Trivia and Differences from Official Art

Trivia

Petrichor is the fresh smell following the rain on dry earth. His name was chosen rather than given by a parent, but it is unknown what he used to be called.
Petrichor is the fastest dragon in the Kingdom - only slower than the gaseous form of the Miasma! He is also the only dragon to run messages directly to and from the Castle.
Petrichor owes much of his speed to the Wind Runes he carries, but just as much he trains his personal endurance.
The collar Petrichor wears is permanently fused to his skin, and is a remnant of his thieving days.

Art Differences

There are thick scars around Petrichor's neck, directly surrounding the collar he wears.
Petrichor's wings are smaller and shorter than many other dragons, and his mane of feathers along his head and spine are smaller and much finer as well.
Petrichor has sparse feathers on the backs of his legs.
Rather than having scales, he is covered in minuscule feathers all across his body.

Personality

Petrichor is a fun loving and laid back dragon, but one who carries a strong sense of duty. He is immensely proud - and will tell everyone just that - of his speed and how entrusted he is to carry messages directly to and from the Kings themselves. He is rarely serious about most matters and will approach things with a sense of humor and a lot of trust. Able to befriend just about anyone, he has a large social circle and likes to show off for his friends. Don't let his laid back nature fool you - he would die for any of his friends.

Background

Petrichor's childhood is a bit of a blur, and asking him to recall it is about as easy as asking a Nocturne to view their reflection. He grew up stealing on the streets, taken in by a ring of thieves and criminals hoping to capitalize on his small size and youthful face to get the pity of well-meaning dragons. His first years saw him as a beggar, but his deft claws and fast footwork made him a better pickpocket than anything. Eventually his exploits got the attention of high-paying nobles looking to knock the Miasmic Kingdom down a notch; by stealing the King's Crowns.

Petrichor, with his mission in the back of his mind, traveled to the Kingdom in question to scope out how heavily guarded the crowns were. At the time, he stayed in the newly established Temple of Life, where the Priestess Hibou offered him shelter as a traveler in his own right. When she learned of his plan to take the crowns, she and her Guardian tried to persuade him to give up - but Petrichor was stubborn and refused to drop his quest.

Solarien and Hibou alerted the Royal Guard, who captured Petrichor and brought him before the Kings. Under the influence of the ruthless Miasma, Baptisia bestowed upon Petrichor a copper collar that could never be removed, and told him that he could earn his freedom if he lived his life in service to the Kingdom. Petrichor, ultimately choosing between a life of servitude or his own execution, accepted. He found he enjoyed what he was tasked with - delivering correspondence from the Kings to the various corners of the Kingdom post-haste - and chose to remain within the Kingdom's borders.

Though some say he is still in contact with his previous employers...

Familiar and Bond

Petrichor's Living Sculpture is not in fact alive - rather, much like his collar it is a deeply enchanted item that serves to keep a watchful eye on the ex-thief, ensuring that he will never betray the Kingdom. It serves a double purpose nowadays, guarding the packages that Petrichor and his fellow messengers have yet to carry to their destinations. The Sculpture does appear to move on its own, and has even been spotted showing affection towards Petrichor when the messenger is off-duty.

Petrichor and his Sculpture have less of a bond and more of an obscure partnership, becoming something borderline mutualistic. The Sculpture receives the constant magical attention that such an enchanted object requires to remain in an animated state, and Petrichor doesn't need to fear that his delayed packages will be ruined or stolen.

Occupation and Hobbies

As the royal messenger, Petrichor's inherent speed is put to use; running messages for nearly everyone in the Kingdom, Pet is always on his feet and rarely stops moving, even when he has a day off. Typically he can be seen running four or five letters across the Kingdom at a time, though on slower days he will run packages. His highest priority, however, is messages from the Kings. These messages are of utmost importance and may not be delayed, which is the only time that Petrichor will be seen flying rather than running.

Outside of his duties, Petrichor's hobbies include racing other dragons - whether to feed his ego or entertain others is uncertain - and stalking through Saoirse's garden to peruse the season's latest blooms. One wouldn't think him a creature of such class, but anyone who doubts his fondness for the world around him will be hard pressed to find any other reason for him to wander the garden - unless of course he's seeking his husband.

Relationships

Relation: Captor
Yamanu doesn't like to consider himself Petrichor's captor in anything more than title; rather, the two dragons regard each other as friends. Yamanu actually had very little to do with Petrichor's sentence, and they often race each other and walk the gardens to talk.

Relation: Captor
Unlike Yamanu, Baptisia had everything to do with Petrichor's sentence. Despite the initial tension between these two dragons, their relationship has improved in great strides since Petrichor's marriage - in fact, it was Baptisia who officiated the ceremony!

Relation: Husband
Though few have the patience to understand Saoirse, Petrichor devoted his time and heart to understanding the ancient Tundra; the two have been close since Petrichor's arrival, and their marriage was a cause of celebration throughout the entire Kingdom.

Relation: Rival
While one wouldn't necessarily call them enemies, there is no doubt animosity between Tamara and Petrichor due to the latter's questionable past. Though they rarely see eye to eye, both put an impressive amount of trust in the other should it be necessary.

Relation: Best Friend
When Ricochet is not on duty and Petrichor has little work to do, it is always a cause for a race between these two. The fastest dragons in the Kingdom, both dragons constantly push each other to their limits, and their bond has only strengthened because of it.

Relation: Apprentice
Serenity, Beist's younger sister, had a hard time fitting in when she was all but dumped on her brother's doorstep. She grew up constantly seeking freedom, and Petrichor took her under his wing and taught her everything he knew about being a messenger, in hopes she might continue to pursue the freedom he was robbed of.
