CerasusSpring

NOTE: part of this dragon's name is related to the pale green in her coloring, and the "branches" idea; the Cerasus family which includes the cherry trees are also associated with hope. Also, the "Malachite Gladekeeper" who is her primary familiar, in my personal headcannon is not a statue but a living thing that partakes of both animal and plant natures.



Note that InosculaKiss is her primary familiar; at various times she may be working with/training other familiars.

Hello Mother,

I have settled with a young, but rather dynamic clan in the Everbloom Gardens. It is led by a kind Tundra named Moonrun. Although perhaps “led” is not quite the word I want. She is a dragon of few words, and many affectionate headbumps. In recognition of which, the two dragons (two and a half? One of them is an “Aberration” – such an unflattering term – named PhiloVossi, and the other a Fae named MoonShadow); anyway in recognition of our Matriarch’s affections – along with her size – the clan alchemists have taken to making numerous fitted “Roundhorns” to mitigate the impact of her impulsive affections.

The clan is made up of a very interesting group of dragons; I have yet to meet an Undertide or a Coatl but I think nearly every other race is represented. As you might expect, this means the construction of the lair itself has been an odd undertaking. There is a treehouse (augmented by the sap or whatever it is that the Fae create) as well as extensive underground areas, which since they are occupied mostly by Gaolers and Guardians are mostly rather stark. I spend much of my time in the tea room, hosted by a lovely Veilspawn named Vow. I think in part she insisted on it as an alternative to the gaming room frequented by certain of the clan. Mostly they just use tokens or shells, but I suspect that some amount of actual gambling does take place.

I have had the good fortune to adopt (or be adopted by) a delightful, well I’m not actually sure if she is more of a creature or more of a plant. Her name as far as I can make it out is InosculaKiss, which I think I can translate as joining of lives. That kind of implies she has a sort of dual heritage, but we are still getting to know each other.

I do hope everyone is well! I miss you all!

CerasusSpring's second familiar is a dryad, specifically a barkskin watcher named LadyGreenLeaf who initially came near the clan with some concern about the amount of construction the clan was engaging in using Fae Sap. Because colonies of Fae have been known for a lack of planning and support, she was worried about potential damage to the landscape.

Happily, CerasusSpring was able to introduce LadyGreenLeaf to the engineering group who were well aware of the importance of planning, structural integrity and supports. Reassured, LadyGreenLeaf spends quite a bit of time here. It is due to LadyGreenLeaf's intervention that CerasusSpring was able to attract a Creeping Tendril and a Garden Watcher to "nest" in her Garden.
