Appearance
Knowledge is hard. Hard to me.
Acatalepsy is a dark green LeafWing, with dark red wings, her body speckled with dark blue, and has a light orange tail leaf.
At first sight, you would say Acatalepsy is completely LeafWing, but wrong, she has some RainWing blood inside her too. This is why she has her dark red wings, and dark blue speckles on her whole body.
Acatalepsy is average-sized, like a normal LeafWing, not big and not small. She looks strong with her dark colors, you might think that she only LOOKS strong, but no, she really is strong. She just don't use her strength.
Acatalepsy's underbelly, as you see, is red, like the blazing rays of sunrise, high in the morning sky.
Her yellow eyes blaze, like a LeafWing warrior, and indeed she was.
Where does knowledge come from?
Personality
But what if...? What if I don't know it?
Acatalepsy's mind is...really confusing. And complicated. If you're a mind-reader, you can't really understand her thoughts, which are rather complicated and messy. You sometimes won't even know how she is feeling. Just weird. Her thoughts are blurred and seems to mix together, creating a JAM in her messy thoughts, tangling everything up.
Acatalepsy is in the middle of I-like-to-fight-really-much and I-hate-fighting-I-love-peace. She is a soldier, but she doesn’t really understand why dragons need to fight. But indeed Acatalepsy is a loyal dragon and cannot refuse to fight. Yes, she is a PoisonWing and every PoisonWing does fight.
Acatalepsy thinks she doesn’t know anything, and can’t learn anything. She was never a good learner in class, unlike Cobra Lily. She was on the bottom of her class, except for fighting, she was best.
Sometimes Acatalepsy just thinks that it is impossible to understand a word any dragon says, and thinks even herself is annoying somehow. She was sad, but she was resilient. She wasn't the kind of dragon who would give up easily.
You can't say that Acatalepsy is patient, but in some way, she is resilient. And that was what saved her from having a 2-year-old-dragonet's mind forever.
Do we have to?
History
Its just...Its just impossible to know anything! Everything!
Acatalepsy was hatched to a ferocious PoisonWing couple, who supported her in every forward step in her life.
Acatalepsy entered a school, the Poison Jungle Academy for Young Dragons, when she was around three.
It was perhaps the hardest time of her life.
It wasn't quite that Acatalepsy wasn't smart enough to understand the teachers' questions or that she had trouble expressing her ideas. She just...didn't understand, didn't pick up on any hidden meanings or hints behind words, didn't find the energy she was supposed to put into her classes until it was too late and everyone was staring at her because someone had just asked a question, and was waiting for an answer.
An answer she couldn't give.
Acatalepsy often found herself in a situation when she ended up having the entire class laughing at her. Not with her. At her. They didn't seem to understand that whenever Acatalepsy found an idea that might be marginally worthy of sharing, her words seemed to pile up against her. But it seemed they would never will. So Acatalepsy simply tried harder, like her parents always told her to when they recieved negative news on their daughter's scholary progress.
But trying harder...that was the thing. It just wouldn't....couldn't work for Acatalepsy. Why did it work for everyone else? While everyone was struggling to reach the very peak of the mountain, she was sitting at the foot of it, nursing her bruises. It didn't seem fair that she'd be left in the dust simply because she couldn't learn the same way as everyone else, but it looked like no one would ever want to give her a talon up.
But then her life changed when a soldier came to her school, to give a talk on the dangers of his profession. She was enthralled by his stories of life on the battlefield, and felt a longing to pursue the job herself.
Now, you may be imagining that Acatalepsy's previous confusion about her learning disappeared once she realized she wanted to be a soldier. But if anything, she got even more confused. Why would her beloved parents, who insisted that they understood their dear daughter perfectly, be so wrong about what she had to do to succeed? When she got home, she told them that she wanted to switch to a military academy.
Relationships
I want to learn, but I can't. It's not because of me.
Oleander-Oleander was Acatalepsy's fiery father, the skilled fighter of the Poison/LeafWings. He taught her many useful battle skills.
Ralffia- Ralffia was Acatalepsy's beloved mother. She was proud of him, and was nicer than any other PoisonWing to her. She never laughed because of his 'foolishness'.
