“I'll do it over and over again if I have to <3”~ Ghostflower
This character belongs to Pumpkin, please don't steal or they will haunt your dreams.
I really want to work on this character a lot, I really want it to be the most described OC I've ever made on this wiki. Ghostflower is like the piece of lore that I've never written before and I want to make into a brilliant reality.
Future Pumpkin here, I can't believe old me thought I was pretty much done, boy oh boy now that I look through this it's kind of trash. Welp, revising/editing time ;)
Soul, a being that few truly know. Most see them as a killer, someone who's only purpose is to destroy dragons from the inside out. But who was Soul before they became a spirit? Who was Soul before they went insane?
A little bit of lore on their garden. The garden has flowers with a kind of othermind (spoiler: like the breath of evil in the poison jungle) that is held back by rubies, "...Ruby is thought to be protective of home, possessions and family. Ruby is said to stimulate heart chakra and bring spiritual wisdom while shielding again psychic attacks." Says google. The flowers are being gated by rubies and held back, that is the purpose of the garden. If one comes loose, all of the flowers will take over. Spreading their roots across Pyhhria, choking trees, destroying environments.
Oh, 'cause I keep digging myself down deeperI won't stop till I get where you areI keep running, I keep running, I keep running

“I don't expect your thick skull and pretty scales to understand.”~ Ghostflower
You are advancing through a garden of what looks like only one particular type of flower. You can't recognize it. The trees are leaning in, listening eerily, though this is distracted by the crisp sunlight pouring into the clearing. But you aren't here for the garden. You were given a task from the Queen herself! A silvery iron opportunity quickly rusted. "There is someone rather suspicious living in my kingdom," She said. "But they are quiet, a hermit. They didn't respond to a single one of my letters and I need you to investigate." And you were handed a map. You approach a humble cottage, gripping the spear you brought nervously. The place isn't special, just an old maroon home, slightly elevated. You knock on the door. A dragon opens the door, and you were struck with their appearance. Head dizzy with confusion, you try to take in what you see, and identify them. Is it an IceWing? Is it a SkyWing? No, no, no, this is making you even more confused. 
Let's take it from the top.
Ghostflower's build is perfect, head to tail. Their tan base color is a soothing warm tone with a cold little purple hue. It's rather difficult to tell where one scale ends and another begins, giving the illusion of being perfectly smooth. Shining ruby earrings hang from both of their ears and nestle into a kind of a flowery frill, reminiscent of a RainWing. A matching plumage under their eyes in a baby blue, softer than velvet. Reflecting upon the rubies, their underbelly and horns are a matching color and their eyes are a startlingly intense red, giving them a piercing glare. Their eyes are narrow yet large, with the dragon's eyelids weighing them down, giving them a constantly bored look. The irises have a darker half of red on the upper side surrounding thin black pupils, a deceptively aggressive look. Their horns are strait and long, like the tip of a jousting spear. And their ears are just short enough not to flop yet still long and graceful like the rest of their figure.
Their spine starts with a single light foam-green horn on their upper snout, moving into a large and opaque flat sail with two sharp peaks. It curves into a pattern of perfectly aligned spikes sliding down the arch of their bones and tapering down smaller at the tip of their tail. Soft lavender scales mark the top of their snout and line their spine, a matching lavender wing membrane settles between their wings' skeleton. Their wings in fact were quite odd though. The fingers of it so unnaturally smooth it looked like a plastic toy. Their thin membranes seem to be for less of a long flight, but that of a quick acrobatic one, with frilled edges like their tail. The size of said wings are rather large, practically the size of their body. They are shaped a little rounder than normal dragon wings and seem to be able to extend slightly farther than normal, eerie and strange.
Their body type was a tad less wiry than a RainWing, yet thinner than a NightWing. Curving and graceful. They are tall yet not too tall, towering over most their age. Their legs were only a little muscular but somehow kept it's feminine touch, and their neck curving upwards not long yet not short. Their tail is long and thin, however it seems like it could give a dragon a concussion if it waved around too much. It tapers to a sharp point cushioned with seafoam-colored puffy plumage, perfectly groomed. They smell sickly sweet like the flowers that inhabit the monochrome garden, mostly overpowering the scent of pine and charcoal. It reminds you of a barbecue but perhaps if you were grilling candy instead of meat. Their scales however, are cold like a night in a northern cave. It's almost as if they don't create heat in their body. The texture of it even feeling like ice, carved smooth and perfect, sanded like a statue.
Just who is this dragon?
They say I may be making a mistakeI woulda followed all the wayNo matter how far

