appearance
i don't like you because of your looks, although i dare say you are really pretty. i like you because you are you.
Anima might not be the most striking dragon in existence, but when she walks into a room, her presence announces itself.
Being a hybrid, she neither looks like a pure SkyWing or RainWing, or even an IceWing. She's kind of an odd mix of the two former tribes, being the dominant traits in her blood. She's not very large in size - in fact, many consider her to be rather small, though not to the point of being tiny. She is neither thin or chubby - neither one of those words really fit her when used alone - she is simply somewhere in between. While she still retains certain defining features of her two main tribes, such as larger wings, a pair of longer fangs and a slightly prehensile tail, almost everyone would agree that Anima is unique.
Her scales do not take after any of her base tribes, and neither are they a solid color. Their colors are a smooth gradient of lilac, light purple and soft pink, resembling an evening sky when the light casts on them at the right angle. The scales blend together smoothly, and some have commented that she literally glows in certain lighting. Because of her RainWing genes, her colors can shift in intensity, sometimes appearing darker or paler, although this is out of her control and they will only remain in these hues, some of the colors occasionally overwriting the others. They may change when she experiences a shift in mood, although a lot of times it is random. This is the same for her underbelly, except that there are a few pale streaks of blue within, the only constant color weaved into the gradients. Her wing membranes are pale lavender with a little bit of rose mixed in, and she is unable to change this color.
Anima has oddly curved spines running down her back, unlike any tribe she's from. They are flexible and move somewhat with her mood, such as straightening when she's alert or shocked. Their color is an odd gradient of purple and magenta. Her tail almost closely resembles a RainWing's prehensile tail, curling in a similar manner, and it allows her to climb trees well. A pair of grayish-purple, slightly curved horns sit on the top of her head. They aren't very long and their color is constant. She doesn't have the regular RainWing frills. Her claws lack the natural sharpness of any other dragon tribes.
Anima has a pair of soft, almost crystalline light blue eyes, with a slightly sparkling quality in them. They have a friendly, cheerful, often affectionate and sometimes contain mischievous gleam. A bright smile or grin is almost always seen spread across her face, and she has a somewhat of a carefree posture when she walks, like she has nothing to worry about. A lot of dragons would consider her cute, due to her natural charisma and facial expressions. Generally, she appears to be friendly and approachable, radiating a non-threatening aura.
If you pay attention, you will notice that Anima would never use her wings, or see her fly for that matter. And if you've suspected if it is because she couldn't, you would be right. It was a disease she was born with, and with that disease came her permanent disability. Despite that, she is able to extend and stretch her wings freely, but you can tell that she is cautious while moving them, never maneuvering them too suddenly to avoid any unwanted results. They are not entirely limp, but a lack of usage has rendered them rather weak and fragile.
 
