appearance
Oto has dark, blue-green mainscales that glitter like gems. He has lighter shades of blue and green layered on top like confetti. His underbelly is a light yellow-green color. Around his talons, Oto has several green and pink, freckle-like scales. His talons are also usually stained with berry juice from working in Viva's gardens.
He was born blind and his eyes are a light blue color with hints of yellow. Looks quite tired most of the time, as he stays awake far into the morning working for his employer, a HiveWing named Viva.
He has several scars across his body from when he was younger and didn't know his way around the Hive.
He wears several silver earrings, and a pair of silver bangles wound around his talons. He often dons a light purple scarf with sparkles of silver glitter. 
personality
Oto is quite a friendly dragon but he's also quite shy. He is kind of biased, thinking that all HiveWings are bad. Doesn't want anything to do with the Chrysalis, though, because of his submissive nature. Despite this he is in a relationship with Morpho, a member of the Jewel Hive Chrysalis.
Somewhat of an ambivert, but his personality is mostly of an introvert. He's the mom friend of his small friend group and puts others before himself.
He's pretty much always worried and is a bit of a neat-freak and perfectionist. He tends to get very upset if his daily routine is disrupted, or if a large change happens in his life. This causes Oto unnecessary stress and, due to his quiet nature, he usually keeps these feelings to himself.
He likes learning, and loves it when others read books to him. Would one day like to read books himself. 
When Oto learned of Queen Wasp killing off all the LeafWings, he thought that whole Tribe Genocide was a bit much. He shares morals similar to this with his friends, some of which are in the Chrysalis. 
Oto also has an extensive knowledge of plants. This is due to the work that his HiveWing employer, Viva, has Oto do. He is unable to see plants. But, because of the long-term exposure to the plants, he was able to memorize textures and scents. Oto also made Morpho, his boyfriend, read him botany books from Jewel Hive's library. It is there that he learned about poisonous plants, and plants that may reside in the Poison Jungle.
history
"please be careful, Morpho. I don't want to lose you the same way I lost my parents..." (Will be revamped soon, to keep up with the canon of the new books)
Oto hatched in Bloodworm Hive during Queen Wasp's reign. His parents were construction workers, often being troublemakers in their youth.
Oto had a pretty normal childhood, he quickly learned his way around the Hive, save for a few accidents of falling off the webs where he and his family lived. His parents were very supportive and tried very hard to protect him from Lady Bloodworm's cruel nature. Oto's parents barely managed to keep Oto alive when it was shown he was blind, as Lady Bloodworm was known to kill anyone who wasn't her perfect picture of a dragon.
He attended the local SilkWing school until his Metamorphosis, learning to be a submissive and hard-working SilkWing.
A few days after his Metamorphosis, when Oto was preparing to move to Jewel Hive, his parents were found to be with the Chrysalis. Of course Lady Bloodworm didn't like that, and Oto's parents were publicly executed. Oto was horrified and vowed to never let himself be affiliated with the Chrysalis or anyone with the Chrysalis.
Oto moved to Jewel Hive and was employed under a HiveWing named Viva, who was into the gardening business. Viva was a flighty, tiring dragon who always wanted to be on top. She often had Oto stay up late working in her gardens.
Three years passed. 
Oto had met Morpho, a SilkWing from the Jewel Hive Chrysalis. He took an immediate liking to the out-spoken SilkWing and Morpho liked him back. They started dating and although Oto never joined the Chrysalis, Morpho did ask him though, they both loved each other unconditionally.
He made friends, Argus and Cinnabar -also from the Chrysalis, and another SilkWing named Rove, who happened to be Cinnabar's sister. Oto kept it in the back of his mind that he was going against the vow he had made when his parents were executed, but when he's alone he feels guilt for it.
The Hive lived in peace for a few months before the Chrysalis left to help the LeafWing's against the fight against the HiveWing's on the outskirts of the jungle. Morpho practically begged Oto to come help, and Oto did. Although, he wasn't quite sure what he could do. He just wanted to make sure Morpho was safe.
And it's a good thing Oto came along. For when the antidote to the Breath of Evil was shown to be fake, Oto joined the group of dragons tasked with flying across the Ocean to Pyrrhia.
The journey was a bit hard for Oto, seeing as he was blind. Most of the dragon pitied him and whispered to their friends things they thought he couldn't hear. He quickly proved his worth to the large group, when he stopped two young dragonets from accidentally poisoning themselves with deadly nightshade.
When the group that escaped Pantala arrived on the shores of the Ice Kingdom, he was there with them. 
As tired, worn-out, and irritant as all of them were, he quickly found small jobs for the very youngest dragonets to occupy themselves with. Keeping them out of everyone's way while the leading dragons talked to the IceWing Queen.
When they landed on Jerboa III's beach, Oto stayed close to Morpho. Oto was no stranger to being in unfamiliar territory. But it was the fact that they were in a completely different continent that caused Oto to be stressed out. 
He found a distraction from anxiety by helping Luna with taking off the SilkWing dragonet's wristbands, and telling the younger dragonets stories that he remembered from Pantala.
When it came time for the large group to leave for Sanctuary, he left with them. Oto stayed in Sanctuary until Pantala was freed from the Breath of Evil.
He returned to Pantala with Morpho, and currently resides in the LeafSilk Kingdom.
short story drabble
(This drabble was kindly written by the amazing Vyper!!)
(This takes place after Oto has started dating Morpho)
Oto wandered through Jewel Hive, glad to be done with his work and away from Viva. He strolled along the halls of the hive, looking for Morpho. Well, less like looking and more like, finding? Oto didn't know, nor did he care. Being blind wasn't much of a problem anymore.
As he strolled along, he heard voices. Whispering voices.
"Remember, Chrysalis meeting tonight"
"See you at the Chrysalis!"
"Shhh! Lady Jewel can't know about the meeting!"
Oto hoped Morpho wasn't going to the meeting as he rushed quicker to Morpho's home. He was scared for his boyfriend, because every time the Chrysalis was mentioned he remembered.
He remembered what happened to his parents.
relationships
Aha Ha
Has met Aha ha only once, but thinks he might be different then the other HiveWing's Oto has met before. 'Nicer than most' he muses.

(Negative/Neutral)
 Morpho 
Oto's boyfriend, a SilkWing in the Jewel Hive Chrysalis. He's often worried about him seeing how Morpho is a bit headstrong and not prone to keeping secrets.
(Romantic; Very Positive) 
trivia
* Oto's employed by a high-ranking, merchant HiveWing named Viva, she often has Oto listen in on other dragons' conversations to get ideas for her items.
* Has echolalia, repetition of phrases and noises that have been heard. This disorder is on the autism spectrum and causes him a bit of frustration during conversations.
* Has a lover in the Chrysalis, that fact is his only act of rebellion against the HiveWings.
* Oto also has echolalia, he was hatched with it and has grown up with it.
