"Love Potion" Imperials take ingredients that they find around Sornieth to come up with a blend of love potion that has powerful magical abilities. They store their potion in their capsule bellies, and use it much like venom to influence other creatures. While large doses can indeed cause the target to develop romantic feelings, it is rare for a Love Potion Imperial to use quantities large enough to inspire true love. Instead, small doses are used to influence others in their favor, or calm tensions in case of conflict. Mates will often share each others' potion as an exercise in bonding. Love Potion Imperials usually choose their mates for life, but may have more than one permanent mate, with trios of bonded dragons being common. In the event that a dragon dies, their surviving mate or mates will almost always change their potion recipe. Some dragons use their potion as a weapon in battle, causing their enemies to fall hopelessly in love and stop fighting altogether. The Love Potion dragon then deserts their now infatuated enemy to mourn their broken heart. Luckily, the potion has a half-life of no more than 12 hours. While no two dragons use the exact same recipe, some ingredients are popular choices. Flowers and fruits for their sweet aroma and flavours, as well as medicinal ingredients and even minerals are all popular choices. Young dragons sometimes attempt to add meat to theirs, but soon learn it is a poor choice as it tends to spoil. A small number of talented dragons have managed to successfully add components of animals to their potions, but this is quite rare. Love Potion Imperials can be easily identified, as they are proud creatures who each think their potion recipe is the best, and enjoy showing off their ingredients to anyone who lingers around long enough. Some dragons have attempted to hold potion contests to test whose is the most potent, but the judges typically become too infatuated with the contestants to ever come to a decision. The lore written above was collaboration between Xylona and Kittymari.

When you have power, you must use it responsibly. That's what she was always told. She had a beautiful, powerful gift. It had the potential to bring much joy and happiness, but also much pain.
Guard it carefully they told her. Craft it, carry it, and use it only when you're really sure. She devoted her young life to her craft. She traveled out from her home, staying in within the Gladekeeper's realm. She gathered ingredients, testing and trying them, storing away her unique brew, but never using the end result. When anyone asked, she would proudly recite the list of her ingredients.

She saw how others used their potion. A little here and there to ease interactions. Giving their brews out for treasure, ingredients, and other goods. She didn't begrudge them this, but it didn't feel right. It wasn't right for her.
She knew the risks. Others told her that the potion had a short half life, wearing out in a matter of days at worst. Soon, the dragon would have none left in their system. Despite that, she couldn't shake the feeling there were long last effects. They say to have loved and lost is better than to have never loved at all, but what if that love was manufactured? There one moment in all its passion, then gone the next. Too much and it could crush a dragon from the inside out. She could imagine it all so clearly.
She did her best to keep her brew to herself. The best idea was for her to save it, use it only once she had found a mate. Some dragon who loved her unaided, who she loved and could trust in their love.
Someday she would find someone whom she could use it with, but not yet.

She has a little admirer who wants her to feel completely embraced

But she's caught the eye of an ambitious dragon who wants her to be confident in her power
