Lychee (Shimmer Animus)

lychee!!!! random little idea i had
she/her, pan - extremely female leaning
-small
-like, weirdly small
-mutated rainwing
-as a freshly laid egg, lychee was yet to be added to the rainwing nurseries
-just right about then, a fairly large rainstorm rolled through. as you might guess, the cold rain wasn't the best for eggs
-when she crawled out of the egg it was obvious something was wrong, she was stark white but clearly unafraid
-after a while they realized her scales just werent gonna change
-she was raised like a normal rainwing dragonet, only the occasional stare or whisper about her scales 
-she attended all the rainwing classes;
-flying, venom, advanced napping techniques😍, fruit identification
-she drew and learned to read and write
-the only different thing is that she went with walnut, an older rainwing, who tutored her in trying to change her scales
-eventually, she could change her scales into very pale shades
-from there, she slowly developed the ability to shift her scale colors, but it takes far more concentration than is required for most rainwings, and fairly tiring. while the typical rainwing can change their scales from colors on the opposite side of the spectrum in a second, it takes lychee about five minutes to even shift through different shades of the same color. therefore, she prefers to stick with one palette and only really changes her scales when she feels particularly strong emotions.
-usually in light yellows, reds, dark browns, etc. lychee colors lolol
personality bits:
mellow
fairly easygoing to the point where her friends have to make her not talk to walking red flags
not the smartest, it takes her a bit to process things, but sometimes she says things that just make so much sense. occasionally solves really hard problems of any type without realizing how difficult it would be to reach that conclusion. and then she goes back to counting on her talons
relations-
parents: unknown, thank you rainwing customs :D
starberry (positive): close friend, they are also roommates living in possibility at the moment
walnut (positive): old mentor, exchange letters every few weeks. a very supportive parental figure in her life
astrapia (postive): her current crush. they often go to the same candy shop for sweets and now have begun finding places to hang out.
doe (neutral): her landlord. a little bit picky, but whatever.
freefall (negative): a creepy shopkeeper that keeps trying to hit on her whenever she passes by or needs to buy his wares. he is one of the only spice sellers in possibility, and she tries to buy as much as she can each visit, fast.
lotus (negative): a mudwing who lives next door. she often makes snarky comments about how lychee 'isnt normal'.
trivia
-she is slightly hard of hearing, and gets very flustered when asking dragons to repeat themselves
-contrary to her name, she does not actually enjoy the taste of lychees.
-she used to dream of flying to the moons and creating a world for just her and the dragons she loves
-at one point, lychee broke her tail flying, and ever since it has been slightly crooked.
-doodling is her favorite way to pass time
