ABOUT
Duffel is a kind, sweet dragon, always wanting the best for others, and willing to sacrifice a lot of his own comfort to help them. He can be generous to a fault and often doesn't think through decisions, acting impulsively to please those around him and himself. He often overestimates his own capabilities, and has an affinity for gossip, even when it gets him in trouble.
He loves to tell stories, finding great joy in making others laugh and smile, and often goes the extra mile to research or explain something to a friend. He struggles to talk to people one-on-one, preferring group settings with less intimacy and pressure to keep up a mask. He gravitates towards other extroverts, finding himself enjoying the loud, rambunctious company and racious parties.
Internally, he has a furious streak a mile wide — he holds grudges easily, and often allows his anger towards his loved ones fester, despite knowing he would never intentionally hurt someone he cares about. Because of this directionless rage, he often feels that he is a cruel or cold person, and will isolate himself to "protect" others from his moods.
Duffel favors outdoor activities like swimming and hiking; he likes to be outside and wander as a social activity, though he doesn't care much for nature on his own. He's very cuddly, with physical touch being his primary love language. When he falls in love it tends to be hard, with crushes often lingering for months or years.

TRIVIA
* He has a horrible memory, and will often retell anecdotes unless stopped.
* His favorite food is sorbetto; he loves anything cold and sweet.
* Due to his SandWing heritage, he always runs hot, and has often found himself falling for dragons who are colder, coincidentally balancing out temperatures.
* His antennae allow him to sense upcoming weather changes; he likes to prepare for storms with a good book and some cozy lighting, and finds the sounds very soothing.
* He has a tendency to overexplain things the way he would want to hear them, and occasionally comes off as patronizing.
* He has a special interest in drugs and medications, and would love to research them someday, despite being woefully underqualified.
* He collects pieces of glass, marbles, and other small, transparent objects.
* He has very weak firebreath; he is able to let out small jets of flame, and often puffs smoke when upset.
HISTORY
Duffel had a relatively boring early life; he attended school and graduated, finding himself rather directionless afterwards. He maintains an apathy towards the concept of a committed career, and tends to gravitate towards odd jobs and manual labor. He met Laplace during his later school years, and developed a crush on her when they both found themselves single after graduating; when he was finally able to spend time with her properly, he found himself hopelessly smitten, and remains so to this day.

DESIGN
* Summer and winter colors can be drawn interchangeably; his scales shed all at once, so there is never an in-between color palette.
* He can curl up like a pillbug, and often does so to sleep.
* The paler parts of his belly are fluffy, as are his inner ears; the rest of his body is shorter fur.
* His antennae are very expressive, perking up when happy and lying flat when upset
