Tameika; Starlit Dancer, Interstellar Performer, Celestial Charmer
There is absolutely no denying the fact that Tameika is a one of a kind Dragon. Gifted with abilities many have yet to comprehend, this Nocturne is perhaps the epitome of gallantry; his movements entrance even the most nimble of Skydancers, known for their joyful aerial movements; his performances, his amazing shows, manage to capture the attention of all who watch, even the crazy antsy and hyperactive Spirals. And, unlike many other Nocturnes (if not to say the majority), all of his compositions and routines are 100% original and creative, made by the very Nocturne in question.

Now, no one's quite sure just how Tameika manages to compose all of his dances. Some speculate that he sees ethereal visions at night, a sub-product of his Primal eyesight gifts- they say that he is capable of seeing ghostly wisps, mystical forms that dance to and fro, and he copies what he sees to create his own variations. Others say that Tameika is the reincarnation of all great dancers past, his current abilities being a collective of all of his past lives' talents, memories, and their own routines. He's never denied nor confirmed any of these speculations though, and he's quite happy to listen to others' rumors and hypothesis- it's one of his favorite pastimes.

However, one this is for certain: Tameika is an outstanding Nocturne, gifted to such extent that even he, himself, questions it. But he never brags about it, he never shows off. He likes to dance for others, it makes him happy to see others happy, and by nature, he's a very humble and energetic Nocturne! He'll never shy away from teaching aspiring dancers, either! Feel free to ask him for advice whenever!

Ever since he was young, Tameika had not only been interested in music, but fascinated. He would hear musicians play and feel as though his whole world was coming together. Growing up, he'd try a large variety of instruments himself- just about anything he could get his hands on, really- but none were ever able to hold his interest long enough to gain any real skill, and while his voice isn't bad, per se, he doesn't consider it a wonder.

No, Tameika's proficiency comes with his dance; When he really gets into the music it's truly something to behold. He seems to be able to simply flow across a room. To some, his performance can almost seem to overshadow the music itself, but to others, watching him dance to whatever particular tune's playing can give them a small insight into why he holds music so dear. Some rumors say the very air itself shifts with him to aid his, so to speak, breathtaking execution.
