Wintersweet, Wintersweet,
Sweet as sugar. 
Short but graceful. A bright, pretty smile and guileless eyes. Delicate, rounded features. She looks just like every other IceWing you've met, but she's...softer. No harshness, no severity. This is a dragon who has never known pain. You find yourself hoping she never will. 
Wintersweet, Wintersweet, 
How I miss her! 
Chimonanthus was born to a well-off family in the Third Circle, and as such, they could afford comforts and luxuries that dragons in the lower ranks could not. Her parents genuinely loved and cared for her well-being, they disregarded some of the stricter social rules to indulge their daughter. She grew up in a more carefree environment than most IceWing dragonets do. 
Her education was designed to nurture her curiosity, not to ensure that she passed tests so her status could be maintained. Chimonanthus developed a strong desire to learn, and would stay up until early morning reading her favorite scrolls over and over. 
She made friends easily and had many of them. She loved stories and songs, and she loved group hunting. She loved the complexity of IceWing traditions; partaking in her culture made her feel proud. Chimonanthus appreciated the beauty of everyday objects; the smoothness of the ice, it's reflective clarity. The way the sun glinted off scales. She didn't need adventure or daring to find happiness, she was already happy. 
Wintersweet , Wintersweet,
The days are long.
But this page would be frickin boring if I didn't add SOMETHING exciting to it. Does anybody actually want to read about a perfectly normal IceWing dragonet who spends all her days with the same routine? No, you probably don't. So here it is, ladies and gents and all you non gender-conforming friends; here is what makes Chimonanthus exciting:
Her disappearance. 
It was sudden. It was unexpected. She had been travelling across the Kingdom of Ice on on of the little flights that she normally did, when she wanted to see the seals or romp through the snow. It was a regular occurrence, and she had done it often enough that she always knew her way back home. 
Except she never returned. 
Her parents and friends were frantic with worry. They knew her, they knew how content she had been with her life. They knew she wouldn't have ran away. They organized a search party to find her, but their was no trace of Chimonanthus. It was as if she had never existed. 
They hoped for the best, but feared for the worst. 
The NightWings were the first to be suspected. The two tribes were ancient enemies, and they thought it was likely she had been carted off by them.
Months passed. The search continued, but their hope that she would be found soon was beginning to diminish. Eventually, the queen told her parents that she could no longer spare her soldiers for the task of finding one missing dragonet. 
Wintersweet, Wintersweet,
Where have you gone?
 
Chimonanthus's favorite colours are sky blue and sunny yellow, because these are the colours of calm days, and she believes calm days signify luck and fortune. Her least favorite colour is pink, because pink is the colour the snow turns after hunting. While she likes a successful hunt and a well-fed population, she does not like the cruelty of ending life.
Chimonanthus is named after a plant genus of the same name, which means "winter flower" in Greek. For you see, chimonanthus is a plant that is recognized for it's unusual ability of flowering in the winter. When all other blooms have died, killed by the cold frost, chimonanthus lives. It has been seen after snowfall with small, bright blossoms decorating it's branches. These blossoms are the yellow of candle-wax, and have a pleasing fragrance. Chimonanthus is also known by the common name of "wintersweet," and it has long been held as a symbol of perseverance and endurance.
