Poplar

"Triantha" is a LeafWing who is a member of the secretive cult known as the Beekeepers. Originally raised as Poplar, the dragonet of two Keepers who left the cult's main encampment, it is believed that their egg was switched with a silent child's egg due to their incredible leafspeak powers. Now that the "long-lost child" of Cicuta and Larkspur has been returned to the Garden, they stand as a lead member of the plan to wipe out all industrialization on Pantala.
:Personality
They'd never say it out loud, but they'd really prefer to just keep going by Poplar rather than take on the name of Triantha. Even if Cicuta and Larkspur were right and Triantha and Poplar's eggs had been switched, they do miss the dragons that raised them, and their name is the last thing they have of them.
:History
Poplar always knew they were special. While their parents might have officially retired from the Beekepers to live a quiet life in Hawksview they were still loyal to the cause, and their dragonet was raised on their stories and teachings. When it was found that Poplar was a leafspeaker, and a powerful one at that, they would often fantasize about traveling to the Garden and impressing the Beekeepers enough with their powers that they would instantly be offered a spot in the cult's upper echelons. There, they would finally get the respect they deserved.
At around the age of four and a half, Poplar's dreams came true. Larkspur arrived at their family's home, convinced that there had been a malicious plot rather than genetic fluke that had rendered Triantha silent. Poplar's incredible leafspeak surpassed even Larkspur's own, despite Poplar's young age and complete lack of formal training. This was seen as absolute proof that Poplar was the true Triantha, and that the silent child who hatched to Cicuta and Larkspur was never theirs in the first place. And so, preparations were made for the triumphant return of Cicuta and Larkspur's true heir, and Poplar was sent on their way to the Garden.
Everything seemed wonderful at first. The dragonet with the potential to become the most powerful leafspeaker in generations had returned to the Beekeepers, and with them on their side their plan to conquer Pantala looked like it was finally about to bear real fruit. Poplar learned quickly, and was on track to receive all the attention and power they could ever want- until they were no longer an only child. Cicuta and Larkspur had intentionally hidden the fact that they were about to have another egg from Poplar until they were fully sure of their loyalty, and it was a shock to the young LeafWing knowing they would have to share all of this newfound love.
