the long, lanky frame of a dragon can often be seen sitting on the benches of the parks in cloud city, their spindly tail twisting off the roof and their legs kicking like a small dragonet's. the white cord of a pair of earbuds sprouts from the pocket of their black and white plaid jacket, and the soft blare of music escaping his ears can just barely be heard. perhaps they are reading a book, or maybe she is looking up, watching the dragons pass. she occasionally holds a cup of water or a cookie, maybe crumbling off a bit to toss to the geese. they have a friendly vibe about her, and he is always willing to strike up a conversation with a stranger.

Finley isn’t sure whether they are conventionally pretty, but she enjoys her looks enough for herself. She is of average build, perhaps slightly chubby around their stomach and possessive of stick arms, though taller than most of the other dragons they meet. Their scales have a rather odd color palette, a gene retained from his SilkWing father. Her scales at their most basic are a dark shade of navy. At the tip of their snout, a paler hue can be noticed if you look for it. Her long, gangly legs fade into a bright orange at their tips, matching their scar-marked claws that seem to be plagued by ever-chipped polish. Her tail fades into the same orange, which adds interest that normally would be absent thanks to his lack of a poisonous barb. She possesses only two wings, though they retain their SilkWing shape. Their wings, however, do not have the usual butterfly pattern; instead, her wings are a blend of dark purple, an in-between blue and bright orange. 
Two spindly, dark grey horns emerge from the back of her head, framing their face in an interesting way. Sharp brown eyes peer out from behind a pair of black sunglasses, curiosity sparkling. She has an easy smile, almost catlike in its twist. His cheeks are dotted with brightly colored band-aids and stickers, doing their level best to draw attention away from the dark bags under her eyes or the weary lens that falls over their face occasionally. A SandWing ruff ripples down the center of their skull, from her snout to the nape of his neck, dark purple hues rippling into the same orange that sits like socks upon their talons. Their ears are large and rounded, pockmarked with piercings and tears. A small scar ripples along their chin, caused by some accident they might inflate for an interesting story later on in life. She enjoys the look of them and does everything he can to make any scar on her talons scar simply for the aesthetic. A warm blush perpetually stains her cheeks, making her appear softer and kinder than she might be outwardly proud of.
Finley is bipedal, and clocks in at about five foot eleven, same as their father. He very much likes being tall, as he thinks it meshes well with her feminine-presenting style. Their self-proclaimed amazing fashion sense consists of vintage tees, sweaters, sweater vests and button-ups passed down by her father tucked into dark dress pants or slacks. She adores coats and cardigans as well, her most worn ones consisting of a black-and-white plaid jacket and a long grey fleece. He wears mainly boots, either short black ones that add on a couple inches or scuffed brown doc martens. Perhaps their black bluetooth headphones hang around their neck, worn like a priceless necklace. It took her an embarrassingly long time to find and feel comfortable in her style, but now that they have, they haven’t been happier.

Finley considers herself a layered dragon, which is certainly a contender for understatement of the year. They aren’t the best of dragons, nor the worst, but regardless of whatever other dragons think of her, he knows this. They give themselves points for being “self-aware” but don’t make much of an effort to work on or help himself. Despite this, they would never be purposefully negative to anyone else; she describes herself like this mainly in relation to her own self-image.
He is a generally friendly person, though he doesn’t usually speak to dragons he doesn’t know unless they approach her. He is an ambivert at his core, something that they doesn’t often explain to others. She is compassionate, and cares deeply for others [even those she doesn’t know], in very rare instances to the point of self-neglect. He enjoys appearing benevolent or generous, because he feels that is what he is [despite his sometimes selfish actions]. 
They have a strange relationship with their memory, as it chooses to mainly retain bad feelings, experiences and nightmares as opposed to positive memories. The outcome of this often leads to him retaining information that gives him what he can only describe as "having a thick layer plastic wrap surrounding his heart". This rather annoys and confuses her, though he is getting better at letting go and remembering that whatever scares him most likely can't harm them.
She thinks in a rather chaotic fashion; either easily venturing off down the muddled paths of tangents in his head or not being able to stop thinking about one thing, no matter how little they’d like to. Thus, he feels uncomfortable in his own head from time to time. It doesn’t help that she is ruled heavily by emotion, which she bottles up inside in an effort to maintain her outward image of strength. This was behavior that they forced into themselves after she was made fun of by a classmate, which didn’t serve to help her at all. 
They rather dislike the notion of other dragons speaking about their relationships too much, as falling in love is an insecurity of hers. He worries that she'll be cheated on, or that they'll never be able to find a partner that truly understands and loves them, and vice versa. This might lead to envy in the future, but she usually sees herself as so detached from romance that perhaps that might not happen. 
Because he feels emotion so deeply, they can be a very fury-driven dragon. He lives in a perpetual state of anger, often describing it as a stationary part of his brain. When he comes across something or someone that she specifically despises, they often cant get it out of her mind. This leads to furious ramblings, whether to someone else or themselves. She is instantly biased towards anything she dislikes, resulting in tumultuous relations with anything he doesn't like. 
They also struggle with self-doubt and loathing, mainly from their tendency to ignore or forsake his problems. This is one of the most harmful ways the internet has affected her; because she was exposed to people with big problems like mental health or physical conditions, she neglected to call her issues bad because of the sheer contrast. He lost his grandmother near the end of his dragonethood, which was quite a devastating blow for his family. She had been essentially a third parent to them, and he was still unfamiliar with the definition of loss. She began to feel anxious on a daily basis about her physical health, primarily because disease ran in her family and they often thought about how his family might lack the resources to help him get better. Furthermore, she has social anxiety and is deep in a toxic relationship with their ‘best friend’, conflicted on letting her go or staying in a friendship that he feels could still be beneficial. 
She has always been an incredibly paranoid dragon; the fear of serial killers, injuries, health issues and social anxiety follow them almost everywhere. It's never been too big of a problem, but the general state of discomfort can make them feel like it's hard to exist in their own mind. Another reason for that feeling is the common nihilism that runs through the veins of his environments; he grapples with feeling infinitesimal and knowing that they most likely won't be able to make their mark, whilst simultaneously hungering for fame and adoration.
He considers himself to be simply a "glass-half-either" dragon. They often tend toward the neutral or both sides of any given thing, including optimism and pessimism. This even tracks to physical feeling; if she steps on a seam with one talon, she must do it with the others. It is a small yet annoying quirk to him, one that he hopes can be erased.
She does have a very fulfilling and pleasant life, however. They are in a good place physically and are very good with academics and school. He has plenty of friends and positive relationships, and treasures them dearly. She is normally a very confident and self-assured dragon, and has a reasonably upbeat aura. They are an empath, and are good at connecting and stepping into other dragon's shoes. He has an immaculate image that he feels the need to maintain at all times for what he believes to be his dignity and social standing, but they usually stop caring after an hour or two into any social event.

- their dreams are usually quite nonsensical, often filled with dragons they know and bouts of deja vu
- she considers herself to be more advanced in language arts than the average dragon, and has developed an unconscious bias towards words that he assumes will make him sound more intelligent
- he is a chronic procrastinator and often does things in order to fulfill his current wishes, rather than thinking about the effects their actions and choices could change the outcome
- they have a pet crow named bard, befriended via many long years of kindness
- her favorite words include covet, chalcedony, serendipity, erasure and fallacy.
- he has a bit of a superiority complex, which he, of course, believes is rightful.