personality
you can be happy again. your happiness belongs to you and you only. they would never be able to take it away from you, no matter how much they try... and even if they do try, i'll be by your side.
Many have described Anima to be a cute, excited ball of happiness, with an almost godly singing voice. To some extent, that is true - and she'll gladly admit that.
To start it off, she's a friendly dragon. Her extroverted nature also adds to this - there would rarely be a time where she isn't feeling ready to meet a new friend and have both long and short chats with them. Even when there's seemingly no one around, Anima can find someone to strike up a conversation with. Most of the time, the friendly vibe she gives off will convince almost anyone to respond in a kind manner, if not eagerly so. This also means that she's quite popular and well-known, and not just because of her job as a singer.
While Anima is mostly extroverted and energetic, she doesn't have to constantly move at a quick pace. She is more than okay with slowing down once in a while, and simply enjoy activities such as relaxing back at home and curling up with a cup of coffee while listening to music and/or reading a book. Of course, if she could have company over while doing so, be it a conversation partner or just a silent companion, it'd be great. She gets along with others even when their personality might be drastically different from hers, mainly because she can understand what others are comfortable with.
The dragoness has very positive and cheerful outlooks on life, often using the same mentality to boost others around her, encouraging them and doing her best to make them happy. She tries to keep everyone around her contented and pleased, especially those she holds near and dear to her heart. Her songs probably show this - most of her written songs are upbeat, cheerful, and more often than not have a quick pace, much like how Anima sees her own life as. She feels very happy and comfortable as long as she's being involved in something, and she is mostly not afraid of trying new things and experimenting. She's pretty courageous, and would never cower in fear or be silenced when it comes to being original.
However, she also has a strong sense of empathy. She understands when someone else is feeling down or having troubles, and will try her best to comfort or help them, as long as it is within her capabilities. She is very affectionate, so you can expect her to offer other dragons a hug or squeeze their talons in a way of comforting them. When those she truly cares about feels strong surges of emotion, Anima can sense them as well, as if she too was feeling them herself. As such, she cannot bear to see anyone suffering from any form of pain without doing something in an attempt to help them.
While she appears to be very optimistic and strong, especially when it comes to her disability, her strength doesn't come from nowhere. In fact, she had to go through some tough times to earn it. Anima is actually very emotionally sensitive, and some mean comments from others can really upset her, especially when the insults are personal. She is a little too much on the nice side to retort back when this happens, but that doesn't mean it doesn't affect her. Anima is in no way gullible - she knows when someone is taking advantage of her or if they're up to no good - but whether or not she defends herself is another question altogether. Her aversion to conflict might just make her a little bit of a doormat. It's not that she cannot stand up for herself, she just doesn't really want to respond to others in a way where she might be considered mean, even if that was exactly what they did to her. Usually, she appears to brush it off easily, but she's easily hurt by this. In fact, she might just cry about it later. Fortunately, she doesn't see that as a bad thing, and understands that everyone needs to be sad sometimes.
Anima is very forgiving, some might even argue overly so, and a firm believer of "everyone deserves a second chance". There are a few rare exceptions where someone could cross the line and make her resent them forever, but the chances of this happening are very low to begin with. Sometimes, her mind questions whether she should let another dragon slide by so easily, but she couldn't help it - she'll just give in. She cannot hold grudges for long, and doesn't wish to either, as it causes her immense stress to do so. Anima is also big on happy endings, and has almost made it a part of her life goals to make sure everyone gets one (unless, rarely, she deems they do not deserve it).
She is by no means arrogant or overconfident, but Anima also has some troubles with biting off more than she could chew, and not knowing when exactly to stop or back out from a task that's much too difficult to complete. She enjoys challenges and will often try her best to ace them, but it also means that sometimes she won't notice it is draining her until it's too late, and she ends up both physically and mentally exhausted without gaining much in return. Anima is the kind of dragoness who would say she's fine when she's not, but not because she lies about it on purpose - it's because she really can't tell that she has a serious problem.
Even though her job as a singer meant that she was used to pressure from crowds, she still feels a little bit insecure about herself, sometimes. She doesn't show it, having the ability to perform flawlessly, all the while showing the world her happy and friendly personality, almost radiating an aura of confidence. But Anima is still just a normal dragon. Hateful comments still hurt her, and she has just a tiny shred of self-doubt that sometimes make her question whether if she's truly good enough. In truly vulnerable moments, these thoughts could become louder in her conscious mind, and she might even end up getting all emotional because of it. It is in these times that she learns to depend on others to give her the same emotional support that she is always so willing to offer to anyone else.
However, she is a little reluctant to admit her weaknesses out loud, or simply accept the fact that she needs help. It takes a little bit of convincing to let her really accept a helping talon from someone else, not because she's distrustful of others, but rather just a fear of making herself look helpless, vulnerable, or at worst, attention-seeking. In the end, she'll always give in though, as she admits, it is nice to know that others care about her too. This used to be a bigger problem, but Anima has learned that taking care of herself is a part of taking care of others, recognizing that her needs are just as important as everyone else's.
Whether you know her or not, you cannot deny that she has a strong and unbreakable spirit - a fire that never goes out in her soul. Yes, she has had her fair share of rough times and bad moments in life - but Anima understands that no storm lasts forever, and there can't be happiness without sadness. She moves on and recovers from negative emotions quickly, and she is not one to easily lose hope or give up. She feels all the bad things a dragon could feel - fear, moments of insecurity, and gloom, but possibly one her best traits is simply knowing how to deal with them in the right way. She has, and still will, surrounded herself with positive dragons, accepting that the road that is her life isn't walked alone, and that's what makes it beautiful.
Many might assume that, as somewhat of a celebrity, Anima would be happy with all the fame, applause and praise she gets from the crowds. They are wrong - she is happy, but all of her joy simply comes from the love she gives to everyone, and the fact that is receiving so much in return.
To the little hybrid, there's simply nothing more she could ask for.
 
