Periwinkle's least-loved creation, Homunculus--a stitched-together construct animated by residual Shade energy from the fallen meteorite--was abandoned by their creator not long after attaining sentience. The tiny draconoid was originally made to supplement Seaglass's servitude, meant to be agile and flexible where Seaglass was hulking and clumsy. Periwinkle's mistake was in assuming that any creature made of harnessed Shade would be one to follow orders.
Any instruction from the Archipelago's resident witch was met with a blank stare and, if she was lucky, an attentive twitch of the ears to indicate that her words had been heard. But one can hear without listening, and Homunculus gave no indication of heeding her instruction.

They did not appear to be spiteful in their disobedience, though of course reading emotion--if it does exist--is difficult on a being without a fully-articulated face. But Homunculus would stay eerily still when told to fetch something, would wander dreamily when told to stay in one place, and on one occasion, responded to a request to follow in Seaglass's footsteps by weaving their way under the construct's feet and tripping them. Eventually, Periwinkle gave up on the thing and tossed Homunculus aside.

This dragon is a farmer! I kiiiiiind of want to name her Demeter except I already have a dragon named Persephone and the two are unrelated, so. Let's not get confusing.
Instead, I'm going to name her Lammastide. Lammastide is an ancient holiday from the British Isles meant to celebrate the time of the grain harvest, so... fitting. I also think it sounds neat.

Don't let the appearance fool you--Chillane is an icy boi. His first magical ability is already detailed in his lore--his body temperature is significantly lower than his peers. He has to wear a specially-made exoskeleton to keep himself at a normal temperature and keep himself from freezing to death. Not much of an ability!
I'll be nicer with his second one. Maybe he needs less food and/or water in order to survive? My rationale for making this an ice ability is that it's akin to animals putting themself into hibernation. I don't know. Actually, let's cut out the middle man here and just say he can go into hibernation on cue. Handy for skipping past difficult times.

Homunculus's fate would have remained unknown had they not been found and taken in by Shayne, out scavenging for craft supplies. Shayne was ignorant of Periwinkle's experiments or her new discovery's origins: all she knew was that she had just been lucky enough to find the perfect display mannequin for her works of art.

Periwinkle's least-loved creation, Homunculus--a stitched-together construct animated by residual Shade energy from the fallen meteorite--was abandoned by its creator not long after attaining sentience. The tiny draconid was originally made to supplement Seaglass's servitude, intended to be agile and flexible where Seaglass was hulking and clumsy. In that much, at least, the experiment was a success. Periwinkle's mistake was in assuming that any being made of harnessed Shade would be one to follow orders.
Any instruction from the Archipelago's resident witch was met with a blank stare and, if she was lucky, an attentive twitch of the ears to indicate that her words had been heard. But one can hear without listening, and Homunculus gave no indication of heeding her instruction.

But Homunculus would stay eerily still when told to fetch something, would wander dreamily when told to stay in one place, and on one occasion, responded to a request to follow in Seaglass's footsteps by weaving its way under its sibling construct's feet and tripping them. Eventually, Periwinkle gave up on the thing entirely and tossed Homunculus aside.
Homunculus's fate would have remained unknown had it not been found and taken in by Shayne, out scavenging for craft supplies. Shayne was ignorant of Periwinkle's experiments or her new discovery's origins: all she knew was that she had just been lucky enough to find the perfect display mannequin for her works of art. And if it moved around sometimes when she wasn't looking or rearranged her bundles of scrap fabric in the night... well, that wasn't [i]too[/i] much bother. If anything, the midnight material relocations only gave her more inspiration for different fabric combinations to try! The mannequin was strange, yes, but so was everything else on the Gienah Archipelago; why lose sleep over it?
As for Homunculus, it's hard to say whether it is truly happy in this arrangement--or whether it can feel happiness at all, for that matter. But the fact remains that it has not left Shayne's tiny dwelling, and that it has not tripped her even once.
