>> Summary <<
❈ Smol bean
❈ Only knows about the Hivewing's "Reign of terror" from stories
❈ Is good friends with many of the Silkwing dragonets, including Dusky and Bumblebee, although Bumblebee is a Hivewing
❈ Even though they are younger then them
❈ Often wonders if they are a hybrid
❈ They aren't
❈ They just are a piebald
❈ Which in my opinion are adorable
>> Appearance <<
The first thing you notice about Birch is their overall mainly white appearance. At first, you would suspect them to be a hybrid, maybe part Icewing, but no that's just how they are.
They have an overall normal build for a Leafwing, but their frill apart from a few dark and light green patches are a transparent green, so light it looks white. This is the same for most of their piebald white splatters, white but not quite white. They like to describe themselves as "Partly piebald", but that have had many doctor visits that stated that they are a perfectly normal Leafwing dragonet. Their greenish-white scales are accented with splotches of their normal color, shades of light and dark green, including a particularly large shape on their snout. Their underbelly is a extremely light lime green, (not shown) and their amber-yellow eyes are often gleaming with excitement.
Her alternate design is the same, but the pigmented colors seem to "bleed" into the white, creating a blurred effect.
>> Personality <<
The first word you would use to describe Birch is normally two words: Quiet, and then bubbly. They are rather smart, shy, and very artistic, although they dislike some of their earlier weavings before they actually got good at it.
Some that know Birch well would say that they have two sides to them. One is their bubbly kind side. On this side, Birch is rather funny, shy around strangers or crushes, laughs a lot, and is generally a Swordtail clone, although they aren't as much of a troublemaker. In fact, they hate being in trouble because they hate it when other dragons are mad at them.
And then there is their other side. Whenever someone insults their friends, or a Hivewing is rude to them, of if they do something wrong or make a mistake in school or weavings, they will generally take on a more rude tone, being snappy and yelling at the dragon doing something wrong. While Birch is generally a positive dragon, some of her classmates view her as annoying or rude.

>> History <<
Most of Birch's history, their pronouns will be she/her, as they didn't start questioning their orientation until they were five. Thank you and enjoy the history :)
Also may contain mentions of slight gore and death
Birch was hatched right around the time of Luna discovering the cavern with the Silkwings and Leafwings in hiding, in that very same cavern to be exact.
Her mother was a Leafwing named Aconite. Birch hatched in the complete darkness, the first thing she heard was a voice saying, "Hello darling." Birch squeaked. 
Soon afterwards, Luna arrived, and Birch clambered out of her nest to "Follow the bright light". Luna jumped, startled, as a tiny shape bumped into her leg and squeaked something. Luna's first thought when she saw Birch was that she was a Silkwing dragonet, however she had wings and was therefore a Leafwing. Aconite hurried to collect her dragonet, gasping a little when she saw her scales. One of the Silkwing dragonets that was overly excited about the humans and Luna's flamesilk accidentally knocked Birch over as they were trying to get to Axolotl. Aconite rescued Birch, and brought her over to the nest, where she told her dragonet to stay there while she went hunting. She never came back, and it was rumored that she was taken over and killed by the Othermind, but this rumor may or may not be true as they never found her body.
Birch lived her first few weeks in the Cavern, playing with the other dragonets. She made quick friends with Dusky as well as Luna, and snuck along when they were trying to find the abyss. Birch also made friends with Wren, she was delighted to find that the human could speak to her.
When Luna and Dusky didn't return, Birch wailed and basically had a tantrum before she was taken to come along with Sky and Wren to find the others. When they did, it was then that Birch met Sundew, who Birch immediately got attached to because Sundew looked somewhat like her mother. In an effort to get the wriggly dragonet off her, Sundew grew a couple of flowers for Birch to play with, who was immediately enchanted by something she had never seen before.