history
you're right, i was not born with wings to soar to through the sky. i was born with the heart to do so.
Glade and Gamboge were somewhat of an unlikely pair to begin with. They were both young students in Jade Mountain Academy, and no one really expected the quiet and reserved little RainWing to fall in love with the extroverted and sociable SkyWing in the Quartz Winglet. But they did. The two started dating in their second last year, and their relationship grew steady and quick, eventually leading to their marriage after about 5 years being together.
They moved to Sanctuary to start their new life as a couple, as both of them found satisfying jobs there - with Gamboge being a teacher at a local school and Glade being a professional healer. They were very happy with their lives together - and it wasn't long before the two agreed that they wanted dragonets. The two had decided from the beginning that they wanted 3 dragonets, and fate was extremely kind to them... well, mostly kind enough.
Their first daughter hatched just one year after their marriage. She looked almost exactly like Glade, and from the sweet pink hues of her scales, she was named Candy. Their second dragonet, Torch, resembled his father very much, in terms of both coloration and tribal genetics. Only their final daughter, their sweet little youngest dragonet, turned up... special.
Even her siblings were shocked when she first broke out of the egg that had a shell which constantly shimmered with light pinks and purples. Unlike her siblings, she resembled neither of her parents' base tribes, and Glade figured out that her faint and diminished IceWing blood must have shown up in her third and final dragonet. Despite that, though, she was pretty. Gamboge and his wife loved all three of his children very much, but doted specifically on Anima. Her father chose her name, as he had read about this word in a book before - Anima meant "soul" in another language, and Glade had agreed that it was a unique and pretty name.
Anima lived a normal life as a dragonet - as normal as any other dragon could have in a small town. She was loved and quite spoiled by both her parents and siblings, and had all the fun she possibly could, mostly with her older brother. It wasn't until when she first learned to fly that her parents found out that life had thrown a curveball in their way that they would never have expected.
When she attempted to spread her wings and flap them to soar into the skies, she managed to lift herself about 3 feet off the ground before she abruptly cried out in pain and collapsed. She couldn't stop crying out of pain, claiming that her wings hurt and it felt like they have been torn off and burned at the same time. Her parents were terrified for her safety and well-being - even Glade herself had never encountered a situation like this before despite being a healer. She was sent to the hospital for an examination, and the healers there have managed to calm her down by giving her painkillers.
However, that wasn't the end of the story. The healers had diagnosed Anima with a rare disease - something that she was born with, something that she couldn't change ever since her birth. Her wings were naturally defected - and it meant that she'll never be able to fly, not even for very low heights, for once she flaps her wings or exert too much force on them, she'll experience this excruciating pain that can only be resolved by painkillers (or simply by resting and waiting for it to pass, although that's very difficult). Her parents were worried that there might be more problems with their daughter's health, or that her disability might affect her in more ways than one. Both of their concerns turned out false - Anima was a perfectly normal dragonet if you exclude her wings, as the healers had confirmed.
This, of course, did not change how her family felt about her. They loved her just as much as they did before. At first, Anima was just a little jealous of how her siblings and other dragonets of her age could just spread their wings and leap into the open sky, but it never really bothered her much - she was still relatively happy. She mainly spent time around her friends, or at home, where her brother would entertain her endlessly. She discovered that she had an inherent talent for singing quite early on, and often hummed tunes to herself, mainly happy ones to match her mood.
Life was... a little harder when she attended school at the age of 4. Sure, she was an active part of the school's music club, and her naturally friendly character made it easy for her to socialize and get along with her classmates. However, not every dragon in school was nice. It wasn't a problem until the fact that she couldn't fly became well known to everyone. At that moment, she began hearing... comments, obviously aimed at her and her wings, and they were painful for the little dragonet to hear. She was upset, naturally, but tried not to let it bother her. It wasn't until the teasing and minor jabs became actual bullying that she actually was affected by it. From verbal to physical to mental, it's a surprise that Anima got through all of that without telling anyone, really.
The teachers only noticed this one day when the group of mean dragons gone a little too far and pushed her a little too hard when she walked past, causing her immense pain in her wings, and her cries for help alerted them. Her parents were informed of this issue, and the bullies were quickly taken care of, but that was only the beginning of those problems. Anima knew that her entire family was shocked and horrified that she never told them about the issue herself, and felt guilty for making them worry over her well-being even more. Ever since then, Torch and Candy had been watching over her more closely, especially the latter, but their sometimes overwhelming concern was the least of her worries.
After that incident in the hallway, almost everyone knew of her vulnerability and the fact that they needed to be careful around her. She wasn't exactly secluded or left out, but it became obvious through the way dragons now acted around her - with often stiff movements, forced smiles and their tendencies to avoid being too close to her. This was a huge stab to the friendly dragon's heart, and Anima didn't know she was slowly pushing down a sadness that seemed to grow with each passing day. She still had dragons to talk to daily, but except for her family, none of them ever seemed to be her true friends.
Maybe her parents figured out that she wasn't really happy in her old school, as she visibly sang less after what happened, or maybe it was just fate being kind once again, but her parents discovered a new school in a town away from where they lived - Hikari. They didn't know what about that town spoke to them, either, but regardless, Anima happily obliged with the plan to move there as a student, any way to get out of her lonely old life.
At her new school, she struggled slightly, being unused to staying away from her parents, but that early phase passed quickly, as there was a light at the end of the dark tunnel - a chance to further develop her singing skills. Her new school offered her a study plan that involved music classes, and she gladly accepted. There, her singing only improved, and many students often looked upon her with awe and admiration. At least, that got her back into singing again, and it lifted her spirits at least by a little.
Yet, her insecurities from her past experiences in her old school didn't fade. She made a few new friends, but none of them were close enough to her that she felt comfortable enough to reveal her secrets. Until the day a dragoness with turquoise scales walked into the room and caught her attention instantly.
Her name was Kurante, and much to Anima's surprise, she was the one who approached her with a cheerful smile and talked to her. She assumed that her singing had attracted the hybrid's attention, but her offer of friendship felt genuine and she accepted it immediately. For some reason, the instant she talked to her, Anima formed a special bond with the other hybrid, something that felt different from every other dragon she had talked to before. Kurante was just as energetic and happy as Anima normally was, and most importantly, she was friendly. They were almost never bored around each other, considering that their interests are vastly the same - ranging from music, their talents, and their general views about life.
However, she still didn't feel safe enough to reveal the truth about her wings yet. In the same way, despite the other hybrid's positive nature, her natural empathy told her that something was off about Kurante, something that she never told her as well. She chose not to push it, though, thinking it was just fair since she never told the other hybrid of her disability.
She ended up forming a stronger bond with the turquoise dragoness than she had expected to. She met a few more new dragons along the way - a Mud/Sea hybrid named Rush, a Rain/Ice hybrid named Utopia, and even met one of her online friends in real life named Chromium. The rest of the bonds she formed were strong as well - much better than what she had on the surface with her old friends, but none of them could top what she had with Kurante. They had little arguments here and there, but Anima could never stay mad at her for too long - she always wanted her company, and their friendship was almost always without problems, aside from the fact that both of them kept their worst secrets from each other.
Until one rainy night, both of them let it spill.
It just happened - somehow Kurante just ended up crying and in an attempt to coax her into letting out her fears, Anima admitted her own, saying that she wasn't able to fly and it often got her bullied, consequently causing her to lose some parts of her confidence. This successfully got Kurante to admit that she was afraid of thunder and lightning, due to the traumatic events in the past. They comforted each other, learning how to share their bad feelings as well as good ones in the process, and from there, their bond only strengthened.
Just like that, with one little event, Anima found her lost strength again. She sang with confidence once more, now knowing that she has a true friend that would never leave her side. She felt truly happy again, and in her natural element, doing exactly what she loved. This continued even after school ended, as she joined Kurante on her street performances. Of course, there would be a few bumps here and there, but the cheerful musician by her side would never fail to spark joy in even the dullest moments.
Over the years, Anima managed to keep in touch with her family through letters, and much to her delight, Torch often came by to visit as well, though she quickly found out that it was because he had a newfound girlfriend - Fleur. She also befriended Chromium's newly found girlfriend, Essence after learning of their relationship. The longer she lived in Hikari, the more she was used to the various aspects there, such as technology that she quickly learned how to work with. Now filled with determination, Anima decided to pursue what she had always wanted - to be an actual singer. Needless to say, Kurante and her other friends offered their full support.
Perhaps it was all of their love and encouragement that had helped her succeed.
She became quite a popular performer, not just locally but also almost all around Pyrrhia (some even say that a select few of her songs have reached Pantala). Even when she's not hosting a show, Anima remained a street performer, constantly entertaining anyone that happens to pass by, with Kurante by her side. She has also collaborated with the Rain/Sea hybrid on many occasions, her melodic sounds weaving in perfectly with her own voice. Not to mention - her performances often earned them quite a lot, and they settled into a very comfortable, happy life.
Anima thought nothing could have been better at that moment, since she was doing something she loved, and surrounded by dragons that meant the world to her. However, life still had a surprise for her - the most pleasant one, in her opinion.
The rest of Anima's history has a part in Found! Do not read further if you do not want spoilers <3
After a night out with Kurante, she found something - well, someone, that she never thought would mean so much to her on the way back home. That someone was a pale, icy blue dragoness drifting down the river they were passing by. The instant they spotted her, Kurante dove in the water and rescued the seemingly unconscious dragon.
 
