appearance
agouti's color palette is kept to a spectrum of mint and light greens with hints of gold here and there. her scales are mint green with faded hints of red staining them. though one would wish to hope this is just part of her preferred color palette, this is indeed blood. though it is faded from washing, now appearing like faded red paint. these bloodstains are seen more prominently on her underbelly that is a darker shade of mint green in color.
gold compliments the mint green, going down her sides as large dots. four elongated teardrop-shaped patterns decorate her showy light mint green ruff. more gold is seen rimming the base of agouti's twisty dull moss green horns. her eyes are a bright yellow and the pupils are interestingly misshapen into flowers. on the topic of flowers, a golden flower of no particular species is seen tucked in her left ear. it never shows any sign of wilting, and its petals have faint blood stains on them.
upon her face are other shades of light mint green circling her eyes. the rows of scales are much darker going across the muzzle towards her eyes and above them. much lighter rows of mint green scales are seen underneath her eyes and at the tip of her muzzle. agouti's scales and body as a whole are transparent. not enough that it's entirely noticeable, but enough to confirm her to be a ghost. the rainwing's nose horn is much longer and sharper than that of a normal rainwing's nose horn. in color is it the same as that of the horns coming from the back of her head.
agouti's wings are short and seem only capable of gliding rather than true flight. the membranes are similar in color to that of her ruff colors. it is much darker, with a few drops of gold near the edges of the wings. her build has a curvy frame that can easily slip into small spaces. while her legs are considerably long, she fails to be considered tall. her talons are dull from the ground wearing them and aren't very effective in a fight. easily can her ears be compared to that of a rabbit, being long and floppy. often to are limp by the sides of her head and only perk up when she hears something.
personality
*acted more... primitive compared to other dragons. behavior could easily be compared to that of a wild beast.
*doesn't talk, makes animal noises. she just... hisses, purrs or growls to express her thoughts.
**was never taught how to talk or read. askar isn't really suited for that sort of stuff and she refuses to leave the depths of the rainforest.
*cunning, clever, and mischievous. knows how to get on other people's nerves.
*small and mean.
*used to not understand the concept that killing people is morally incorrect. most of the dragons she actually killed were witch or ghost hunters. dragons she wanted to get revenge on. only kills birds and small mammals now.
*acted off of instinct rather than emotion. did whatever it took to stay alive.
*could be considered naïve, i suppose. has been tricked before in the past, but is starting to smarten up.
* but hates being betrayed and often will try to get revenge on the one who betrayed her.
*used to be much happier when she was alive, but after an incident involving bad dragons finding where her and her mother lived she became empty, aggressive and vengeful.
*would be more terrifying is she wasn't so short and small.
*never taught to not bite others when they annoy her.
history
*lived on the outskirts of a sleepy rainwing village. practiced black magic and made potions with her mum. but since that sort of thing was outlawed, they had to do it in secret.
*more connected to the rainforest than most dragons. came from a lineage of wild witches and potion makers who had a strong connection to the wilderness.
*while her mum was a bit more civilized (she could talk, albeit not very well), agouti was much more wild and fierce. untamable by society.
* were banished after the citizens of the village found out they were going into the cursed depths of the rainforest where evil lurked to gather ingredients for potions. their magic was discovered soon afterwards.
*exiled to the depths of the rainforest so that all evil could stay in one place. this didn't bother them too much, but in knowing bad dragons might be after them, they went into hiding.
*this worked for awhile, but one day a group of particularly nasty witch hunters came to their parts of the wood. told there were some hiding in the depths of the woods.
*well... you probably know what happened then.
*her spirit didn't move on, it was sowed to the earth by the gods. wanted to get revenge on the witch hunters who wronged her.
*stills acts like she used to sorta. just isn't as happy and morally-driven as she used to be.
*kills any witch or ghost hunters who come into the depths of the rainforest. was the main cause of dragons thinking the depths of the rainforest where no light reaches is haunted.
*can't do magic in the afterlife and can't use potions either even though she can make them.
relationships
please roleplay beforehand
mother
it is completely undoubtful that the rainwing deeply cared for her mother and her wellbeing. willing to do anything to protect her, even if that means recklessly endangering herself. though such behavior isn't quite supported by her mother. the two were often seen collecting resources for potions within the depths of the forest, teaching her everything she needed to know. the two were wild together and their deep connection to the rainforest made them a very powerful force when combined. agouti admired and respected her mother greatly and followed in her footsteps almost exactly.
that isn't to say they had their conflicts. occasionally would the rainwing find her mother to be overprotective when it came to wandering the town. how many rules she had to follow for her own protection when in the town. it always annoyed her despite knowing where she was coming from. devastated when she was killed, agouti seeks revenge on anyone who has any association with the dragons who killed the two of them. any witch hunters and ghost hunters who walk into the territory of agouti are quick to disappear without a trace. a warning that those who hurt her are unwelcome.
very positive
askar
although the two's relationship started off on the wrong hand, a strong bond is seen between the two. originally thinking the hybrid was a witch hunter from his choice of clothing he quickly resolved the mix-up before any harm was done. the two have been exploration partners for about 10 months now and it appears that askar has brought out the good in agouti. while still untamed by nature, she seems to act more... sisterly towards this dragon. despite refusing to talk in anything but the tongue she shares with her mother, askar seems to understand enough to work with her. though there are occasional miscommunications.
she is intrigued by him and the occasional gifts he brings with him. especially the music box he bought at a pawn shop. askar shares a lot of her, the more modern inventions from the outside she refuses to enter. agouti enjoys teasing the hybrid, often hiding in bushes or in the treetops to jump him when he goes looking for her. even though he's used to this behavior by now, she still can make him jump every now and then, much to his annoyance. being much more knowledgeable when it comes to exploring the depth of the rainforest, agouti acts as guide. confident strides compared to askar's more hesitant ones.
very positive
dragontail
found out what he was really up to. on bad terms.
negative - formerly positive
trivia
*original concept agouti was once a dragon named horoscope who changed her name after being exiled for being a bringer of bad luck. upon death she became soul-bound to two other dragons, one of these being dragontail. while most of this was scrapped, although her relationship with the aforementioned dragontail remained, though admittedly it wasn't positive like it was before. her relationship with askar was also not scrapped, though it's a bit different from the original concepts.
*i'm thinking there's going to be some inspiration from the movie wolf walkers, specifically the character maeve. this was used for general personality (the character) and history (the movie), though creative liberties were greatly taken.
