#chantrieri

I do! I've had a lot of brief ideas for various ocs, but here are the two i've put the most time/thought toward :)

(bottom art is a little older, but shows the design a little better)

Evergreen is a NightWing/RainWing hybrid who inherited a small amount of leafspeak while also hatching beneath a full moon. This manifested in a power that allows them to see the "memories" of any plant they touch; their favorite thing is to rest on trees and feel all the seasons that they've lived through. I don't have a super in-depth personality or life story for this one, they're more of a conceptual character.

I also have Chantrieri! (In the first image, she's the guard - the dragon on the hammock is Queen Ulysses. Again, second design is a little old now.)

Chantrieri was born in a small village some thousand years before the events of the main books. She was forced to abandon it after a raid (caused by inter-tribe conflict) and lived on her own in the dense rainforest for several years. She discovered the tacca chantrieri flower (the flower that inspired her entire character, you should look it up, its cool) and named it after herself, taking on its appearance. Chantrieri, born with a disability that didn't allow her to use RainWing venom, harnessed the natural toxins in the flowers to create the first ever blowdarts. Eventually, when she returned to the kingdom, bringing with her her invention, she was immediately lifted in rank to work with the queen as a weapons expert. During this time, she also became close with the queen's daughter, Ulysses, who was becoming more and more desperate to be queen herself. Chantrieri, very illegally, helped her make and hide the secret weapons that gave her an upper hand in the battle, and Ulysses became the next queen with Chantrieri by her side. Not exactly morally upstanding characters, but I do like them and it'd be cool to dive deeper into their relationship and motivations someday.