abilities
i believe in you. i always will, and i always have. now it's all about making you believe in yourself.
Anima has a rather... interesting set of tribal abilities, even for a hybrid. First of all, unusually, she has both breath weapons of the two main tribes she's made up of. However, only one of them is truly functional. Her fire, that is. Here comes the odd part: her fire isn't a bright red or orange flame like the a normal SkyWing - it is an odd purple color, paling to white at the core. It does work like any normal flame in all other aspects though, perhaps slightly less hot than orange ones, but functions just the same. As for her "venom", it's more like a sticky, gooey substance that she can shoot from her two longer fangs. Funnily, it is bright orange in color, and it cannot cause any life-threatening damage no matter shot at which part of a dragon's body, though it can cause the affected part to become itchy for the rest of the day. It's very easy to wash this substance off, however, so it usually serves no help unless it gets into a dragon's eyes.
From her set of skills, the one that stands out the most is her singing. Anima can control her vocals perfectly and match the speed of the song she's singing, almost flawlessly. She has a wide vocal range, being able to sing almost any type of song, and has a good sense of rhythm, almost always hitting every note no matter high or low. She has pretty good stamina, being able to use her vocal abilities for decent periods of time. Her voice isn't just used for show, though. Anima has generally good social skills, and knows what to say at the right time, so she rarely, in fact, almost never offends anyone through her words. Oddly enough, she is able to climb trees decently, even though the rest of her family seems to lack this ability (even her mostly RainWing mother). Her prehensile tail does help her to keep her balance, though. She also has rather sharp hearing, and the ability to clearly distinguish and name sounds based off their pitch. Compared to other dragons, Anima is pretty fast on four feet, given that she had never needed to use her wings since she was born.
Anima wouldn't exactly call herself an expert planner or strategist, but when she puts her mind to it, she can come up with pretty good plans. This is evident as she is able to perform at an above average level in strategy games. Her gaming skills are also decent in general. What her mind is truly great at is creativity - this is shown in the lyrics of the songs she sings, as she is also the one who writes them most of the time (though she does do collaborations). If anyone were to find an unorthodox, yet functional solution first to a problem, it would be Anima. The hybrid has pretty good coordination and has quick reflexes, giving her a slight edge to activities that require good reaction times. Anima is emotionally intelligent and arguably rather wise, often being inspirational when she speaks to her fans.
 
