== Biography ==
=== True to One's Self ===
Hogweed was born to Arrowhead and Cassava, two Leafwings. During his childhood, he attended Leafwing Elementary, where he learned about his unique "scent." When he was around 2 and a half years old, he was out training with Colts foot, his trainer. During a training session, an incident happened with him and a bush of hogweed plants. He was left permanently blind. Over the course of 5 and a half years, Hogweed was taught how to find his unique scent and how to do things despite not being able to see.
When he was 8, he along with all the other Leafwings went through mating season but his scent (which was too strong due to the pollen) caused the others to avoid him. When Colts foot revealed he was the reason behind Hogweed's blindness, Hogweed, ashamed, embarrassed and angered, fled Pantala. He ended up on Pyrrhia a few days later. He met Apricity, a hybrid who offered to help him. 
A few months later, after learning how to tone down his scent, he invited Apricity to return with him to Pantala. The two flew back there just in time for next Leafwing mating season. He gained the interest of Heaven, a beautiful Leafwing who had been his classmate and who he was enamored with. But while he gains her interest as a potential mate, he became conflicted between his feelings for her and Apricity. But Apricity reveals she only saw him as a brother figure, and that she was in love with another dragon. Hogweed becomes mates with Heaven and a few months after that becomes a teacher to young blind Leafwings.
