🍁Appearance🍁 
Mapleshade is a small LeafWing NightWing mix, with cailco cat like scales all over her body, a spot on her jaw being bronze colored, while the splat around her eyes is a medium shade of grey on the right, and being bronze colored on the left. her horns and spikes being a very dark shade of grey, ears of a rosy brown and eyes being a beautiful baby blue. The rest of her body looks as if an artist simply threw paint balloons full of bronze, a medium shade of grey and pure white paint. she also has a snout deformity, her snout being much more rounded than usual and a fang sticking out, which resulted in some issues with speaking.
Personality
Mapleshade is often quiet, reserved, timid, and nobody really knows what she's truly thinking, she's also rather sensitive, as loud noises and sudden sounds can cause her to freak out; however, she is also seen as intelligent and easy going, often minding her own business, and tolerating interacting with other dragons.
she often had problems when it came to social interaction, as her snout deformity cause her to speak in a weird tone, but that wasn't the end of Pantala for her, as she would often communicate using written words or non-verbal communication. HiveWings, SilkWings and LeafWings would call her the "Big Kitty Of Pantala" for her cat like behavior, and Mapleshade completely owned it 
Abilities
Due to her being a hybrid, Mapleshade has the ability to fly significantly more faster than most LeafWings can, her tri colored scales also gives her a edge in camouflage, as her mottled scales makes her a nightmare to spot, I suggest you never play hide and seek with Mapleshade! especially if your her prey... which are usually just bugs.
History
Mapleshade was created using purely animus magic, as her creator requested "this egg should take it's time and decide who it wants to become, revealing itself to Pantala when it's ready" they gently laid the egg near the Yellowjacket Hive and flew away, having no clue if the egg even survived.
Lucky for the creator, the egg hatched, and turned out to be a Leaf/Night hybrid.
But papa wasn't sticking around at the slightest, shortly after her hatching, her inventor flew away but keep close to the hive, wondering if a whole hive could raise a single dragonet, various SilkWings, HiveWings and a few LeafWings partake in caring for the mongrel.
SilkWings believe she often keeps to herself, HiveWings thought her as soft and fraglie, and the few LeafWing bunch saw her as strange, but it didn't affect her that much, why should she even care? HiveWings are just mean because they need to remind all the tribes that they are superior, take the negative comment and move on.
But Mapleshade has grown suspicious of the way the hive treats disabled dragons, seeing them as strange bugs or weaklings that are too soft to survive, so she had a plan, make this place more accepting to dragons that are affected by certain conditions. Which resulted her in founding the Herbwish Herd, a area within the Yellowjacket hive where disabled dragons tell their stories to the hive or simply just need a safe space to calm down, but at the end of the day, she simply wants Pantala to see disabled dragons as dragons and not monsters from another planet.
Relationships
Dobsonfly
He is the first dragon to reside in the herbwish herd, as both of his back legs where paralyzed due to a tree falling down on his back, which meant he was completely useless to the HiveWings. Even though he felt like he could never live a "normal" dragon life because he had to pull himself using his claws, Mapleshade taught him that there was plenty of things he could do, as he only needed some extra help. 
Flea
Named for her jumpy, hyper and energetic personality, Flea helped Mapleshade kick off the project, being eager to provide assistance to disabled dragons when they needed it. Hey, if it made Pantala a somewhat more welcoming place, she is happy to help!