weaknesses
no one is perfect. you don't have to be perfect for other dragons to love you.
One very obvious weakness that Anima has is the lack of control of her wings - she is completely grounded. While a dragon's wings are usually their greatest natural advantage, it is her major weakness. She cannot even glide in the presence of wind, as even air resistance can cause severe consequences.
Her wings are extremely delicate and are also the source of a lot of physical pain. Sometimes, when she gets too exhausted or exerts too much force on her wings, or simply attempt to fly, they will start to hurt, in a way where she feels like they are being torn off and burned at the same time. It takes a very long time for this pain to fade completely, and she usually has to resort to taking painkillers for it. The pain is very severe and will disrupt her function for a while. Thus, her movements with her wings are actually really stiff and limited, as she doesn't even dare to stretch her wings too quickly or unfurl them carelessly. Other dragons have to be careful around her as well, so that she doesn't strain any of her wing muscles by accident.
She is not physically strong in any way, and because she would almost never resort to physical strength to solve problems, she has little to no self defense knowledge. Her stamina is also considerably low and she gets tired easily. Not being able to fly means that she has to travel by foot, and she isn't very fast on the ground either, making her a vulnerable target if she was ever one.
She isn't just vulnerable physically - there are times when Anima would experience extreme emotional pain. This would be normal, except for the fact that she's actually very emotionally sensitive and might be heavily affected by it. While she can handle it most of the time, sometimes it may result in her crying or breaking down, especially if she keeps them to herself for too long. She is a little reluctant to accept help, which can lead to overexertion, and it can become dangerous for her physical health when she doesn't even know she is going way beyond her limits.
 
relationships
i'm just so happy that everyone is here. i'll never forget how lucky i am to be surrounded by so many wonderful dragons, all of them who played a part in writing this perfect harmony that is my life.
 
