Oleander (deceased)

Oleander was an adult female LeafWing. She possessed weak leafspeak and was a high ranked member of the PoisonWings. On a mission to find a better home for her tribe she wound up in Pyrrhia. Unable to return to Pantala she settled down in the Scorpion Den with Timefuse and had a dragonet called Fallentree. After almost 5 years of living together, she was killed by a group SandWings.
== Description ==
Oleander had bold green scales that matched her daughter, Fallentree. Her wings and frill were magenta, complementing her pink eyes. She was covered in darker scales that clashed with her noticeable mint-teal underscales.
Tied around her right wrist with rope is a dusty dagger, that matches Timefuses.
== Personality ==
Friendly and decisive, Oleander was seemed calm in every situation, following orders almost robotically. While she seemed quiet once you got to know her she was quite bubbly, laughing and jumping around for the smallest of jokes. This side of her was often repressed with the danger of the Poison Jungle and prospect of revenge against the HiveWings. Often relying on others, she struggles to think for herself, despite this she is quick to leap into action once a decision is made.
== Biography ==
=== Dragonet ===
Hatched after the Tree Wars, Oleander was brought up in the PoisonWing Village. Her family was close to Linden and so she was childhood friends with Belladonna. She often followed her around like she was the leader, clearly destined to follow orders.
=== Adulthood ===
Oleander was a high ranking soldier often appearing near other figures of authority and being invited to secret meetings. She had continued to be close to Belladonna and are frequently seen together. It all changed when her mother was killed by a venus dragontrap. Sick of the Poison Jungle and all its danger she set up a team in search of a better base. Many never came back while those who did struggled to recover. Oleander had tried searching nearby islands but was caught in a terrible storm and lost her companions. Waking up in an unfamiliar environment she discreetly searched for answers, confused by the open desert and SandWings that surrounded her when she saw familiar sight she pounced on the opportunity. Thinking they must have had powers like Clearsight and could explain things, she kidnapped the first NightWing she saw. Regretfully, Timefuse explained her confusion and offered help in sympathy of their similar situations. Despite not finding a way back to Pantala or a new home in Pyrrhia they settled down together in the Scorpion Den. Having one dragonet they called Fallentree. Because of their unusual appearance and Burns hobby of collecting oddities Oleander often stayed in the house raising Fallentree. On a rare occasion when she felt it necessary to leave she was spotted by rogue SandWings who fought to take her to the Stronghold as a present. She fought hard and won but had been to badly injured to make it. Timefuse never found her body.
== Relationships ==
=== Belladonna ===
Oleander and Belladonna were childhood friends. Often Belladonna would take charge of their games and Oleander would follow quietly. As they got older they were often seen side by side during meetings and missions. Belladonna disapproved with Oleander’s mission to find a new home and they grew distant as she began making arrangements for the trip. Many times whilst in Pyrrhia Oleander found herself longing for Belladonna to tell her the right thing to do.
=== Byblis ===
Byblis was another one of Oleanders childhood friends. While Oleander grew up with Belladonna because her parents were close with Linden, Byblis got integrated into their social group by becoming friends with Belladonna. Both Byblis and Oleander usually followed after her lead and did as she said. Byblis and Oleander were quite close but were only friends because they both liked Belladonna. Once Oleander left Byblis became even closer to Belladonna.
=== Fallentree ===
Oleander spent a lot of time with her daughter due to being confined to their house. Most of the time they spent together was Oleander teaching Fallentree the ways of the world outside. Communication was difficult given Fallentree was mute but Oleander was relentless and did her best to find ways around it.
=== Hemlock ===
From a young age it was well established that Belladonna and Hemlock were to get married and have dragonets together. Oleander didn’t dislike Hemlock, she just didn’t know him that well, often thinking that Belladonna could do better. She admires his kind understanding nature.
=== Linden ===
Oleander didn’t know Linden very well, since she spent all her time on Belladonna. From what she saw of the powerful LeafWing, she greatly respected her and did as she said without fail. Oleander grieved along side Belladonna when her mother died and respected Linden’s courage.
=== Timefuse ===
While they met out of a misunderstanding, Timefuse quickly rose up to be one of her favourite dragons. They initially bonded over their common interests, but it grew further as they spent time together. Whenever Oleander gets sad or misses her tribe Timefuse comforts her, they laugh about little things Fallentree did, often spend hours talking about nothing in particular. Sometimes he even made her forget her rage towards the HiveWings.
=== Wolfsbane ===
Oleander disliked Wolfsbane, often finding his remarks obvious and stupid. She never said anything to his face but would be tempted to grumble about him when he wasn’t around.
