Alder (KV)

Alder is a male LeafWing dragonet and the main protagonist of The Secrets of the Jungle. He was a former member of the SapWings and is currently on the run in Pantala after running away with a PoisonWing dragonet named Saffron who he is in a relationship with.
== Description ==
Alder has dark green scales, which are usually cold to the touch. He has a paler green color to his wings, which resemble sundews as stated by Baneberry. His voice is noted to be high pitched, with a slight regal tone to it. Alder is also slimmer than most LeafWings due to his vegetarian diet.
According to Saffron, Alder usually smells like mint and eucalyptus.
== Personality ==
Alder has an obedient and calm personality, and is also gentle and kind. He was usually top of his class and was very smart and was favored by his father due to that fact.
Alder does not like confrontations, and prefers to sort out arguments peacefully and quietly, and amongst his fellow dragonets he is known as a mediator for them. 
Once Alder started becoming friends with Saffron, noticeably changes in his personality started to happen as if they were rubbing off of him. He became less obedient and was prone to more arguments and became more defensive.

== Relationships ==
=== Saffron ===
Alder met Saffron when he accompanied his father Evergreen along with Queen Sequoia as a formal visit to the PoisonWings. Alder was left in the PoisonWing dragonet hatchery and the two began to connect over their bond of zoology. Alder continued to meet up with Saffron after becoming an aide to his father every time Evergreen visited the PoisonWing village, which eventually caused them to grow an even stronger bond. The two trusted each other enough for Alder to run away and join the PoisonWings, and the two began a relationship during Alder's time as a PoisonWing. They are similar dragons and share very strong attractions and loyalty to each other. They both consider themselves as their forever dragons.
=== Evergreen ===
Alder has a complicated relationship with his father due to him partially blaming him for his mother's death. However, Evergreen and Alder show affectionate moments and they both care for each other. The two had a mainly good relationship and Evergreen preferred Alder over his daughter Juniper. However, the two can have tense moments especially when Alder does something Evergreen doesn't approve of as when he snuck out to explore the wildlife in the western jungle with Rowan.
=== Juniper ===
Juniper and Alder have a very good relationship, but can be strained at some times due to Alder not understanding Juniper. Juniper is very disobedient and is the opposite of Alder, but the two have their similarities and enjoy similar things. Juniper also stands up for her little brother as when he was being picked on by two dragonets, she defended him.
=== Rowan ===
Rowan and Alder have a great friendly relationship, and the two are very alike. They are very into zoology, and both trust each other with their secrets as Alder was comfortable enough to share that he was running away with Saffron. 
=== Belladonna ===
Alder heavily dislikes Belladonna as he found her rude and condescending when he moved to the PoisonWing village. She showed a mutual discontent towards him and almost kicked him out of the village before being convinced not to by Sundew.
=== Baneberry ===
Alder and Baneberry are friends due to Baneberry showing him around the village and helping him get accustomed to PoisonWing practices. The two were close enough for Alder to share his plans with him and Saffron to flee the Poison Jungle to the western mountains. Alder showed large amounts of grief when Baneberry died from the manchineel plant.
=== Willow ===
Willow and Alder have been friends since Alder's hatching day and the two have bonded over their interests in animals. Willow often supported Alder's decisions and even told Sundew to welcome Alder into the PoisonWing after he defected to their village with Saffron. The two had almost a brother-sister relationship, but their relationship became strained after Saffron attacked Sundew while trying to help himself and Alder escape the Poison Jungle.
=== Poinsettia ===
Alder heavily dislikes Poinsettia and the rest of the rebel VenomWing factions. After Poinsettia imprisoned Saffron, the two gained even more animosity between the two after Alder poisoned and killed Banyan in order to escape with Saffron.
