Marshmallow is an adult MudWing/LeafWing who absolutely adores plants. She currently lives with her family in a small house in a forest on the Mud/Rain kingdoms border. 
---
Marshmallow originated as a dragonsona, but quickly became an OC instead. 
---
Notice - Marshmallow lives roughly 30 years after the events of The Lost Continent. During these 30 years, the Othermind was defeated, Pantala's plants were regrown, a mail system was established, and Pyrrhia and Pantala have opened to dragons travelling between the two by boat. SilkWing, HiveWing, and LeafWing refugees fleeing Pantala were welcomed into various kingdoms by most tribes, and the cities Possibility and Sanctuary - which have expanded considerably - are overrun with those who do not want to return to the freed Pantala. Both continents have made technological advancements. Thanks to Pantala, some places in Pyrrhia now have running water and books are more common.

APPEARANCE
Marshmallow has medium-brown scales, with darker brown scales on top and much lighter underscales. These scales are the usual scale shape for MudWings. Small green tufts of soft, leaf-shaped scales sprout from her chest, her legs, and her tail. Marshmallow's tail ends in a large leafy point, just like a LeafWing's. Unlike MudWings, Marshmallow's nostrils are placed on the sides of her snout instead of the top. She has short, curved brown horns. Her wings are MudWing-shaped with leaf-green membranes. Her eyes have forest-green sclera with darker irises and pupils. Marshmallow has an assortment of odd-looking earrings that she wears regularly. She also wears a green and gold ID bracelet that allows her into the greenhouses at the lab containing dangerous plants. She has a pair of round glasses with golden frames, but rarely uses them. She usually wears while reading or working, and often forgets to take them off before she goes to bed. Marshmallow is usually found wearing homemade flower crowns and other accessories, and scarves in the wintertime.

PERSONALITY 
At a glance, Marshmallow appears quiet and reserved, even unfriendly. However, she isn't trying to seem aloof - she's usually just lost in thought. Those who talk to her will actually find a rather chatty dragon. She's goofy and likes to crack weird jokes, but her mood can change on a dime. She can be very impatient, especially when something is bothering her, and she despises small talk and conversations that drag on for too long. Marshmallow is prone to emotional outbursts and calms down just as quickly, her mood usually turning to forgiving within a matter of minutes. She doesn't really form strong opinions, which makes her feel disconnected at times as well as confused, as she feels obligated to have them. She shuts down very quickly during confrontations and retreats into her mind or things she enjoys. Once she finds something she is interested in, she'll obsess over it and want to talk about nothing but that particular interest, often bonding with those who also like it. She dreads outgrowing certain things because she doesn't know what she'll do without them to occupy her. She has a very short attention span and has a hard time explaining even basic processes because even her thoughts are often disorganized. Because of this, she's usually poorly organized and barely staying on top of her duties. She can't stand to hear people repeat things and will get irritated with them very quickly for doing so. She doesn't share many details about her life, because she finds it exhausting to try to explain how she feels. She's very observant, often the first to notice small details or missing objects. She's good at catching foreshadowing in stories and remembering trivial information. She has a tendency to voice whatever random thoughts and impulsive ideas occur to her, often to the the amusement or horror of other dragons. Marshmallow works much more efficiently when she's left to her own devices, and when she has the motivation to she can perform tasks at an almost terrifying rate. If something doesn't engage her, she's prone to making careless mistakes and working very slowly, often stopping to do something else instead of getting it done. Marshmallow has a poor grasp on time, making her prone to being late or spending so much time on something that she runs out of time to do important things. She has a hard time working up the motivation to do any task that doesn't result in an instant reward - despite not wanting to be, she's rather apathetic toward goals like good grades or investments that will only be useful in the long run. 
Marshmallow is also reasonably athletic, enjoying long swims and flying through the jungle. However, she'll always prefer to stay inside with her scrolls and her plants. She likes solving puzzles and figuring things out, but refuses to accept help. 
She's awkward and struggles to maintain eye contact with just about everyone, even those she is close to. Marshmallow is absolutely awful at giving advice or comforting people, never knowing what to say or how to say it, but is pretty good at being positive and encouraging. She doesn't work well in groups, and usually ends up taking over a project for others or refusing to get involved - there is no in-between. When forcing herself to be friendly towards others, can almost appear hyperactive or manic in her efforts to be friendly. She enjoys spending time with her handful of friends whenever she can, and is willing to try to help them even if she isn't able to.
Marshmallow is incredibly gentle and caring with children and connects with animals easily. Her motherly side is almost unnoticeable when she's with friends, but the moment her little brother comes in she becomes nurturing and fiercely protective. She adores all living creatures, plant or animal - one of her favorite things to do is read about species she fixates on for hours at a time.
As a direct result of her early life and ending friendships, Marshmallow lives in perpetual fear of losing loved ones, whether through death or other means. She's cautious and overprotective of her dragonet, struggling to be a good mom without an example to follow. She is trying to become less reserved when it comes to showing affection, because she really wants her family to know how much she cares. Sometimes, Marshmallow lies awake at night, worrying about whether or not she is doing the right thing, hoping it will all be okay. She's also trying to be more open about her past and her thoughts, but it's hard for her.

