Appearance
Strawberry is certainly a unique and kind individual, their main scales are a very pale pink that could be mistaken for white at a glance. While once bright it is now dulled by muddy stains, usually on their legs, tail, and snout. Even though their gills look like the same color as their main scales, they are just a bit deeper in color compared to their main scales. White covers their underbelly as well as the membranes of their wings. Strawberry's sail, webbing between talons, and chest fin is a light strawberry pink. This color is also seen on their wrists, ankles, and around their snout. Pink luminous patterns decorate their scales, bringing out more color. They go underneath their eyes, across the sides of their body, up the front of their legs, and across their underbelly.
A velvety pink coloration goes down the back of the SeaWing, this color is also seen swirling down the halfway point of their tail as well as on their wings. Though originally faint to start out, it slowly gets deeper in color the farther it goes down the wings and tail. Additionally, this color is also seen on the flat scales going up the wings from the shoulders up to the wing spurs. The pink of Strawberry's horns are a deeper pink than that of their luminous patterns. This is also seen on their talons as well as their wing spurs. Their eyes are maroon or dark pink in color depending on the lighting, but they're always dark in color. A silver ring with a dark pink jewel is seen on their left talon and is only ever seen when Strawberry is inside their house.
The SeaWing's build is bulky and well-muscled with a generally well-rounded height that doesn't make them seem at all intimidating. They're a bit slouched over, keeping their head low, as they're usually looking for something. Their talons are worn after years of both filing them down and working with them. Though it is possible that they could still deal a decent amount of damage if they were inclined to do so. While outside Strawberry wears a swamp green cloak that blends in well with the mud and trees. This hides their brightly colored scales, making them somewhat less of a possible target for attacks. A hood is found present on this cloak, but they only seem to wear it when they wish to hide their face from a watching eye.
Personality 
*incredibly kind, caring, and friendly. is also very lonely and is so starved for contact with other dragons that they'll literally try to befriend almost anyone.
* isn't friends with very unpleasant people and tends to just not interact with them or watch them from afar.
* rather sheltered and doesn't know much of the world outside of the swamps of the mudwing queendom. all knowledge of the outside world they get is from others. lives vicariously through others because they're too afraid to leave the confides of lost marsh.
*feels purposeless without guests to care for and often ponders their purpose in life when there isn't someone else present because they now have so much free time that they don't know what to do with. craves companionship, but always gets cold feet when they consider actually seeking out others. would much prefer others seek them.
*emotionally dependent on others and fears losing them. has trouble letting people go because they don't want to be alone. will go to great lengths to keep friends from leaving, but will never force them to stay.
* often takes things at face value and doesn't really understand jokes or sarcasm. often takes these thing too literally or seriously.
*doesn't like talking about their past and often gets incredibly anxious or physically ill when talking about... certain dragons they have history with. these dragons' names are also trigger words for them.
*their loneliness has made them somewhat selfish.
*extremely apologetic and gets rather frantic and flustered when they make mistakes in high-stress situations... or if they're just stressed out in general. this behavior is only shown in the presence of another.
*prone to developing crushes of those who are closest to them.
*mutters things to themself quite a lot. especially when trying to calm themself down or reassure themself. if someone points out that they can hear their ramblings, they'll fall silent from embarrassment.
*sometimes falls into... drinking in excess when left alone for long periods of time.
Abilities
*normal seawing abilities. can breathe and see underwater and, with the help of their luminous patterns, can also see pretty well in the dark.
*animus, though they're an amateur at best. definitely not in the skill level to actually teach anyone magic, but oh well. knows the basics well and does have some knowledge of more complex spells, but still has a lot to learn themself.
*good at cooking and even better at baking. has had lots of time to practice. also has expansive knowledge on edible plants in the region and basic survival and first-aid training.
*relies mostly on their magic for healing and tending to wounds. this aspect of their magic prowess is certainly worthy of praise.
History
i'm redoing this!! 
* lived in a small, very tight-knit community near the border between the mudwing queendom and rainforest territories. was very close with other members of this community and was quite emotionally dependent on them.
