Sprout

Sprout started out as an explorer, and has been exploring for as long as he can remember. He often had buddies to travel with, but Sprout often didn't feel a genuine connection with them. It wasn't until he met Azure that he truly began to open up to himself. He saw before him a broken Fae, and vowed to stay by her side. He was teased about it, told that Mirrors do not protect things in the way Guardians do, but none of that deterred Sprout in the slightest.

He stuck by her side, through thick and thin, and was even able to break down some of her chilly demeanor. He had accepted that not all of it would be healed, but simply not trying was an injustice. He found himself as the right-hand of a newfound clan named Clockwise. He anticipated that he would become restless, settling down in a clan after so long adventuring, but soon he found that he didn't care. There were lots of ways to use his skills to the benefit of his Clan, like mapping and hunting. It was perfect for Sprout.

Some time later, Azure conducted relations with a Nature clan. Suffice it to say, Azure was not the best when it came to exchanging words, and it ended with unintentional manipulation. The Nature clan found out about it pretty quickly, and then cursed Sprout with ancient magic. Runes seared themselves into his hide, a secret trap set to release at a later date.

The runes did eventually attack Sprout, crippling him with intense pain and muscle cramps. Though it seemed manageable at first, his condition constantly grew worse, to the point where he had to stay behind for most physical tasks. He instead turned his focus back to Azure, almost dead set on still being useful to the dragon he cared so deeply about.
