed in his mind. 
"Were you waiting for me?" 
And instead of words, Dreams felt a huge barrage of feelings cascading from the two animals to him, feelings that couldn't possibly convey the meaning of no. 
For some reason, he felt connected to them, like they were bound for life, even though he had never met them before. Somehow, he did not feel shocked or even worried about his ability to communicate with them. It could all been just a dream, but Dreams knew that the feelings he felt, both his and the animals, were too real to be something that's just part of his name. 
And that was why he almost felt his heart stop when such a powerful, gut-wrenching wave of sorrow, with a sense of cold finality, was passed through the bond he had with the two animals. 
He's gone. 
The two words from Citrus sank in instantly, making Dreams feel like his heart was dragged down by heavy chains. Despite the parrot not conveying a name, he knew exactly who he was talking about. 
"Dad," he whispered, tears finally making their way into his cyan eyes. 
And so is your mother. 
Gone. 
It was a word that Dreams would have never used in the same sentence with either of his parents' names. Cinnamon meowed softly and he could hear one more thing amidst the pain they shared. 
Star found this place. She found us. She found our home. 
If his tongue could even form words at all, he knew he wouldn't be able to speak them out loud. But before any of his words could be drowned out by soft sobs, he witnessed the most heartbreaking yet amazing sight at the same time - one by one, all the enemies previously in hiding stepped out into the clearing, and Dreams was instantly flooded with more feelings that he recognized as sadness, loneliness and... hope. Perhaps... just perhaps, they were all reflections of his own emotions. 
Before he collapsed to the ground and felt Cinnamon and Citrus cuddle closer to him in his broken state, he caught a glimpse of all the animals either bowing their heads in a silent prayer for his fallen parents, or snuggling closer to their families, sorrow painted on their faces. 
Dreams didn't know how long had he spent mourning for them. He only made a move when Citrus's voice once again brought him back to reality. 
You should check out what they had left for you.
Wordlessly, Dreams knew what the parrot meant. When he moved towards the cottage, he felt in that instant that he could hear not just Citrus and Cinnamon, but all of the animals in the clearing. Quiet murmurs filled the air, making the place look more alive than he could ever imagine it before. He thought his surprises ended there after he stumbled upon this hidden sanctuary that his parents never brought up and discovered his affinity with animals.
He was immediately proven wrong after opening the door.
To anyone else, it was nothing but a small, quaint little living space for a dragon or two. But to Dreams, just the sight of the musical instruments and the delicate decorations, particularly the few hourglasses on the shelves and the music boxes was enough to make it feel like home. His true home, one that he had never knew he belonged to.
They would like you to continue what they started. 
The little dragonet slowly moved over to one of the instruments, a harp that was silvery in color, almost as if it was made up of moonlight itself. "Would they?" He asked softly, pondering over Cinnamon's words as he ran a talon gently across the smooth surface.
They always told you to follow your heart. And we know that this is what you want.
No dragon could have spoken truer words than his feathery companion at that moment.
Dreams might have lost two most important dragons to his life, but he knew Ridge and Starfeather would never want him to waste the rest of his days mourning over them in sorrow. They would want him to live an even better life, perhaps even continuing their legacy. They would want him to bring love to the world, bathing the dragons in warm light instead of cold darkness fueled by hate and pain. The world might have it's ugly side, the side that took what he loved away from him, but it also had it's beauty, such as this little utopia his parents left him in. It was simply up to him now to uncover this hidden beautiful side to everyone else, in his own way. 
With a few shaky breaths, Dreams walked over to the tallest tree in the clearing, and with Citrus and Cinnamon by his side, as well as countless other animals behind them, bowing their heads in silent prayer, and dug two graves for his fallen parents. After laying a few stones over their resting place, Dreams made a silent promise to them that he will live on for all of them.
Things were hard, at first. There were many nights that Dreams would suffer from nightmares and wake up to a feeling of loneliness, constantly being reminded of the fact that his parents were no longer there, that they were gone. It wasn't uncommon for the lonely hybrid to cry and mourn through these long nights, and there were times where he simply felt like everything was unbearable. But the animals, especially Citrus and Cinnamon, were always by his side. They soothed his pain, sent comforting waves through their bond with Dreams, and kept reminding him that it would always get better day by day. 
And he listened to them. Dreams continued to do what both he and his parents loved best - music - and with each note he played, he felt like each part of the world slowly but surely lit up from the music, filling it with nothing but pleasant feelings and harmony, cleansing his negative emotions and thoughts, and reminding him that the rest of his journey wouldn't be completed alone. The pain and feelings of loss would never fade completely - but in the end, Dreams successfully managed to keep them as a permanent reminder in his heart that he loved and still loves his parents unconditionally, but it would only make him more complete instead of breaking him entirely.
So, Dreams managed to build his new life with his newfound animal companions by his side, strengthening the skills he obtained from his earlier years as well as picking up new ones. His parents had left a lot of books and scrolls as reference material, such as secrets to surviving in the wild, and a lot of facts about animals, though Dreams learned a lot more from the animals themselves. In that time he spent in the sanctuary, which he decided to call The Starry Sanctuary in honor of his mother's name, he bonded with all of the critters there, no matter big or small, feeling like he was getting all the knowledge that he had been missing for his entire life.
It was over a month before finally reconciled with his one friend he made back then, Starfire. When they finally met up, it was Dreams who made it out of the forest with some directions from his bird friends. Unknowingly, he headed south towards a town named Hikari, and almost walked face first into his old friend.
The other hybrid had quickly hugged Dreams and emotionally admitted that he had been very worried in the time of his disappearance. It was there and then that he realized he had gotten over his crush on Starfire, but that only made him value their platonic affection all the more. Starfire revealed that after Starfeather and Ridge was gone, the band had split up, saying that they couldn't stay together as an incomplete family, despite still staying in touch and remaining close. He also said, sadly, that now he and his mother were forced to spend more time at home, he had to face his father, who was abusive towards his family.
