Ylli

Ylli is an only child with two mothers who dote on him. More so after he nearly died as a hatchling. Nobody talks about it and Ylli can't remember what happened. All he really knows is the event affected his ability to speak when he's nervous, upset, or excited. Or at least he thinks that must be why. Regardless, he prefers to focus on happier thoughts. Like the fact his whole family learned sign language together, all for him...and stars.

Mostly he loves to think about stars. And look at stars. And find stars. Stars are the absolute best!

So many of his earliest and fondest memories deal with stars. What started as traveling through them with his mothers in wonder, star-gazing as a family, quickly took off into a land of permanent hyper-focus. Ylli loves everything about them and anything even vaguely star-shaped.

Beautiful, sweet himbo from the stars. Ylli: Yoo-lee (Albanian name meaning star) Ylli is neurodivergent and experiences selective mutism whenever he's excited, nervous, or upset. That's what he has Chael for.

Chael: Latin name meaning Heavenly messenger. Chael is an arcanotech communications AI that aids Ylli in communicating with others. Her name stands for Communications Help with Audible and Emotional Locution. It works via telepathic signals and empathy sensors attuned to Ylli's mind. Though Chael speaks for him 95% of the time, he picked a feminine voice in the settings because he finds the sound of that particular voice soothing. She sounds serene and composed in contrast to his sometimes hyper and silly energy. He also knows some sign language picked up before he got Chael.

Each of these stars was made using gimp's kaleidoscope function on the actual dragon, apparel and all. Each star is my favourite result of that dragon kaleidoscoped (and often edited down) into a star shape!
