phenotype

okay stop insulting my sail before i slap you

Definitely unique. From afar, Latte looks like a stout brown SkyWing, short with a little bit of chubbiness and rather small wings. Closer, and her sail becomes obvious, an almost fluffy soft thing running down her back. Closer still, and a complete collection of random features appear, all stuck together and managing to be somewhat unified in this little hybrid.

Latte's body is more SkyWing. Like her genetics took one, and glued smaller wings and a sail on it. Maybe shortened the tail. Enlarged it's head and messed with the features, and ended up with a weird... combination?

Her scales would make one think MudWing, but she doesn't have a single drop of that tribe's blood in her. Her scales are a dusty, almost caramel color. If you wanted to be fancy, you could call it slightly desaturated orange. Ignore the fact that the words cannot be matched with that color. Light taupe?

Her top scales are darker, as topscales usually are. Dark moderate orange, according to the fancy color dictionary that doesn't know what brown is. Russet, perhaps. A reddish deep brown, still full and bursting with color. The small band of color between her scales and underbelly, contrary to popular believe, is not the same color. It's a darker, dark chocolate style color. Called very dark orange [brown tone] or dark sienna in the fancy circles. It's the same color as her eyes, deep, dark brown.

Her underbelly is lighter, a much more obvious orange tone, with slight hints of gold and honey. Caramel, if you will. Very soft orange... tumbleweed? A color with many names. But caramel is the best, soft caramel matching the softness of her underbelly.

Latte's wings are a red coppery shade, matched by the fancy name of Kenyan copper, not so much with the dark orange [brown tone]. A very saturated though dark shade, it might make your eyes hurt if you stare too long.

Her horns are a dusty, possibly disgusting yellow depending on who you ask. Peachy, definitely yellow, apparently also 'very soft orange.' Or wheat. It does look similar to wheat in shade, if you took the lightest color on a picture of the plant and fill-bucketed the world with it.

Latte has a very noticeable, very floofy sail that happens to be her pride and joy. It's pure white, or as pure as something natural can be. And bouncy, soft, and just about the best thing to have in place of your spines. No one can argue that it's white. It's not very soft orange. It's white.

Her more unique feature are the hearts. Small patterns like the ones draw on the surface of lattes. A white row of four blobby shapes under each eye, and a pale, 'wheat' colored column running from neck to tail. Maybe she was named because of this, maybe her genes decided to do this retroactively.

She has a heart necklace around her neck, a painted piece of wood attached to a thick black string, looped around her neck. Soft lime green. Screamin' green. A very bright, almost neon color, cornered and stuffed into the little roundish shape.

Latte is very expressive. Her face always has some emotion flitting across it. Even when trying to keep a poker face, she will fail. Latte's almost moving, maybe not always energetic, but constantly fidgeting, her mind usually on a fast track to nowhere, and she doesn't seem to really slow down.

At least not in front of others, maybe?

personality

you say i'm contradicting myself, but that's like, my main trait.

Latte is introverted, in the most technical way. Being outgoing to shy is a spectrum, and she would be at about 44.8%, a little shy, perhaps, but pretty much in the ambivert range. She'd rather be reading inside than outside with others, feeling the murderous sun on her face, but she still has a generous amount of friends.

Latte has an interesting philosophy, of how something isn't awkward until someone makes it awkward. As a result she's pretty blunt, saying things straight up, at least most of the time. She'll avoid the banter and useless words, and beating around the bush is not her style. If she wants something, she'll ask straight out. Unless, of course, the dragon in question is terrifying, in which case she can find another way. Latte is awkward, yes. A little weird in social situations, definitely not good with crowds. But it's only awkward if you make it awkward, so... yeah.

She has a weird thing, where she can be funny when she isn't trying. Latte will utter something, and suddenly others are laughing, even if it isn't quite the message she was trying to get across. Despite this, if she actually tries, jokes are suddenly a bland lecture. Latte has friends, and loves chatting with them. She will help them, support them, but tries to stay out of the drama. However, she does have a fierce sense of loyalty, and will try to protect friends from ruined reputations and mental pain. She still has a decent attention. Unless something is really boring her, Latte can sit at rapt attention, or, at least, pretending she is. She will always listen to friends, and try to support them, despite having almost zero social skills.

When it comes to bullying, Latte tries to look like it doesn't affect her. She never cared much for appearances, and will only look nice if forced to do so. However, being prodded by others and constantly bothered can wear down her defenses. However, Latte has the temper of a volcano. She can explode at any moment, and once she starts venting, it's hard to stop. She can be seen as emotional, a constant, roiling ocean that could boil at any moment. There is no such thing as self control in her dictionary. This magical thing that others seem to possess only drops by every now and then to inform Latte she's being an idiot.

Self deprecating is a great word to describe her.

Socially, Latte is unpredictable, a weirdo, and definitely out there, despite being sort of an introvert. However, academically, it's a different story.

Latte is very much intelligent. School is a breeze. She can ignore teachers for the entire year, yet still score well on tests. She has a wealth of background knowledge, and a memory that can last long enough until the topic is over. Usually, she doesn't do more than skim the material and act like she's paying attention. However, she still doesn't slack off. Latte finds reading incredibly interesting, even thick books full of science. If the author went through the effort of writing a legible book, Latte would go through the effort of getting her talons on it. She's a voracious reader, in every sense of the word. No book escapes, unless it's like, one hundred years old. She's skilled in math, though nowhere near the top. School is easy, but competition math can have her defeated. But she's usually good enough to... not be last, and she sees that as enough. No one can be good at everything, and no matter how much her parents push, math just isn't the domain she can conquer. She could be notable and amazing, yes, but not extraordinary. And personally, math isn't exactly her favorite thing.

Latte has many passions. Science, fantasy, writing, art. She likes staying holed up in her room, drawing and writing, reading patiently through large books. She loves being alone at these times, enjoying times with characters, living with only the candles and the papers.

Latte is intelligent, happy enough, good with others. She lives a happy life, though she isn't particularly good at being grateful. She's a dragonet with too many interests. She is easily distracted, her mind wandering. She can look grounded, but have her head in the clouds. Always moving, on the go, and yet curled up on a rainy evening, reading. She’s a night owl, staying up late. She seems to have a perfect life, yet it isn't quite there.

She gets lonely easily. It's weird, a contradiction in her nature. She enjoys being alone, by herself. She is alone, but also not lonely. However, it is usually in the midst of others, at a party or in school, that she truly feels lonely. She's insecure. Questioning of her existence. Philosophical, and yet it doesn't mix with the rest of her.

Also an extreme procrastinator. Latte is a rather forgetful dragon, or maybe its ignorant? She tends to 'forget' about deadlines, and therefore drag things on until the last possible minute, and then some. Inspiration to her is another rare, magical thing, one that will stop by at the least convenient moments.

Her way of dealing with stress is usually more problematic than the stress itself. She has the tendency to throw the feeling in a box, and shove it in the back of her mind. Leading to forgetting, never facing the actual problem, and overall having no idea what to do. The stress is gone, but not completely, buzzing in the back of her mind. It creates more worries, more boxes in the attic of her brain, and the cycle is very clearly a fun process. She also has the usual teenage angst, the depression that comes with maturity, all the fun things of growing up. But she has friends. She has supports. And that's, maybe, all she needs.

She's very messy, yet also likes everything neat. Another wonderful contradiction in her self, and maybe it's okay that way. It annoys her, how everything around her is a complete dump, while small things are perfectly organized. Or maybe she's just used to it. It's all very confusing, and she admits it.

Latte is weird, and maybe a bit like three different dragons squished into one. But it works.
