Diptera (Angel)

Diptera is property of Angel, theft or claiming of it will not be allowed, as well as unpermitted editing (Mods or those adding content categories are, as always, excused). He is the embodiment of one of the seven deadly sins, being Gluttony. 
== Description ==
"Oh, how I just love to be so stunning, colors and patterns like I've never dreamed of!"
Diptera appears much like your normal HiveWing. Their body shape closely resembles the insect tribe. However, where things differ can be seen in Diptera's wings, mostly. They have six delicate wings instead of four. They are also, noticeably, fluffy. Diptera's eyes appear somewhat sunken from the long stretches of time they go without rest, and they have heavy bags under their eyes (which they of course cover with magic or makeup). Despite this, they're very plump and huge compared to most dragons.
His scales are a vibrant lemon yellow scattered with stripes of black around his legs, but with softer green scales edging in around his spine and the edges of his scales. Diptera's wings are clear, but with thin lines of a bright gold color tracing his veins. He has bunches of fluff that are a soft pink color around his neck and legs, like cotton candy wrapped around him. 
Along with her already bright colors, Diptera also goes heavy on jewelry and accessories. She has many earrings, most of them gold or silver and studded with gems, along with thin, dangly bracelets on all of her legs. She also has a few tail bands, and an ornate headpiece that looks like a crown adorned with all sorts of jeweled insects of all colors. Diptera has gems embedded along her wings, a few wing piercings, and more gems embedded along the sides of her body. She often paints her claws with bright colors.
== Personality ==
"Stop thinking! Let your heart guide you to what you truly want!"
Diptera is . . . a lot to unpack. Throughout everything, they're constantly loud. Quiet and timid are two words that you could never use to describe them. In everything they do, they give it 110%-For better or for worse. Their excessive attitude and behavior seems to spread around them as well, almost like an aura of more that they have. Diptera always wants everyone to give everything their all, and isn't good at reading rooms to tell when they don't want their hyperness around. They drag other dragons into things and encourage everyone heavily for anything. 
To him, bigger is always better. Dragons who act collected and reserved find themselves facing down their exact opposite, a dragon who lives for the moment. He treats every day like it could be his last, even though Diptera is almost a true immortal. Nothing hides behind his emotions, and he doesn't try to hide the way he feels about a situation. He acts according to how he feels, and he does whatever his heart desires.
Diptera is well-known for her love of parties, and always seems to be looking for an excuse to have one. She'd rather exhaust herself setting up and hosting a party than let a night go by when she could be doing something. She's often working herself to near-death, spending all her energy in the tasks she does and then passing out afterwards. Despite this, Diptera doesn't bother trying to change anything, and prefers living the way she does currently.
== History ==
"Oh, I won't dwell on it. Or anything, really!"
Diptera's past, like the other sins, is shrouded in mystery. Much of it is unknown, other than that they were created long ago, possibly with time itself, by Mother Genesis. Diptera themselves is unsure of their past and prefers not to dwell on it.
== Relationships ==
(+) indicates that the relationship is positive. (-) indicates that the relationship is negative. No symbol indicates that the relationship is neutral.
"I'll be, if it hasn't been such a long time! Wonderful to see you!"
=== Nightmare ===
The Sins of Wrath and Gluttony tend not to get along the best. However, Diptera does see her as an extreme, the violent and ruthless tendencies Nightmare leans towards being pleasing to him. At the same time, Nightmare manages to hold mysteries about her and can be quiet, which is the exact opposite of what Diptera likes. Diptera additionally finds Nightmare overly mean sometimes, to dragons that don't deserve it, and Nightmare isn't fond of Diptera's parties. 
=== Void (+) ===
Diptera absolutely loves Void, seeing him as a soft little brother that she wants to protect and keep safe. She doesn't like that he questions his place in life so much, and additionally doesn't like the fact he's so reserved and quiet, but overall Diptera wants the best for Void. She finds his humor on point, and tries to make her own jokes back (However, they tend to be awful). She also makes a lot of comments, quips, or jokes about Void's size, though. Diptera clearly misses him, and wishes he'd be happier to see her sometimes.
