Biography

VELA
Herbalist | Gardner | Nurturer

Kindhearted and caring, Vela was always one to love life of all sorts. As a hatchling, she fell in love with nature, often spending her days "watching flowers grow", despite how often her mother told her that it wasn't exatly something you could watch, with how long it took. But still, each morning at sunrise the little coatl would rush off to the garden to measure just how much her flowers had grown during the night, and which ones had begun blooming.

Watching the flowers bloom, now, that was something she could actually witness in real time, and it had always been her favorite thing to do. Once bloomed, she would study her flowers for days on end, sometimes sketching them in her journal to preserve their beauty, and other times she would pick them, carefully choosing the prettiest and brightest ones, and surprise her mother with a bouquet bursting with color.

Her formative years were spent among nature, in her garden and in the forests surrounding their clan's territory, always discovering wonderful new plants and collecting their seeds to add to her collection. By the time she was an adult, she was known across the land for her vast array of flora, her garden becoming a diverse jungle in her own backyard, and serving as a source of remedial and magical herbs for all sorts of mages and alchemists.

No one was surprised that Vela would be absolutely overjoyed upon becoming a mother, with her caring nature, but her bliss was short lived when her hatchlings outgrew their childish ways, and left the clan shortly after reaching maturity. Despite her initial happiness, there was a sadness that came along soon enough. Children weren't like flowers - they grew so much more quickly than her hatchlings did, but never left so soon like them. A flower could last all season, one among hundreds she knew she could always find in her garden, and would return year after year each spring.

But a hatchling you had to teach, to nurture and to love far more than any plant, and when they left, well, it was often for good. Vela knew she'd likely never see them again, but it didn't stop her from hoping, and truthfully, it didn't stop her from wanting to keep being a mother, no matter the consequences - but she just couldn't handle the emotional toll that came with losing children of her own to their adulthood.

So she became a foster mother, of sorts - there were plenty of young hatchlings without families or homes, who needed someone to care for them and raise them right. And even more so, there were young dragons, not quite so small and lonley, who needed a change of scenery, or to perhaps get away from a family they no longer felt welcome in. These older children found a new mother in her, and they were the ones who began returning year after year, many times even more often than that, to visit her after they'd gone off on her own.

And all of her new children were taught to garden, how to care for and respect the flowers and other plants, which ones to water extra and which to keep in the shade, and they all grew to love that garden just as much as they loved her, for it held beauty and knowledge, and in a way, those flowers were just as much her children as the rest of them were.
