Just in time for Valentine's Day AND her birthday! Still not feeling the greatest but I DO want to get some done for her!

Looking around, you see a shiny red and blue Pearlcatcher hunched over some books and scrolls. As you get closer you realize she's mumbling to herself, numbers and names of things, some things mentioned you recognize and some you don't. She leans back, giving her hunched back a break and notices you, "Oh! So sorry, was just keeping track of some things for my father's business." She gives an apologetic smile, she seems bubbly even with the tedious task she's been doing, "You must be new around here? I'm Santorini, I help run the Bamboo Barter and I help with the trading business for the clan! These are all of our numbers and notes from the last few days, I was trying to get them in order." She giggles softly to herself, "If you're ever looking for anything specific while you're here, please don't hesitate to reach out to me! I'll do what I can to find what you're looking for, our team is amazing!"

I think there could be fun short stories and lore things that come from this group of dragons! They're all some of my favorites c:[/size] @pinglist-16574

Just a hatchling, her pale green eyes glazed over and looking through everything and everyone, wandering calmly through the gate. [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/dragon/18536732]Coralia[/url] found her first, flittering down and trying to communicate with her. Hatchling Soul just kept walking and walking until her little legs brought her and Coralia to the cliffside where nothing was at the time. All she did was sit, look at the small leader, and say, "We shall expand." Soul then seemed to snap out of the trance she was in and promptly laid down to sleep. Fast forward years later, and that same exact spot is where Soul now resides. Just inside the cliff within The Spectrum's lair territory, now hollowed out to be a plaza of sorts for the residents - housing, shops, and storage. Soul will tell you she doesn't know when or how she came to The Spectrum, but she believes she was divinely guided to this place. [center][b]162 Words[/b] [size=2]I remember the day I got Soul, she was the first one I saw on the AH page, already named, and she was so striking I couldn't say no! She soon became my mysterious witchy shaman-esque dragon and I can't wait to do more cool bio and lore things with her! Trying out the windy 'clan chandeliers' thing (linked in her bio) eventually I think will be so fun![/size][/center] ----- [center][size=6][b][emoji=wind rune] Day 47 [emoji=wind rune][/b][/size] [item=weasel] [b]Connections[/b][/center] [center][url=https://www1.flightrising.com/dragon/20399563][img]https://www1.flightrising.com/rendern/350/203996/20399563_350.png[/img][/url][/center] [columns][url=https://www1.flightrising.com/dragon/19505567][img]https://www1.flightrising.com/rendern/avatars/195056/19505567.png[/img][/url] [nextcol] Flynn is one of the closest dragons to Cress, besides their father. As the Cartographer of the clan, he's very helpful with Cress's line of work, and she's so happy to still be able to bug him pretty often even though he works with dusty tomes and maps all day. They bicker and pick on each other but love each other dearly, and are quite the comedy act when they're both on top of their comebacks.

He has a list of items he needs for the clan, and she does her best to go find them in her treasure hunts. She's grateful that the grumpy Pearlcatcher gave her a position under his wing when she needed a little spice in life again, even though she may show it in a bantering way.

They struck up conversation and became quick friends, later finding out that she's from the same clan as Iroh's founding partner of the Bamboo Barter! They had similar jobs in bounty hunting, and would often hang in the Station together before going on their separate assignments. Fantasia's now retired, but the friends still visit from time to time to exchange stories while Cress shops around the Bogsneak's oddity shop!

Back then it was all about growing the clan and creating strong bonds. Their fathers had good intentions, they just didn’t see how they would NOT want to do that. And the pair went along with it for a long time. Years. Never having a nest together and just being there for each other, mutually knowing they weren’t comfortable with the romantic relationship, really was the most they could do. They put on appearances, and stayed together until they didn’t really need to. Flynn had his happily ever after and family, and Zuko stopped pushing eventually. So they mutually broke it off, remaining best friends. They never loved each other romantically, but they still care a great deal about each other. [/columns] [center][b]4/3[/b] [size=2]Cress, I think I've mentioned before, is one of my favorite dragons in my lair! She went from a dragon on exalt row with no real lore or ideas of lore, to what she is now! And she's one of the first dragons in my lair to have basically a COMPLETED bio for the most part! She has more relationships I'd love to write more about, but I'm trying to think of a good way to write those stories out and be able to either condense them down, or be able to link them in their bios, for anyone who wants the full thing. And that goes for any dragon in my lair, I don't want walls of text in their bios unless it's important. But if it's more of a side story type of thing, then maybe a forum post I can refer back to for different things? Still thinking on it..[/size] @pinglist-16574

It looks like a shop, so you follow her inside. You see the Spiral make herself comfortable between a loom and a wheel, slowly bringing the strands onto the wheel as it turns. She hums to herself softly, getting in the zone, as you peruse the silks they have for sale. She never turns to say anything to you, but you enjoy the sounds and calmness the shop brings as you look, it relaxes you in a way. You eventually leave the Spiral to her work, leaving with a new sense of relaxation you didn't know you needed.

Hyperfixation overload at times. [center][I]Also added some lore ideas for this gal that I hope to type up later![/I][/center] [center]@pinglist-16574

So I was very excited to give her a new healer glam! I think it turned out pretty interesting, but funky, but balanced!

He has a big heart and will go above and beyond to protect the clan. The Spectrum recognizes his bravery. - Can get cocky at times, as he's always been the 'pretty boy' of his generation, but it's gotten better through the years. - [I]Very[/I] protective of his daughters, to the point of it being too much sometimes.
