Olive

Olive is the unofficial mother of the clan. As the fourth official member of the group, she helped a very new and unsure Probably and Pancake construct and maintain the clan. Olive passes on her wisdom to any hatchlings, providing love and discipline appropriately. She often has to uproot Probably from the hatchery so she can teach them, as Probs' doting is disruptive. Olive and her mate Pancake are extremely devoted to one another, and it's obvious to anyone who sees them that they are inseparable. Their offspring grow up with two very attentive parents, and they visit often. Some have even remained with Shenani Clan and raised their own families. At night she remains with Pancake until he falls asleep and in the past she used to go on patrol around the territory. It took a few months of loneliness, but by now Shenani Clan has expanded to the extent that Olive has company all through the night in other snappers and dragons with opposing sleep cycles. Thanks to Olive, Shenani Clan has a library open almost all hours; so long as you can find her. There are of course designated times when she's in the library, re-organizing returned or new books, or reading to the hatchlings. But if you find her and happen to ask nicely, she'll open the place up even after hours.

She wasn't always into library sciences, and the clan's previous residence in Wind Flight territory did not really afford the space or need for one. But ever since the clan's move to Earth Flight and the great expansion of their numbers (which included more than a few researchers!) Olive has risen to fill the new void.

The care in which old tomes must be treated with suits her delicate nature well, and she enjoys the company of new and old visitors alike. The odd thing about the area is... Well, the cats. Olive allows anyone to use the library, included a great many feral cats which have taken up residence in the area.

When Olive is not attending her books, she's composing and singing songs. Most of them have a hint of sadness to them, and many wonder if she's expressing some kind of previous experience with another clan through her lyrics. So far, none of them have been recorded on scrolls as of yet, but many clan members find themselves humming her tunes while they work or play.
