This is hummingbird, my new Fruitwing oc!! (She’s actually a recycled oc but eh-)
She is trans-female, which you can see in her coloring, and is a somewhat strange dragon. She’s thinner than most Fruitwings and her tail is particularly skinny and longer than normal. To most other Fruitwings she looks sickly at first sight. Her name itself is also quite strange, “hummingbird”, it doesn’t go by most fruitwing naming conventions, and many she meets have trouble remembering her name, some more traditional dragons refuse to call her that at all. Though some dragons have trouble first meeting her, it doesn’t stop her from forming good connections with her tribe, and she is actually considered quite beautiful to other fruitwings.
Her scales and horns are her pride and joy. She cleans the twice a day-daily and avoids damaging them as much as possible to keep them from fogging or dimming. Her scales have a beautiful shine to them, almost opal like in appearance. Colors shift across her body depending on what angle you look at her from. Her horns are almost like ivory, gleaming like pearls. She cleans and oils her beak regularly and she never eats messily.
Almost contradictory to that, she works at her villages only daycare, doing arts and crafts with the dragonets there. She is immensely patient with them and wants to have her own dragonets one day. But she struggles with her perfectionism, and can get quite firm with them is they mess up any materials, leader forbid her scales. As desperately as she wants a mate and dragonets, she doesn’t think she’s ready for it. For now, the daycare is enough for her.
I hope you guys like her!! I had an absolute blast experimenting with a more painterly style for her!! And her colors were so fun to mess around with ^^
She’s actually a lot more colorful in her full-body, but I haven’t had a chance to get to that yet ^^* I hope to tho
I hope you guys like this, @Insert-name for the species inspiration, and I’d love to see any of y’all’s ideas for the tribe, or possibly ocs?? 👀 but anyway, love yall, hope you have a great rest of your- er- year, week, day, night? whatever
See yall hopefully soon! ^^ 🫶
