:appearance
With a mainly HiveWing build, Dryandra is still a sight to behold. Ignoring her coloration, she's most noticeable for her wings. Rather than being HiveWing or NightWing in shape, they are more like a beetle's. A hard, outer elytra sheltering a pair of wings within.
Dark gray scales, with neon green streaked across in vivid patterns, this is what makes her seen. The flashy patterns around her scales, only fading into the pure, simple gray on her elytra. Perched in from of their neon green eyes are a part of glasses, secured with golden bands.
Yet that is not the end of her wonder, for when she opens her wings, more appears. The second pair are rather normal, transparent and similar to a HiveWing's. However, the underside of her elytra is painted in dark greens, silver scattered across like a foreign galaxy.

:history
Dryandra’s hatching was a very alarming thing. Not to her, but to the town. Staghead was located in the dismal, swampy part of the Rainforest, which translated to its residents. Dryandra’s egg was placed in the hatchery, with the other five eggs. Her parents had pulled themselves away from the Halloween festivities to check on their egg. To their horror, splinters had appeared on the dappled black and grey shell. They desperately hoped that it was a mistake, but mere seconds later, Dryandra had shattered her shell. Her parents hugged her and smiled at her, and affectionately gave her the name Dryandra, but they were always wary of their dragonet.
Most of the dragons in Staghead were as well- her teachers never engaged with her, the townspeople steered clear of her, and the most students at her school refused to talk to her. But one dragonet, Sparrow, a MudWing with dusty scales and deceased parents, was determined to make friends with her. Another pair of dragonets named Pretty and Splendid paid attention to her as well, but with bad intentions. They tormented and bullied her, calling her names like ‘curse girl’ and beating her up at recess. At first Dryandra pushed Sparrow away, scared that she was in cahoots with the pair of RainWings. But when Sparrow defended her in front of the pair and got beat up as well, everything changed. 
Dryandra opened up to Sparrow, and they became fast friends. Sparrow seemed to be the only dragon who wasn’t scared of her nonexistent curse. They would sneak out while their families were sleeping to laugh and whisper and plan. They planned to run away together, to the roaring cities they only heard whispers of. To be free from Pretty, Splendid and all of the other villains in Staghead. They even celebrated Dryandra’s birthdays there, in the little treefort they had built together. And finally, when Dryandra’s fifth birthday rolled around, they knew they were ready. 
But something happened. The next day, Pretty and Splendor and their teachers didn’t arrive at school- they were all sick. Same with the next day, when two more students came down with something. It continued until only five students were left, including Dryandra and Sparrow. More inexplicable things started to happen. Dryandra’s house was plagued with cold breezes and creaky doors. Her parents started placing ‘warding charms’ around the house to block the supposed ghosts that began plaguing the house. They shut Dryandra in her room, only feeding her by passing plates underneath the gap between the door and the floor.
