I'm in the bathroom, looking at me
Face in the mirror is all I need (ooh)
Wait until the reaper takes my life
Never gonna get me out alive

Appearance
Lawnmower, despite being healthy and "normal" as some dragons call him, has a quite creepy look. His eyes are unclear blue (#6b87d9) that glints with some sort of a mad mischievousness. Though he doesn't really mind, his eyes gives dragons a chill in the bones when they stare at it directly.
His base scales are pastel green with odd hues of nature-y green -- pale, dark, or even bright ones -- that looks like he was made to be against the colors of the mother nature, yet still stunning. His LeafWing webs are minty green, unlike his spines, which are darker than his other colors.
Lawnmower's wings are colors of a withered grass patch -- Yellowish white that has no sign of the lively greenness. his tail fin is more like his webs. Lawnmower has a long gash across his tail, which doesn't actually affect his moves nonetheless. His semi-crooked teeth are white.
Lawnmower has a collection of leather pouches that he use often. The first several pouches have tools used for fixing machines. The others have seeds and flasks of water, presumably used for gardening. The pouches are usually full, and some of them have miscellaneous stuff here and there.

Personality
Before Correction
Lawnmower was moody, sad, and sorrowful, which is the complete opposite of his current mood. He preferred to have less friends and socialize with dragons who knew him. 
After Correction
Like most of the corrected dragons, Lawnmower always is happy. He loves to take care of the exotic plants in the greenhouse, and talks with them if they are extra-calm. He doesn't want someone -- or anyone -- to be hurt or sad.
Lawnmower might be overprotective on occasions, but he will always prefer simple life over complicated, twisted one, considering what happened to him before correction. 
Even if he's one of the few workers who are corrected, his mind, thankfully, is suitable for working, since he still has his great knowledge of plants and machines. 
Playing with a stick of dynamite
There was never gray in black and white
There was never wrong 'til there was right (ooh, oh)
Feeling like a boulder hurtling
Seeing all the vultures circling
Burning in the flames I'm working in
Turning in a bed that's darkening
History
Hatching
Lawnmower was born in a LeafWing Village. At first, his parents were very excited about his birth. They wanted to make Lawnmower a government official and be rich, as they were ambitious and greedy. They also thought Lawnmower more as a tool for success, not a living being.
They made him study with a governor when he was only a year old. Lawnmower strongly resisted, but Sequoia made him study by threatening him to do or he will starve. He even wondered why Sequoia was named after the great LeafWing queen who died while the dragon in front of him was the polar opposite.
Dragonethood
When Lawnmower was two, his little sibling Grasscutter was born. Like Lawnmower, his parents wanted to make the little dragonet their 'tool,' and he hated it as he knew the truth, and wanted Grasscutter to do walk their own way. He often played with Grasscutter and learned to socialize.
As Lawnmower grew up, he found out that he had great talent in fixing machines. His sibling and closest thing that he could have as a friend, Grasscutter, was the first one to find out. They often requested Lawnmower to fix junks they found in abandoned yards, and he gladly accepted.
Unfortunately, Lawnmower's parents, who were strict about their child's future, found out about his talent. Instead of praising about how he deals with machines greatly, they scolded him. Sequoia ranted about how he should be rich in his adulthood, not doing 'junk stuff.' Grove hit him hard and continued to verbally abuse him. Grasscutter watched them in fear as the two LeafWings harassed poor Lawnmower.
When the household became quiet again, Lawnmower, who was having trouble with his gender identity a lot while growing up, came out as trans male and told his family that he will go by he/they pronouns, he/him preferred. Sequoia was furious about it -- She kept calling him a 'she' and screamed how it was a 'dishonor' to the family. Grove wasn't accepting either.
Only Grasscutter, who already came out as non-binary to Lawnmower, accepted his gender identity as they both understood each other and actually were LGBTQ+. That night, Grasscutter and Lawnmower decided that it would be the best to not told their parents about their gender.
On a sunny day, Grasscutter mysteriously disappeared. Lawnmower called their name and tried to find them, but his parents didn't even blink an eye. Frustrated with his parents, he continued to find his beloved sibling by himself. 
