__TOC__
==Appearance==
Due to her being a MudWing-RainWing hybrid, Soil's body is a mix of traits commonly found in both tribes: she has a prehensile tail like most RainWings, a slightly thinner but still fairly bulky MudWing body, RainWing scruffs behind her small MudWing ears, and MudWing horns. Due to her being a hybrid MudWing-RainWing, her capacity to hold her breath are only half as good as a regular MudWing, meaning that she could, for instance, only stay 30 minutes underwater before needing to surface again to breathe. However, her body also being only half as bulky as a MudWing stills means a lot since she will be faster than an average MudWing, and the extra bulk, compared to a RainWing, can still provide good defense, or attack if she uses her prehensile tail offensively.
==Personality==
Soil is extroverted: she is one to go towards the others and try to get along. She doesn't like conflicts and will do everything she can to solve them, even if it can put her at a disadvantage. Believing fighting isn't necessary, she also use innovative ways of preventing dragons she know from fighting. She tends to factor her feelings in her decision-making, which has caused a few issues at times, but overall, the dragons close to her know she doesn't mean any harm and likely was a bit too emotive.
She also likes playing in the mud and eating fruits, and sometimes tries to convince her friends to join her to play in the mud, which often causes them to give her disapproving glances. Soil is also a terrible swimmer, and since a few bad experiences with the swamps and lake in the Rainforest where she had to be bailed out to avoid drowning, she now stays away from any vast body of water.
Overall, she is a cheerful dragonet, and tries her best to make sure everyone gets along. The only dragons that don't approve of her ways are the one intently seeking conflicts for their own gains, or dragons that believe she might be overdoing it/she should mind her own business.
==History (Warning: very long!)==
Soil's birth is the story of a MudWing that wanted to be an adventurer and a RainWing that loves adventuring.
Brittlebush, Soil's father, was a RainWing that, since birth, only had one passion: exploring the world. He had already explored every corner of the Rainforest when he was just 7 dragon years old, and he knew the Rainforest by heart. This ability and bravery made his parents very proud, and he was fated to serve RainWing royalty for sure!
Except that Brittlebush didn't care a single bit about it. When the RainWing queen summoned Brittlebush and his parents for an audience about the young RainWing's exceptional skills, he was offered to work for royalty, as a cartographer, and maybe as a part-time explorer. Some corners of the Rainforest hadn't been throughly explored, and there still was plenty of things left to the RainWings, or any dragon of any tribe for that matter, to discover. However, the young RainWing denied the queen's offer. His reasoning was simple: as tempting as the offer was, he didn't want to simply stick to the Rainforest. An entire world was waiting for him, and countless adventures were ahead of him.
Everyone in the room were shocked by this. No matter how much the RainWing queen tried to make the offer more and more interesting, no matter how Brittlebush's parents tried to convince their son, no words would get to the cheerful young RainWing's mind. His mind was already set, his talons were ready to touch every inch of dirt Pyrrhia had, and his wings were meant to catch every single gust of wind this continent had to offer.
Instead, the young RainWing even had the audacity of saying "The world isn't just made of the Rainforest, there is so much more I have to see, touch, and feel!" in front of everyone. His parents felt terribly embarrassed by this; they certainly didn't expect their son to be reckless enough to do such a thing. But instead of getting the upset, the queen understood what he meant. She smiled, and asked the young RainWing to go on a rather... interesting quest. She wanted the young RainWing to make an encyclopedia of all the fruits in Pyrrhia.
This was a quest that the young RainWing found rather strange, but he didn't mind; after all, this would give him an excuse to explore the world, and maybe even get famous as an adventurer. He accepted the RainWing queen's request, and this time, rounds of applause were heard. He didn't waste time and quickly set off to explore most of Pyrrhia. He had seen some famous landmarks: the Jade Mountain, known for its academy, the Scorpion Den in the Sand Kingdom, and he even was daring enough to explore the Ice Kingdom and see Queen Glacier's Palace! ...all while taking notes about the fruits of every territory he explored, of course.
