Ivy

- they/them pronouns. though the body they were resurrected from was female, they are an embodiment of nature magic and don't really identify with any gender.

- ancient nature guardian, wildclaw that died beside the base of the behemoth and was resurrected by nature magic with the role of keeping the viridian labyrinth alive and warding off any danger. they have no memory of their past life and have reverted to a primal/tribal wildclaw state. they are made purely from plants (the skin is what they actually look like), though theyre much stronger than normal plants and very difficult to even rip their delicate-looking leafy wings.
- everyones lowkey scared of them but they make SO much plants grow and the clan fear what they could do if they tried to get rid of them so they keep them around.

- they are as intelligent as your average wildclaw, they just dont speak any language that anyone recognises or can understand, though some scholars of the clan are working to try and learn more about their ancient language.

- whilst foraging in the shrieking wilds, a small group of the clan was nearly attacked by them, as ivy ran at them wings spread and crests flared and, befitting of their location's namesake, shrieking loudly. the group managed to calm them down and gave ivy some jerky as an offering. ivy was delighted and followed the group around for more. when the group left the forest however, ivy stayed, watching the treeline.

the next spring they returned, and were met by the nature spirit once more, who remembered them. the clan gave them jerky and this time some of their food they had with them. when eventually they finished foraging and trading with the local nature clans, they left, but this time, ivy decided to come with them. it was a stressful journey on the boat and more than once ivy flew away, but with more jerky and giving them a cave to themself (which also became the clan's garden), they decided to stay.

- they mostly chill in the garden with Izhua, making sure the plants are growing

- they dont really have a name and only speak in screeches and grunts and their ancient language, so the clan has nicknamed them ivy. they respond to only a few dragons they like when they call their name.

- the thorn apparel is not part of their body necessarily, but it is made from purely organic material they grew themselves with their seemingly infinite nature magic. this, alongside ivy's enjoyment of particular foods, is evidence to the clan that ivy is not a mindless nature spirit but has feelings, likes and dislikes and cares about their appearance. this only grows the clan's scientists, arcanists and scholars' curiosity towards them.

- hilea is her closest companion. they communicate without words mostly but seem to understand eachother more than anyone else in the clan. they are often seen caring for plants together in the garden, hilea sometimes lounging on ivy's body, which is even more surprising as ivy rarely lets anyone touch them.
