“why did i choose this life for myself? to prove to those no-good, snobby musicians who dared to call themselves my siblings that i can thrive without them! i couldn't stand moving from one place to another, having no true home, just the open trails. ugh... why couldn't they understand that i just wanted to settle down... no matter now. once i've reached fame, my name will be praised across pyrrhia while they'll fall into obscurity. then maybe... they'll reconsider. and come back...”- Pastel Kitten

Hatched an orphan, with no siblings, Pastel Kitten lived her youngest years an outcast, though her social skills, or lack thereof, were likely to blame for this. It would be a few lonesome years of learning from others through observation that she'd be offered an opportunity she couldn't refuse. A chance to have siblings, for a troop composed solely of unsibs that were around her age saw the young dragonet alone and figured they should offer. Pastel Kitten was quick to join, to no longer live out her days alone. And throughout her childhood, she lived contentedly, following the guidance of her older siblings, though she ended up bonding the most with her new bigwings, as he was reliable, intelligent, and understanding.

“ah, how wonderful it must feel to be in love... to know someone will always be with you through thick and thin. how i long for a relationship like that... it almost hurts to think about.”- Pastel Kitten
She's certainly unique in regards to her coloration. Most commonly is she known as PK, once a member of a famous band that travels the world. It's because of this that she's so popular amongst the residents of Possibility. Gold drips from her figure, from golden necklaces to earrings to bands around her horns, spines, and legs. Pastel Kitten herself has light brown main scales in the form of thick plates across her body. Pale pastel pink follows along her back and top of her head as flat but thick plates. A cream underbelly, the bottom to her main scales in addition to the color of her legs from the shoulders down. From the shoulders and up to the wings, it's a pale light blue or purple coloration. This color is similarly seen as a thin row between Pastel Kitten's pale pink scales and her light brown ones.
In addition to this light blue or purple color, there is a light pinkish brown color, similar to a combination of her main scales color and top scales color. Much like the previously mentioned light blue, this too separates the two colors. Though this color is arguably much smaller in size to the light blue. A pale brown-cream color is seen on the front of her forelegs, going up to her wings. This color is also seen in a small row of scales that separate the light blue on her shoulders to the cream of her legs. Bright green eyes glitter like jewels, sad and broken, yet beautiful in their own rights. Pastel Kitten's horns and spines are similar in color to the scales studding her wings. A brown-cream sort of color, albeit a bit lighter in contrast. These spines are seen in the short, curved horns behind her head as well as the short spines down her back.
Her wings are large, though rather small when compared to the likes of her adoptive brother, cay, who was the bigwings when she was a part of his misfit troop. Pastel pink is the underside membrane coloration, with a much lighter rose coloration being the leathery top. This color is the same one bejeweling the wings themselves from the shoulders up, working with the light purplish blue. Burnt pink colors her wing spurs and talons, rather dark when compared to the rest of her color palette. A charming and friendly smile spreads across her face, masking the repressed loneliness she feels. Gold accessories cover body, including but not limited to two earrings, a ruby necklace, a thick band around her forearm studded in rubies and hanging fabrics. Occasionally, she might wear white capes made out of perfectly cut lace fabric, this is complimented with silver accessories instead of gold and a silver chain necklace.
Pastel Kitten's build is the only thing that doesn't stray far from the norm, with broad shoulders, flat snout with a nose on top, small but sharp ears and pudgy body. She has huge hands with thick, muscly arms, and sharp but gentle talons. A thick tail is always seen being dragged behind her, a little too heavy to always have lifted. While graceful in her own way, most would consider her clumsy and messy looking. Her talons are sometimes stained with peanut butter or various candies and an indecipherable smell. Perhaps a mixture of sweets, lilac perfume, cat fur, and freshly ironed clothes. Her face shows wear from time spent alone, eyes tired and sad, and scales that look neglected for some time. Yet she hides all this under layers of fabric and precious metals, hiding her loneliness under a fake mask of happiness.

