Hanami

h a n a
buff, gruff and shy

Hanami, alongside his long-time friend Rurakhan, is tasked with training the clan's younger members, usually charged the hatchlings who have been selected to serve under the Shadowbinder once they have come of age, though the two are not against helping older members of the clan who are looking to better themselves.

Most dragons' first impression of Hana is that of an unyielding, unapproachable individual, and most of the members of the clan who don't deal with him very much admit to being highly intimidated of him. All this couldn't be farther from the truth, however, as Hana is merely very shy and slightly awkward around others. It becomes easy to see for the youngsters under his and Rurakhan's wing, and though they usually come in scared to the tips of their tails of him, the dragons he and Rurakhan train usually leave knowing that there's more to Hana than meets the eye.

Hana spends a lot of his free time with Rurakhan, though they spend their days together, so a lot of the members of the clan see them as unseparable. Indeed, Rurakhan is one of the only members of the clan who Hana is comfortable talking at length to or spending time with.

The other is Hana's formal breeding partner, Tsubaki. If Hana is not with Rurakhan, then he is likely to be found at Tsubaki's side. Though Tsubaki and Hanami don't go as far back as Hana and Rurakhan do, their bond still runs deep.
