History
Yara's mother, Citrine, believed the rumors. She believed that the LeafWings were still alive, somewhere, living in the uncharted jungle in northwestern Pantala. So she fled. Fled towards the Poison Jungle, or where she believed it was. After days of traveling, she finally reached it. There she met the first and last LeafWing she would ever see. 
His name was Oleander, and he was almost as shocked to see her as she was to see him. At first, he was hostile, demanding why she'd come and insisting on making sure that no one had followed her or come with her. 
Two weeks later, he finally let her into his hut. At first he was hesitant, still suspicious of her and her motives for arriving here. But she had gained enough of his trust by now. 
For five years the two lived undisturbed, happily and calmly. They had two wonderful daughters, Bindi and Sketch, and a son, Skipper. While Citrine knew the risks of returning to the Hives, she knew that she had to go back. Leaving their children in Oleander's care, she set off for her birthplace, Jewel Hive. 
Her family and friends were shocked and amazed to see her. After five years of living in the Poison Jungle, she was very thin and covered with scratches. Her wings had small tears, and one plant's sharp thorns had left deep nicks above her left eye. She knew that if she revealed the truth about where she had been and what she had been doing, she would be killed. 
She claimed that she had wandered too far one day and gotten lost, and that she had fell in love with a lone SilkWing on her quest to return to the Hives. She could tell some didn't believe her story, but then again, they had no evidence of her visit to the Poison Jungle. 
A year later, she had another dragonet, this time with a SilkWing. Though she didn't truly love him as she had loved Oleander, she wanted to convince others of her loyalty to the Hives and the SilkWings. 
Meanwhile, Oleander was growing worried. He appreciated spending time with his dragonets, playing with them and teaching them and watching them grow, but it had been over a year since Citrine had left. He doubted if she really loved him or not. 
Citrine was thinking the same thing. She hadn't forgotten about Oleander. She knew that he still loved her and was worried about her by now. 
The next night, Yara grasped tightly against her chest, she snuck away and headed towards her true home. 
Little did she know, she was being followed. Her brother, Bogong, had never believed her claims of getting lost and falling in love with a SilkWing. He knew her too well to believe that she was telling the truth. 
Just half a day before she reached Oleander's hut, Bogong ambushed her, snarling in her ear and demanding the truth. Terrified and breathless, Citrine admitted everything. 
Shocked that the LeafWings weren't extinct and horrified that his own sister had fallen in love with one, he slashed her throat and fled towards the Hives. 
Shuddering and sobbing, Yara laid beside their mother as she died. Though they were only moons old, they knew that something horrible had happened to their mother and there was nothing they could do. 
Growing more and more worried, Oleander decided to search for Citrine. He hadn't gotten very far when he saw an orange shape on the ground and a pale white shape next to it. Horrified and disgusted, Oleander landed beside Citrine's body and her crying dragonet. 
With the help of his dragonets, Oleander transported Citrine's body to his hut and buried her. Naming the dragonet Yara, Oleander raised them alongside their half siblings. 
Yara's siblings were very kind and patient, and they learned a lot from them. One day, a few days after Yara turned four, Oleander disappeared into the jungle and did not return. After moons of searching and grieving, Yara and their siblings finally accepted the fact that he was gone. 
Soon after their sixth birthday, Yara realized how they felt about their identity and pronouns. Realizing that they much preferred they/them pronouns and neutral terms to masculine pronouns and terms, they experimented with the term non-binary. It fit for a while, until they figured out that they didn't feel as if they had a gender identity at all. After moons of agonizing over labels, they once again found a label that fit. After a few more days of musing over their identity, they decided to come out to their siblings. Their siblings were extremely supportive and offered to help in any way that they could, and for that Yara was extremely grateful.

Relationships
Bindi: Yara feels comfortable telling Bindi anything. Though they trust and love all their siblings, Bindi was always the most patient, the most kind, the most understanding. Yara loves Bindi's optimism and seemingly boundless joy, and admires her strength, wits, and intelligence. 
Sketch: Yara is incredibly impressed by Sketch's artistic talent, and Sketch is the sister who taught them how to draw and paint. Sketch and Yara also share a love of plants and animals, which they like to obsess over daily. 
Skipper: Yara has always admired their brother for his athletic skill. They love hunting and climbing with Skipper. 
Oleander: Yara admires their father for taking care of them and their siblings. 
Citrine: While Yara only spend a few moons with their mother, they admired her will and loyalty to Oleander. Though they don't believe that some of her decisions were the best, they understand that love can't always be controlled.
