<tabber>
|-|Canon=
Pancake is a protagonist of When the Trees Stood and an oc  belonging to Fennecthesandwing21. Please do not steal Pancake, the art, or any coding. The coding is by Julesandherbooks.The original ref of Pancake is by Butterflydragon666.
Relationship requests are ok, but keep in mind that Pancake is from a fanfiction and therefore may not be open to relationships with dragons that do not fit her circumstances.
The fanfiction in which Pancake is a protagonist, When the Trees Stood, is set in Pantala before the Tree Wars. The plot revolves around the dragonets, in particular Plum, Pancake, Madrona and Cinnamon, who have been sent to Leafbud Academy in the hope of forming a bond between the tribes and therefore helping to lessen the tension between the dragons of Pantala.
==Appearance==
Pancake has an unusual appearance, and has grown used to stared and whispers over the years. Mostly, her scales are a pale doughy colour fading into a darker sort of tan colour in places like her wings and head. The dappled scales on her chest and underbelly are a vivid array of dark golds, russets, blues, and purples, standing out like a sunset against her pale sandy underbelly. Pancake's wing membranes and legs are a light gold with gleaming red scales lining the edges of her legs and covering her shoulders. On the main curve of her wing membrane, the colouring darkens to russet, fading back to light gold on her membranes. Her actual wings are the colour of tropical sand, a pale yellow-gold colour that is only slightly darker than her underscales. Blueberry coloured scales are splattered across her wings, and trickles of reddish brown scales like drizzles of syrup stream down from the wing membrane. Her eyes are a sparkling gold colour and her horns are a dark chocolate brown. Her ruff is a pale hazel colour which is streaked by occasional white patches of scales.
Pancake occasionally wears a thin bracelet woven from straw on her wrist. It has a few drops of crystallized sap, or amber, embedded between the straw, and was given to Pancake by Sap.
Her pale dough coloured scales will darken when wet, and if it's raining, Pancake will often appear to change colour scale by scale. She tries to avoid getting her scales wet as a result of this, and believes it makes her look even uglier.
Pancake's face is usually set in a nervous, shy, or simple hidden expression. Because of this part of her appearance, most dragons accept her as one of those boring, shy dragons, and think of her nervousness as her main trait. Her expressions, however, can often hide her feelings and other aspects of her Personality very well. Despite her almost constant expression of a wrinkled brow and wide eyes, sometimes a faint sparkle of intelligence is visible in her gaze. This feature is most prominent when Pancake is concentrating on something, like a book or a problem which she's trying to solve.
==Personality==
Pancake is a shy, quiet dragon who would rather curl up and read a book than socialise with anyone. She used to be mocked for her odd colouring and unsociable personality, and has never really grown used to being surrounded by others, or having friends.
In some ways, she is similar to Cricket. Pancake is very curious and always wants to know more about the world, and was mistreated by her parents, then left to be taken care of mostly by her older sister. However, instead of asking questions Pancake prefers to read or find the answers herself. She doesn't talk much to others, and when she does it is usually only to answer a question or to say something essential. 
Despite not really talking to other dragons, Pancake is quite intelligent. Not many dragons know this, as they have either never looked at her close enough to realise or because she just hasn't demonstrated her intelligence. She enjoys little challenges like maths sums or projects, which she can focus her mind on and forget about anything bad going on in the meantime.
As well as being shy and quiet, Pancake suffers from mental conditions which make her doubt herself, her actions, make her think people hate her, and make her constantly worried about what others are thinking about her. Her conditions haven't been identified yet, but some of the most likely conditions are Autism and Depression, both of which Pancake occasionally shows symptoms of.
Pancake, if a dragon manages to become her friend, is a kind and loyal dragon. She would never hurt a fly, and cares for any friends she has greatly. One of her main priorities is to keep the few dragons she really loves safe, and Pancake will go to unusually great lengths to do this.
==History==
WIP
Pancake grew up in one of the many LeafWing villages scattered in the forest that covered Pantala before the Tree Wars. Her parents, Elderflower and her father, never paid her attention, embarrassed by her strange appearance and unsociable personality. As a result, Pancake developed a high awareness of her actions and appearance, and was conscious of how other dragons saw her throughout her life.
She was taken care of by her sister Sap, who she shared a small treehouse with.
==Abilities==
Only Pancake's few close friends and her sister, Sap, know about her power of leafspeak. Before she became a student at Leafbud Academy, plants were Pancake's only friends. Despite not having a particularly good ability to communicate with them, she could use her leafspeak to see the world through the plants, and would sometimes manage to encourage some plants to grow for her.
After meeting Madrona, a LeafWing with strong leafspeak, at the academy, Pancake began to wonder why her powers were so weak. Madrona was not afraid to display her powers to all the other dragons, a trait which Pancake admired greatly. Madrona was the second dragon Pancake told about her leafspeak, second only to Sap. She asked for the more advanced LeafWing to teach her how to use her powers like she did, and so Madrona guided her on how to speak to the plants and make them follow her command. Although Pancake's skills in leafspeak never quite reached Madrona's high level, they improved greatly during the course of Pancake's time at the academy.