However, Starfire had also gotten an offer from a few composers in Hikari, saying that a job was available for a music lover such as himself. He happily explained to Dreams that technology had advanced in this little town, allowing dragons to use devices called computers to make and store their music. Intrigued, Dreams decided to tag along and stayed in town for a few days, finding himself liking the citizen's carefree and good-natured way of life.
But Dreams' heart could never belong there, and it wasn't before long that he felt homesick, and he knew he had to return to the sanctuary where all his animal friends waited for him. He told Starfire that he had to leave, and his friend, being the curious dragon he was, asked him where he stayed and what happened to him after all that has happened. Dreams recalled his father's advice and decided to keep it a secret for the time being, apologizing to Starfire and saying that he hoped he would see him again soon, which he meant it.
Yet, after he returned to his sanctuary, Dreams could not shake the thought of the many job possibilities in Hikari. Not that he needed to get rich off of a job - he was more than contented with life here and everything his parents left him - but being secluded from other dragons entirely made it hard to share his music with everyone else. The animals, particularly Citrus and Cinnamon, could sense his internal conflict and played their part in encouraging him to pursue what he wanted, telling him that he could come and go as he wished with their help.
And that's exactly what Dreams did. He made trips to Hikari more often, much to Starfire's delight, and it wasn't long before the two started collaborating. To Dreams' surprise, their music ended up attracting a lot of positive attention, so much that he was a little concerned about maintaining under the radar. Despite wanting to let the world hear the beauty of the melodic sounds he weaved, Dreams did not want to leave behind this solitary life in his safe sanctuary by any means. Thankfully, Starfire picked up on his friend's wishes, and managed to keep most of their identities behind the screens.
But Dreams also picked up something else about his friend - something that suggested events that were not entirely pleasant has occurred. Not wanting Starfire to suffer anything he might be keeping secret, the hybrid asked his friend what's bothering him, and Starfire revealed that he was simply having a hard time getting used to things after his mother finally decided to end the abusive relationship with his father by getting a divorce, and Dreams could tell he was really stressed about it.
Thinking that this was a good way to alleviate Starfire's mood, as well as wanting to keep no secrets between them, Dreams agreed to let Starfire see where he lived, and promised that it would be a getaway he would want. His friend agreed, although he looked a little skeptical when Dreams led him deep into the rainforest with a few sparrows flying ahead as their guide.
All traces of doubt in Starfire's mind was erased when he saw Dreams' home. The other hybrid was astounded by how the animals could be so friendly, and how they lived in such perfect harmony. Dreams invited his friend into his little home and offered him some tea, and he could see that it very obviously reduced his stress levels. Dreams told Starfire of his wish to stay here and remain unseen, as the best way for the animals, the sanctuary and himself to be protected. He was worried that Starfire wouldn't understand that, but much to his relief, the other hybrid happily agreed to keep the little space of heaven as their secret, and thanked Dreams for showing him that. 
Ever since then their friendship had just strengthened, and life has gone uphill for Dreams until today. Starfire frequently visited him, and he could tell that his friend was happier now. In turn, Starfire managed to talk to the dragons in the technology department of Hikari, going as far to teaching his rather clueless friend on how to use devices such as computers and getting one set up for him in his home, using an animus enchanted component (something that they called the net) to enable him to connect with other dragons in the outside world. Now with a medium to share his music with the world, Dreams felt entirely contented having an audience that he could enlighten from behind the scenes, and still living a peaceful life with his animal friends. 
Now, Dreams is almost well-known through Pyrrhia, despite no one ever knowing his true identity while enjoying all the tunes he created. He did end up stumbling upon a few other dragons though - such as one very passionate nature lover and her quieter sister, who had discovered his sanctuary even though Dreams never told them who he truly was. But no matter what, the little musician has found happiness, and no matter how much pain he had remembered since his parents left, he still seeks to make everyone else in this world feel better with what he does best. 
His life may not be a normal one - far from that, actually - but he has grown to love it, and to Dreams, that is much more than enough. 
A B I L I T I E S
“I just hope that... whoever is listening to my music, I just want them to know. that no matter what happens, they are capable of so much more than they believe.”- Dreams
While not possessing much tribal abilities due to his hybridism, Dreams is a fairly decent tree-glider, being able to move between the branches and vines of the forest with agility. Having lived in the wilderness for most of his life also means that he is used to its environment, having the right amount of knowledge to survive in situations out in the wild where others may have trouble with. His dual heritage means that he has a greater resistance to cold than a normal dragon, but also gives him the ability to survive warmer climates that IceWings struggle to thrive in.
One obvious ability that Dreams possesses is his affinity for animals. Dreams can talk and communicate with almost any sort of animals he finds, although how he hears their voices varies with each animal. Some of them can be heard as words, while more often than not he picks up their feelings and emotions, as well as knowing their body languages very well. His friendly nature with them has earned him their trust and friendship, meaning that if he ever does need their help, they won't hesitate to give it. He also has a lot of knowledge about nature, mostly about the uses of wild plants and how to keep himself safe if the time calls for it.
Dreams is a very musical and artistic dragon, often having the creativity to instill each and every one of his ideas into music. He sees beauty in a lot of things, even the smallest things others may deem insignificant in life, and he can communicate them all to the world through the music he makes. Even if he isn't a fan of lyrical music, Dreams can definitely write poetic lines or beautiful songs if he does try,