“i'm not broken... no, no, dear, i merely need a few repairs, that's all...”- Pastel Kitten
* fear of abandonment along with loneliness. what a combination. :<
* publicly, she acts very chipper and chatty, she loves chatting it up with other people so she can have their conversations fill her mind and not her own emotional pain. plus chatting with others makes her feel less lonely. though when she stops talking with people... then the loneliness comes back tenfold.
* generally socially confident, but it depends on how she's feeling that day. if she's having a generally okay to great day, she'll be peppy as usually, but if she's having a bad day, she might clam up and not talk to people. and when she does, she's noticeably more irritable or shy.
* in constant emotional pain after literally letting go of her only support network, her siblings. she just... couldn't handle travelling places constantly, she just found it too emotionally and physically draining for her. but they didn't want to stop, offering instead that she settles down and they do what they want while staying in contact with her over mail. it's a win-win... on paper at least.
** instead it left one of them in constant emotional pain and the rest guilt-ridden and desperate to contact their sister who refuses to answer any of their letters.
* very stubborn when she has her mind on something or wishes to prove a point. it's very hard to change her mind on anything she firmly believes in or supports fully. can be stubborn to a fault and it certainly causes her a lot of problems in her social life.
* low self-esteem and self-worth, directly caused by cutting ties with her siblings that she was so emotionally dependent on. at this point she doesn't think they miss her and, on some days, believes they replaced her with a more... agreeable sister. most of these thoughts come out when she's have a particularly unfortunate day where she's making a lot of mistakes.
* overly sensitive to failure, making mistakes, and being told no. gets really down on herself when she makes mistakes, even if it's not big deal. with being told no, she's so afraid of rejection that she just... doesn't ask people to do things for her and just does them herself.
* her fear of rejection especially applies to when she's making like... friend requests and such because if she gets rejected... or if she perceives she got rejected, her loneliness intensifies. isn't sure if she's cut out for the whole friendship thing, but she feels so lonely without it.
* anxious, disorganized, and is good at following plans, but horrible at coming up with them. is painfully dependent on others to help her... but there isn't anyone who can do that for her. which leaves her more anxious and stressed, wondering what to do.
** used to rely on her siblings for help on what to do, but since they're not in her life anymore... she can't exactly turn to them anymore.
* misses her siblings... or specifically her bigwings... because she was the closest with him. but she also hates them so much and is hurt by what they did, leaving her behind, but... it feels like a part of her is missing. hates whenever she hears of any successes her siblings make because she's petty and bitter. this bitterness is what causes her to refuse to reconnect with them.
* never forgets those who have wronged her and what they did. doesn't hold it against them, but she never forgets.
----Pastel Kitten. From the happy name alone, one might suspect that the dragon with that name matches in personality. It couldn't be further from the truth, the face she shows in public is the closest one will get to meeting the happy persona a name like Pastel Kitten would show. Extroverted and lively is the MudWing dragoness, loving to socialize with others in a very friendly and cheerful manner. She usually addresses others in a rather motherly tone, usually using terms such as "love," "dear," and "darling." One would think, from how cheerful she acts, that she's happy for half the day at least. In truth, Pastel Kitten suffers in silence, dealing with abandonment issues after being abandoned by her adoptive siblings. She's rarely happy, often feeling lonely and lost when she's alone.
Work is her escapism, designing and making decorative fabrics and jewelry keeps her mind off of her mental health issues. The MudWing is a very social dragon, finding enjoyment is eavesdropping on random conversations whenever she can. This can make her seem rather nosy, shoving her nose into other people's personal drama for just the fun of it. Additionally, she's really into gossip, as long as said gossip doesn't include her relationship with a famous band traveling the world. Even the mere mention of this said band causes her to get defensive and snappy, refusing to answer any questions regarding them. She just becomes more of the emotional wreck than she already is when she actually opens up about her past with them. Whenever mentions of their success reaches her listening ears, no happiness is shown upon her face, only bitterness that motivates her to work twice as hard. As though she is competing against them in some weird competition.
Her love for romance reinforces her desire to have a relationship with someone, though the fear of rejection and the thought that no one would ever want to be in a relationship with her is the main roadblock. Due to her crippling loneliness, Pastel Kitten can come off as rather clingy and quick to become friends with others to fill the emptiness in her daily life. She seems to have a strange attachment to relationships in romance novels and wishing she could have something like that in her own life. Forever is she hopelessly in love with any pretty dragoness her age that comes into her store or even talks to her. Whenever one is to compliment her, she gets rather flustered but nevertheless appreciative, for she doesn't seem too used to receiving compliments from others.
Maternal, caring, and motherly undertones can be seen in friendships between her and others, in addition she is very physically affectionate, always embracing friends if desired. Being rather agreeable but still willing to stand up for her own opinion every now and then. Though she only acts this way with close friends and loved ones. Perhaps to not chase new friends away? It's truly unknown.

Despite her showy appearance and even showier personality, Pastel Kitten's abilities are quite grounded. With an ability to breathe fire with warm enough (though she's only ever used this to light lamps or fireplaces) and hold her breath for up to an hour. She also has quite good physical strength, though it is average in comparison to other MudWings. This physical strength of hers has occasionally gotten in the way whenever she wishes to work delicately, as her strength might accidently break or tear something. She is still quite good at minding her own strength and being as careful as possible in these delicate situations. Outside of what her tribe has provided her, the MudWing is very good at sewing and designing clothes, as this was her chosen profession. 
Her social skills are not to be overshadowed, though they are a bit more... complex due to Pastel Kitten's confidence waxing and waning with her mood. Some times she's confident enough to introduce herself to others while at other times she's too nervous to say a word to another soul. On a daily basis, she is good at, for the most part, keeping at least a façade of confidence when socializing with others, typically her clients. It only takes inquiries into specific subjects for her to be able to talk confidently and passionately on and on.

