Marigold

beautiful ref and design by wild!!
neither a sapwing nor poisonwing for the moment. pls do not add those categories
colors are inspired by these flowers. her name is the same. nope. she is totally not a reference to something else-
if any of you catch the reference i can die happy
for personal reference: 
oldest out of the bunch strictly speaking. cheerful gal that matches with her color scheme, yes this is kind of cliche i know. she even loves flowers. anyway, she comes off as young, innocent and perhaps a little too positive, but also kind of wise? like she'll say something very meaningful once in a while and her advice is not one to be ignored. though she labels herself as another average joe, which she kind of is tho. that kind of "i want to make a difference" persona that also doesn't want to be TOO special. she also has a great sense of rhythm and good singing voice. 
A flash of lightning. A crack of thunder. The end of a storm, signifying the beginning of another.
Smoke billowed out of the structures they once called home, not from the nostrils of living, breathing dragons, but rather their remains that are now nothing but dust to the eye. Rain started to pour from the overcast sky, joining the tears that already drenched the ground. 
So much fire. So much pain. Too many casualties, too little survivors.
Is there any hope left for this continent? Is there any chance of a miracle that would lead to restoration? 
After all, they always said that, in the darkness there will always be a speck of light. No matter how tiny, it only needs to be found.
Perhaps that light was in the form of a cloaked dragon, the lemon webbing on her back just barely concealed by the hood she wore. It was dark, just like the long straps of fabric that clung to her body, yet what she held in her talons shimmered and gleamed with the fragility of new life. 
And she would be long, long gone before any of the three eggs - her eggs, would bloom into the dragons that were so reminiscent of the flowers they were named after. 
... 
It was almost ironic that the brightest egg of all was born in the darkest place. This dragonet, whose scales would be as bright as the egg she hatched from, would not be kept from the ugly truth of the place where she was born. The colors that could be seen rippling under the shell were reminiscent of all the good things - gold, autumn leaves, warm sunlight, and yet at the same time, they resemble a flame, a blazing fire that had taken almost everything away. 
No matter how eye-catching, she would be alone the moment she comes into this world, but only for that one moment. She would wake up to the acrid smell of smoke, feel the sickly gray ash under her talons. She would grow up learning about everything that a young dragonet should never know, feel the pain of the survivors that someone as young as her should never understand. And she'll do all of those on her own, far, far away from the family that she should have, away from her parents whom the tragedy had taken away. 
The birth of this dragonet might be a symbol of rebirth - like a phoenix rising from the ashes, the ashes of an old home that would soon be rebuilt. Or - she could simply just be a refreshing breath of life that had been graced upon the land death had so recently visited, her bright colors reminding everyone that there's still good things in life, so much like the sweet smells of the flower that is her namesake.

appearance
 
we are all pretty in our own ways! don't ever say otherwise about yourself.
A beacon of light in the darkness. The one ray of sunlight peeking through the clouds on a dark day. The one spark that never went out after all the flames have been extinguished.
Those are thoughts you would probably associate upon laying your eyes on this LeafWing, who is both a standout among other members of her tribe, yet a welcome sight for sore eyes.Category:Work in Progress
