Ivore

Born blind, Ivore instead saw the world through his other senses. He especially favored touch, finding the shape and feel of the world that way. As a hatchling it seemed he was never without something small in his little claws. He kept a collection of knick-knacks and do-dads that he enjoyed the feel of. His parents gifted him clay and wire, things that could be bent and twisted into different things. Ivore found joy in learning to build his own shapes. He learned to shape beautiful trinkets and jewelry and decided to take this up as his trade.

Ivore eventually left his home due to a near disbanding of the clan. He does not often talk about it, and the members of his new clan respect him by not asking. When he first arrived and asked if there was room for another member, he was moved by their instant willingness to accept a new member. Theirs was an open family and he loved it. A naturally shy soul, it took him a while to find his place, but he is happy to be here. He has made friends with the other members, making them little gifts and treasures. He works especially hard on those for Aquamarine, hoping to say with actions what he has not yet found the words for. Aquamarine has apparently remained entirely unaware, even as everyone else finds it painfully obvious.

[Familiar swapped because it was awakened, and will be back when others are awakened] Ivore's familiar is a basilisk, not an ideal companion for most due to the prettifying power in its gaze. However, on account of Ivore’s lack of sight the creature is not a source of danger to him, and on the contrary had become quite protective of his companion. This is likely due to most other dragons shunning it, and Ivore instead taking it in. Since there are sighted dragons around him, Ivore made his companion a small pair of dark glasses to prevent someone accidentally meeting a stony fate. The basilisk puts up with this only begrudgingly, but trusts Ivore enough to tolerate the inconvenience. It often assists Ivore by bringing tools he needs or sorting the colored beads for his projects. Ivore dotes on his beloved companion, and the two get along quite well.
