"If a woodchuck could chuck wood, how much wood would is chuck?"
=== Description ===
----Ilex is a light beige LeafWing with darker beige lining. She has dark green spines, with a few red dots in the spines, and patterning, as well as the same dark green freckles with tiny red dots inside each freckle. They have emerald green eyes. Ilex is also shorter than the average LeafWing, about two inches smaller. She also has a slim, frail build.
=== Personality ===
----Ilex is a rather quiet and anti-social dragon. She rarely speaks to others, and when she does it's mostly to herself. They would rather make tea then strike up a conversation. They can be very insecure at times and feel like they can't do anything, especially when speaking to someone else. Ilex feels restricted to her abilities, and would give anything to have Leafspeak. 
=== Backstory ===
----Ilex hatched in the Poison Jungle, about three years before the events of The Lost Continent. Her life started out pretty normal. Loving parents. Great area. No poisonous plants. They eventually moved out of the SapWing village, moving to an area a mile away from Hawthorn's. Her parents have faint Leafspeak, so they used it together to help clear away a few poisonous plants. When they finally settled down, Ilex's father, Shadebush, left home for a while to look for food. He didn't return for a few days, so Butternut, Ilex's mother, went searching for him. She eventually came back saying that he was dead in a Giant Pitcherplant, which broke Ilex's heart. They didn't leave home for a week or so, and Ilex learned to make tea unexpectedly one day. She soon had an affection for gardening with her mothers help, as well as being able to make excellent tea. A few years later, Butternut got trapped in a Venus Dragontrap. Ilex attempted to save her but with no avail, swearing that she could have done it with Leafspeak. Her mother died that night, making Ilex start living in isolation.
