Hi! Thanks for this juicy ask, and the chance to talk more about the critters in my lair as well as use doodles I've had sitting around ^^
4: which fat dragon in your lair would be most fun to hang out with?
I'd say Polly, Ranin and Ecto - all three of them are fun loving street performers (with the sisters as dancers, while Ecto provides music) with a lot of stories and funny annecdotes to tell about their travels and the places they've visited.
10: share a fat dragon you would describe as soft!
This spot I would have to give to Mizar (B), who - unlike his angrier and tougher counterpart Mizar (A) - tends to keep a quiet and non-confrontational demeanor. Though, said softness tends to come more from shyness, a deep fear of rejection and a just as profound desire to be liked, rather than anything more... certain.
So, this softness isn't nec essary a good thing for him, and it is something Mizar A pokes him a bunch about.
16: share a fat dragon with a disability!
Gummy has had rather poor sight through her life, and she made the decision to trade the last of it for "a braver heart" so as to pursue her dream of one day becoming a protector in the swampy community she lives on.
17: share a fat dragon that is LGBT+ !
Uh, this is something I have been rotating for a while, but-
Since her conception as a character of her own, Grubby has stuck to me as trans.
18: share your favorite snapper! (if you dont have one, share a friends!)
I sadly don't have lots of Snappers (something to change soon, hopefully), but if fandragons count...
Then I can offer Lugoli for this spot.
Part 2: pick a fat dragon in your lair and describe:
(Picking Grace this time around)
Upon first meeting them, one would easily consider Grace the picture of nobility - polite, corteous and gentle - while also noting a certain undercurrent of nervousness in their words and especially their actions, as if unsure of what they're doing.
And it is that, at the core, Grace is a deeply insecure dragon who might as well be walking around shards of glass - years of thinking themself the pinnacle of dragonkind as a hatchling, and picking the shards of that shattered future afterwards have them unsure of their beliefs, of their jugdments and their worth within the noble house their family comprises.
Beyond these jagged edges, however, lies a critter with a rather naive view of the world that tends to show in their "soft" self and trying to maintain a friendly, almost happy demeanor and ample curiosity often nurtured by hours upon hours of reading.
Their friend was, for most of their early life, their sister.
Little Grace was... not quite arrogant, but they had a rather inflated sense of self and importance, courtesy of their mother Temperance treating them as the ruler they were meant to be then, and that.... didn't lend itself to gaining friendships with their fellow Pearlcatchers. Friendships with other dragon breeds and even beastclan members was forbidden as well, since "the best of dragonkind should only have ties with its kind and its deity".
As they got discarded from the leader role and grew older, they managed to gain a few shallow friendships with neighbors and especially workmates - keepingtheir amiable and polite front with them and most others that approached, yet still being careful to keep some distance.
(As they set out to look for Flicker, however, they would gain a friendship in a travelling caravan of Longnecks, as pictured above.)
They... didn't really have much of a lovelife - in part, their mother didn't push them to pursue a romantic life since leaders are forbidden from picking their offspring as future heirs. At most, they had a couple outings that were cut short before they grew past the first dates: first one was severed by an altercation between Flicker and the would-be partner, after she found out her sibling was only starting this relationship so as to give their mother "someone more worthy of being a heir than ol' Grace". The second was cut by Grace themself, due to being disgusted with their actions during their first attempt.
Since then, they have avoided pursuing anything of this sort.
In general terms, they're larger and stockier in build than the average Pearlcatcher and with a wavy mane, leg tufts and tail tip (due to having an Obelisk as a father), as well as a shorter, thick neck and rather small wings for their size. Grace is still capable of flight, but it is something they find as taxing as it is terrifying, and so prefer to stay landbound.
