appearance“a deal's a deal, they'll never know.”
toto's main scales appear to be a clear teal coloration with hints of cyan peaking in and out of view across his body. though from his round appearance with rarely any sharp points, it's his expression that wards others off.
dark blue horns protrude from the back of his head, being noticeably long and wavy and one of the only sharp angles on him. pastel green glasses are perched on the bridge of his snout, usually hiding his eyes from a frontal view. this is due to him purposefully aiming them so light hides his eyes.
from other views, however, toto's eyes are a rather plain blue, much lighter in contrast to his horns. from the top of his head to his gills to down his back, there is a dark teal coloration seen. perhaps the most unusual part of his persona is how his sail curves outwards instead of inwards.
blue-turquoise is the color of all of toto's membranes with the exception of his small ruff, which is more cyan in color. light blue patterns are seen on the prince's ears, a long stripe and a line near the tip of his ear.
the luminous patterns, light blue in color, come in a variety of shapes, most commonly x's across the sides of his body. small dots and lines are seen in the gaps between the x's. three teardrop-shaped luminous patterns are seen in the corner of his eyes. cyan triangles are seen underneath his eyes.
toto is considerably chubby, especially around his legs and neck, his snout is rather short and his ears are rather big to the point where they're showy. he's rather short for his age, with an arching back and a thick tail that drags. toto's wings are rather small, though strong enough to get him into the air.
yellowing canines can be seen slightly sticking out from his mouth, which could be comparable to the likes of rainwings. in his right ear there is a gold plug earring in the shape of a star, the only form of jewelry he wears.
personality“there are some things i can never understand.”
toto is a being of knowledge... and very little else. most of his time is spent outside the city walls, and he doesn't seem to be too fond of home. as an aspiring history enthusiast, toto is very interested in and knowledgeable on ancient history. he also has extensive knowledge on pyrrhian geography, political relations, and the like, but these are more hobbies than anything. 
with the prince's knowledge came a few other... more unsavory personality traits. most notably pride and perfectionism. because he finds himself to be one of the smartest dragons in the kingdom, he can be rather condescending, dismissive, and self-congratulatory. 
but such pride is a double-edged sword, as whenever he gets something incorrect, but becomes riddled with self-doubt and often gets flustered. since most of his self-worth stems from his intelligence, he often refrains from asking questions and just finds out the answer himself. not wanting to out himself as ignorant or uninformed. 
he also has a tendency of overthink things, though he doesn't seem to acknowledge it as overthinking as he does "planning two steps ahead." these are the roots of his crippling paranoia about getting assassinated. 
in truth, he fears death and his own mortality and believes that, because he's the son of a rather disliked king, that his status is putting a target on his back. as such he gets indignant whenever someone refers to him as "prince," or anything synonymous to that. 
toto sleeps lightly and is always cautious, especially so when he resides in the castle. he refuses to wear his crown outside the castle walls and often insists on his father taste tests his food and drink before consuming it himself. "just in case someone decides to slip something into it," he says. 
due to not being able to sleep well, the seawing is often tired, short-tempered, and irritable. though his aloof and sarcastic behavior is typical for him, this irritability from a lack of sleep is slowly becoming a norm as well. 
despite never wanting to be like his father, to the point that the two aren't on good terms with each other, toto carries some of his father's more useful traits. the seawing can be manipulative and cunning, though not going to the lengths his father does to get information out of people. 
he's also prone to being mean-spirited and petty when he has a grudge against someone. 
toto enjoys a good logic puzzle or riddle every now and then and additionally has a strong fascination with magic, something that is said to be completely extinct. though he's found a jerky magic man who is still able to practice it, which is perhaps the only reason toto spends time with the dragon. 
this fascination and study of magic is kept secret, however, as magic is seen a dangerous, unpredictable, and needed to be disposed of. though the reason behind why this sentiment is so commonly shared amongst all the kingdoms, toto isn't sure. 
he's very skilled with knives and is gifted in combat. he's rather fond of teasing his opponents during and especially after fights (only when he wins). this plays more into his mean-spirited nature.

toto is a skilled individual, it isn't really a secret. from their intellect to their keen sense of observation, the seawing prince demands at least a little respect.

trivia“worry not, i intend to be quick.”
 
*moral alignment is lawful neutral.
*has gotten a revamp, both character-wise and the fourth time design-wise.
*the luminous patterns on the sides of toto's body were supposed to be butterfly-shaped, but they really just look like x's.
*his ear patterns a very similar to that of another character of mine's. this was unintentional, i don't know what happened there.
*was originally got a friendship contest, but i think i dropped out. i don't remember the name of the other character toto was paired with him.
*owns a lot of small blades. always keeps a folding switchblade under his pillow at all times.
*toto is short for totoro. because i said so. isn't related in anyway to the ghibli movie.
*despite technically being royal, he isn't of actual royal blood and therefore doesn't have any royal patterns on his wings.
*constantly pushes up his glasses so the lenses catch the light and hide his eyes. thinks this makes him come off as cool and mysterious. it doesn't.
*would definitely be into dungeons and dragons and the like if such things existed in his universe.
relations“is that it? hmph, how mundane...”
please roleplay beforehand
midas: manipulative, cunning, greedy, and smart. was never too fond of his father, as he's quite aloof towards toto and never seems to answer his questions. doesn't know much about his past and what made him hate magic so much. can never shake the feeling that he's planning on assassinating him. negative
longfang: the royal advisor... and perhaps the king's second in command. though that's not public knowledge. is suspicious of him and wonders if the nightwing has any ulterior motives. so far he doesn't seem to be actively trying to manipulate or harm the king or toto himself, but he's still on guard. negative
aesthetic: an exiled magic man who lives in the forests of selene. finds him difficult to deal with due to his zaniness and general rudeness. despite his frustrations with the seawing, he finds his animus magic to be incredible and utterly awe-inspiring, and he often finds himself wanting to learn more about it.
perhaps, the desire to seek knowledge is what keeps toto coming back to this rather strange character. toto often does favors for the animus in exchange for magical gifts... if he's in a giving mood which is usually not the case. mixed - somewhat positive
cazots: has only encountered them on a couple of occasions, one in which he easily bested them, much to their displeasure. finds them to be rather unwise and brutish. also finds the fact that they wear their crown outside the safety of their kingdom to be particularly preposterous. neutral / negative
cheshire: the prince of anmut, the kingdom of the east. has met him a few times when he travelled to the heart of pyrrhia, where all four kingdoms meet to discus world events. was never fond of him from the time they first met, with his self-congratulatory and charismatic personality never quite clicking with toto. neutral / negative
