Clydri is a laid-back dragon. He prefers to spend his time preening and grooming himself rather than get his claws dirty in the coliseum or nest grounds, yuck! Just imagine what it would do to his beautiful manicure and wings!
Clydri prefers to fight with words, not attacks. He hates to fight anyone, but if you offend him, he has a sharp wit and an even sharper tongue. He'll put you in your place fast!
Clydri never goes out unless he looks perfect! His apparel must be perfectly straight-even if he isn't-and pressed. He loves all things shiny-why wouldn't he? He's fabulous, so he has to have accessories to match that! Duh!
Clydri is pretty close with all the dragons in his clan. He gets along with everyone well because he has a very agreeable personality. The only time he has an issue is when someone insults him or his clan. After all, he wouldn't stick around if they weren't as amazing as he was!

Trussey glared at the two Coatls that were flirting with Ulipse, who simply stared
at them, emotionless. He seemed bored with the two, even glancing around as if to get away from them. Trussey didn’t notice when Ulipse’s eyes drifted to him. Instead, he continued to pout-huffing and crossing his arms. He turned away from his friend and the two others, feeling grumpy and bitter. He shouldn’t be jealous...Anshine and Compale were part of the clan, same as him. They should be able to interact with Ulipse without him getting angry….but it wasn’t fair! Why did
they get to be so close to Ulipse when
he was supposed to be the dark Coatls best friend? Trussey ticked as he heard the two laying on the compliments. He couldn’t take it any longer. He stood and stormed off, eyes narrowed. (In all reality, only Anshine was flirting. Compale was simply attempting to talk with the other two, but Trussey’s jealousy blinded him)
”I doubt anyone even noticed I left….not even Ulipse. He’s too focused on those
two stupid flirts to pay any attention to me...I hate it hate it hate it!” Trussey
lived off of attention, especially when it came from his best friend. Anshine and Compale taking some of that attention made him dislike them even more.
Trussey took a deep breath, trying to relax his shoulders. He stared up at the
night sky, which reminded him of Ulipse. A soft, sad smile spread across his face.
I should be happy for him...If Ulipse decides to become mates with Anshine or Compale, and they make him happy, I should support him. He’s just my best friend, after all… Tear pricked his eyes and he shook his head with a sigh.
If there was a stage, I could play out a very convincing heartbroken lover...because I am heartbroken…. He let out a bitter laugh.
”I’m being ridiculous,” he mumbled to himself. “I need to get it together! I
should just be glad that he’s my friend…after all, no one else in this stupid clan is worth my time” Trussey sighed sadly. A crunch of leaves made him whirl around. Ulipse was walking toward him with an easy smile. Trussey quickly blinked the tears from his eyes and gave his friend a smile, feeling himself relax.
”Hey, what are you doing out here, Trussey?” Ulipse asked with a laugh. Trussey
shrugged.
”I’m just thinking over some things. What’re you doing here?” Ulipse gave him
a laugh and big grin.
”I was looking for you, you dork. Why’d you storm off? Did you decide to come
out here to finally cut down some trees and do carpentry?” he teased. He goes serious. “Seriously, what’s going on with you? You seem so distant lately…” He seemed concerned, his eyes surveying his friend. Trussey glared hard at him.
Don’t even joke about that. You know how I feel about carpentry,” he spat. He
hated carpentry. His family wanted him to go into it, just like they did. When he told them he wanted to act-and that he had a romantic interest in males, as well-they called him a disgrace. They mocked him and told him he would never make it in the world as an actor. It had caused a rough falling-out between him and his family. He hasn’t talked to them since he left. Because of them, he didn’t care about any dragon other than his best friend. Ulipse sighed and held up his hands.
”I know, I was messing around. What’s going on? You can tell me anything.”
He smiled kindly and set a hand on Trussey’s shoulder. (The darker Coatl was always so kind to him, and only him. Trussey didn’t seem to realize this, of course.) The golden coatl sighed. He glanced up at his best friend’s kind, handsome features and his heart squeezed in his chest. He couldn’t tell Ulipse. He didn’t want to ruin their friendship. He forced a laugh.
”I’m just feeling a little lonely, I guess.” He sighed, hating that he had to lie.
Ulipse laughed and wrapped a wing and his arm around his friend’s shoulders.
”Why didn’t you tell me? I’ll help you find someone! Count on me! I have so
many dragons to introduce you to! They always want to talk to me, and I would prefer if they leave me alone. Anyway, we should find you a match! Come on!” Ulipse led his friend away, talking his ear off about the different dragons that he could pair Trussey up with. Trussey sighed.
[indent}”You know how I feel about the clan,” he mumbled. Ulipse didn’t seem to [/indent] notice, too excited to get rid of the dragons that always hung around him. Trussey groaned, catching Ulipse’s attention. He glanced at his friend.
”Hey, what’s up? You still seem upset...Don’t lie to me, ok?” He frowned,
turning to look at Trussey. He stopped them both and stared hard at the golden Coatl hard. Trussey sighed.
”You know how I feel about the clan...I don’t...get along...with most everyone.
You're the only one who I can stand. And you’ve just...you’ve been so distant lately. You’re always hanging out with other dragons-Anshine and Compale especially. You’ve been ignoring me.” He frowned, bitter. Ulipse was stunned.
”Do you really think that?” he wondered, upset. Trussey nodded, which caused
Ulipse to sigh. “Trussey...I’m sorry if I gave you that impression. I have other friends I hang out with, of course, but...I’ll try to remember that you don’t and spend more time with you, ok?” Trussey nodded, happy with that option. Ulipse walked to him and gently wrapped his arms and wings around Trussey in an awkward, stiff hug. The golden coatl snorts and hugs back, a small smile on his face.
”Thanks, Ulipse…” He mumbled. Maybe he had a chance with his best friend
after all.

I write both types of lore shown, but the length leans more toward that of Trussey's piece.
