quote 	"Wow. I am floored, astounded, awestruck, staring in wonder, and in need of a thesaurus so I can keep on talking."
Persimmon, or Skybyte as she calls herself now, is a freelance artist living on the coast of the SandWing Queendom. A natural rebel, her first goal in life was to prove her parents wrong. They insisted drawing was a waste of time, that she should focus on technical skills for her future.
She focused further on drawing, and carved out a niche for herself. All for that spiteful, childhood dream of showing she could do as she wished. Skybyte was a fool, perhaps, but successful nonetheless.
:appearance
:"Oh sorry! My apologies, you'd really think I'd be less clumsy by now..."
Skybyte is a typical Rainwing, by most terms. Same lithe build, made for vaulting through tightly knit trees. She has those little quirks - sharply curving horns, smaller frill, stubbier claws - but is generally someone that would blend into a crowd of RainWings.
She's chosen for herself a bright orange scale color, fading yellower on her talons and tail. A pale muted yellow are her secondary scales, lining and accenting the orange. She then dives into blue, with a pale underbelly and slightly darker spines. Her circular scales are darker still, but still bright. 
Skybyte's horns almost seem to fluoresce, a blue that seems to glow. Perhaps it's a trick of the light, a clever way she controls the colors. Her wings and ruff fade of pale off white to bright blue, a pattern that occasionally changes, as she sees her wings to be a canvas in itself.
Her eyes are a stormy gray, nearly invisible and certainly dull against the brightness of her scales. She's often splattered with paint, her talons covered in ink, almost always in a state of disarray.
:personality
:"Ah yes! I really like your interpretation, a bit more than my own I think, oops."
A fool, a clown, a young one who just wants to vibe. Skybyte is still in her younger years, and as a result displays some emotional immaturity. She's quick to judge, quick to mess up, easily tunnel visioning into ignoring a blatant solution. She still messes up a lot.
However, it's notable that the RainWing easily takes this all into stride. She can get frustrated - and does - but this is all quickly smoothed over and replaced with an attempt at being calm. She's aware most mistakes will become something to joke about in the future, and so tries not to make a big deal of it in the present time.
Skybyte is not well versed in societal norms. She interjects at the wrong time, embarrases herself, says something she quickly realizes she shouldn't. She's careful to mentally file all of these incidents away, to remember that some things simply aren't appropriate. It's good practice for her.
This backfires sometimes, for as she reviews those times they often cement certain ideas in her mind. Most notably, she can quickly assume someone hates her, when they should be on friendly terms. This is usually because of the sheer number of times she's stumbled and messed up in front of the other dragon.
Skybyte is independent. She prefers to work alone, even deep within her childhood. She likes being in control of her own life, being able to steer what she wants to do. The RainWing's not power hungry - she'd simply rather want to direct her life rather than being forced to do things she does not do.
A contradictory RainWing. She has morals, like others that she tries to uphold. Yet she finds so many ways to subvert them, excuses to do things she really shouldn't. To refuse to help someone, or to pawn just one fruit from that stand. She's trying desperately to cut down on this behavior.
She's also creative, and does have a decent amount of diligence. She can force herself to finish, pleased with a terrible result purely because she at least tried. She struggles with some sort of perfectionism when she has to display such works, however - afraid of being judged, she'd often pull multiple all nighters to redraw her art.
Skybyte is genuinely a mess, but she's trying her best. And in her mind, that's what counts.
:history
:"I may be a fool but... hm. Forgot what I was going to say."
Born into a family. By the time Skybyte entered the world, RainWings usually lived in their own family groups. So she lived and grew, with two parents, like the rest of the tribes. Two parents, a sister. An entire, happy family. Except, not really.
Twine and Acai, her parents, had this way of having very high expectations. They were RainWings, and despite many proving that RainWings aren't lazy, the stereotype still stayed strong. Skybyte's parents found it important to prove this wrong, and to make their children succeed. Succeed, in the most objective ways.
:relationships
:"Hey, listen. I'm sorry you felt my joke was rude. Could we put this behind us, and still be friends?"
Twine - Father. probably terrified of him ngl
Acai - Mother. also probably terrified. parents scary.
Sylphina - Her sister. The two are still on good terms.
Chia - They're on friendly terms, but Chia seems to be like that with everyone.
Estuary - what a kind little lad they are
:trivia
:"Wow, I can't believe you'd be so prejudiced against dragons who don't sleep."
- does not sleep sometimes, is used to it
- always, always does suntime, even when it's cloudy
- loves mangos, especially
- enjoys sitting in light rain, does not enjoy sitting in a downpour
- cannot follow any sort of routine
- enjoys listening to some sort of background noise

- has a very odd sense of humor

:gallery
:"I'm exercising my free will, and free will states I'm never drawing myself. Disgusting. No. Absolutely not I refuse."
