Dauber (✨)

Dauber is an adult female HiveWing who resides in the Leafsilk Queendom. Dauber grew up and went to school in Jewel Hive, and once aspired to be a miner. She is a business owner and jewelry maker, and the founder of Clearsight's Wonder. She adopted two dragonets, Scarlet and Click, and lives a stable, wealthy lifestyle. Under Queen Wasp's reign, she was one of the very few HiveWings who could not be mind controlled.
==Description==
Dauber is fairly thin, but much shorter than the local HiveWings. She has an orange-red complexion, with lighter, goldish scales on parts of her face and talons. She has dark rust-colored stripes from her neck to tail, with plated, ridges scales on her head and spine that are dark red that almost looks black. The plated, ridged scales on her arms also have some of the same dark red color as well. Dauber has chestnut brown wings with sputters of black, and iridescence that coats it with colors of a sunrise sky. Dauber's horns and spines are straight and angular, and her eyes are a bright, inspiring turquoise, which is a rare eye color for her tribe. 
 
==Personality==
Dauber is calmly optimistic, with a calm aura surrounding her. She is considered to be very art-smart and she has talent and skill when it comes to crafting jewelry. Dauber is normally open minded these days, but she used to hate learning new things as a dragonet. Dauber is almost instant to respond to her name and has a good moral compass thinking the LeafWings didn't deserve to die out, however she keeps her opinions to herself. Dauber has a minor temper, and she loves talking about gemstones. So much so, she often never stops unless the other dragon shuts her up when talking. Dauber gets excited easily, especially when learning something new about her gemstones she so much so loves. Dauber is slightly immature, and sometimes can be blindingly loyal to dragons, even if they are not her real friends and are just using her. Dauber is a little obsessive, and sometimes during her obsessive spurts she is ignorant and rude. Normally, however, she is kind, fair, considerate and helpful.
==Biography ==
<tabber>
|-|Dragonethood=
Dauber hatched to two middle class HiveWings who kept her egg with them, however was put up for adoption shortly after they discovered she could not be mind controlled and they figured out they would not be able to raise Dauber carefully. She was adopted by a HiveWing couple who could not be mind controlled as well. From a young age, she always hyperfixated on things, especially gemstones, and she often made bead and string bracelets and necklaces for her fathers. As a dragonet, Dauber was one of the few who were permitted to be homeschooled because it was difficult for her to learn, although the primary reason was because of her inability to be controlled by Queen Wasp. Growing up, she didn't have many friends or experience in the world of the hives, although she never really minded and was content with her two dads and their SilkWing "servant" Purple Mint. 
|-|Upbringing=
Dauber always had an obsession and fascination with gemstones. From a young age she always made jewelry out of beads and strings, and would be attracted to shiny, colorful things. She did very well being homeschooled before applying for Jewel Hive University to learn 3D arts and crafting jewelry, as well as how to run a business. She graduated from there at the age of 12, and She moved out of her parents' house shortly after. She purchased an apartment in an average neighborhood a floor above the Glitterbazaar. Dauber managed to get a job as a chef at a restaurant, and worked there for around a year, while crafting and selling jewelry on the side. Dauber eventually purchased a shop space and she set up there. She named the shop Clearsight's Wonder, where she and her jewelry products became mainstream. Dauber, over the years, slowly expanded throughout the hive, and hired other dragons, including Amogus.
|-|The Othermind=
Dauber, when the Othermind took over Pantala, was flourishing and was doing very well with her shop and financial situation. She was considering expanding to the rest of the hives, before the Othermind took control of most of the dragons on Pantala. She was one of the very few HiveWings to not get controlled, and she fled to the very southeastern bit of Pantala, far away from where others could find her. Dauber stayed there for awhile even after the Othermind was defeated, before noticing the Leafsilk Queendom becoming a thing, where she eventually moved to one of their major establishments and met dragons from all sorts of tribes, many of whom she befriended.
|-|The Aftermath=
Shortly after moving to the Leafsilk Queendom and being granted a home, Dauber adopted two HiveWing eggs that were luckily salvaged from a burning Bloodworm Hive. Dauber settled in and adjusted to the new life in the Leafsilk Queendom, and eventually revisited Jewel Hive to gather her belongings, sell her home and lend the main Jewel Hive establishment of Clearsight's Wonder to Amogus before visiting her two fathers and their now roommate Purple Mint, and introducing them to the eggs she adopted. 
Once she returned home, Dauber's adopted eggs hatched and she continued to expand her business, Clearsight's Wonder. Currently, her business is flourishing, and she is content with her two dragonets, Scarlet and Click.

==Relations==
===Amogus===
Dauber and Amogus are close friends. They worked at Clearsight's Wonder together, and outside of work, they hung out and went to restaraunts, gardens and the Art Scene to do activities together. They also liked to talk and gossip among each other, but despite how close they were, Dauber was hesitant to tell Amogus how she feels or certain things due to the fear of Queen Wasp potentially being able to dig through Amogus' memories. Dauber was also very observant and concerned about Amogus and worried for her privacy and mental health because of the mind control (Which Dauber found frequent, but that was because Amogus was mind controlled at all while SilkWings and herself weren't). When Amogus was mind controlled, Dauber would typically retreat to her home or the back of the shop in fear. Despite Dauber's paranoia and worry for Amogus, Dauber still trusted Amogus a lot, and even gave her the key and ownership of the Jewel Hive location of Clearsight's Wonder.
===Chitin===
Even though Dauber and Chitin don't know each other well, Dauber dislikes Chitin because of his cruelty and grumpiness. However, she does look up to his business and his success, and she paid him frequent visits at his coffee shop when she lived in Jewel Hive. Whenever they spoke, they typically discussed Clearsight's Wonder and whether or not it was flourishing as a company.
===Purple Mint===
Positive
===Scarlet and Click===
Scarlet and Click are Dauber's adopted dragonets, and one of her pride and joys. Adopting their eggs shortly after she moved to the LeafSilk Queendom, she adopted them from a HiveWing refugee couple because they didn't feel secure or safe enough to raise them themselves. Dauber loves and takes care of them at all times, and if she isn't home, is very sure to find and pick out the best dragonetsitters for them. Dauber likes to keep their lives private, despite them being hatchlings, but likes to talk about them whenever she feels like she can or it's safe to.