“It's never easy getting through life challenges. But they don't make you weak - you emerge stronger every time you survive something terrifying.”- Dreams
Due to conflicting breath weapons, Dreams does not have either of his tribe's major defenses, which are corrosive venom and frostbreath. He does not possess the two extra longer fangs RainWings have either, and neither does he have the whip-thin tail or razor sharp claws of IceWings. In an actual fight, he'd be almost completely useless.
As he is a peacemaker and pacifist, Dreams has almost no fighting instinct within him, and as a result he is very physically weak, unable to use his strength to his advantage most of the time. He is also scared of great heights, which means he isn't all that hard to catch if chased. He will also tire out easily if he expends too much physical energy.
Having almost no social contact with other dragons means that sometimes Dreams would struggle to pick up on social cues and have little understanding of society's norms. Dreams' reactions may also be a little slow and delayed, since he's in a dreamy and relaxed state most of the time.

“Yes, The Starry Sanctuary... after my mother. In honor of both my parents, who never deserved what they got in the end.”- Dreams
S T A R F E A T H E R
Dreams was always close to his mother, and he had always admired all of her skills, from how kind and caring she is to her wonderful music. He took after her in terms of personality, and he is eternally grateful that she found the sanctuary at the first place. The RainWing was the main reason Dreams was introduced to music in the first place, and she played a huge part in helping him develop his skills.
There are no words to describe the care and love Dreams has for Star, and her death had affected him deeply, even though he never actually seen it happen (which was probably for the best). He hopes that his mother will continue to make music on happily, wherever she is now, and he wishes he could hear her tell him that she's proud of him over more.
Very Positive
R I D G E
The more outspoken one out of his two parents, Dreams also had a strong bond with his father, despite in a different way. Ridge was often playful and liked to tease his son from time to time, but he was also very encouraging and knew what Dreams wanted, always telling him to pursue what he loves doing. For that, the hybrid holds a lot of love and affection for the IceWing. 
When Ridge had said his last goodbye, Dreams had never felt more lonely, even more so when Citrus relayed his death to him. He doesn't know exactly what his father did, and the fact that he was responsible for both his parents’ deaths, despite the animals telling him that he made questionable choices, but even if Dreams had known, he would have forgiven him. Now, he just hopes Ridge is safely united with his mother, and that they are looking upon him with pride.

