"My... my...? Oh, no, it's really fine."
==Appearance==
The very first thing about this particular dragonet is his lack of wings.
He is highly bothered by this fact, and constantly blames his lack of friends on the fact he isn't able to participate in most games his age group engage in. (Almost all of them utilizing flight.) 
Another thing about him is his scale coloration and build.
Taisho's scales clash a fair amount, some being vibrant orange, while others being a slightly more dull blue. He is very unbothered by this.
He has the lean build of a Sandwing, however he is slightly shorter, like a Silkwing.
His legs are also well-muscled like his Skywing ancestor's. 
Taisho is hunched over a fair amount of the time, and other dragons get the impression he is self-conscience, anxiety riddled, and prone to stuttering.
"I wish anything I said I was... heard? By, anyone. For it all to be different."
==Personality==
Those assumptions are correct, for the most part. 
The dragonet is not fond of social events, and prefers hiding in his room till the sun goes away or sleeping in a tree like Rainwings do.
There is a part of him that likes to adventure, likes to explore forests, and be one with nature. 
From a relatively young age, he's also had a fascination with Scavengers and their traditions, even though he's been told time and time again that they'd attack him first-sight.
He has yet to meet/befriend one of the strange beings. 
One last thing about Taisho is that since his boyfriend had died, he began to organize things. Like events, and memorials while never actually attending them. 
The tribrid has written articles before, letting his acquaintances read them instead of him.
"I- I'm really, you wouldn't want me to give a speech, I'm bad at public speaking."
==Strengths/Weaknesses==
His strengths and weaknesses all have to do with emotions.
He is able to hold himself together during intense heartbreak and tragedy, but at the same time have a panic attack at the thought of talking to more than three dragons at a time.
It takes a while for Taisho to warm up to someone else, which many have criticized him about. But honestly, he couldn't help it. One of his last relationships cut him off and out of their life within seconds. He didn't want that to happen again.
A strength that the dragonet has is a way with throwing together words.
If you really dig through his jumble of words strung together to make a somewhat coherent sentence, then you'll find yourself with a message. The message can range from to telling you to keep going, to not judge others before you’ve really met them, love yourself so you can properly protect and love others, etc.
"He was there, he showed me that I mattered, to someone, and uh... I just wish I could have given that feeling to him."
==History/Bio==
-Taisho was hatched to Kan’yo and her ex-husband. He lived in a small town on the edge of the Rainforest, bordering the Sky Kingdom. 
-His parents argued constantly, his mother being out at work most of the time, leaving his father to care for him. 
-One winter day, Taisho’s father left him and his mother. Apparently he had actual family in the Sand Kingdom. 
-He grew up without a major father figure, and almost zero friends.
-Taisho gained anxiety in his slightly later dragonet years, making it very difficult for him to connect with other dragonets.
-He also grew very self-conscious around this time.
-There was a light at this point in his life though. He met Castor at an event, and the two became friends very quickly. 
-They hung out a lot, and did a lot of things together. They also talked to each other about their mental health burdens. Castor had a severe personality disorder that got misdiagnosed as a mood disorder. (He was put on the wrong meds, treated improperly, etc.)
-Taisho believed that he himself was getting better, now he had someone to talk to, and someone who understood. 
-Eventually, they fell in love and began dating.
-On one date in a forest, Taisho fell into a depressive state and let go of the branch he was climbing. 
-Castor made a jump to save him, as the fall would have surely ended his life. Being as the tribrid has no wings. He ended up breaking an arm instead of dying.
-His boyfriend signed it, and the two started their last year of school together.
-It was nice, until eventually, Castor went missing. It was later found out that he ended his own life. 
-Taisho was obviously devastated, just like Castor’s mother. She wanted to know why, because he had seemed to be getting better while the two were dating.
-He really didn’t know why either, because his boyfriend was definitely looking like he was feeling better.
-So dragons didn’t forget him, and so he could help dragons across the continen, he reached out to Lanus and started a project.
-He wrote essays and speeches for the project but he never actually spoke them, as public speaking was not his strong suit. 
-After a while though, Taisho was convinced to try, and delivered one of the most heartfelt speeches he had ever come up with.
-His life is currently smooth-ish sailing, and he’s applied for a position as a botanis, seeing as he likes trees, and they hold a very significant meaning to him.
"No, uh, it's fine. I'll get something for myself... I guess."
==Relationships==
Castor
Positive
He wishes he knew why his boyfriend did it, and he wishes that he could have helped him more. 
Kan’yo
Positive/Neutral
His mother wasn’t really ever there for him, but he still holds her dear because she’s the only family he has left.
Lanus
Neutral/Positive
They’re co-founders. Not really friends, more like business partners. But he would be pretty upset if she went missing.
"Oh- nice, to meet you, or like, y'know."
