Darjeeling

Darjeeling - 11.5Dys, 23Hys - He/They - 95% RainWing, 5% IceWing
Introduction
You walk up to the tea shop, a brightly-colored wooden sign hung from either side with the words ‘Jubilee Tea.’ It had caught your eye earlier during your walk around town this morning. From the outside, you could see shelves with glass jars filled with what seemed to be various herbs- no, no- tea leaves and a RainWing sitting behind the counter.
As you walked in, a cow bell rang from above, alerting the RainWing at the counter. `` Ah, hello! `` Their voice was rich and masculine, almost like how you imagined a king’s voice to be like. You smiled at them, walking up to the counter. `` Hello. I’m new to tea, do you have any starter recommendations? `` The RainWing nodded, slipping you a linen-colored menu with soot black edges, pointing at the section labeled ‘starters.’
`` My name is Darjeeling, by the way. `` You looked up at Darjeeling, nodding to show that you heard them. `` I’m Foam. It’s nice to meet you, Darjeeling. `` You smiled at them again before pointing at the menu. `` Can I please get one of these? `` Darjeeling’s ears alternated to an old rose color, smiling. `` One Rooibos Herbal brew is coming up! It’s quite good with strawberries, by the way. Take a seat anywhere, Foam! ``
You took a seat near the front door of the shop beside a window. You opened your neck pouch and took out a black, no-line notepad and a pencil before beginning to sketch one of the floral tea set designs on one of the sheets of paper. Maybe Dreamland will be a good place to live in? Darjeeling came over with a tea plate and cup, setting it on the table. `` I’ll be back with your tea in just a moment. `` He glanced at your drawing before leaving, seeming interested.
----------
About five minutes after, Darjeeling came back with your tea and poured it into your teacup, glancing at your art before handing it back to you. `` Do you mind if I sit here? He gestured to the seat across from you. `` Go ahead, I don’t mind. `` As you said that, Darjeeling did so. `` I see you like art. `` You nodded, taking a sip of the herbal tea you had been served just a moment ago.
`` Yeah, it’s a hobby of mine. `` Darjeeling grinned when he realized that you had drunk a bit of your tea. `` I find your art amazing. I had a friend who was an artist before they died. `` You nodded, suddenly feeling dizzy and that the room was spinning. Your vision began to blur. `` I’m sorry for your loss, Darjeeling. `` Your words were slurred, mumbling a bit. `` Things happen, y’know? `` He replied, his grin becoming a bit larger.
`` Just like how you’re currently hypnotized, just not fully yet. ``
You looked at Darjeeling, eyes filled with concern.
`` WHAT?! `` You screamed, not wanting this to happen.
`` WELCOME TO DREAMLAND, FOAM! THE PLACE WHERE ALL OF YOUR NIGHTMARES COME TO LIFE! ``
Appearance
To start off, Darjeeling has an average-sized, elegant snout with a short snout ridge. His long and regal horns slightly curve upwards at the end with a sharp point. They have small, hare-shaped ears that feel like semi-rough leather. Darjeeling’s frills are the thinnest part of his body, being only a centimeter wide, although long and elegant.
His eyes are small and judgmental, and are both shaped like a wave.
Darjeeling’s body is slim and tall, and he stands at the height of your average adult SilkWing, his wings not included. Their limbs are thin and long, yet elegant with talons as small as and shaped like a raven’s, although sharper at the ends. Their tail is longer than your average RainWing’s, and long enough to grasp onto trees easily.
His wings are like a bat’s, long and thin like the rest of their body as well. To add on to the fact that Darjeeling’s wings are like bat wings, they are a bit more flexible than your average dragon. His back spikes are somewhat long yet sharp on the ends.
Darjeeling’s scales are smooth and glossy, like calm water in the ocean, and are that way due to trying to keep up with the regal and elegant look.
His face has a sharp jawline and normally has an etched facial expression, showing what Darjeeling’s emotions are, which can be helpful if his colors are not changing.
They have a splotchy color pattern along his entire body.
-----
Darjeeling has walnut brown-colored scales dappled with chocolate and brunette splotches around his body that shine like various chocolates in light. His horns are linen, with small bone-colored lines that are more visible towards the tip. Their secondary scales are cotton white, and Darjeeling’s side spots are kobicha brown marbled with cotton.
His underscales are the color of a cold latte, dappled with a splotchy pattern of an antique white. 
Their wing membrane is a soft and elegant Dutch white color with a splotchy pattern of golden fog, like how the early morning sun’s rays go through the usual dismal grey of fog.
Darjeeling’s talons are a somewhat lighter version of soot black, yet darker than bistre brown.
-----
When at tea parties and important events, Darjeeling can be seen wearing some sort of flower crown, which changes depending on the type of event. The most common one worn is when speaking with Ermine or at a tea party, and is full of light pink roses.
-----
His voice can be described as rich and masculine, like how a king’s voice may sound like in fairytales.
Personality
Let’s start off with the good traits of Darjeeling’s, shall we?
He is naturally halcyon, which can be translated into ‘idyllically happy’ or ‘serene.’ As seen in the third chapter of Calendula Tea and in the roleplay, Darjeeling is quite generous when inviting the Dreamland visitors to tea, and letting said dragons choose the flavour of their tea. They are also quite understanding, as seen when Amaryllis was venting to him in the background of chapter five.
Neutral personality traits? Sure!
Darjeeling is one of the few realists of Dreamland, seemingly knowing almost everything that is happening in the area he is in, also showing that they are observant. They are also extremely honest, which can cause both trouble and good. Darjeeling is also very formal, as seen in all chapters that they show up in.
Negative traits? Moons I didn’t want to say these..
Despite being generous and all that, Darjeeling is very manipulative and dishonest. In the tea party scene in chapter three, they are seen putting intoxicated sugar cubes in certain dragon’s tea, which end up hypnotizing one or two of them. Thankfully, the effects only last around fifteen minutes.
Abilities & Skills
Venom
Like most- if not all- RainWings, Darjeeling has a venom that can be shot from his fangs. Dragons have said that it has a somewhat numbing and cold feeling to it.
Camouflage
Despite having camouflage, Darjeeling does not use it unless feeling threatened or unsafe, such as in new, unexplored areas.
Color-changing Scales
Like almost all RainWings, Darjeeling has color-changing scales. He likes to change the color of his scales at parties to ones he finds pretty, most commonly a shade of pink called ‘old rose’ with a floral design like his tea sets, which changes daily. 
Plant Identifying
With lots of help from Ermine, Darjeeling has memorized over seventy species of flower and various other plants. It’s almost as good as their tea identifying skill!
Tea Identifying
From drinking at least two types of tea per week, Darjeeling can identify almost every type of all of Dreamland.
Taste Identifying
From drinking at least two types of tea per week, Darjeeling can identify almost every type of tea taste on both of the continents.