HISTORY
Marshmallow's parents, an adventurous Leaf/Mud professor and a quiet MudWing librarian, meet each other at the library. The professor, Marshmallow's father, eventually enters a relationship with the librarian, her soon-to-be mother. After a short period of time, their first dragonet Phragmite is hatched. Although he is healthy, laying his egg takes a heavy toll on his mother, who had a poor immune system and had been sickly all her life. She spends the next two years raising him. Shortly after her second clutch of eggs is laid, she dies due to pneumonia. Phragmite feels some bitterness toward the eggs, as he believes they sapped the last of her strength and caused her death. The other two eggs in the clutch never hatch or develop dragonets. The professor retreats into his books and is rarely home, and sad and distant when he is. 
Marshmallow hatches in mid-spring. Because of their deceased mother and absent father, there are no parents to look after them. Their grandmother, a PoisonWing LeafWing born during the times of the Tree Wars, occasionally visits them to make sure they're 'growing up properly'. 
She spends her first two years with her brother. However, Phragmite matures quickly and grows distant from Marshmallow. Marshmallow repeatedly attempts to interact with him, only to be rejected more and more as time goes on due to their difference in interests and Phragmite's increasing hostility. Without a Bigwings, Marshmallow learns to care for herself. 
Another brother, Typha, is hatched when Marshmallow is three. He comes from a different mother, the result of a brief fling. Phragmite quickly shuts him off as well, this time angry that his father was with anyone other than his mother. While he is still five years old, he leaves them completely to go fight in the Second War. He lies about his age to get into the army, and never returns home. 
Struggling to make it in the world, Marshmallow and Typha move to a small, secluded pond with a tiny mud hut. 
Marshmallow begins attending a small school with Typha. The school, mostly occupied by lower-class MudWings, has only two rooms - one for dragons under three, and one for dragons 3-5. Marshmallow goes to her classroom and Typha goes to his, and then they meet outside his classroom and walk home together. Marshmallow is extremely protective of her brother and would do anything for him. 
When Marshmallow turns four, a program grants her a spot in a better school, an academy with dormitories, a library, and science classes. It's mostly made for wealthier students, but lately it has been giving scholarships to students in need of better education. Marshmallow refuses to go, not wanting to leave her little brother. Her stubbornness pays off, and Typha is allowed to go as well. 
While at the academy, Marshmallow makes two friends - a female Ice/Hive hybrid named Pyrrharctica, and a goofy male SkyWing named Aragonite. 
Marshmallow turns 5. Her friends throw a small hatching day party. 
While at the library, Marshmallow makes a new friend - a bright pink HiveWing named Erythis who is in one of her science classes. Erythis and Marshmallow bond over their shared love of cats. Erythis is quickly welcomed into the friend group. 
Marshmallow and Pyrrharctica spend a brief period in a relationship, before Marshmallow decides she just wants to be friends with her. Pyrrharctica continues to harbor attraction to Marshmallow for a few weeks after this, but eventually moves on. Things are a little awkward for them during this period. 
Aragonite grows angrier by the day, starting to shut out his friends and lash out at strangers. Any attempts to ask him questions cause him to turn defensive and even violent. Marshmallow and Pyrrharctica attempt to reconnect with him several times, and are always rejected. Their shared frustrations actually bring them closer together. 
Aragonite attacks a younger student. During a search of his dormitory, they uncover several items that he stole from both students and staff over the course of the past few months. He is expelled. Marshmallow writes letters to him, hoping to help him, but never receives an answer. She tries to visit his house a few times, but gives up after repeatedly finding it empty. Pyrrharctica also gives up on trying to reach out. 
Marshmallow graduates boarding school at the age of 6. Typha chooses to stay behind and finish schooling, so they part for the first time in years. 
Marshmallow spends the next four years juggling a job, college, and spending time with her friends. Erythis is the only member of the original group who goes to the same college. Marshmallow and Pyrrharctica exchange letters and occasionally meet up for a while, but gradually lose touch. 
When Marshmallow is still 6, she begins dating Erythis. They get along very well, and understand how each other's minds work. Although they're both very busy, they always try to find time to hang out with each other. Marshmallow also regularly writes to Typha. 
Marshmallow graduates at the age of ten and goes into a botany-related profession. Eryhis, who graduated two years ago, is struggling to get the cat-themed cafe she's always dreamed of running open. Marshmallow helps her get the building, the remains of an old pet store, cleaned out and ready for business. 
Once things start running smoothly and both of them are more stable, Erythis proposes to Marshmallow. She accepts, and they are married the next year. Marshmallow's grandmother, a very tradition-oriented LeafWing, overhears and visits Marshmallow for the first time in years to inform her that she does not approve of her daughter marrying a 'filthy HiveWing'. They get married anyway, because Marshmallow does not give a fu- 
-ully ready to start a family, Marshmallow and Erythis adopt an abandoned SeaWing egg from the local orphanage when they are both 13. Just a few months later, a SeaWing with gigantic ears hatches. Erythis insists upon naming him Dumbo, in honor of the dumbo squid, and Marshmallow is unable to persuade her to give him a different name. 
Marshmallow and Erythis spend the next year working, raising Dumbo, and adopting a few cats. Erythis and Dumbo spend the day in the quiet little cafe, then return home in the late afternoon shortly before Marshmallow, who occasionally works late into the night because she has no sense of time. Marshmallow and Typha still hang out frequently and exchange letters. 
Marshmallow's grandmother, who is now quite elderly and currently living with Typha due to her frail condition, visits Marshmallow. After she criticizes Erythis and Dumbo, Marshmallow quickly banishes her from the household. There have been to efforts to reconcile the two, but none have succeeded. 
story is a major wip lmao I've redone it like 15 times already

You've got a lot of nerve, I'll give you that. Abandoning my brothers and I for most of our childhoods, only showing up when you feel like it just to criticize us. You've said some pretty damaging things. You probably don't even remember how much you hurt us. I always will. I will never forget what you said to Typha. Then you actually try to get involved in my life years later, showing up out of nowhere to try to stop me from getting married? And then... and then you invite yourself over to my house so you can complain about Erythis and adoption and whatnot. What is your problem?
Leave us alone. If you're hoping I'll let you back into my life, it's too late for that.
