Denyze (Traveler's Rest)

## Personality & Overview

Denyze tends to be quite fun, impulsive, and happy. Barely anyone has seen her be down, besides her immediate family. She's very energetic and cannot calm down, and is usually seen trying to do many projects at once. She's also a generally jokey person, and some people wonder if she's ever serious. On top of that, as she's terrible with words and uses an incredible amount of expletives, a lot of people assume she's not a great leader - that's because they haven't seen her having to deal with a crisis. She might not be taking care of many things administratively speaking, as she can't seem to stay on top of paperwork, but she's definitely a leader in other aspects. She founded both the Guard and the fighters of the Swamp, before passing on the leadership of these to her friends and her daughter.
Funnily enough, she is terrible at being polite, and sometimes forgets to say half of a sentence she thinks, leading Choas to translate what she meant to people who are not so familiar with her way of communicating. Choas says that the longest she was ever polite was five whole minutes, just after they met. Then the whole politeness thing got broken by a : « By the way, I need some of your beard. ». Why ?
Because she wanted kids, and she has concocted a way to make them with science. Not that it is needed in Sornieth, as magic usually takes care of things, but if magic isn't working for you, you can go to her and she'll take bits of your scales, or hair, or feathers, and will take some of your partner's. She'll stir a weird mix of gooey things and you'll get some eggs... Plague eggs, of course. That's how she and Choas got their four daughters, and a lot of the clan uses her services to get children as it is way less draining on magical resources than the usual way.

## Job

Denyze is the clan founder and leader, but she's also mostly a scientist. She juggles around several experiments at a time, improves her egg-making techniques as much as she can, and is usually on errands for the clan's needs, whether diplomatic or mercantile. As she's not great with paperwork, she handed most of that to her co-leader Choas. However, she will give him a hand when needed, and she will never miss a reunion with the leaders of other clans - especially when one of their allies demands it (or is planning a party). She may not be the best person at speaking, but she will tend to remark useful details about whoever she's talking to, which is a bonus when dealing with other dragons.

## History

### Before the Clan

Despite her general volubile attitude, she doesn't talk about her past much, mentioning being a "traveler" and a "warrior" most of the times. This is oddly inconsistent with her general "feral scientist" vibe - wouldn't she have had some sort of studying going on ? No one knows for sure. It's as if she sprung up into existence with full knowledge of what she wanted to do, which was creating wacky things, and founding a clan where she could adopt or befriend almost every dragon she came across.

### Founding Traveler's Rest

The idea came naturally, really. She liked other dragons, she enjoyed talking to them and living with them - why not create a clan ?
She met Choas right after she'd been done carving the very first bit of Traveler's Rest in a plagueland hill. Thinking he was there to attack her or her one-dragon clan, her first reaction was fairly defensive. Luckily Choas was a well-adjusted, patient individual who managed to de-escalate the situation fairly quickly. Cue the legendary sentence :
« By the way, I need some of your beard. »

### Currently

Her latest scientific project is a long-winded one : making and improving fertilizers both for her clan's farmer, Blueberrypie, and other clans. She always needs someone to test out the weird ones... you probably shouldn't ask what's in it.
