Qualia

Qualia does not have the best constitution, the impact being that she can only travel for a relatively short period of time before it becomes necessary to rest. Both family and birth-clan endeavoured to be supportive and were proud when she eventually decided to travel independently and do research in foreign lands. Even before that point she'd been endeavouring to learn skills that would help her live a more independent life. Such as woodweaving for baskets. It was partly due to her limited endurance that she spent a good deal of her youth within the lair. Books were the perfect passtime for a dragon of such circumstances, and the hobby of reading has stayed with her. Qualia may discuss aspects of genres she has better familiarity with.

The Skydancer's focus is on mirrors and scrying orbs. She theorises that their function will differ depending on the realm they are used in, particularly with regard to Shadow's muddying of their shrine's former pool and Light's contrary approach. Tangentially to her interest in areas of magical intensity, Qualia also takes a more relaxed interest in locales reported to be hubs of supernatural activity. Sudden bursts of extreme emotion in those around her pain the Skydancer, so the company she prefers, if any, tend to be somewhat muted in disposition. So Tzynket, Cherra, Shunic, Inima, Suna, Bryn and hatchlings tend to be avoided by her. Chlorr, Veev, Illuminata, Orssiel, Inkfell, Iridice and Ponscill are individuals she holds in decent regard. Qualia's regard of Melreyna (and Myzrin) can be somewhat ambivalent, but the Mirror's willingness to accommodate needs warrants gratitude and at least some respect.

In particular: Qualia shares sympathies with Veev, along with a project which is not disclosed of (beyond mandatory registering of uncommon research materials) to those outside of the research group.
The Arcane Skydancer reportedly has historically had issues where she cannot help but influence the emotions of those around her when she is at an extreme herself. Therefore Qualia attempts to suppress herself. However, Illuminata, a fellow Skydancer, has offered support: a place to cry and rage to her heart's content.
Besides Illuminata, Qualia also considers Bontu a close friend. To see another dragon who has overcome past turmoils is inspiring, and she heeds his advice as to ways to deal with troubled times.

While crowds, rife with a cacophany of varying sentiments, can be highly discomforting to Qualia as a general rule, she finds it envigorating when a notable group are harmonious in sentiment. Therefore when she travels and seeks hospitable clans, she prefers those united in an ideal.

Occasionally, the Skydancer has sent accounts of her observations to the Oculus of the Eleven. She appears to treat their research subjects as tangential rather than intrinsically related, however.

Qualia likes things that gleam, which is not the same as Lennuh's affection for shiny things. The Skydancer enjoys wordplay, and employs it both to raise her own spirits and to try cheer others.

Her familiar is called Noam Mill DePoe. Awakened on 3/7/2016.
