CottonWings

The CottonWings are a coalition of LeafWings founded by Rose and Princess Juniper. After enduring many losses at the beginning of the war, the two LeafWings broke away from the tribe with at least 20 other LeafWings in order to create an isolated society that has nothing to do with the war.
Due to focusing on other subjects than the war effort, the CottonWings were capable of finding a way to fight off the othermind, preventing members from being possessed. They made an alliance with the Diadem Village and Immunity to restore old relations.
==Description ==
The CottonWings were originally located further above the Den of Vipers to the left of the Eye of the Jungle. The village was stored in a deep slump of the jungle covered in controlled foliage with the village built around it. There are many tree houses and cottages like the Rainforest Kingdom, the main one being a castle, named the Tree of Fire for it's attraction of fireflies, made of multiple cottages together with 1 main one at the top. There are some huts on the jungle floor, though mostly compact with small towns of merchant aisles and training facilities. There is a cottage for research apart of the Tree of Fire, mainly looking over the othermind.
Since the forest fire caused by the othermind through Blue, the tribe connected with Immunity to create a safe passage to the canyons, using scouts to avoid the breath of evil's smoke. They're regrown their society in patches of forests in the canyons, planting seeds and rebuilding houses. The new Tree of Fire snuggles between deep valleys, protected by multiple forestry. There was an attempt with Diadem Village to move up Beetle Lake, however no scouts have returned, bringing the assumption that the breath of evil may be over there.
===Goal===
The CottonWings wish to remain removed from the war, supporting neither side, eventually isolating from the other factions entirely. Without worrying about the conflict, they shifted their focus to taming the breath of evil, currently being able to fend it off. The village is mostly free from the invasive plant from precautious removal with the use of donated flamesilk from Diadem Village.
===Culture===
The CottonWings are the most wealthy faction from sticking far from the war. There are many events from parties to sports. Gardening and agriculture is highly valued, leafspeaks skillful and aiding the process being as important as those who can weave away the othermind. Leafspeak are placed on a pedestal as much as others would place animus dragons.
CottonWings retain original LeafWing culture and traditions, often having exclusive days to meditate and connect with their environment. CottonWings have become knowledgable of the jungle staying there the longest, able to dodge traps and heal what was thought to be unhealable poisons. The only exception is dragonbite venom, though there is a medicine to subside it before it is burned out. Students are taught more about different animal and plant species than other tribes and the war.
They wish to remain neutral and isolated from the war effort, denying requests of help in the earlier days when they were still contactable. They only tend to ally with other neutral groups such as the Diadem Village, though their recent contributions have put them on edge.
CottonWings are named after flowers, actions of plants, berries, shrubbery, and other smaller plants instead of trees or carnivorous and poisonous plants. While trees are an option, it's usually reserved for royalty.
==Members==
The CottonWing council communes in the 4th floor of the Tree of Fire visible to citizens below. Each dragon lays on a tree stump marked with their occupation. The royal family is included, particularly the 3 eldest including the queen. Most often this is the queen, her selected heir, and an entrusted family member. The dragon of defense often is related to stopping invaders, HiveWing, LeafWing and SilkWing alike, though dragons visibly go easier with SilkWings and LeafWings. Dragonities is a combination of Dragon Health and Dragonet Care. Remaining jobs are generally the same as any other council.

==History==
2 years into the Tree Wars, Princess Birch, daughter of Sequoia, was killed after attempting to return with her hybrid son, Thistle. Oak, her twin sister, grieved her death while hiding Thistle from the HiveWing army, further prompting the Tree Wars. Though Oak was too traumatized to keep fighting, wanting to opt out of the war all together. Her along with others like her all fled far from where they believed neither HiveWings nor LeafWings could find them, deeper into the jungle.
Originally settlement was slightly rocky, though with the aid of many leafspeaks, the space was cleared and development began. Eventually after 5 years construction was complete, along with ways to combat the creeping othermind to protect the village. Overtime as they grew, either faction began to ask for their aid. The PoisonWings wanted more of their dragons, especially leafspeaks, while SapWings wanted to aid in increasing defenses. However fearing that either would result in returning to the war, the CottonWings refused both, eventually finding a way to cut contact all together. The queen never attended conferences due to fear particularly of Sequoia.
At the mass fire caused by Blue, the CottonWings began fleeing underground. They were unable to extinguish it and moved into a cave near the shore. Many months were spent recuperating numbers and rebuilding. Afterwards, lead by Bristle, a project was made using leafspeak to regrew the shrubbery the faction once loved.
== Relations ==
=== PoisonWings ===
Both dislike each other. The CottonWings view them as stubborn, violent and selfish, slowly destroying themselves trying to fight in a won war. Meanwhile the PoisonWings find them lazy and spineless.
=== SapWings ===
The CottonWings are more friendly towards SapWings. At recent relaxing of the faction, the CottonWings believe the SapWings are finally trying to move from the conflict entirely. Some CottonWings moved or came from the SapWing faction. Though they refuse to trade with them, eventually blocking contact due to an incident. Still residents are allowed to move between the villages as they please, though any attempt to hog messages from them is caught and removed entirely.
=== Diadem Village ===
CottonWings has a strong alliance with Diadem Village to restore old Pantala prior to Wasp's rule. They have a healthy trade, the most common one being specific plants for silk.
=== Immunity ===
CottonWings has a strong alliance with the Immunity to restore old Pantala prior to Wasp's rule. They have a healthy trade, the most common being wood for gems.
=== Other Pantalans ===
CottonWings are more stoic to others. Even SilkWings are often rejected from the village unless they're apart of Diadem Village in fear Wasp may be using one to infiltrate and track them down. HiveWings are denied for the same exact reason, only Thistle being allowed to enter. Neutral LeafWings are the only other Pantalans allowed in the society.
Though SilkWings and factioned LeafWings can stay in dormitories until being transported to their faction or the Diadem Village.
==Trivia==
* The village is named after Queen Diadem, Monarch's mother.
