Note: My stuff, don’t touch >:c!
Delight is a traveling RainWing Chef who specializes in desserts. She’s not too well known, as she follows a very specific route and focuses more on learning and cultivating her skills in making deserts rather than promoting herself, however that doesn’t mean she lacks devoted customers or fans. In the Rainforest and the ports leading from Pyrrhia to Pantala and Pantala to Pyrrhia, Delight is an anticipated dragon. She spends most of her time exploring and discovering new treats to add to her Compendium of Desserts, however she makes sure to stop at the three aforementioned areas each year. She arrives exactly on time like a clockwork, anticipating festivals and holidays in order to maximize profits and has become a bit of a local celebrity. If you’re lucky, you might encounter her on your travels and earn a sugary delight if you manage to charm her!
Appearance[]
Delight looks like your standard RainWing, however her horns have four curves instead of the standard two, she also has especially round cheeks and soft curves. She’s of average size and very delicate looking due to her tendency is have her frills flared and her head down. Despite this, she has a very friendly and outgoing personality, eagerly socializing with anyone willing to talk to her.
Colors[]
Delight’s main scales are a lovely cotton candy pink that’s dotted with bright blue flecks. Scales lining her back, shoulder, and thighs, and the scales separating her main scales and belly scales are lavender purple. Her belly scales start a light yellow and deepen to bright orange at the chest before paling again to a light yellow. The pink of her main scales darkens to a hot pink at her talons which are flecked with blue, and her spikes are bright blue. The inside of her ear and mouth are also blue, but her tongue is a yellow-orange, as are her eyes. Her horns are ashy white flecked with blue at the base, and her claws are a polished almost-white cotton candy pink. The tips of her wings also like her talons darkens into a hot pink flecked with blue, and the membrane of her wings and frill start light pink and shift to orange then light yellow as they approach the edge. Bright blue flecks are scattered at the edge of her wings and over her cheeks like freckles similar to the floating embers of a blue flame.
Marks & Accessories[]
Delight never wear rings or other talon accessories since they often get in the way of cooking, however she does enjoy wearing a pair of small simple golden ring earrings. She also usually wears an apron and gloves for utilitarian purposes.
Personality[]
- a romantic, always thinks about what having the perfect partner would be like, doesn't have the courage to actually realize her dreams though
- commitment issues, always hesitant to have deep relationships (big reason why she loves baking and travelling, she's all by herself)
- very friendly, a great listener, and an engaging yapper, can chat for hours. Loves getting to know new people
- gets bored easily if it doesn't get her into the 'zone'
- loves being 'in the zone', usually happens when she travelling (like running/flying a marathon) or cooking
- grew up around very dismissive and unreliable dragons, so she never asks for help and hesitates to accept help (big reason why she has commitment issues)
- dislikes getting into fights and confrontation, however she will take issues into her own hands. If she doesn't like something she'll just leave. She doesn’t necessarily hate violence, she just thinks get hurt and or injured would be tedious. On occasions when her nonchalance to violence is revealed, many gawk at her unfazed attitude. It’s often comedic.
- nurtured by adoptive grandmother-esque figure. Specifically nurtured! She was NOT raised. She cared for herself with some assistance from this ‘grandmother’. This figure wasn’t suited to child rearing and very cynical, but she still made sure Delight didn’t die and taught her the bare basics in surviving the Rainforest. In fact it was the figure who named Delight. Was nearing eating by a panther once, kinda traumatized. Hates and loves her ‘grandma’ for being the only one to care for her yet not caring for her enough. Where her dislike of cynics and their like comes from.
- while she loves socializing she doesn’t really trust others too deep, she assumes (not the worst, but pretty bad) of most dragons. She knows many dragons are pretty shallow, self-serving, and apathetic.
- prefers to avoids problems instead of deal with them-after all, out of sight, out of mind right?
- very opinionated, won't mention it though
- many think she's erratic and flighty, with her mind in the clouds. They're half right, she's actually much more aware than other think. Her situational awareness is good, her tendency to avoid confrontation by refusing to voice her opinions or addressing what discomforts her will result in her leaving without warning while dragons who've bothered her have no clue why she left.
- very self sufficient, good hunter, can read the stars and knows a good set of safety forage foods in each Kingdom.
- always has an ear opened, has eavesdropped on many conversations unintentionally since most just think she's a ditzy sugar obsessed baker/cook/traveler

Weaknesses[]
- Trust Issues - Delight has trust issues that stem from severe negligence in her dragonethood. She never has a reliable parent figure able to maintain a constant presence in her life so she was forced to be self sufficient. Accepting help is difficult for her, and asking for her is even harder.
- commitment issues - An issue stemming from her trust issues; Delight dislikes forming deep relationships. Being committed to a partner or friend requires a mutual trust she's not willing to give, so she often keeps people at arms length. Because of this, most of her relationships while positive are pretty shallow.
- Problem Avoider - Because Delight dislikes being in situations where she has to ask for help, she tends to avoid problems. This can be anything from disagreeing with someone's opinion or straight of fighting. Because of her aversion to confrontation, she has a bit of a reputation as a pacificist.
- Poor communicator - Delight, because of her problem avoiding tendencies, she doesn't tell people when they bother her, not wanting to deal with the hassle of anger or apologies. What she'll do is leave, straight up. If she's not comfortable she quite literally runs away from the problem-part of the reason why she enjoys traveling-and this has given her a reputation as a distracted ditzy daydreamer that lacks situational awareness.
History[]
- born in the Rainforest to two unknown parents since she hatched before Glory's rule. Bit of an odd ball, mute, liked to stare at stuff for a long time (the world fascinates her)

Feel free to ask on my wall <3
Pinkie Axolotl Roseate - Positive[]
Her nemesis! Her archenemy! Her ultimate rival! That's what most dragons think when Pinkie and Delight meet. However they couldn't be more wrong, though the misconception wouldn't be their fault. They love to pretend to fight, screaming obscenities into the wind and shaking their fists as they diss each other's merchandise. It started as a joke-during their first meeting, Pinkie, being the blunt sarcastic dragoness she is, commented on Delight's wares, noting the randomness of the desserts. A popsicle, custard, black forest cake, red velvet, and chocolate croissants; the lack of theming was just confusing. Delight immediately shot back with a not-rude but unnecessary comment; Pinkie's empathetic abilities and Delight's natural emotional intelligence immediately clicked. And as they stared each other down, there was an unspoken declaration of a roast war. And it's been the same ever since. They've never actually spoken to each other once outside of insults but they communicate better than most dragons. The war still hasn't been won.
Paris - positive[]
Paris was one of Delight's many mentors, the one who taught the RainWing how to make Parisian desserts. Paris as her name implies lives in Paris, she specializes in Parisian cuisine and is one of the few dragons to share a deep bond with Delight. They both love food, talking, and love exploring new things, so it was inevitable they would get along like a house on fire. Delight loves to share new stories with Paris during their yearly meetings, and Paris loves sharing her new recipes. Delight also loves showering Paris' dragonet with sugary sweets, much to the exasperation of Paris since the SkyWing ends up being the one to clean up the subsequent mess of a hyperactive RainWing and a SkyWing dragonet with a sugar high.
Trivia[]
- I created her November 6th, 2024 when I was eating ice cream. I called it a delectable dairy delight then realized delight would be an awesome RainWing name and thus Delight was born. I need more cook OCs anyways lol.
