Neopolitan

== Appearance ==
=== Alive ===
Neopolitan is a tall, slightly chubby Silkwing dragonet with mostly pink scales. The bottom half of their head is cream, and xe has brown markings that resemble tear streaks underneath their eyes and at the top of their head. They also have reddish pink markings across their face that resembles blush, and finally, they have cream antennae that are reddish pink at the top. All faer spikes are red, and their horns are brown tipped with red. They don’t have wings, as they haven’t been through metamorphosis yet.
Neopolitan has a brown chest with a red heart marking in the center, and underneath the brown is cream that does not stretch to the rest of their underbelly. On their back, they have cape markings that are cream, which goes to zeir tail. Underneath the cape are red markings that look as though they’re melting. The under of their tail is pink, and at the tip is brown. There are countless reddish freckles all over their tail and legs. Eyr legs are pink, then have whorled cream markings, then whorled brown markings at the bottom.
=== Ghost ===
Neopolitan looks similar to their alive form, but semi-opaque and pure pinkish-white eyes. Pink mist emanates from faer wingbuds. It’s said that the mist smells like strawberries, and that’s how you tell it’s spirit is nearby.
== Personality ==
Neopolitan’s personality is best described as a paper that’s been torn into pieces. Can you discern the gist of what was written on it? Yeah, probably, as long as you have a good amount of the pieces. Can you put the page back together to read all of the writing and details exactly as it was before? No, you really can’t.
They know they were artistic and had a creative streak, but ey can’t remember the things they drew or daydreamt about. Fae absolutely hated Hivewings because they were awful to them, but what exactly did they do? Cele was reclusive and had no friends, but why?
These are all questions Neopolitan has asked voidself, and has no answers to. And as more time goes on, the more faded the writing gets, the more blurred together the memories get. And the more Neopolitan can’t remember who or why or what or when or how or why, the more angry and angry and angry and angry and angry and angry and angr
== Story ==
=== Background ===
(Text that has strike-through are details Neopolitan can’t remember.)
Neopolitan was a dragonet with a lot of repressed anger. While well-meaning, their parents often pressured them to excel at as much as possible, and for most of faer childhood Neopolitan was very irritable and often lashed out at eyr classmates. Soon enough, this landed them in the Hivewing principal’s office, where they were punished severely. Neopolitan came back into class next day much different. They were now a quiet, obedient member of class, and were very reserved. Xe felt guilty for their past behavior, but fae was too nervous to apologize, and nobody bothered to approach them first.
Time passed, and Neopolitan never really grew out of their shell thanks to the oppressive society they lived in. While significantly more confident, they kept their snout shut around Hivewings, and developed a fear and festering hatred of them. Instead of lashing out at others, Neopolitan instead vented out zephyrs frustrations through drawings. Their room was littered with depressing poems, edgy drawings, and half hearted pictures of their family. Neapolitan became distant from their parents- partly on purpose, partly on accident- and as their metamorphosis day approached, xe grew more and more anxious,
and then they vanished.
Xyr parents searched desperately, a missing dragonet alert was posted, search parties were sent- but the case went cold, and so did their parents hope of finding them again.
Neopolitan was out there, of course. But not in the way you’d think.
=== Present ===
Neo xemself couldn’t tell you where or how or why they disappeared, but they could tell you that zey woke up on the beach of Lake Scorpion. How they got there was nothing more than a blur; they remember drawing angrily, then walking out of their house, then- nothing. They also could tell you that fae realized almost immediately that xe was dead, considering that they standing over their half-buried body in the sand. With a hole in their memories and a festering hatred of Hivewings, Neopolitan was convinced that a Hivewing was responsible for their death. 
Neopolitan is currently haunting various hives- mostly Mantis Hive- searching for something, anything that would make voim remember what happened. But the more they focus on xyr untimely death, the more the rest of aer life fades away. They’ve become a ghost story for Mantis hive, an apparition that appears around the bridges and the library. Some rumors say you can summon it by lighting four candles in a square formation and burning a drawing of a Hivewing in the middle, at the darkest hour of midnight. Does this actually work? Maybe it does, maybe it doesn’t. 
Why don’t you go find out yourself?
