Biography

Poem by Lightshadow101!

I am toxic, all beware
My bright colors catch you in my snare
You may think I'm a helpless flower
But in reality I have all the power

I am deadly, all be told
My colors are bright and bold
My true colors are actually dark
The contrast between them is quite stark

I am poison, you must know
All this kindness is just a show
I am venomous, I can kill you
When I'm out for blood, you don't have a redo

Ambrosia is a toxic beauty who was hatched in the midst a devil's snare thicket, encircled with Destroying Angel mushrooms. The circle of mushrooms clearly took pity on her, and their innate magic not only kept the egg warm but also bestowed a natural resistance to poison. Dropped by a careless courier, alone to fend for herself in the wilderness marshlands, she grew up on a diet of poisoned dart frogs, devil's snare and belladonna berries. When she was first found by the Oakheart clan's lead Tender of the Forests, Enchantress the skydancer, it took a painfully long time to lure her close enough to capture- and then twice as long to re-educate her in the ways of normal, properly socialized dragons. Enchantress took her under her wing, though, and once they worked out she would eat nothing but things which made others ill, Ambrosia learned to speak quite quickly. Her natural flair- and unhealthy obsession- with poisons, led her to studying with unnerving aptitude under the watchful- if suspicious- eye of Changjinglu, the clan alchemist.
...back when he was, you know, alive.

Vortex and the other clan healers will chase her away from anything or anyone they're working on. They mutter that even a glance from the death-eating lunatic would surely bring suffering and demise to the sickly.
This was grossly untrue, as Ambrosia considered irritably in the privacy of her own sleeping hollow by the fire (no one ever made her share, or stole her spot). She almost always remembered to wash her hands after eating her afternoon snack of poison dart frogs. That time she helped get Changjinglu a drink of water and forgot to take the frogs out first was also just a terrible mistake, and wasn't everyone allowed seven or eight of those??

Ambrosia is a little distant from the clan, preferring her own company and that of her trained poisoned dart frog, George (trained to call other unfortunate frogs to their demise). He has an extremely nervous disposition, and a tendency to hide under Ambrosia's mane and leap out at unsuspecting strangers, merely to cling to their faces in a desperate bid for freedom. Ambrosia's closest dragon-friend is Requiem, the singer, and the pair will sit and talk about whatever is on their mind for hours- never really listening to the other, and could scarce understand if they tried- but it's companionship nevertheless. Ambrosia doesn't even care that Requiem's loquatious nature drives her to unnecessarily explain a story before the notes have even died away.

Ambrosia is a cultivator and collector of poisonous plants, frogs, spiders and mushrooms. No one wants, or asks her to do this, but since there's no stopping her, it may as well be official. Hatchlings have learned quickly that if Ambrosia is touching it, it's poisonous. If Ambrosia is eating it, it's probably completely deadly. If you can't be a good example, be a terrible warning. Just make sure people know which one you're trying to be.

Ambrosia is a star forager, but in a very selective area- posionous or hallucenogenic mushrooms and other flora. She absolutely adores them. Often on toast. As a tender egg, she was absent-mindedly dropped from the backpack of her mother (a botanist) and her absence was not noticed for a week or more, by which time the egg had hatched and the hatchling had subsisted on the flourescent and deathcap mushrooms, among other deathly poisonous things. Instead of dying horribly, however, as luck would have it, she had a natural tolerance to the toxins- and in fact, often sought them out preferentially, as an acquired taste everyone else somehow failed to grasp.