Pancake is also a brilliant writer. She views the fictional worlds of books as ways to escape the real world, and often wishes she was in one of the amazing universes in the pages of her books. She first started to write when she was 2, secretly scribbling down her ideas on a piece of silk paper. Soon, she had come up with a hoard of ideas and stories, all of which she stashed away behind a piece of loose bark in the tree house she lived in with her sister. When Sap was told she was to be sent away to fight in the tree wars, which were at that point only just beginning, Pancake was told she had three days to prepare to be sent away herself, to Leafbud Academy. While doing so, she accidentally dropped her bundle of papers, and when her mother caught sight of them, she burned them. Pancake developed a fear of fire, and lost her urge to write, until Plum noticed her talent with words and asked where her talent had come from.
==Relationships==
Plum:
Plum was the first dragon Pancake met at the academy. She admired her shining purple scales and wished she could be as beautiful as her. Plum's fiery temper slightly scared Pancake, and at first she was wary of Plum. At the end of her first day at the academy, Pancake discovered she was sharing a treehouse with Plum. They got to know each other during their sleepless first night, and after that Plum helped introduce Pancake to some of the others. During their time together, they developed a special bond, and have been together ever since.
Sap:
Sap is Pancake's sister, only slightly older but clearly the one in charge. 
==Trivia==
• Pancake is named after the food, pancakes! Her appearance is based off them! But, since it's not a very LeafWing-ish name, for all those critical people I'll confirm that there is actually a plant called a pancake plant. So technically her name is a LeafWing name!
• Books have always been a kind of escape for Pancake, and she often wishes she was one of the characters in her stories. She sometimes jots down the adventures she imagines herself having as stories.
• Pancake's original designer, Butterfly, thinks she's ugly. >:(
• Pancake is similar to Cricket, but does not share her enthusiastic, loud personality or appearance.
|-|FoodWing=
WIP
The non-canon version of Pancake is the Queen of the FoodWings! FoodWings are a subspecies of LeafWing created by Fennecthesandwing21 and Floodcaller.
==Appearance==
Queen Pancake, unlike her canon counterpart, is often praised for her close resemblance to her spirit food. Mostly, her scales are a pale doughy colour fading into a darker sort of tan colour in places like her wings and head. The dappled scales on her chest and underbelly are a vivid array of dark golds, russets, blues, and purples, standing out like a sunset against her pale sandy underbelly. Pancake's wing membranes and legs are a light gold with gleaming red scales lining the edges of her legs and covering her shoulders. On the main curve of her wing membrane, the colouring darkens to russet, fading back to light gold on her membranes. Her actual wings are the colour of tropical sand, a pale yellow-gold colour that is only slightly darker than her underscales. Blueberry coloured scales are splattered across her wings, and trickles of reddish brown scales like drizzles of syrup stream down from the wing membrane. Her eyes are a sparkling gold colour and her horns are a dark chocolate brown. Her ruff is a pale hazel colour which is streaked by occasional white patches of scales.
Pancake occasionally wears a thin bracelet woven from straw on her wrist. It has a few drops of crystallized sap, or amber, embedded between the straw, and was given to Pancake by Lady Cinnamon. She also wears the pretzel crown during official public events and celebrations. The pretzel crown is the crown of the FoodWings, and is a woven headpiece made of gold dusted pretzels.
Her pale dough coloured scales will darken when wet, and if it's raining, Pancake will often appear to change colour scale by scale. She tries to avoid getting her scales wet as a result of this, as she believes soggy pancakes are not as nice, and does not wish to bear a resemblance to one.
Queen Pancake usually has a cheerful, content smile on her face. Her tribe is a kind, peaceful tribe, and like most of her subjects, the only thing that will wipe away the sparkle in her eyes is if her tribe is in danger.
==Personality==
Queen Pancake is a loyal, kind ruler whose main purpose is to keep her tribe happy and safe. She enjoys touring Pancake Island to visit the villages her tribe have set up and to bring joy to all of her dragons. 
==History==
Pancake used to be just a normal LeafWing. A SapWing, afraid of fighting because she knew that in war, dragons would be hurt. So when the PoisonWings began to burn down the Hives, Pancake led a large group of LeafWings away to an island, later named Pancake Island, where they would be safe.
==Abilities==
Queen Pancake is one of the only dragons to have leafspeak in the FoodWing tribe. Most leafspeaks remained on Pantala when Pancake and her tribe left. 
As a result, despite only having weak leafspeak, Pancake is looked up to because of her powers. She only ever uses them to help her tribe. Some examples of use are speaking to the plants to weave themselves into shelters for the dragons, and making their fruit ripen early.
==Relationships==
Lady Waffle: Lady Waffle is Queen Pancake's royal advisor, second in command, and her close friend. 
Lady Plum: Lady Plum is Pancake's girlfriend. Plum is in charge of defenses, food production, and planning cities, villages, and other building projects. 
==Trivia==
• Queen Pancake loves eating pancakes.
• The canon version of Pancake is almost the exact opposite to Queen Pancake in personality.
• Though the canon version is named after the pancake plant, the FoodWing Pancake is named after the food.