G A M B O G E
Gamboge is Anima's cool dad, and she loves him like any daughter would love her father. He was a constant source of support and inspiration to her when she was young, and his job as a teacher naturally made him more profound in teaching his own little dragonet as well. The SkyWing loves Anima as much as she does him, no matter her disabilities or weaknesses. He's protective of her and entirely supportive of who she is, and this same quality can be seen in his own daughter's personality.
He's also a good dragon to invite whenever she and Torch decide to pull a harmless prank. Honestly, Anima always feels a lot of joy and takes comfort in Gamboge's presence, still looking up to him and keeping every single advice she has received from him close to her heart.
The two of them are very close, and Anima still visits him along with her mom back at their old home frequently. Even though they don't see each other as often as when she was young, it will never weaken the bond between Anima and her father.
very positive
 
G L A D E
Call it cliché, but that's exactly how you would describe the unconditional love between Anima and her mother. When she was younger, Glade had always read to her before bedtime and sang her to sleep, surprising her with her favorite meals when she came home, and bought her little gifts every now and then. Her mother's profession as a healer is evident in her kind and caring nature, and she had clearly taught her daughter to be the same way. Anima could never explain how much she appreciates Glade for taking care of her, be it treating her when she had any physical ailments or just being a great mom in general.
Like any mother and daughter, they have their occasional disagreement, but these quickly resolved arguments usually only makes both of them respect each other's views more. Anima is grateful for everything her mother has done for her. Anima knows that it is her turn to take care of her parents now that she is a full grown adult - it's simply the least she could do to repay what they've done for her. She tries to visit as often as she can manage to check up on her mother, and also writes to her frequently.
very positive
 
T O R C H
From the moment she was born, Torch had always been by her side. They were almost always seen together, and despite the five-year age gap, they are incredibly close and get along extremely well, up to the point where they can almost read each other's thoughts. The two often played, laughed and even cried together. Torch is as adventurous, extroverted and fun-loving as Anima is, and they would have very good times together. Whenever either of them felt down or had a bad day, the other would always be just right there, offering endless support and carrying each other through tough times.
Unlike Candy, the two still see each other pretty often now. Torch is very supportive of his younger sister, and will support her decisions no matter what. They are prankster buddies, and fully enjoy pranking their older sister (who might or might not scream death threats at them, which they find extremely funny). He is protective, but not in an overly-annoying way. He comforts Anima easily whenever she needs it, and it's the same the other way too. Torch's job as a messenger and deliverer makes it easy to see his sister despite her living in another town. Anima thinks that Torch is the best and most awesome older brother anyone could ever have, and will always enjoy spending time with him.

Candy is Anima's fiercely protective older sister. Despite being polar opposites in almost every way, they have a mutual understanding and love for each other as family. Anima would often look to her older sibling for guidance on more realistic matters, while Candy sometimes seek comfort and company from her youngest sister. While they sometimes do not agree on certain things, because of their somewhat clashing personalities, actual fights between them are very rare and those that do happen resolve quickly. Anima sometimes gets a little frustrated with how overprotective she can act, she can see that Candy truly supports her and believes in her capabilities, encouraging her to be herself. 
Anima has always been seeing more of Torch, as Candy was almost always away or busy when she was young, and she's seeing her even less nowadays considering that her sister works in the rainforest as a veterinarian, but she sometimes comes back to their parents' house and they still have friendly conversations. She likes to partner up with Torch (and sometimes her dad) to tease Candy for being socially awkward and grumpy, as well as pulling a few tiny pranks on her. She knows that she can count on her older sister when the time comes, and for that she is extremely grateful. She loves her a lot and they definitely have the strong unbreakable sisterly bond.

