=== Description ===
==== Appearance ====
Out of the three Pantalan tribes, LeafWings are the tallest. They are usually very slender and thin, and have large wings similar to a SkyWings. Their wings are not built for long-distance, and LeafWings tend to glide, rather than fly, through the trees.
LeafWings are typically colored in shades of green and brown, with highlighted colors of gold and pinkish-red. Their hard-plated scales are scattered unevenly. They have green or brown almond shaped eyes.
When LeafWings are born, their scales are all a shade of green and are softer than adult LeafWings scales. As the hatchling grows their scales harden and they gain their other scale colors by the time they are around three to five years old.
LeafWings are born with smaller horns that grow and lengthen with age. By the time they are around seven years, their horns have gained their signature curving towards the tips. LeafWings also have webbed spikes, similar to SeaWings, along their spine to their tail. They can rustle and raise these spikes as they please, and are often used to tell emotion.
==== Abilities ====
Some LeafWings have the ability of leafspeak. This is the ability to speak to plants, it is mainly used to convince plants and other vegetation to grow in a certain place or to accelerate their growth. Leafspeak is genetic, and the strength of the leafspeak power is also based on the parents. During the Pantalan War, the PoisonWings often paired together dragons in order to produce dragonets with stronger leafspeak.
LeafWings can also absorb energy from the sun, like photosynthesis. RainWings also possess this power. 
=== Society ===
==== Habitat ====
The LeafWings inhabit the large forest in the “head” area of Pantala. Slowly, they’ve started regrowing the Poison Jungle further into their territory. Their territory, in general, takes up the entire upper half of the continent- both the head and upper wing portion.
Former HiveWing Hives in the LeafWing Queendom include Tsetse, Yellowjacket, and Wasp Hives. They were renamed Zelkova and Clearsight. Yellowjacket Hive is mostly a garden, but is still inhabited by all three Pantalan Tribes and hasn’t had an official renaming yet.
==== Food ====
Despite being able to absorb energy and nutrients from the sun, LeafWings still eat quite regularly. They are omnivorous and eat a variety of plants, as well as various jungle mammals and fish. Pangolin and wild boars can be eaten in several ways; LeafWings like to smoke them for jerky, but also eat them both cooked and raw. Snails can be eaten, as well as catfish and tambaqui. For sweet treats, LeafWings consume taro, chocolate, sugared grasshoppers, and honeyed fruit.
==== Government ====
After the PoisonWings and SapWings reunited, the LeafWings were restored to a traditional monarchy under Queen Sequoia. However, many LeafWings have retained their militaristic identity and the LeafWings have a heavily staffed military with full ranks. 
Following the construction of the SilkWing monarchy, Queen Sequoia made slight changes on the traditional monarchy rules of ascension, based upon the SilkWing ideals and different from the Pyrrhian tribes.
 
“At the head of the monarchy is the queen. Kings are not allowed to rule, but may be given smaller roles  in the monarchy by their queen. The queen appoints one of her daughters to rule after she dies. If the queen has no daughters, other female members of the royal government are considered. Such as a granddaughter, or a niece. This prevents the unneeded killing of other females of the royal family.
Usually, the first born daughter is the Crown Heir. However, it is not unheard of for the queen to appoint a different daughter to the throne.”

====Mythology====
LeafWings revere frogs, particularly glass frogs, and don’t usually eat them. It’s not uncommon for dragons of any age to carry around a small carving of the frog as a token of luck.
LeafWings do not worship Clearsight as the SilkWings and HiveWings do, and don’t have a particular religion. They believe Clearsight existed, just not in the divine state that the other Pantalan tribes believe.