Things became a bit difficult when he reached the Mud Kingdom. He once found a fruit growing on the top of a small plant, that was on the top of a stone, itself poking out of a lake of mud. The mud looked shallow from Brittlebush's perspective; however, it was, in fact, quite deep. Brittlebush just used his wings to the to the fruit, and, in a moment of absent-mindedness, landed on the rock, which was small, and slippery.
Before he knew it, he found himself in the mud lake. Thing is, the mud was sticking to him, and he wasn't exactly a good swimmer. Every move he made was just making him sink deeper and deeper into the mud lake, and he was experiencing the biggest fear of his entire life: the fear of death. He barely had his head out of the mud when the miracle he was asking the three moons for happened; he suddenly felt himself pushed out of the mud lake by an unknown force, as if something was moving beneath him.
The moving object later revealed itself to be a female MudWing that was just having a fun time in the mud lake. She introduced herself as Magnolia. Brittlebush was lost in thought, he wanted to apologize for disturbing the MudWing, and even potentially being somewhere he probably wasn't meant to be, and he also wanted to thank the MudWing for saving his life. The female MudWing cut him short however, saying "So, you wanted one of these, right?", while handing one of the fruits he was taking notes about.
Brittlebush didn't know what to say. Magnolia certainly was kind, and before he even had any chance to thank her or even repay her for saving his life, she was helping him again. Brittlebush nodded, and took the fruit, writing notes about it in the small scroll he was given. Per chance, his pouch didn't had too much mud inside it, so the scroll was still in a fairly good state. However, Magnolia noticed it, and said "This confirms what I was thinking: you certainly aren't from here, aren't you?".
It was evident. Brittlebush didn't even thought about changing the color of his scales to match the ones MudWings have, though it might have been what saved his life. He smiled, in a relatively childish way. Magnolia said "Looks like I was right. Judging by what you have written on this scroll, you must have seen quite a lot of things. Would you mind telling me about them?". Brittlebush was surprised by this sudden request, but accepted.
They spent days talking about Brittlebush's adventures through Pyrrhia, his dangerous adventures through the Sand and Ice Kingdoms, the wonderful sunrises that could be seen in the Sky Kingdom, the hostile environment where NightWings used to live, as well as the landmarks he saw. Magnolia listened intently to every of his words, hearing about a world she had never explored, for she, being the bigwings of her family, was tasked with protecting and raising her MudWing siblings.
She didn't say anything in particular, but deep inside, she wanted to be part of this adventure. She wanted to see the burning hot sand of the Sand Kingdom, the transparent, blue ice of the Ice Kingdom, the mountains and rivers of the Sky Kingdom, the beaches of the Kingdom of the Sea, and the dense, deep jungles of the Rainforest. And so, when the RainWing knew it was time to go, she (not so secretly) followed him.
With his quest finished, Brittlebush returned to hand the scroll to the RainWing queen. His surprise was when he heard about the guards having captured a MudWing that was hiding in a swamp. When they brought the MudWing, Brittlebush immediately recognized it: it was Magnolia. With a sigh that almost ended in laughter, for he was still in front of the queen, he explained how Magnolia helped him not drown in a mud lake in the Mud Kingdom, and that she enjoyed reading the scroll and listening to his adventures through Pyrrhia. As such, he asked for the queen not to take Magnolia's intrusion as an offense, as she likely was following him.
The RainWing queen laughed, and said "Today really is a fun day. First of all, I have two IceWings asking me if they could live in the forest, and now, one of my kind asking me that a MudWing that saved him could live here too... Not to mention the NightWings that moved here so many years ago. Might as well call this land 'Refuge for Special Dragons' than the Rainforest, if you want my opinion!". She then accepted the request of the RainWing adventurer; he had fulfilled her request after all, and if he wasn't lying, which he likely had no reason to, this MudWing likely wasn't a threat.
