Introduction
Dodona is, first and foremost, a messenger. Her main purpose is to pass on the knowledge of the trees she guards, merely a conduit. It has been said that she is merely an animated puppet, summoned to do the plants' every bidding, but that is untrue. She guards a grove of trees, tucked away in the Poison Jungle. These trees are very odd, in that they give advice, and can often foretell the future. Dodona serves as a translator and guide, steering dragons who are looking for these incredible trees in the right direction, and translating their messages.
Appearance
Dodona is sunlight on the forest floor, a quiet spring afternoon, the peace of a sunlit wood. This leafwing has brown main scales with gold-yellow overlapping them, like sunlight through autumn leaves. She is no larger than a three-year-old dragonet, but something about her suggests she's seen enough for a thousand lifetimes. In reality, she knows much, much more. Her eyes are overlaid with a golden-white film, displaying her blindness. Even so, she sees everything that is to be seen. She carries herself with a special grace that is unknown to other dragons, and has an air of wisdom about her that even the oldest dragon's can't claim. 
Personality
Dodona is unreadable, an unknown force. She reminds one of a creaky old forest, the wind whispering through the branches. A whisper that hold immeasurable wisdom, gained through centuries. She speaks in a soft, whispery voice, that one must lean closer to hear. But if they listen, her whispers hold advice for the time to come, advice that the trees have whispered to her. Advice that she is whispering to you in turn. Legends say she never leaves the grove and never will. Her blindness only increases the curiousity and pity of others. Such a small dragonet, and she seems to have gone through so much. When one finds the trees, they must simply ask the grove a question, and they will respond. Dodona serves to translate these messages and relay them back onto you. Perhaps that is all. Perhaps she has no personality, and is just a puppet summoned to serve this very purpose. Or, the legends say, she is the grove. It is up to you to decide.
History
This special dragon holds centuries of memories in her own small body, memories that have granted her wisdom over the years. From the moment she came out of the egg, the forest whispered to her, told her of times to come. The grove raised her, and she has granted her life to them in turn. Dodona has grown very, very slowly, like a tree. The name she chose for herself, Dodona, refers to an ancient grove of prophetic trees, much like the one she resides in. She has been guarding these trees since the dawn of dragon times, and will be guarding them to the end.