=== Calla (+) ===
Lust and Gluttony make a pair, at least to Diptera. They find Calla's mannerisms quite on the extreme end, and when the two are around each other Diptera will often make comments to stress this to him. Their parties seem to make Calla bring his A-game and end up being fun and satisfying for both of them. They try to encourage Calla to stop being the calming force around dragons, but conversations between the dragons seem to have Calla leave Diptera at least a little less hyper (For a time, anyway).
=== Silver ===
Diptera finds her excessive behavior, the pride that she carries, admirable and seems to gorge herself on the moments where Silver really goes the extra mile to live up to the sin she is. However, their relationship isn't the best, due to the simple fact that Silver is selfish and vain. Diptera wants his relationship with her to be better, but her attitude and rudeness often drive Diptera away. Furthermore, Silver doesn't like his parties, since Diptera becomes the center of attention instead of her.
=== Sloth (-) ===
Possibly the only dragon Diptera truly dislikes. Sloth, as the name implied, does nothing, and while that is an excess of something, it's in a different direction than Diptera wanted it to go. She wants dragons to be active, encourage them, bring out all sides of them at once and make the moments thrive with motion and life. And Sloth simply . . . doesn't meet that perfect idea of hers. It's enough to make Sloth one of the few dragons Diptera won't talk to unless forced.
=== Desire (+) ===
Desire and Diptera are like two peas in a pod, the same way you'd find Greed and Gluttony, after all. They both have an extreme fondness of parties, and the two see eye-to-eye on nearly everything. Trying to get them to stop anything is like trying to put brakes on a runaway train, or herding cats. They both bring out hyperness and excitability in one another, and spend plenty of time with each other as well. They love their little 'sister' and the two also love glitter.
=== Hypnos (+, Fanon) ===
Diptera met Hypnos in an interesting way: She simply went sleep-deprived for long enough that the paralysis demon of the dragon world showed up for her (or at least, that's how she tells it). After initially being seemingly brushed off, further encounters with Hypnos provided both of them with a much-needed true friend. Diptera, being such a lively and outgoing dragon, is able to bring Hypnos out of his reclusive and mysterious shell and try to give him a true life to live. In return, Hypnos attempts to persuade her to take better care of herself (sleeping instead of partying, remembering to eat and drink, mainly the sleep thing though), and while much of his advice goes ignored, he does seem to hold some voice of reason in Diptera's mind. She almost views him and his unique abilities like another sibling, though saying such in front of him may not have the best results.
== Trivia ==
-While Gluttony is typically associated with food, Diptera is not any kind of food-motivated dragon. She does, however, love to cook, and her cooking knows no mild flavor.
-Diptera is one of the larger dragons in the Seven Deadly Sins, only being smaller than Calla.
-Diptera does feed off of emotions of others, and has unique taste descriptions for each emotion. Joy tastes light and warm; Sorrow tastes bitter; Anger tastes hot and spicy; Fear tastes sweet (but has a tang); Passion tastes very sweet; Pain tastes sour and sharp; Jealously tastes salty; and Hatred tastes awful. 
-Diptera seems to have an odd personification of the Seven Deadly Sins that is separate from the dragons she considers their siblings. Notably, he never talks to Void when trying to make him come back, but talks to Envy specifically. 
-Through an almost psychic attunement to the world, Diptera can sense whenever strong emotion is gathering at any place across the continents. Through this, they can also sense wherever the other Sins and Virtues are.
-Diptera can be considered an opposite to Achromatic
-Diptera, notably, is horrible at practicing self-care and is often sleep-deprived or dehydrated from their intense lifestyle. Interestingly, she never goes hungry when she has emotions to feed on.
