Family
Arbora's parents, Escarole and Frisee, were always busy and unable to care for her, so she was mostly left to her own devices. In the harsh and unforgiving landscape near the Tempest Spire, plants were rare, and those that survived were harsh bits of shrub and prickly cacti. Their ability to survive in the merciless landscape fascinated Arbora, and she developed a gift with plants. Leolin and Eleanora, ambassadors for the Clan of Swaying Trees, along with the clan's lightning representative Honor, were on a trip to the Lightning domain to look for new members of the Circle of Druids when they found Arbora and took her into their clan.

Occupation
Arbora's interest in plants blossomed (no pun intended) once she arrived at the Viridian Labyrinth. She was fascinated by the delicate balance in the thriving landscape. She studies the ecosystem, and how different plants survive during crippling cold and sweltering heat, as well as how to maintain the vitality of the woodland.

Backstory
The sparking egg burst open, and a small dragon crawled out of it. She was a deep forest green color, with shimmering scales and wings that caught the light like a stained glass window, and a ridge of evergreen spines ran along her neck. Arbora's life in the Shifting Expanse was difficult, as her lair faced famine and drought. She regularly had to go hungry and without any water. However, she was extremely skilled with gardening and naturalism. Because of this, she drew from groundwater and created a hydroponics system with which to grow plants for food. At the time, Sylvana had sent several dragons to live for new, talented members to join the Circle of Druids. They instantly accepted Arbora into their group, and she was mentored by Sylvana. Arbora also studies the natural past as it is preserved in the grove, hoping to uncover its secrets.

Personality
Arbora is reserved and keen. She is extremely intelligent, but not one to brag about her work, as she is always just looking for the next answer to the next question. She doesn't like to brag about her work with others, and will only share it for the sake of greater scientific discovery. She is tough, and her time in the Shifting Expanse made her excellent at surviving harsh environments, therefore silently looking down on anyone who complains or whines.

Relationships
Arbora silently respects Jodugar, and dislikes those who speak ill of her, though she would never articulate it. She gets along well with Sylvana, her mentor, and she is the only one that Arbora is willing to talk to about her work. However, she despises Sylvana's mate, Pomelo, finding him far too arrogant and unbearable, yet she gets along fairly well with Crisiant, though she wouldn't exactly consider her a friend. She enjoys talking about work with Elodea, though she can be intimidated by how talkative he is.
