Valoran is rather introverted and mild-mannered. It takes a lot for him to get ruffled, anxious, or angry. He has the uncanny ability to talk down high tensions and mediate between others, though it's not a skill he enjoys employing often as he much prefers to live his life simply and quietly. He is most often found in his shop, strolling around the botanical gardens, or reluctantly helping out in Bellchimes at Hemlock's request. He is the owner of his own tailor's shop and makes the majority of the clan's clothes. He enjoys bringing a bit of beauty and joy into the world and has chosen fashion and clothing as his medium since it's also what brings him the most joy to do. His designs have not hit the larger market due to both his reclusive nature and the obscurity of the Windmarrow Clan, but in local circles his name is passing through more & more mouths.

Valoran & Ryeun Valoran once apprenticed under a master Corven weaver from the nearby Talonok harmony. During his time under the master, he would often visit the foo kittens. One of the kittens took a liking to Valoran, becoming more and more attached with time, until he took to crying when Valoran left. Eventually, the foo kitten snuck back to the Windmarrow Town by following Valoran as he returned for the day. Ryeun was soon discovered, but all attempts to return him to the Takemorebi Harmony ended in further escape incidents, claws, and prolonged bouts of yowling. Eventually, both Valoran & the Talonok accepted that there was no separating the two and granted Valoran custody of the Foo. Nowadays, Ryeun and Valoran are almost never apart and it's an unspoken fact that you can't be Val's friend if you can't also be Ryeun's friend. The Foo is commonly seen sitting in between Val's wings and occasionally grooming his mane. As revenge, Val forces him to be a sort of mannequin when he runs out of his actual ones.

Corven Weaving The art of Corven weaving does not leave Corven circles under normal circumstances, so for a dragon to find himself the apprentice of a Corven master is most unusual indeed. The longstanding peace and trade agreements between Windmarrow & Takemorebi allowed Valoran to visit the Harmony at a young age. He had already become enamored with clothes-making, and seeing the finely woven textiles of the Corven filled him with wide-eyed wonder and appreciation. The esteemed master weaver Nishijin took note of his interest and after a time watching, determined his interest in weaving was born from genuine and pure appreciation for and dedication to the craft. Valoran was invited to weaving classes which he happily attended, until eventually being accepted under Nishijin as an apprentice.

Stolen Mantle Dragonmade A dragon wearing the mantle of a foo is marked as a target by all Talonok. 32

Ryeun's Mantle When Valoran officially adopted Ryeun, his mentor guided him through the process of weaving one of these. Ryeun's mantle is that of a normal foo, which means it is less decorated then those given as recognition of great deeds & those worn ceremonially.

Exotic Arcanist Idol Trinkets A crudely-fashioned stuffed doll that resembles the Arcanist. The fabric is exotic, but the doll feels like it could fall apart if not handled delicately. 1000

Valoran's First Plush In one of his classes, Valoran had to create a plush. This doll was the result. An inexperienced hand and years of use have made it very delicate and relegated it to a high shelf spot in Valoran's room to prevent it from falling apart.

Pressed Flower Organics Save every flower for future generations! 27

Valoran's Hobby Valoran finds pressing flowers to be a relaxing hobby and his house is full of flowers of every kind. He has yet to find a solid way of incorporating them into his clothing without damaging the delicate dried flowers.

⸺ Hemlock ⸺⸺⸺ Undefined, Best Friend, Most Important Person

Hemlock is Valoran's closest and most beloved person. Neither quite remembers how their friendship started, but it has been long enough that the thought of life before each other is almost a strange one. Despite their different temperaments, they share a deep passion for what they do.
Valoran supports Hemlock in all his endeavors as the calm to Hemlock's energy. He often helps Hemlock when his anxiety flares. Hemlock, in turn grounds Valoran when he gets too lost in his head and helps keep his introversion from turning into self-isolation.
