Ely

do i know what i'm doing?
absolutely not.

// 
character for the nostalgia oc contest by scroll ;; probs like sea/mud or like sea/sky or mud/sky or maybe all three Who Knows. certainly not me
ely. like, eli. rolls off the tongue. it's simple, just the way that wing like it.
nostalgia ,, blurb thing to go off of i guess ;;
> raindrops on gazebo roofs and glass windowpanes and hazed murmurs and. and tadpoles. and rain. hazed and the edges blurred and the droplets slightly clouding your vision through the translucent material of your plain plastic umbrella that you bought at a storeside kiosk for no more than a piece of silver. the fog pressing upon the material, your breath misting the window panes as you press yourself closer towards the cool spring day outside, your nose brushing ever so slightly into the cold glass.

notes -
* very cool. ely. like. elysian. but ely they're Cool like that
*they/xey/wing/fog pronouns perhaps
*[ they/them/their/theirs/themself ; xey/xem/xyr/xyrs/xemself ; wing/wing/wings/wings/wingself ; fog/fog/fogs/fogs/fogself ]
*is cool with both masculine and feminine terms — i.e., 'girlfriend,' 'brother,' and doesn't mind gender neutral terms but honestly just prefer masculine & feminine terms over those because it's just so incredibly Gender
*rather,, calming shades? light pastels, swirled together, drifting from one shade to another, pressed against each other like fogged glass.
*dragonet, though lives in the areas of pyrrhia where it's basically impossible to go to a proper school — it's alright, though. xey've got xyr grandmother, and xey don't need anything else.
*has enough scrolls, plus what xyr grandmother teachers xem, anyways to learn enough 
*home. home. home home home home home. it's a strange concept.
*hummed beats and rhythmic claw taps upon cold marble. ely's simply vibing, and avi are content with their life.
* mud/sea hybrid , but with enough skywing and rainwing blood to affect fogs appearance slightly — a slightly slimmer tail, curling into more of a loop, and the barest shades of smooth sunset fuscias and maroons and the barest touches of a quiet tangerine.
*grew up hearing all these stories about family and how they always stick together, but never grew up with sibs as was promised by half of fogs bloodline, instead growing up with xyr grandmother instead — an old, kindly mudwing who was not in reality related to ely in any way, but instead was a friend of xyr late grandparents [ who'd presumably died in the war, from what ely could figure — though sy had never known any other family apart from skys grandmother, and therefore had never mattered much to them ]
*from what they could remember [ faint memories, of dragons that came and went and never returned ] and from what little bits that er had picked up from the other mudwings, mudwing parents were truly ,,, not all that great.
*bro i need to give their grandma a name uhh
*her name is egret now ig
*honestly? fog's a sucker for the idea of home. and family.
*kind of quiet — ambivert. hesitant to initiate contact, always afraid of everything and anything being awkward, but once you get er going wing'll just. wing won't stop talking LMAO
*hangs out with the neighborhood kids. ely's honestly not super close to any of them — like, to the point where it could easily turn into a 'childhood best friends to lovers' type beat, but it's not like they don't not like each other either. it's just. it's just them.
*isn't the best hunter simply because wing cares too much about the animals that xey are supposed to be trying to eat and spends their time cooing over them and being a squirrel taxi to kill them
*innocent, really. while fog don't exactly think that they know everything about the world, they're still almost preciously arrogant in that aspect.
*quiet steps, curled into themselves as if almost afraid to move. but when they look up from where wings glance had been entrenched, tied to the ground, xyr smile is so genuine that it is impossible to doubt its truth.