With Magnolia's life spared, Brittlebush decided to ask her what she planned to do. Magnolia then shyly admitted that she followed Brittlebush because she thought she would continue his adventures. Her words put a smile on Brittlebush's face, someone genuinely cared for what he was at his heart: an adventurer. However, he looked at her and said "You know, a true adventurer never stops going around the world, but I believe that I deserve some rest after such an exciting trip around Pyrrhia. But, I can promise you one thing: if you truly desire to explore the world, then you will come with me on my next trip! I am sure there are many more continents waiting to be found!"
It was what Magnolia wanted to hear. They started thinking about what awaits them outside of Pyrrhia, and how they could possibly get there. All these discussions only made their relationship stronger and stronger, and eventually, they swore an inseparable duo of adventurers. The result of the birth of this duo was an egg. Sticking to RainWing traditions, Brittlebush deposited the egg into the hatchery, and it was the first one there. Soil's parents felt a bit sad to see that their egg was the only one in the hatchery, but their sadness disappeared when two SandWings deposited their egg inside the hatchery. 
Magnolia already imagined her child possibly becoming a bigwings, and while it had prevented her to do all the things she wanted in the past, she couldn't help but reminisce the fun times she had with her siblings. "Who cares if Soil's siblings aren't MudWings?", she thought to herself. "What really matters is that she gets along with her new siblings.", she thought again.
And over the course of a few weeks, both parents realized that she would be getting a few more siblings, for an IceWing egg appeared in the hatchery, then a SkyWing egg, and, surprisingly, an odd-looking NightWing egg. Magnolia and Brittlebush weren't visiting the hatchery as often as the other parents, because they had total faith in the dragonet that would come out of the egg. It was an intuition that nothing would go wrong with it, as if they had travelled to the future and seen their child already and went back to the present.
Eventually, on a fateful night, with a full moon, Soil came out of her egg. She didn't know anything about this world, why it was so dark, why she was in a strange, fragile oval-shaped container, but she thought about it... If she came out of one, would it mean that those differently coloured containers would likely have creatures like her inside them?
She had to find out. The first one that caught her eyes was the strange NightWing egg. She didn't know anything about tribes, but this egg looked vastly different compared to the other eggs, and her curiosity got the best of her. It certainly didn't help that it was the most visible egg, basking in the moon light, and that it was moving, confirming the newly born MudWing-RainWing hybrid's suspicions.
A few bits of the egg shell fell as the dragonet inside was already cracking the egg to the best of its capabilities, but it was like it was still struggling to come out. Soil used all her body, claws, horns to help the dragonet break the egg further, and per chance, the young dragonet soon emerged out of the egg unharmed. It didn't understood much about what was happening either, but it felt like it had to help too.
The two of them then cracked the IceWing's egg shell only slightly, for the dragonet hastily broke it open, revealing a dragonet that was easy to see under the moon light, covered in white scales. The next egg didn't had time to be cracked either, for the young SkyWing inside burst it open without any issues. There was only a single egg left, the SandWing egg.
Soil was the only one to approach it. The young NightWing hybrid was lost in thought, looking at the night sky and the IceWing and the SkyWing were already looking to get in a fight to see who was stronger. She was curious as to what would come out of the last egg. She cracked it open, making sure not to harm the dragonet inside, and, nothing came out of it. She tilted her head to the side, and looked through the small hole she had made: a small SandWing dragonet was sleeping inside. She cracked the egg's shell a bit further, and tried dragging out the SandWing out of its egg. It eventually woke up, looked at its surroundings, not understanding much either. 
One thing was sure, now that the deeds were done, and all the eggs hatched, she had to get along with her siblings. It was like her mind was constantly telling her that every one of these four dragonets were as important to her as her own life. So, when she saw the IceWing and the SkyWing dragonet fighting, she had to think of a way to stop them before anyone gets hurt or worse; newborn dragonets don't really know about moderating their strength.
