Appearance
Kale has light green mainscales the color of a tropical kale smoothie, and their eyes are a shade or so darker. Xe has horns are the same color as their scales, only yellower, and their LeafWing spot-scales are lemon colored. In a color reminiscent of peanut butter, Kale’s spines have a lighter shade on their membranes. Sprinkled along their face, body, and wings are small black and dark brown freckle-like splotches quite like sesame seeds. Their wing membranes remind one of kale leaves, and Kale’s tail-fin looks exactly like one. Xyr horns are a light yellow-green.
Xe is a bit chubby, with a rounded face and soft features. Oftentimes they are smiling or laughing; the sleep-deprivation that Kale often experiences shows in the shadows and exhaustion in and below their green eyes. Their emerald-colored claws are usually covered in bright nail paint with glitter to make them seem brighter, and makeup is applied in a weak attempt to hide the shadows under their eyes.
Lime colored LeafWing spots are, to Kale, one of the most trying things in the world, ranked right under meeting new dragons and getting yelled at. They are never quite content with them and hates being stared at, sure that their yellow scales are being judged. If dragons are judging them however, Kale has never received a comment about them.
When performing leafspeak, Kale’s entire body seems to grow more saturated with color. Kale is nearly never seen without a plant of some sort nearby, whether it be a small houseplant or a wild onion.