“No one cares about you and your whiny little problems.”~ Ghostflower
The sheer height of this dragon was quite intimidating,  you begin to speak, but they speak first. "What do you want?" Their voice was shockingly sweet compared to their intense glare and unwelcoming expression.
"I-I am here for the queen, she wanted me to investigate... you.." You trail off as they narrow their jewel-like red eyes. They pull you inside and shut the door with a harsh thud.
"Oh the queen, never coming to see me in person," The dragon said in a sing-songy voice, gesturing towards a neat stack of  scrolls, "Letter after letter and never actually coming to say hello in person, the coward. And now she sends some random dragon down here to my garden, how dignified." You examine them as the dragon roams the room, preparing what looks to be tea. "Isn't that sweet, a fearless, honest, outstanding queen so afraid she isn't even going to walk a few steps away from her throne." You tried to argue, but they set down a cup of tea and you shut up. "Say what you want, I don't care."
You realize they are probing you to ask questions. "What have you been doing out here, all alone? Who exactly are you?" The dragon sits down with their own cup of tea, hesitating.
"My name is Ghostflower."

Ghostflower is a rather sociopathic dragon. Though they don't often show their true nature, they are often disgusted by the petty positivity radiating from dragonets, and insensitive overenthusiastic personalities of many. They enjoy watching the pain of these dragons. Ghostflower is also quite a hermit, they spend their days isolated, yet enjoy it. The only times people really see them outside of their clearing is when they are shopping for basic needs- usually tea. 
They often prioritize themself over others, never scheduling events, and will likely (if invited to an important party) skip it for the reason of running out of their favorite tea or if the garden was giving them 'suspicious looks'. They are also quite the perfectionist. Ghostflower loves symmetry, and will make sure everything around her is aesthetic to a T- from accessories to ceramic decor. Perfect is their middle name. 
So perhaps now you're thinking of how unwelcoming this dragon is, you wouldn't really want to be their friend. And while it is true that yes, they are likely the least welcoming dragon on the surface of their planet, that doesn't mean they can't be friendly at all. If you are the right dragon, and Ghostflower is in a good mood, they could laugh with you- smile with you, and it is truly something to appreciate when they do. A rare sight, and a lucky one to catch.

“If you guess right, I give you a prize!”~ Ghostflower
"I am out here because I was just born to be. I don't know my parents, and no one knows me. I live to live free." They pour a small amount of sugar into their tea before taking a sip. "I am Ghostflower, just a gardener living out all alone, I was born somewhere in some place I don't know and don't need to know, but I lived in this somewhere of a Sky Kingdom for a while. I don't like dragons and markets and loud public spaces so," They wave around. "I live here."

Ghostflower was born alone, just a weak dragonet in the forest of the sky kingdom, sunlight filtering through the tall pine trees, giants compared to the puny little creature below their magnificence. How they survived? I do not know, hunting for themselves and avoiding large predators perhaps.. Eventually they grew enough to go to the outer edges of a city, large, towering and menacing stone walls, where a guard saw and asked their name. Not getting a response, he named them himself, "Ghostflower," because a friend of his once described to him how beautiful they looked, and he was reminded when he saw them. They grew and learned a wide vocabulary from scrolls and math from shopkeepers, moving out and away before Ruby came to her rightful throne.
Wandering the sun-dappled forest and looking for a home, Ghostflower stumbled upon an old cottage in a large sunlit circular clearing, with a single potted white flower on its doorstep. When they opened the creaking old door, the old floor was littered with rubies, a single note and a pair of earrings sat on the biggest, heaviest pile. "Plant this flower in the dirt and surround this garden with rubies, the flower has a mind of its own so be careful to renew the border. Earrings are required to hear the flowers." At first they were confused, but after years of caring for the garden and re-building the cottage, they have learned it's way.
Oh, 'cause I keep digging myself down deeperI won't stop till I get where you areI keep running when both my feet hurtI won't stop till I get where you are