Anima met Light at a very young age, when they were both dragonets who liked to play with those of their age in the neighborhood. She finds the energetic dragoness a positive influence and enjoyed hanging out with her, liking her sense of humor and connecting easily due to their similar personalities.
They couldn't see each other too often when they started attending school due to being in different classes, but they still met up at lunch and any breaks they got free time to chat. Anima didn't contact her for a while when she moved to Hikari, but when she found out that Light too got involved in music career, she reconnected with her easily, and while conversations between them are rare, those that they do have are always enjoyable. To this day, they are very much on good terms with each other, with both of them frequently being present at the other's shows, and collaborations between the two has happened before. It just might happen again in the future.

The oddly colored IceWing is another one of Anima's childhood friends. Frysta was the daughter of the well-known candy store's owner, Mint, back when she lived in Sanctuary. Anima used to drop by that store frequently, and thus a friendship was formed. The lilac dragoness had a brief, passing crush on her, but it quickly faded away. This didn't change how Anima viewed Frysta as - a good friend, and supported her when she revealed her orientation.
They lost touch for a while when Anima moved away from Sanctuary, but she has far from forgotten her old friend. When Anima heard of Mint's passing, which happened shortly after she became a singer, she made a trip back to her hometown just to host a specific performance in honor of Frysta's father. She stayed for a while to help her friend out of the hard times, and the two had been immensely supportive of each other with their goals in life. 
Anima doesn't see Frysta very often anymore, but she will always drop by to visit her friend when she visits her family back at Sanctuary.

Anima was at first interested in Daybreak because of their similarities - with both of them being hybrids of more than two tribes and sharing an inability to fly. The other dragoness was a energetic soul who enjoyed physical activities, and thus was very much enjoyed by Anima and the rest of her friends as a playmate. Daybreak is much more logical, down-to-earth and a lot less touchy-feely than the lilac dragoness, but she appreciates her friendship and all the times Day has defended her from bullies and made her feel better about her own wings.
Like Frysta, Anima doesn't see Day often now, as they live in separate towns, but the other hybrid still frequently shows her support for her friend by attending her shows regularly. Anima will always appreciate seeing her athletic friend among the crowds, usually seen beside the two other IceWings she knows among the group.

The teal IceWing and Anima have only met a few times, because while she's a friend of Frysta, the hybrid did not grow up with her and thus had only encountered her when she visited her old friend as an adult. However, from the very few conversations they have, Anima can tell that Rain's presence is a welcome one, and is glad that Frysta found a good friend in her. The IceWing had also shown interest in her music and has shown admiration for her talent, which Anima appreciates.
Personally, Anima does not know Rain very well, but while their relationship is neutral, the lilac dragoness has a fairly positive view on her. She sometimes sees the teal dragon standing with Frysta and Daybreak at her shows, which makes her glad as Anima is always happy to see a familiar face.

Anima views Kurante as her absolute bestie. She doesn't at all mind her hyperactive nature - if anything, she appreciates that the Rain/Sea hybrid has the endless energy to keep up with her in their adventures. They share so many similarities - from their love of music and their talents to their pasts ridden with a sadness they both attempted to bury. Anima feels like she could be herself whenever she's with Kurante, and times with her are never boring.
Needless to say, she cares for and loves Kurante a lot. The two often host performances together, and help each other improve constantly on multiple aspects. They've had their fair share of arguments - but they get resolved extremely quickly - sometimes even within seconds. They have supported each other through and through, carrying each other through the happiest and saddest moments, and a lot of Anima's best memories were made together with Kurante by her side. 
In short, she could honestly never imagine a life without her best friend in it, and they'll be there for each other till the end of time.

Anima was introduced to the Mud/Sea hybrid through Kurante. She took interest in his artistic skills, and found his humor to be welcoming in their conversations. At first, she could sense that there was a bit of a tension whenever the three of them were hanging out together, and was later proven right when Rush admitted he was slightly jealous of Anima's new friendship with Kurante.
Instead of getting mad at him, however, Anima continued to show the other hybrid kindness and patience, helping him to overcome these feelings, and eventually, he succeeded, forming a purely positive friendship with the lilac dragoness. They now treat each other like good friends do, laughing together in great moments and always watching out for each other.
Rush is now a part of their friend group, an energetic and fun dragon that Anima would always love being around. They have a mutual appreciation for each other's talents, as well as getting along through their similar taste of jokes.

