Nightshadeling :O i LOVE all your dragons' skins and outfits! Selachi's colors and windy theming remind me of my dragon Ambrosia, and with the personality you've described, I think they would get along fantastically!
I think my favorite, looks-wise, has gotta be Pyrehaze -- that skin looks AMAZING on her!! and combined with the smoky look that Wraith lends her talons and wingtips, it is simply *chef's kiss*. Beautiful dragons all around! :D

pheelthemoment omg the shouting matches remind me so much of my cat! She loves announcing herself to the world with neverending yowls that echo down the hallway...
also, can i just say that i ADORE their official relationship status as "scream rivals" in addition to best friends? i don't think i've ever seen that phrase used before, but it conjures screeching cacophonies SO VIVID in my mind!
i also love the wide variety of artworks in both of their bios! I think my favorites are the super-realistic one of Malbraith with her scythe and the adorable 3D model of Pibb! it's so delightfully chunky,,,

GenderlessCrow OMG Wishmaker is so adorable, and with such a pretty name! Their lore really intrigues me too -- it almost makes me wonder if their pearl was actually a fallen star, with how it seems to shine and with Wishmaker's insistence of having walked through the cosmos before joining your clan. what a mysterious little godling!
also, i really like the choice of familiar for Arisen! i'm such a sucker for color-matched familiars, and i honestly couldn't think of a better choice to match those tealy tones than with a maned cerdae! plus, its little face matches the color of her flowering gladeboughs!! Auughh its so GOOD and i LOVE all the cerdae familiars its as though this dragon + familiar combo was made just for me to find it satisfying AUUGGHHGHGH (/positive)

DragonJade i LOVE that skin on Svarog; the glowing tattooed flames and copper accessories are perfect for a blacksmith! I also always appreciate when people humanize their dragons by giving them disabilities like deafness (or, in Mabuz's case, prosthetics and casings to various degrees of everyday functionality). it just makes you feel so SEEN, you know?
and the art you've done in their bios?? GORGEOUS. your artstyle is so prettyyy i want to EAT it (/positive)
also, i really appreciate your recommending dragons with pleasant lore to read, it does make me feel a bit better. Riesling's lore is especially comforting :)

Harvestable omg i LOVE her name!! I hadn't ever considered the word Cabochon as a name, but it's perfect for a dragon who runs a jewelry shop! her big, sparkly eyes definitely also remind me of the cabochon eyes on handmade plushies and dolls, which is adorable and very fitting!
also the LAYERING??? on her outfit??? SO good! I really enjoy the interweaving of the mystic sage and whimsical jester sets, it all matches so nicely with the gem of her crimson fillet and the fun magenta of her bows! and the thin, graceful lines of her skin go really nicely with the shine-lines of her opal gene :). you LOVE to see a chatty queen slaying (/positive)

Barrdwing oooh, i always enjoy a good plague-y aesthetic! Jager's apparel and skin mesh wonderfully with his colors, and I love how his hazebeacon brings a pop of light green into the mix!
also, i LOVE the story you've written in his bio, it's so full and well-detailed! I also find it really cool that his goblin familiar acts as the POV character and has a major speaking role; I don't see that done super often, and Cicatrix's very practical personality bounces off of Jager's whimsical, sing-songy nature in very entertaining ways!
i also enjoy all of the creative ways Cicatrix finds to swear by the Plaguebringer. "Lady of ragged wings, favorer of the strong" goes HARD (/positive)

OnceInABlueMoon Kaleidoscope is ADORABLE!! that skin makes their winds and claws so RAINBOWY its so CUTE AAUGHAHUGHAUH (/positive)
also, maybe i'm just uncultured, but I don't think I've ever seen a "hit every color on the colorwheel" scatter challenge before? regardless, Kaleidoscope is certainly the first of that challenge that
I've ever seen! the ultimate buttersnake is a PERFECT familiar for them, and the rainbow of their spring day scene is a wonderful touch! good luck on getting all the colors! :DD

Teg741 Inconel is amazing, his personality is delightful! He definitely strikes me as the type not to rest until he gets to the bottom of EVERY dragon's laundry list of private affairs. For being a skydancer, he's even nosier than a male ridgeback!
It makes me wonder, would he ever choose to spread negative rumors about another dragon he disliked? or would he just lowkey stalk them until he could find an actually TRUE negative thing about them to spread -- and would he get frustrated if he couldn't find anything bad enough about them to drag their name through the mud?...
also i adore his familiar and how Inconel interacts with it in his short stories. Spoggy (or DarkSpoggy?) is an INCREDIBLE name, full stop. he reminds me of the of the goldfinches i see at my birdfeeder! -- who, funnily enough, will also never stop chirping even at 2:00 in the morning, dark of night be damned. the birdfeeder is also near my bedroom, so lucky me gets to hear their neverending song all night long... though, the calls of crows and kites are all I'm hearing right now, as I write this! lots of loud birds in my area.
