Baskettail is a LeafWing/SilkWing hybrid dragon who currently resides within Sanctuary with the rest of the LeafWing and SilkWing refugees. She hatched 31 years (4,993 AS) after the events of the Tree Wars. She, along Sundew and Belladonna, are praised for their incredible leafspeak abilities.
Appearance[]
Colours[]
A dark, swampy green. Basket is coated in flecks of gold, also. Her wings, underscales, horns, front head, and inner ear are a murky pink, while her claws are a jet black. Her wings fade from the murky pink into gold, with slashing stripes of a darker version of the murky pink coming from the edge of her wings. Her horns have a gold spiral curling around them.
Build[]
A very oddly proportioned dragon. Her wrists are exceptionally wide, meanwhile aspects of her are very slender, like her snout and tail. Her wings are small, but there's a second pair of them (the larger pair are LeafWing ones, but the smaller pair are shaped similarly to SilkWings but have the same leaf pattern & colours as her larger pair). She is coated in moss and mushrooms which had begun to grow off her scales from her immense amount of earth-like energy that radiates from the core of her soul, making every plant naturally drawn to her, also causing Baskettail to have a very difficult life in the jungle, as every plant knew where she was at all times.
Baskettail has a pair of antennae and SilkWing horns. Her snout is elongated like a SilkWing's and she has the same spikes as one.
Accessories[]
Baskettail tends to not wear any accessories, she thinks they'll weigh her down. If she ever got in a fight, she'd want to be quick to escape.
Personality[]
A huge pacifist, like any other SilkWing. She'll do what it takes in order to survive, even if she has to bow to HiveWings to do so. She's very lonely, because only one of the PoisonWings views her as a friend instead of a tool to destroy HiveWings, and that's Mandrake. Cricket has been nice to her also, but they're not very fond of each other. Baskettail takes a liking to dragonets, which leads to her often babysitting Bumblebee and spoiling her.
Relationships[]
Mandrake[]
Very Positive
While every PoisonWing viewed Baskettail as a tool, Mandrake empathised her, knowing what it was like to have good leafspeak. They often train together, Baskettail even helping Mandrake with his leafspeak, and Mandrake helping Baskettail to make friends.
Cricket[]
Neutral-Positive
They rarely talk, but they enjoy each other's company. Cricket has lended Baskettail a few books before, but that's the most they've interacted. Cricket is deeply fascinated by Baskettail (as she is anything else she doesn't know about).
