ParaWings

**ParaWings**, inspired by RainWings in Wings of Fire, are a tribe in the Gems of War series. They're a rather peaceful tribe and weren't majorly involved in the War of Treasure, since they despised making alliances. They're currently ruled by Queen Robin.

## Description

Scales have bright colors, almost like paradise, which is part of where they inherited their name from. They're typically blasting, in your face colors, like aggressive green, peach pink, neon yellow, or extremely bright and at some times, blinding colors. If they try hard enough, they can make their colors more dull than usual. They have almost every color known to Earth and the dragon world they live in, except black or very dark shades of colors. Even dark purple, dark blue, or any other shade of darkness they typically don't have on their scales or underbelly. Their tails are very thin and wrap around themselves whilst climbing trees, making it much easier to do so.

## Diet

**ParaWings** live in the rainforests or jungles, and sometimes even mountains. They're typically vegetarians, but some lean towards capturing food in the cliffs or going for animals once in a while. They enjoy planting trees, and much like DuskWings, love mangoes. However, unlike DuskWings, they love strawberries and watermelon. They will pretty much go for any fruit you give them, no matter what. They're known for eating less than other tribes, but they still eat quite often as it makes them seem happy and joyful with each other.

## Abilities

ParaWings are strong swimmers, as occasionally they'll hop into the water. This is their form of 'training'; unlike other tribes, they learn swimming, writing, reading and other skills instead of launching fighting training the second they hatch. They're taught to be resourceful, learn how to survive, be useful, but at the same time, be peaceful and lazy, and while care for other dragons, don't care too much. They've been rumoured in the past to be the most intelligent tribe, but few believe it; since if they were smart, their knowledge would be wasted as most of the time they lay around eating or talking to each other and forming bonds and friendships. They usually have strong social skills as well.

They're able to inject venom into another dragon with their bite. The older they grow, the more dangerous the venom grows. However, if they're born with naturally weak venom, according to legends, they've been killed in the past. Luckily, that rumor stopped once a ParaWing addressed the situation. Now, it's seen that they don't usually use their venom in fights, as they believe it gives them an unfair advantage and all fights should be just. This has made tribes confused in the past, as they usually look for winning a fight, whereas ParaWings don't care about the result. They will also not agree to a fight to the death unless their loved one's lives are in danger.

They have little buds instead of wings before they turn four, when they undergo something called their 'transformation', where they grow wings overnight. They must be given special leaves that allow them to fall asleep easily, meaning they don't feel the pain of their wings coming in. Their buds are very sensitive from a young age, and it can strike them with paralyzing pain if they're touched before they become wings. And when they are wings, they're very delicate.

Before they have wings, you can only expect they can't fly. So, instead of flying, they're usually taught to fly in their schools. This enables them to travel across the rainforest and jungle trees, or jump from rock to another, or climb up a mountain, instead of flying. When they do fly, they must dedicate a year of their life to learning how to fly and use their new wings. When they're ten, three years after they receive their wings, they often choose a mating partner and begin their life with a job taking care of the habitat they live in. This can vary from whatever *they* choose to be; they have complete freedom over their future and usually choose what's best for themselves.

If they're indecisive, the queen decides.
