Arpina

Arpina is Buckeye's sister. She goes by she/her pronouns, and is a female. She has recent SkyWing and NightWing ancestry. However, she is mainly a SilkWing. Arpina is a flamesilk.
== Appearance ==
Arpina is, simply, beautiful. Her main body is a dawn-colored red. Her underbelly is a pale maize-yellow color that gently fades into white near the tail. She has long, drooping antennae, a curved snout, and short, and curling horns that are colored off-white. Her teeth and claws are a shiny white color. Her eyes are the prettiest part. Her pupils look like the sun rising, and a dawn-colored scheme is all around the pupils. Her eyes are generally very intense when she actually looks up. Her wingbuds are starting to unfurl, showing a hint of a sunrise, with scattered white stars. Her legs fade into a pale maize yellow as well. The strangest things is, her fades aren't smooth gradients. They shift a little in color, noticeable enough to pick out imaginary lines between the colors. Arpina has a small, plump build, and a gentle expression. Her tail is long, with a pointed end, and her legs are long, too, meaning that she can run fast. Blunt scales run down her back, shifting from a dawn-colored red to, again, a pale maize yellow.
== Personality ==
Arpina is very kind and gentle, with a soft spot for animals and dragonets. She is always observant, and is very charismatic. She is also very intelligent, and is polite, respectful, and disciplined. Arpina is a slight perfectionist, liking to keep things in order and getting a little irritated when they aren't. She is a daydreamer, and can sometimes get caught up in her head. She is appalled by what is happening beyond Wasp Hive, and joined The Crystalis to try and stop what was happening. Arpina is most definitely socially awkward. She hates meeting new dragons, and is very shy and timid. She can also get nervous easily, and is too obedient for her own good, or so Buckeye says.
== Biography ==
====== Pre-Pre-Egg ======
Futurewatcher rested his wings, looking up in the direction of wherever he was going. This was it. He turned to smile at his Fiancé, Paradise, who grinned back. The two were a strange couple, sure. A NightWing and a SkyWing weren't in the norms. But Futurewatcher firmly believed that they could be together. Maybe this new place would help them with that.
When they finally arrived in what was the edge of the Poison Jungle, they made a small house in a tree.
====== A Few Years Later ======
Paradise looked at their newborn dragonets, who stumbled and jumped around their house curiously. Future twined his tail with hers, and they watched the dragonets play. As Future lapsed into sleep later, a vision came upon him.
Two of their dragonets, an ash-colored dragoness that they had named Burgundy, and a black male with bright red markings, named Volcano, explored near the towers. The two were all grown up now, but Future wondered where Meteor and Comet had gone. A beautiful dragoness, with wings like a butterfly's, landed in front of Volcano, and stole his heart.
Future woke up the next morning, knowing that his dragonets would carry on a legacy.
====== Pre-Egg ======
Swallowtail and Copper lived in Wasp Hive, in the flamesilk area, after the events of The Lost Continent. Since they were both flamesilks, the two were paired together. Even though they were unhappy about it, they were allowed to go outside of the cages, and had two eggs.
====== Egg ======
Both of the eggs were given to another pair, Hairstreak and Papillon. They raised the eggs like their own, and since they were living in a moderately nice house and had stable jobs, they hoped to give the two soon-to-be dragonets a good life. They were aware of who the real parents were, but decided against telling the dragonets, at least for then.
====== Baby Dragonet ======
Buckeye hatched first, under the watchful eye of the pair. They had to help her out, and decided to name her Arpina. They were both pampered and nursed in the pair's arms. Hairstreak, the mother, thought about signing the two up for a daycare, and eventually did, giving them plenty of time to figure out what they liked. While Buckeye tussled with the other dragonets (and won), Arpina quickly took an interest in books. Every day, she would go to the mini library in the daycare and read for the entire time.
====== Dragonet ======
Hairstreak and Papillon wasted no time in signing Arpina up for a book club. While Arpina was hesitant to go at first, she made friends with a few other dragonets at the book club, named Brimstone, Gatekeeper, and Holly. Arpina always thought Gatekeeper looked cute, and soon developed a crush on him. Little did she know, he had done the same. The four became very close, not doing anything without each other. They teased Buckeye together. They read together. They played T or D together. Arpina boosted her self esteem, and theirs, and they became pretty much tied together.
====== Current ======
Arpina's wings have begun to unfurl, as have Buckeye's and her other friend's. She begins to notice the awed stares dragons give her, but just brush it off, thinking that it was just her wingbuds. Little does she know, dragons have been doing this since she was first in daycare. Her wrists are itchy and warm, for some reason...
=== Relationships ===
====== Brimstone ======
Arpina and Brimstone are best buddies. She loves how goofy and funny he is, and would never do anything without him.
====== Gatekeeper ======
Brimstone's brother, and the most "handsomest" dragon Arpina has ever seen. She has fallen helplessly in love with his kind and quiet demeanor.
====== Holly ======
Holly and Arpina help each other up when one of them falls down. Arpina doesn't know where she or Holly would be without each other.
====== Hairstreak ======
Arpina's mother showers her with attention and affection, and Arpina loves her back. She couldn't imagine any better mother.
====== Papillon ======
Same for her father. She loves him especially for convincing Hairstreak to sign Arpina up for the book club. She couldn't have a better father.
====== Buckeye ======
Arpina loves Buckeye like, well, a sister. She supports Buckeye in every way, but they also get into arguments. Still, she loves him for who he is, when most HiveWings don't.
=== Trivia ===
Arpina isn't a butterfly name. Rather, it means "Rising of Sun".
