APPEARANCE 
Tarnima is a bit on the spindly side, as he spends most of his time leisurely plucking at strings rather than fighting. Whenever conflict heads his way, he prefers to skid under the flailing talons and hightail his way out. It's a habit that's left his scales in a rather dusty state. Still, better some sand than some nasty looking scars; his appearance is half his career. Even without the extra coating however, his scales are naturally a sandy color. His horns and claws are colored black, as are his teeth and scale pattern, which runs down either side of his neck. Softer parts, such as his tongue, eyes, and ear also follow the same convention. His frill and underbelly are canyon orange.
 Back when he was still able to talk with his mate, Tarnima painted the folds of his wings with bright blue and orange. The goal was to catch the eyes of pedestrians. Blomstra added to the makeover as well, doodling her own face onto the bottom flap. Fortunately, the quality (very bad) makes it so that no one realizes it's actually a drawing of an Icewing. That's probably for the better. He keeps it as a memento of her, even as the years between their last meeting pile on. The sand blowing around the Den isn't friendly towards it.
PERSONALITY 
Tarnima is a lax person by nature. As much as he enjoys his livelihood, he can't deny that it's partially because he doesn't have to move as much. He plays, and people come to him. Besides, compared to some of the other jobs available in the Scorpion Den, getting paid for his passion is by far the best he could have gotten. Ambition is practically a foreign concept. In his eyes, there was simply no happiness to be found in higher places. He's a dragon who's content with what he has, what life dishes out, even if he really should have been fighting back.
 His laziness extends to his mannerisms as well. A near perpetual smile graces his features, and either he has the patience of a saint or he's simply slow to react. On the plus side, he's rather calming to be around because of it. He has a small presence, making it easier for him to slip around, both in conversation and through the Den. Dragons don't mind him nosing around as much. Tarnima is immensely friendly, willing to walk up to anyone for a quick chat, with a disarming sense of charm-- namely, the fact that he seemed to really listen, always.