“oh, you're such a riot! have you ever considered becoming a comedian?”- Pastel Kitten
had the original name of grace before changing it to pastel kitten. reasons behind this sudden switch in names in unknown, probably because she liked pastel kitten better than her original name.
likes fashion, lived in a rundown town in the mud kingdom with a big troop of other mudwings, was born without parents like all mudwings, she was a single child at birth, but she was taken in by a rather hoarding group of mudwings, that's her new troop. really, it was just a large group of mudwing misfits who didn't have siblings so they all gathered into one mass. they weren't caring, but they took her under their wings. that is, until one day they decided to become a traveling band, the rest of pastel kitten's troop loved music, they wanted to play for the world. however, she wanted to set down roots, have a legacy in this little town they lived in. they didn't argue, they just plain left without her to play their music to the rest. without a job or a family, pk didn't really know what to do, all she liked was shiny things and designing things.
with her limitless creativity and newfound knowledge of designing fabric, she became a fashionista with a dream, a dream of popularity and acceptance from her peers. after scrapping up enough money, she moved to possibility, a better place to find someone to hire her. maybe someone will hire her someday, but for now, she's still searching, lately she's been becoming quite a sight due to off-coloration in her scales.
"Born a decade after the war, parentless within a poor village in the Mud Kingdom, Pastel Kitten never really was known for blend right in with the rest of her tribe. Her pastel scales made her stand out clear as day in a group. Yet she came out a single child, no siblings to look up to or to keep her company. This loneliness clawed gently at her stomach for weeks, for now she had a sudden need for company. Her wishes were answered one day when a group of misfits laid their eyes upon her and asked if she'd want to join them. There was no hesitation in Pastel Kitten's voice, she said "yes" quicker than you could blink. Her loneliness was over now, for she had a new family, one that respected her, one that needed her. One that gave her a purpose that she ever so desired.
But when the years dragged on, the troop of misfits grew distant to her, after all her attempts to settle down. They never listened, of course they didn't for why would they do such a boring thing like that? The rest of the troop wanted to become a traveling band of musicians. Playing for the world despite Pastel Kitten's pleas for them all the settle down and form roots. And for those pleas, she was left behind, forgotten by that troop of misfits. She didn't let that stop her, although it hurt her hard in the heart, she refused to fully acknowledge it. Now interested in fashion and cloth making, PK managed to scrap up enough scales to buy a house in Possibility. And there is where she currently resides." - overview

they're a nice dragon that she met off the streets of possibility and lately, they've been pretty good friends with one another, although pk is kinda worried they'll leave her too like the rest of her adoptive family did.

her... brother... her eldest brother, to be precise. while she was very close with him in the pass before cay wanted to start a band, they have become estranged from one another. just the mere mentions of his, and his band's, success causes a boiling envy, resentment, and bitterness to arise from the depths of her heart. byproducts of severing ties with not just cay, but all her siblings. a stinging pain she can't quite be rid of, but can certainly ignore when it's calm. as he was the oldest and the most understanding, pastel kitten was quite reliant on him for emotional support, not to mention he also assisted her with planning and keeping things organized, something she herself wasn't, and still isn't, good at.
now is determined to "beat" him and his band and prove to them (aka herself) that she's better than them and that she doesn't need their support no matter how much she... longs... for it... but she can't give up now. besides, their relationship... it isn't any good anymore. he probably has forgotten about her already... or replaced her... with someone else. just the thought hurts... just thinking about him and how important he was to her... hurts more than anything else. as much as she romanticizes being strong and independent... she is far from that image... she was so dependent on her bigwings... until he and the others left. she tried desperately to make him stay and settle down, but both of them were too stubborn to give in to the other's demands.

“oh ho ho ho! you're simply a riot, dear! come in, come in, make yourself at home!”- Pastel Kitten
 
*moral alignment is lawful good.
*love languages are quality time, acts of service, and physical touch.
*tends to emotionally eat when nervous or stressed, with it usually being peanut butter. also wrings hers wrists when nervous and clutches or fidgets with her pearl necklace when tense or stressed.
*owns four cats so she wouldn't feel alone. she's very protective of them. calls them to be her new troop which is... a little sad.
* bad at math, she has to have someone help her with it. also maybe a calculator. math gives her a headache.