U T O P I A
Utopia is another one of Anima's friends within the same group. She is much, much quieter than the rest of them, but she adores her musical talent and cherish their friendship nonetheless. Anima thinks the tunes she plays are very inspirational and reflects her gentle nature. Utopia is also a kind and caring friend, something that the lilac dragoness respects. Despite not showing it much, Anima can see her unflinching loyalty to her loved ones, and she could never ask for more.
She is surprisingly fun at games, and Anima is still frequently surprised by how smart she actually is when it comes to riddles and mind tricks. She enjoys having the dragoness around, generally just thinking of her as a wonderful individual, and also thinks she is a good match for Rush.

Anima first met Chromium online, while they were playing the same game. She struck a friendship with the dragoness who was similar in personality to her, and they were frequently seen online together. Anima has occasionally vented certain feelings she didn't voice out to other dragons online, and Chromium had always been a good listener, something that she appreciates a lot. 
When it turned out that Chromium was living in the same town as she was, Anima met up with the silver dragoness in real life and found that their chemistry hadn't faded at all. They still frequently hang out and Anima always enjoys her presence. She adores the dragoness's chill and overall friendly demeanor, and treasures the friendship that they have. 
Anima is further delighted when Chromium started dating Essence, another one of their mutual close friends. Until today, she is still close friends with Chromium, always feeling delighted whenever she's around and joking about how both of them were "power couples" around town.

Anima often saw the little tribrid around the town when she first moved. She has often tried to greet her and get her to engage in a conversation, but all her empathy could sense was that the dragoness was suffering and was somewhat depressed. Still, she tried to make Essence smile in her way, always slightly concerned when she doesn't see her for a few days at a time.
It was only after meeting Chromium that she knew the true extent of her pain, what she had been through in the past and how hard she is still fighting. But she could see that the silver dragoness is leading Essence well on her way to recovery, and the tribrid was starting to reveal her warm, funny side to their friends. Essence is now a huge part of their friend group and Anima is eternally glad to have her around, seeing as she gets along so well with Isla.
The conversations between the two aren't particularly common, because of Essence's quiet nature, but Anima finds it easy to talk to her nonetheless, with their shared interest of music. When she found out that the little dragoness adored her own music, she actually thought it was kind of cute.

The interactions between the two dragons are scarce, and from the very little encounters with Arcene that Anima remembers, none of them have been positive. The SeaWing appears as nothing but a haughty and rather annoying individual, and she has proven time and time again she is nothing but that. The lilac dragoness tries to avoid her at all costs, thinking that she is a bully who lacks compassion entirely.
Despite what she thinks of her, and how much she dislikes Arcene's treatment of everyone else, Anima does not go out of her way to show her dislike, keeping a respectful distance. She does watch out for the SeaWing though, ensuring that she isn't hurting anyone close to her.

H A P P Y
The first word that Anima would use to describe Happy is "ironic". Despite her name and general mannerisms, the dragoness is a rather self-centered and vain individual, whose actions and words often hurt others around her. Anima has seen her multiple times around Arcene without forming an opinion on her, but when Essence revealed the truth of what happened with their failed relationship, she gained a new feeling towards the SandWing that closely resembles resentment.
Like with Arcene, she keeps a distance and tries to not engage in any interaction with Happy to avoid troubles, but she is always keeping an eye open just in case she tries anything on her close friends.

Even before Anima had set foot in Hikari, she had heard of this rather famous composer before, and how his songs and music are famously infamous for being "claw-breaking" in certain games she plays. She adores most of his tunes and she never expected to meet Starfire in real life, and well, let's just say she couldn't contain her excitement when she did.
Anima doesn't see Starfire often, but still keeps up and follows any new music he makes, and still admires him greatly, having a casual friendship with the Rain/Night hybrid who had been a constant source of inspiration for her on her journey to being a singer.

Anima has seen the Sky/Ice hybrid a few times alongside Starfire, and she knows that he is his partner. She does think that the two compliment each other well, and she also adores his music. She has yet to form an actual relation with him, but she could see that he's pretty cool (pun intended).
She does sometimes hear a bit from him through Kurante, as she visits Starfire often for their weekly meet-ups. He has once commented positively about her music before, and Anima feels a connection to him as fellow musicians. Hoarfrost is someone she definitely wouldn't mind the company of.

"unrequited mortal enemy feelings" on storm's side. anima is wary of her after multiple mishaps that happened too closely related to storm's actions, plus the rumors circling her. formerly were good acquaintances but she is currently suspecting that storm resents her (which is true) and tries to keep a respectful distance.
