Appearance

"*How long until you think they notice I've been wearing this exact scarf for the past month?*"

Starspring, being a NightWing-SkyWing hybrid, looks mostly NightWing - going by their main colours, at least.

Spring is predominantly covered in dark violet-grey scales, making it easy to blend into the shadows like NightWings can do. Lighter coloured scales run down Spring's back, from their head to tail tip - similar to the dim red teardrop scales scattered along their neck.

Almost as some sort of mask, a darker shade of this grey spreads across their face - at first glance, one might even think it is black. At the end of their snout is a red SkyWing horn, with their violet horns curling like a SkyWing's. This shade of grey seeps into their wing membrane, as well as into their legs and talons.

In contrast, their underbelly is a dull shade of grey, though significantly brighter - a scar rests there, which is only noticeable if you were to search for it. A couple faded scars also run down their legs, particularly the front legs. The insides of their wings contain the starry flecks that most NightWings own, though taking on a mix of red, pink, and white - a dark shade of red takes its place as the backdrop. In addition to these brighter colours, their eyes are a bright golden-hazel.

Spring usually wears a dark red scarf, hardly being seen without it. The scarf is simply wrapped around their neck, which often sits on top of their shoulders if it isn't wrapped tightly enough as it will slide down Spring's neck, which they find bothersome. Their neck is rather long and their build could be considered rather slim, which Spring suspects is due to their SkyWing traits.

Personality

"*Sweet? Me? Ha! I believe I'd be bittersweet if not sour.*"

Starspring is...lack for a better word, unpredictable at times.

Despite how they might appear otherwise, they are not a soft-spoken or tender type character. Spring often finds themself getting furious or simply irritated far too easily - whether they act on this frustration is an entirely different story.

They can absolutely be reserved and generally are, no matter the environment - to assume this is correct. But often times this can be more of an aloof attitude rather than social anxiety and being unable to speak correctly (though it's more often than not both).

Depending on the environment, Spring isn't afraid of speaking their mind - whether it be through a sarcastic remark or an unnecessary rant on something that nobody in their right mind gives a crap about, if they feel passionate about it and they are in an environment they feel comfortable in, good luck trying to shut them up at that point (don't even bother with trying to change their mind either - there *is* some truth to them living up to their zodiac, after all).

Spring is also rather chaotic, specifically with close friends. One moment they might have been buried into their writing, not paying attention to anyone or anything else - then the next someone will have to stop them before they make some odd (and, most likely disgusting) combination of various foods and try to eat it. Or someone will have to stop them from doing something stupid that Spring personally finds hilarious and can't get enough of. Regardless of what, Spring can be unpredictable at times with their mood and that usually ends up in them making dumb decisions.

Being both an artist and a writer, Spring usually is thinking about what they could draw or write next. Stories are constantly weaved together in their mind, and ideas for how the plot of the next chapter for one of their (unfinished) stories should whir in their head for most of the day. In fact, while they're busy doing something else or simply enjoying themself, Spring will likely have anything fiction related that they love on the brain, even while writing a few drabbles or sketching one of their latest pictures. The possibilities of what could happen excite them, and if you were to find them up at night muttering about something, then there's a 99.9% chance that it's about their stories or art (mostly the stories, heh).

Aside from what appears to be a somewhat strong persona is Spring's flaws - which have an equally strong effect on them as does their strengths.

Spring is incredibly sensitive. *Ridiciously* so. Likely stemming from past experiences that have caused them to act more aloof from others, Spring will easily take equal offense in a comment that was any level of passive aggressive towards them or if it's a snide comment about them or one of their friends that they happen to overhear. It pains them enough that they beat themself up over their mistakes, but Spring does not tolerate being talked to in those ways. Many times they've snapped at others for it, and it's the same case if it happens to a friend. While being incredibly loyal to their friends, they feel hurt that someone would speak of them in that way - leading to Spring possibly lashing out or at the very least displaying fury. The level of how much they snap depends on the day they've had, but generally the results are about the same - Spring ends up holding some sort of grudge against them.

On the topic of Spring beating themself up for things they've done in the past, they have incredibly low self-esteem, generally speaking. Sure, there's a select few things that they actually have pride in themself in, but it quickly falls flat for a couple of weeks. Spring hardly ever thinks that they will do something right if it isn't something they have barely any confidence in, which ends in them barely putting any effort into it. Spring overthinks several things including their mistakes, which plays a big role in why they have such low self-esteem to begin with.

Backstory

"*Look, if I were to tell you everything then we'd be here for days, and even then that's assuming I'm resisting the urge to complain. Which if you know me well enough, then we both know I won't hesitate to do so.*"

Starspring was hatched to a NightWing living in the Rainforest Kingdom, though they both formerly lived on the NightWing island. Spring's parents had met on accident, Spring guessed - as they were told that they were one by the fully NightWing dragonets when they were growing up. Spring wanted to guess was somewhere in the Claws of the Clouds Mountains, as they never saw any SkyWings on the volcano while growing up.

Living in the NightWing Village after the events of the eruption was relatively peaceful for them, though they had witnessed some tensions within the tribe due to being ruled over by a RainWing - still, it was peaceful. They usually went out to gather fruits with their fellow NightWing dragonets, and most of it went without too much strife. When most of the NightWings had left for the old Night Kingdom, Starspring had stayed behind, not particularly inclined to leave as they had already settled into the rainforest. Not much else has gone on in their life in regards to living in the Rainforest Kingdom.

Of course, there was also Jade Mountain Academy to consider. As they were preparing to start their second semester since opening, Spring decided to try enrolling, as the idea of it sounded interesting to them. They were placed in the Copper Winglet, being clawmates with a SandWing named Suncup and a MudWing named Walnut. While nothing noteworthy had happened to them during that time, they had become closer with their clawmates and Winglet, bonding through things such as writing and music. As the end of the year approached, Spring decided to remain in contact with their Winglet, hoping to eventually visit their friends from time to time. Nowadays they often head out to visit Suncup and Walnut, the two of which moved into Possibility together. The three often write together, and go on occasional trips around Pyrrhia to gather inspiration for new story ideas.

Spring still lives in the NightWing Village, but has considered moving away to stay with Suncup and Walnut in Possibility, or to just generally travel. They also still help out with gathering the fruits, though their time is more taken up with writing - Spring doesn't particularly consider themself a fruit gatherer that much anymore.

This modern section is one big ol' wip, I'll get around to it...eventually

Feel free to request relationships here with sonas or OCs ^^

Sona Relationships

None atm.

OC Relationships

Walnut

Starspring views the MudWing as a close friend of theirs, though they think that her more optimistic outlook on life is annoying at times. Despite that, Spring does appreciate Walnut's more positive comments from time to time, as they find it reassuring (to a degree) and thoughtful of her. Spring often goes to visit her and Suncup in Possibility to discuss their writings.

Suncup

Like with her girlfriend Walnut, Starspring views Suncup as a close friend. Spring is closer with Suncup than Walnut, mainly due to their more sarcastic remarks, as well as sharing and embracing their chaotic nature along with their random thoughts. They often visit her and Walnut in Possibility to discuss their writings and ideas.

* They're named after an older OC of mine, Stargaze.
* Starspring goes by they/them pronouns, but is neutral on xe/xem and ze/hir for themself.
* Spring cannot choose a favourite colour but they really like pink, violet, hazel, shades of seagreen, and grey.
