Astylus

== Appearance ==
At first glance, Astylus looks just like any plain, normal HiveWing, but if you look closer, you’d notice that she only has a pair of wings instead of two like a normal HiveWing. Because of this, she couldn’t fly, or at least that’s what she thought, as she’s never been allowed to try it before. The cause of this was her SilkWing ancestry, her father being half SilkWing caused her wings to never fully develop in her egg, but because she was mostly HiveWing, she wouldn’t have a metamorphosis either.
Except for her missing pair of wings, Astylus is just like any other HiveWing. Her main scales are bright yellow, with a dark brown stripe at the end of each plated scale, fading to dark brown at the tail tip. Her paws are the same dark brown, with pure white talons. The row of scales next to her underbelly are a bit lighter brown than her paws.
The scales on top of Astylus’s snout is light brown, fading to a bit darker brown, the same color as her underbelly, while her horn and spines are pure black.
Astylus’s eyes look black, but if you inspect them closer, you’ll find that her eyes are actually a dark brown so dark that it’s almost black and can be easily mistaken if not looking straight into her eyes.
Astylus’s two wings start with a slightly transparent light yellow, then slowly fades to a color like dust. Her ears are the same color as her wings.
Astylus doesn’t wear a lot of accessories. The only thing she wears all the time is a small silver earring, and she sometimes wears an orange watch with a black watch face on her right arm, or two bracelets with red strings and a single golden bead on her left.
== Personality ==
When meeting new dragons, Astylus tends to hide behind dragons she’s familiar with, most often her parents. She acts polite and awkward around strangers, making most who just met her think that she’s socially awkward, but if she likes your personality, she’ll warm up to you quickly. However, she wouldn’t hesitate to send a glare your way and act cold and timid around you if she doesn’t like you in any way.
To dragons Astylus is either friends with or trusts completely, she’s a bubbly little dragonet that laughs at even the tiniest things. She likes to chat and talks a lot (way too much), and often leads the conversation away from its original point when bored, especially in private classes her parents make her take.
Astylus hates being insulted, even if it’s just a light-hearted joke. Even the slightest laugh about her makes her feel bad, though she never shows it. She acts indifferent, and would either laugh it off, bite back with a weak attempt at a retort, or glare at whoever offended her, depending on the situation. She thinks very highly of what other think of her.
Unlike most dragonets her age, Astylus likes being alone rather than being with family or friends. Being alone gives her time to think, without anyone disturbing her. She likes to think that she can be who she truly is when she’s alone, so there’s always a part of her brain telling her that she’s overthinking and that it was ridiculous. She overthinks a lot, and when in classes she'd often slip into her thoughts subconsciously when she thinks that the topic on hand is boring.
Most of her clawmates at one of the Wasp Hive schools would think that she wasn't vrey smart, based on her grades, which was pretty much all low except for the one or two subjects she likes. Actually, Astylus is quite smart, she just doesn’t bother to listen in class because apparently it was booooring. When coming to debate, though, she won’t hesitate to speak up to express her opinion, surprising her clawmates and teacher, as she’s usually the silent one in class fidgeting with stuff and not even bothering to listen no matter how many times she’s called on.
== History ==
WIP
== Relationships ==
=== Mother ===
==== Neutral/Positive ====
Astylus can't say that she likes her mother a lot, because they argue a lot. They had shouting matches with each other at least once every day, especially when one of them is in a bad mood. Most of the arguments are caused by Astylus's low grades and her behavior in class and missing schoolwork.
=== Father ===
==== Positive ====
Astylus has to say that she likes her father better than her mother. Even though her father is often out at work, he's rather nice to her and is willing to sort things out by talking instead of yelling at her most of the times.
=== Sister (Mantid) ===
==== Positive ====
Astylus loves her one year old little sister Mantid, and likes to tease her just for fun. They often bicker in a light-hearted way with each other.
