Pteris

Pteris is a Mud-Rain hybrid.
== Appearance ==
Pteris is generally and awkward looking dragon, sporting the sloping, curvy shapes of a RainWing but with added MudWing bulk, especially on her limbs and neck.
Her scales are warm, pale brown with a light, soft green underbelly. Her MudWing back-scales are broken up into vertical lines, almost like stripes on the upper parts of her body. They are dark green.
Her snout is rather short, and has a boxy shape like a MudWings, while she has cat-like eyes of a RainWing. Her eyes are pale yellow-green. Her curly horns are dark greyish green, and her wing membranes are muted shades of orange. She cannot change any of her scale colors, although in certain lights they seem to appear noticably brighter.
She wears long strands of fern leaves woven together around her body, tied around her neck, they moving into her middle, and eventually tied at her tail. Although they hand loosely, they do not bother her running, and Pteris often displays her ferns elegantly.
== Personality ==
Pteris is a loud-mouthed, rather fierce dragon. She finds things wrong in almost everything and will do anything to fix it, and will make someone else do if she can't (and she usually can't, as she's so busy sometimes it's impossible to find spare time). If things don't go her way, she can be dramatic and often makes things seem worse than they are.
However, Pteris truly does believe in the value of hard work and starting from the ground up. She believes nothing in life is handed to you, and that if you want things right, you better do them yourself.
Because of her bossy nature, she has a hard time making friends, but once she does, you have guranteed protection for life as she will give an arm and a leg for her friends. she is very loyal to her group as well, even if her strict rules and bossy attitude may not show it.
== Occupation ==
Pteris works with a group of RainWings trying to prevent MudWings from expanding their territory and destroyed parts of the forest. Although she lacks the scale-changing the RainWings need to stop the MudWings, she plans and strategizes meetings, protests, and protection of the forest. She is also very strong, and will fight claw-to-claw if she needs too.
== History ==
She was born of two dragons who were both trying to expand the MudWing territory, and her RainWing parent tried to stop protesters of the MudWings.
She ran away from her parents at a young age after a secret little clearing she liked to play in was destroyed and inhabited by MudWings. She now doesn't speak with them, and works with the RainWings.
