Calycanthus

Calycanthus doesn't like her weak leafspeak abilities and wants to prove herself more after being left in a former invasion instead of being saved. They promised to come back and get her after all. Calycanthus after escaping as grown to be vicious and wants to question badly whether the tribe sees her as much as the greater Leafspeaks do.
==Appearance==
Calycanthus has scales green as the dawning Poison Jungle Treetops and fade into a silvery turquoise. She has brave, sky blue eyes and light blue flecks of extra scales near her snout and down her neck. Calycanthus has accents of pure rose pink tracing out her underbelly and dotted on her web. Calycanthus always wears a hibiscus-like rose and a dent in her scales from wearing her pet snake too much.

==Life==
Calycanthus hatched in the Poison Jungle and was taken under the wing of Hazel for a short amount of time due to the hatchery being burned by the HiveWings. She grew attached to her clawmates and came across two small, pure white eggs. Interested she took the eggs home to the nest. Days after days they finally hatched and so did her first seed she was tested on. However, it took to long and her leafspeak was diagnosed, weak even if she knew it was neutral. She named the first hatchling "Mahogany" and the second was "Blister".
=== Capturing ===
During the Tree Wars, Calycanthus was captured by Lady Mantis and taken to the Mantis Hive as a prisoner due to her leafspeak abilities. Mantis was instructed to cuff and drug her until her powers were weak enough to stay in bars. Mantis however passed on the tranquilizing, believing that the LeafWings already suffer enough and only cuffed her by the HiveWing's belief to be Leafspeak cancelors. Still, Mantis treated Calycanthus awfully and never gave her enough food to not feel spikes of pain overnight when trying to sleep.
During this time, she met a relative of Admiral and connected on their fear-bringing abilities, flamesilk and leafspeak. The dragons began to plot against the HiveWings, the relative helping to burn the cuffs. Once Calycanthus's cuffs were broken, she began to break open holes while staying in her prison stop.
Later the holes were used for insects to fly through and invade the hive whilst the relative burned the hive. Unfortunately, the relative was caught within the fire being held against his will by HiveWing guards and Caly believed he was burned to death.
She escaped into the Poison Jungle, excited to see how much the LeafWings would miss her.
=== Return ===
Calycanthus spent the rest of her days being a 'disappointment' to the other LeafWings but came across Hawthorn. Hawthorn and Calycanthus spent a long time together, both trying to crack the Breath of Evil to get to Wasp and having a great time. Even Calycanthus lended Hawthorn "Blister" and they were snake buddies. But, Down the road, Calycanthus was able to sense the Breath of Evil's increasing strength and attempted to warn Hawthorn, but he was sure that it wouldn't take over him. Then the day came, Calycanthus immediately saw the power struggle between the Breath of Evil and Hawthorn, unbalanced and clearly one-sided. She fled the lab area immediately, not even thinking about the fact she left Blister behind. She warned a nearby group of dragons but assumedly didn't know what to do. Calycanthus passed out of shock.
Years after, Calycanthus watched as her clawmate was exiled. She didn't care if Wasp now had even more power, she wanted him to stay. Calycanthus didn't have a too-upset peroid, but it wasn't a nice one either.
She broke from both factions, mostly acting as a scout and a supposed PoisonWing. She tried to reach Hawthorn and report to the dragon but was caught everytime. Luckily they thought she was confused or misguided and informed her of the reason he was exiled.
Still today, Calycanthus has been flying around, taking notes on tribe activities with her little buddy Mahogany one of if not her only company. She tries to make more friends but either sees some dragon pushing another into a flytrap or after mentioning Hawthorn they awkwardly scoot away. Except for Pitcher. Pitcher is between the PoisonWings and CottonWings. He understands Calycanthus' situation and agrees Hawthorn's banishment wasn't completely fair. Pitcher though added something Caly didn't think about, the othermind. Pitcher told Caly that by isolation, the othermind would have the time to take over him.
Calycanthus began desperately searching in the Den of Vipers far from CottonWings' city. She couldn't find him in time, only seeing the trail of Blister's shed skin. The two returned home, upset, but bonded over their similarities. Pitcher could never replace Hawthorn, but he could patch the holes in her heart for the mean time.
== Relations ==
=== Hawthorn ===
Before Hawthorn was discovered to be under the othermind's influence, they were best clawmates and still are. They both were working on a way to get the Breath of Evil to affect Wasp but Hawthorn was beginning to take all the credit and unmotivate Caly. Caly though wasn't able to see through the desperity and stress and believed Hawthorn was just taking the blame in case it failed. She still believes he took the blame for her and will always keep trying to save him.
=== Relative of Admiral ===
They were Partners in Crime. The Relative promised Caly freedom if she aided in the burning of Mantis Hive. They surprisingly had good synergy and didn't bat once in a heated argument. It was short-lived however as Caly believe he is dead.
=== Pitcher ===
Not a replacement of Hawthorn, but still almost as equally loved. She loves Pitcher's ethusaism for Hawthorn and they're planning to get him back, not knowing the dragon is dead.
=== Sundew & Other Leafspeaks ===
When Sundew returned to the jungle, Calycanthus only gave a disgusted stare, hinting that Calycanthus is jealous and hates stronger leafspeaks. She also raises her snout when walking by Willow and Mandrake.
=== Blue, Swordtail & Cricket ===
Calycanthus wasn't able to make a direct interaction, but seemed afraid of Cricket and digusted at Swordtail. However, she knew Blue was an offspring of a related dragon to her old friend and sometimes would try to make conversation to ask about confirmation.
=== Luna ===
Same as Blue.
=== Sequoia ===
Being one-sided, Caly hates Sequoia ever since she banished Hawthorn. Though she isn't in spite of her, Caly believes she was trying to protect her tribe but still Caly thinks there was a better way.