She leaped on the SkyWing's back, which instantly collapsed to the ground. However, she still had to stop the IceWing from using this to its advantage... Or at least, she would have had, but the still sleepy SandWing lost balance and rolled right into the young IceWing, tripping it. Fortunately, the young SandWing's poisonous barb wasn't anywhere near the IceWing. It looked like everyone was in check... except the young NightWing that was still staring at the night sky.
As she approached the young NightWing, she felt her body remind her that she had just been born a few moments ago, and that it was the middle of the night. She struggled to reach the NightWing, and in a last effort, fell asleep on top of it, causing its body to give out under the weight and have its talons and wings spread out on the hatchery's floor. She couldn't make much of what happened afterwards, as she was drifting away from reality every second that passed, but she felt a warm presence curl against her, then a cold one, then another one laying on top of her back.
Currently, Soil still lives in the Rainforest with her parents, who are looking to make her an adventurer, even though her interest in adventuring isn't as pronounced as her parents'. She is also often trying to help Sandstorm and Stargazer from falling prey to Brightsky and Blanc's pranks and traps, or preventing the last twos from fighting over leadership. After all, why would there be a need for a "winglet" or even a "leader", when she is the bigwings?
==Relationships==
Stargazer
A male NightWing-IceWing hybrid dragonet, that Soil sees as a little brother. Soil would like him to be closer to the other dragonets, but his introverted natures makes it difficult for him. Besides, his physical weakness making him a prime target for Blanc's pranks means that it's up to Soil to assume the role of a protective bigwings and try to prevent spoiled fruits, "fall-into-the-mud" traps and other contraptions Blanc prepares from reaching him. At least Brightsky isn't even paying attention to him, saying "That NightWing? More like a SoftWing if you want my opinion!", so Soil doesn't have to be by his side all the time. Seeing him fall asleep in unexpected places or watching the stars always makes Soil happy.
Brightsky
A female SkyWing dragonet, that Soil sees as a little sister. While she disapproves of Brightsky's haughty "I wanna be the leader" attitude, and the means she is using to try to achieve it, she can't help but still care for her. Soil tried many times to convince Brightsky that her self-proclaimed winglet is unneeded, for she is the leader that her "siblings" need, but Brightsky being a fairly hot-headed little SkyWing, she always laughs back with a "But I've gotta prove this arrogant little IceWing who is stronger!", much to Soil's disappointment, who sincerely hopes that not all SkyWings are this stubborn.
Sandstorm
A male SandWing dragonet, the last one of Soil's "siblings" to hatch, and one of Soil's favourites. His fairly calm yet mysterious nature fascinates her, and the way he manages to get through Brightsky and Blanc's tricks and traps without even requiring her help always put a smile on her face. She believes that Sandstorm will grow up to become an important SandWing, though she isn't sure exactly of what will happen. 
Blanc
A male IceWing dragonet, the second one of Soil's "siblings". His prankster attitude leaves Soil indifferent, and she has quite the way of getting back to Blanc whenever he decides to prank her: ranging from projecting mud on the young IceWing (which he hates), to "accidentally" tripping on him (of course, while making sure it doesn't hurt... too much, at least). She also often gets in the way of his fights with Brightsky for the leadership of Brightsky's self-proclaimed "winglet", because she believes those fights are pointless and unneeded.
Brittlebush
Soil's father. Wishes his daughter had close to half the adventuring and daring soul he and Magnolia have, but he doesn't blame her for wanting to go a different path. Currently trying to teach her how to use her prehensile tail the same way RainWings do, and once caught her reading his Encyclopedia of the Fruits of Pyrrhia. 
Magnolia
Soil's mother. Proud of her for being a bigwings, and gives her tips on how to help her siblings and manage them. Also likes taking mud baths with her.
