Cephalotus

Cephalotus is a female LeafWing dragonet and the main deuteragonist of The Fall of the Continent. Formerly one of the 20 captured Leafspeaks in the Factory Caverns, she is now a stowaway in the Poison Jungle. She currently resides as a nomad after the death of her deceased brother, holding no type of relationship with any dragon after formerly having a romantic attraction to Apefly. Her current status is unknown.
== Description ==
Cephalotus is described to have light, lime green and dark pink scales with dark red-pink on her back, sail, and arms and a slightly darker green snout. Her talons are a dark jade green, flecks of the same color among her dark pink to lime fade wings. Her scales fleck a whiteish-green like buried green pearls in slime. The tips of her sail, snout, legs, and tail fade to a darkish purple inflicted with pink in that of resembling the actual Cephalotus plant. Her underbelly is a saturated grey-pink with stripes of white and light lime green. Her eyes are a bright amber like that of actual fossilized amber.
She has a ragged posture alongside being skinny and underfed. She is fairly small, being tinier than the average LeafWing but being slightly bigger than Apefly. She was a long wingspan and broad shoulders and thighs which is often described as "strange" or "weird" by most SilkWings. She has a long thin neck and a stubby tail that can grasp objects easily. Cephalotus wears a collection of leaf and vine made pouches, many holding trinkets while one strapped to her chest held the secondary key to the Temple of History in which she had stolen when she was a of younger age. Apefly thinks of her as charming and probably about the most beautiful LeafWing she ever saw. Agrippa describes her as small and weak, less fit for a Leafspeak prisoner much less a servant. 
== Personality ==
At the beginning on The Fall of the Continent, Cephalotus was described as the picky troublemaker whom deserved to be put down whatsoever. Cephalotus believes those who wish to stay imprisoned are weak and less likely to survive any war or no war at all. She tried to stay focused to escape, looking for that of freedom instead of the better side in the SilkWing's rule over the hives. She hated to think of herself as a servant, much less a prisoner and was rather tempted to be free no matter how many beatings she received in the process. She is persistent, refusing to give in when she is unable to finish what she started.
She gets uncomfortable around HiveWings, feeling they might've done worse if set to be in charge. She has social anxiety and despises crowds, specifically SilkWing crowds, and feels waves of anxiousness when surrounded or extremely close to others that isn't her captivator or family and friends. She dislikes those who fight against her and often wants to take charge, even if someone else is already doing so. She believes the world evolves around her choices but refuses to show she's under pressure, and will fight to say her word if necessary. Cephalotus feels that battle is not always needed, but no matter what- fight or no fight- that she is a dangerous dragon and at some point deserved to be held captive. She takes every situation seriously and demands her words be heard when she is ignored during arguments or conflicts. 
She speaks her mind even if it effects those around her without the slightest care, and is always trying to make a plan. When things turn south, she panics or feels infuriated and pins it on others and refuses to admit she made mistakes. She often makes poor choices and is easily manipulated when others have more glory or leadership then her. She is untrustworthy, disobedient, snappish, and demanding. She always envies attention and wants things her way all the time without question of what others want.

==Relationships==
===Arbor===
Cephalotus cares deeply for her brother even though he constantly annoyed her with his weak behavior and will for things to stay the same. She sees him as foolish and too caring for his own good. Their neutral relationship with each other only twines together with the fact that they only have each other as family since their parent's deaths. Cephalotus was deeply wounded in a mental state when she watched her brother die to a masked SilkWing hybrid and vowed to his body that she would destroy the killer and those who stood in her way, including Apefly. His death caused her to backlash at others, having distrust to anyone around her.
She often felt better looking down at her brother when he lived, believing she wasn't out of place when she panicked or worried. Arbor's presence always seemed to tame her anger, repelling outbursts or attacks that she desired to do. She had a weak spot for family, explaining why she was so hurt to be alone after his death.
=== Apefly ===
Cephalotus, formerly having an attraction of romance toward him, despises the SilkWing for all that he is. Every so often, she would prove her crush by affectionately teasing or nuzzling him. Apefly briefly proved to at some point share the feelings by shielding her from attack or the sun, or standing up for her when others criticized her emotionally. She forgot what loving him felt like and avoided him when he tried to stop her from seeking out Arbor's murder. She feels like he's the same as the other SilkWings, sarcastic, demanding, bossy, snarky, and careless. She viewed him as selfish that he tried to stop her from avenging her brother, thinking he only cared that the tribal hybrid stayed alive much more than her. 
When she cared for him, she would often pretend he was flawless and act as if he made no mistakes. She denied he was a SilkWing as she felt her love for him was to strong and always seeked out for the brighter side of his actions. She felt calmer around him and talked sweetly to him, bribing him to take her path instead. When she forced her leadership in search for Agrippa, she partnered herself with Apefly so they could bond while the others plainly searched. When he came around, she felt outburst of energy seep into her and just the mention of his name made her dream. Arbor could tell whenever she thought of him, she was daydreaming of peace instead of her consistent war-thirsty nature.
=== Agrippa ===
Cephalotus hates Agrippa, despising her every action. She finds the female SilkWing annoying, pushy, and demanding and is often raged around her when Arbor is no where to be seen. She believes it is odd that Agrippa and Apefly are related in some way, thinking the dependent SilkWings are complete opposites. Some points in time she denies Agrippa's existence and wasn't to willing to search for her, despite Arbor's pleading.