Starfire is Dreams' first friend, one he met in his early years. Despite being older than him, Starfire was very accepting of Dreams and was very close to him. Dreams developed feelings for the other hybrid earlier, but he got over it when he was separated from Starfire while he first stumbled into the Sanctuary. 
He had been worried that he had lost his only best friend when he finally decided to get out of the forest again - only to be proven wrong completely. The Rain/Night hybrid had a similar interest in music and was one of the main factors that made Dreams the successful composer he is now. Starfire had not forgotten him, and instead continued to respect and assist Dreams, even promising to keep his home a secret. 
Dreams trusts the other composer a lot, and finds a friend in him that he enjoys spending time with, whether it is collabing on a new song or just chatting over some tea. Starfire is someone he values greatly in his life, and he could not ask for a better friend.

Dreams knew her when he was younger, as she was Starfire's mother who was also part of the band his parents were in. Hydrangea often acted like a guardian figure to Dreams, knowing that he was close to her son. Dreams appreciated her talent in music as well, and was also worried she would forget him when he had to leave.
He still sees her sometimes when he visits Starfire in Hikari, and he's happy that Hydrangea has rid herself of her husband who was causing her and Starfire to be trapped in a toxic relationship. They are definitely on good terms, despite her not knowing of Dreams secret home.

This tabby cat is Dreams' close animal friend and greatest companion. Dreams found comfort in her presence, and considering that Cinnamon was his mother's sidekick, he often felt the same warmth radiating from her. Cinnamon is always there to make sure Dreams feels contented and happy, and easily picks up on his emotions as well as he does hers.
To Dreams, she is so much more than a pet. Cinnamon can often be found curling up at Dreams' side, purring contentedly when he plays music, and she is always close by when he falls asleep.

Citrus was Ridge's closest animal companion, like how Cinnamon is to Star. He knows that Dreams' father made a lot of mistakes, but also loves his son unconditionally. In the same way, the parrot is extremely protective and loving of Dreams, and often acts as a voice of reason, doing what his father did best in encouraging him to do what he loves.
Wherever Dreams is in the sanctuary, Citrus can always be found close by, often singing with chirps along to Dreams' tunes. Dreams also regards him as somewhat of his own family, as he can easily communicate with him, sometimes through more feelings.

Dreams has met this nature lover when she accidentally stumbled upon his sanctuary. Her loud and brash nature startled Dreams at first, but he soon found that she was okay company once he realized that they had a similar goal - to keep nature from harm. He ended up seeing her a few more times, and though Riversong has no idea of his composer identity, she does compliment him for his music. 
While she is not a pacifist like him, quite the opposite actually, Dreams has learned to trust her and can most likely call her a friend. The hybrid is sometimes put off by her directness and how fierce she is, but he does admire Riversong's bravery and sheer audacity, though.

Unlike Riversong, Dreams has only seen Serenity once, when the former brought her along for a quick visit. He knows that she is Riversong's sister and an alchemist who also worked as a healer. From what he saw, they gave him quite a good impression, as they were soft spoken and kind, and he likes how they want to help other hurt dragons and creatures. 
Serenity is the more peaceful sister out of the two, but Dreams has yet to know her better to form a more solid opinion on her. He definitely wouldn't mind her company the next time he sees her, though.

Dreams has only come upon this little NightWing dragonet once, when he ventured a little further into the Rainforest Kingdom where their inhabitants lived. Given that their encounter was brief, he couldn't really form much of an opinion on her, but when the NightWing had spotted him, but instead of garnering attention onto him, she just gave him a friendly smile and waved back, a gesture which he returned. That alone has made Dreams see her in a positive light, and he wouldn't mind meeting her again.

“Oh... you wanted to know a little more things about me...? Sure, I guess. How about you come on in and we'll talk over some tea? ”- Dreams
* The ideas I got from the GIF were feelings of peace and harmony, a hidden world filled with beauty and nature as well as melodious sounds, and Dreams happen to be its guardian
* Some of the instruments in his cottage include a harp, a keyboard, a flute and a set of drums
* He enjoys rainfall but dislikes thunder and lightning, due to incidents where lightning have caused the trees to catch fire
* Dreams does not recall ever speaking loudly to someone
* He is naturally not a bad singer
* He is afraid of fire and has a fear of his living place being burned down
* Needless to say, he is completely vegan
* Dreams particularly enjoys sweet fruits, and he also loves the smell of mint
* He is big on hugs and wishes nothing more to have someone to love and cuddle <3
* Cinnamon was something like Dreams' mother's familiar, and Citrus his father's. Neither of them could hear words from them or communicate with them like Dreams did, but their bond was strong enough to share feelings and let them sense when they died
* Dreams has no preference over hot or cold weather and he doesn't like it when either is too extreme
* His father was caught by the gang and executed shortly after he left Dreams

“Creating music is almost like painting... you weave in so many different colors to create such beautiful images, except for music, it's each tune and note that make up the wonderful melodies.”- Dreams