That evening, Lawnmower found Grasscutter's corpse beneath a statue. The doctors decided their death wasn't accidental, and presumably attempted, as the scars were made by Grasscutter himself. They said Grasscutter plunged himself intentionally to the bottom without moving his wings. He was utterly shocked and was devastated at the death of his only joy of life, best friend, and someone who actually trusted him.
Academy Year
When Lawnmower had his sixth hatching day, he just toyed with another broken machine gloomily. Then, Sequoia and Grove burst into his room. They were pleased about how Lawnmower was accepted to an academy of prodigies and intelligent dragons, who preferred to do 'important stuff' unlike him. They thought the academy would 'fix' Lawnmower and come to his sense.
Lawnmower, depressed and still grieving his sibling's death, accepted, thinking it'd be better once he meets other dragons. He packed his belongings, took some roasted bugs -- which were Grasscutter's favorite food -- and flew to the academy, not really worrying about what will happen.
It turned out worse than he expected. Dragonets weren't interested in Lawnmower and they never intended to interact with this outsider. All they did to Lawnmower were chatting and using law-related words so they could avoid talking to him. The classes weren't great, too. Their education system was way too complicated to his knowledge since his parents didn't teach him anything.
Feeling lonely, he saw a small cedar sapling at the corner of his dorm. His clawmate SkyWing was asleep at that moment. He tried to imagine what it would feel like to have an actual friend besides Grasscutter and talked to the little plant, having a bite of a roasted bug. To Lawnmower's surprise, it actually talked to him with language that he could somehow understand. The cedar sapling introduced itself as 'Ced' and told him about his leafspeak power.
Few days later, one of the dragonets started to spread rumors about how he acted creepy and sulky. Then another dragonet told them how he talked to himself and doesn't participate in classes. They all turned their backs on him and decided that he was a peculiar dragon.
Lawnmower heard the rumor from the plants as it got bigger. At first, he didn't believe it -- he thought the plants were playing pranks on him. Then, he started to see dragons eyeing like as if he's a mass murderer. Some SandWings put fake scorpions in his bed. Even his clawmate didn't try to stop the bullying -- she just ignored whenever Lawnmower was in trouble.
As the days went on, Lawnmower desperately wanted to end his life. His eyes became clear sapphire-blue to misty blue. Lawnmower tried telling the teachers about the bullying, but they failed to find evidences as the whole students were hiding blood marks and weapons. He wounded himself every night, feeling terrible. However, the plants around him cured the scars every morning. They were probably the only thing Lawnmower felt grateful to.
One day, Lawnmower decided to end his life. He jumped off a marble-floored balcony that was located in the highest floor. There were nightshade bushes beneath, but the plants defended Lawnmower from dying -- they created a stable dome of vines and flowers. He was quite surprised about their defense and found motivation to live, at least for now. He decided to leave the damned school and return to his 'home,' which won't be worse than the academy after all.
Adulthood
Lawnmower returned to his house that night. Sequoia and Grove were fast asleep, and he told the ivy vines near his house to tie his parents to a huge piece of wood while they were asleep. Then he choked them with the vines while he listened to the hopeless screams of his parents.
Lawnmower left his former house after he mourned for his dead sibling Grasscutter and erased all signs of his abusive parents.
Correction
Text
Current
After Lawnmower got corrected, his painful part of his memory was mostly erased, and only joy filled his mind. He still had his knowledge of plants since it was one of his few 'better memories,' and Lawnmower volunteered to be a gardener for the Ministry of Joy. Some dragons were anxious about a corrected dragon working as another employee, but the others didn't have any problems with it.
Lawnmower figured out that he also had talent in fixing broken machines and became a part-time mechanic. The plants were supportive of him, though they were a bit temperamental. He currently is a gardener and a mechanic of The Sanctuary.

(Queen) Sequoia
Lawnmower thinks Queen Sequoia deserved better, as he thinks her name is too pretty and majestic for his mother's.
Sequoia
Lawnmower hates Sequoia more than Grove, as she is the one who usually abused him.
The Smiler

Look in the mirror of my mind
Turning the pages of my life
Walking the path so many paced a million times
Drown out the voices in the air
Leaving the ones that never cared
Picking the pieces up and building to the sky
