==Personality==
Sweet and excitable. She has difficulty staying focused sometimes and never sits still. Zoning out is a common occurrence, even if she's trying hard not to do it. However, she can also become extremely focused to the point where she doesn't notice things happening around her. Sometimes she even forgets to eat when this happens for hours on end. 
She appreciates the little things in life. Even something as simple as the pattern in a spiderweb or sap leaking from a tree can fascinate her. She also enjoys just watching other dragons go about their daily lives, usually from a high perch where she can lounge and absorb sunlight. 
==Appearance==
Most of her body is a pale red, while the webbing of her wings and ruff are a gradient of yellow to blue. The scales around her snout and eyes are white, as are her underbelly and the spots running down the sides of her body. 
==Abilities==
She picked up a talent for mimicking noises when she was a dragonet. She can mimic birdsong perfectly, and can also mimic the voices of other dragons pretty well. 
==History==
Parrot's dragonethood started out pretty typical for a RainWing. She grew up in the rainforest with all the fruit she could ever want and plenty of other dragonets to play with. She enjoyed exploring and often pretended she was a great adventurer, hopping after frogs and catching beetles in the jungle. 
However, when she was around three years old, she wasn't paying attention to where she was going and ventured farther than she ever had before while chasing a brightly colored bird. She had been so focused on trying to catch it that she didn't realize how late it had gotten until it was dark enough that she couldn't see the bird anymore. Scared and alone, she tried calling out for help, hoping that someone else was around... But no one came looking for her. A large branch cracked somewhere behind her, causing her to squeal in terror and run off in the opposite direction, farther and farther away from her home. She only stopped when she found an upended hollow tree to hide in, curling up in the trunk and using her camouflage to hide herself. She lay there for hours, scared and alone, until she eventually fell into a light slumber. 
As soon as she woke up, she tried to find a way home, only stopping to eat fruit from the surrounding trees or nap in the sunlight shining in through the canopy. However, she never recognized anything around her, nor did she ever come across any other dragons. Before she knew it, night had fallen again, and she ended up sleeping in the branches of a large tree. 
Finally, after a few days of wandering aimlessly, she found herself at the base of the cloud mountains. In a desperate attempt to try and see if she could spot her home from higher up, she began to fly up the side of the mountain range. However, when she reached the top of the mountain later that night, she was filled with dismay to find that she couldn't see anything but a vast expanse of unbreaking canopy. She looked back to the mountain range. Perhaps if she flew along the canopy opposite of the mountains, she might be able to...
And then something between the peaks caught her eye. A glimpse of shimmering yellow, just beyond the mountains. Curiosity sparked in her chest, and she flew deeper into he mountains, trying to catch a letter look at what lay on the opposite side. She flew between the peaks, stopping at each one to catch her breath. A life spent napping in hammocks and eating ripe fruit had left her out of shape and unable to fly long distances. Finally, just as the sun was setting over the horizon, she reached the opposite side of the mountains. 
Before her lay an endless ocean of rolling dunes and golden sand, speckles with cacti that cast long shadows in the fading daylight. The sun shimmered in the heat, and smeared the sky with shades of gold, magenta, and dark blue. 
In the distance, a walled-off city stood tall and dark against the desert sand. Tiny lights flickered at the top of the walls, and she knew somewhere within lay dragons the likes of which she had never seen before. 
 For a brief moment, she turned to look back at the mountains, where she knew her home lay beyond the tall peaks. She knew nothing of the world outside the rainforest. She had no idea what sort of dragons she might meet, or what she might come across if she continued onward... And she wanted to find out more than anything in the world. 
 So she turned back towards the desert, lifted her wings, and took off towards the distant city.
==Relationships==
Moonblink: Currently dating. Parrot reads out loud to Moonblink and helps her write since she's blind and can't do it herself. 
==Trivia==
* Parrot's "standard" coloring is similar to a Scarlet Macaw, which also happened to be the bird she was chasing the day she got lost.