* worked as a farmer and cook.
*the use of magic by anyone except gods was seen as evil and those who were caught practicing it were exiled, executed, or punished severely.
*or alternatively they'd be sacrificed to the god they worship, in exchange for fertile soil to grow crops. strawberry cake, referred to as alabaster, was one of those sacrifices. though they managed to flee before they could be sacrificed.
*went into hiding in the most cursed part of the mudwing queendom, the lost marsh, and would eventually take up residence in an abandoned cabin they found within.
* began to grow lonely in their solitude, not being used to complete isolation.
*one day met an aloof sandwing after saving him from a crocodile that was attacking him. brought him back to their cabin to tend to his wounds and learned he was here for magic.
*desperate for company, they claimed themself to be one of the greatest magic users in the mudwing queendom, which was far from the truth. they were an animus, but were pretty average in skill level. and from then on they began "teaching" him how to wield magic, though progress has been... slow.
----
old 
*interested in how witchcraft could be used to modern-day healing. the head of the village had past trauma with witchcraft and strictly banned it, no matter if it was helpful or not.
*practiced in secret after finding a worn journal in the library. it was written by a now deceased witch who used to live in the same village who wanted to pass down their teachings.
*only focused on learning as much healing magic as possible. one day, when a dragonet injured his leg, strawberry was quick to heal him up. he and his parents witnessed the seawing healing the dragonet's injured leg and was payed back by being exiled into the depths of the swamps to "practice magic where it's contained, witch."
* lived in pretty intense isolation for years, scared and alone in an unforgiving world of magic. magic that only resided in the depths of the swamps.
*uh, some other stuff, i guess.
* meets bede, a sarcastic, bitter sandwing who lived with his adoptive father, rose, who is the mayor of sandbreeze. used to a life of luxury, but also of neglect and desperation to be loved.
*desperate to be appreciated, recognized, and adored by rose, he set off to the depths of the swamps, looking for magic or something flashy.
*strawberry met him when he was being attacked by a crocodile that had ambushed him. strawberry managed to save him and took him back to their hut to heal him.
*his right foreleg was broken and a lot of gruesome scars covered his body. though healing broken bones was out of their magic limit, they managed to heal up his scars pretty well. wasn't a "poof, cured" sort of thing, but he sorta dulled the pain, stopped the bleeding and kinda just fixed up the scars.
*bede wasn't too pleased to see this dragon, almost got them with his barbed tail (even though it didn't have any poison in it), but even he knew to be grateful.
*as soon as he wasn't bleeding and he could walk properly (well, as properly as he could with a broken leg) he was out the door. strawberry stopped him, refusing to let him go back out and get himself killed.
*took care of him for months... maybe 7 or 8. bede started to grow attached to them and decided to stay (for now at least). he couldn't go anywhere anyways and it's not like rose will come to this dangerous place to find him (even if he distantly hopes so).
*strawberry and bede are sort of like training partners, but are practicing witchcraft together. while strawberry is hesitant to train bede to use any magic that would harm others, they know that's going to be his only way home.
Trivia 
*moral alignment is neutral good.
*love languages are words of affirmation, physical touch, quality time, and gift giving.
*their name came from the title of their original design adopt, strawberry cake, the name stuck afterward because i thought it was a nice name from them.
*originally they were going to be a potion-maker who wanders pyrrhia, i changed the concept for the questionable aspects in their backstory.
*tends to wring their wrists or fidget with their talons when nervous. also fidgets with their whiskers and the webbing between their talons as well.
*doesn't understand aquatic as they were never exposed to the language.
Relationships
please roleplay beforehand
Bede
their only real friend now. while he can be sarcastic and rude, he's grown kinder with time. they have become quite attached to him, so much so that their heart aches whenever he's gone for long periods of time. is fascinated by the world and tribes outside the marsh bede describes, wishes to learn more but gets nervous whenever the sandwing brings up the prospect of travelling there.
Very Positive
