PB: Then Rocky took us to a shy girl, Galette, who is one of two dragons here to don a gorgeous kelpie mane. 

Leya: She is, however, one of many pearlcatcher dragons in this lair, one of many triple XXX pearlies in fact. We sat down for tea and talked about her fiery lanterns, the ones that ward off darkness and shadow, and how she managed to pull her aesthetic together.

PB: She said it mostly started with the fiery lanterns, many dragons in this Clan have them. I must say, the lanterns as a base for the rest of her perfectly coordinated outfit really works. 10/10. 

Leya: I should get lanterns. Honestly, I did want to suggest wearing my flame candles to her, because they’re awesome. That’s a suggestion, not actually a review, though.

PB: She was shy and didn’t want to talk too much, though did confess to us that she loves Mellow, the sentry guard pearlcatcher that is reticent and talks to very few. If you want to talk to him, take Atoli with you, she said. Rocky confirmed this for us -

Leya: - So we went and chatted up Atoli, Rocky helping us to explain why we wanted to talk to Mellow. I mean, we didn’t say it was because we were curious to see who Galette was pining for...

Leya: This fellow, Mellow, was very grouchy with us, and very windy.

PB: His outfit is spot-on for a Wind dragon. Honestly, I didn’t think yellow was a particularly windy color, but this works really well. Unfortunately, he kind of stopped talking and started staring at the bamboo and tuning into the wind after a while, which made us think he was Done.

Leya: Atoli did say that would happen. Rocky then took us back into the main lair area, where we ran into a defender.

PB: Oh my Gods. This is a very well put together dragon. The ribbons, the kelpie mane, the leaves. Meet Luna, folks.

Leya: It’s a bit hard to imagine this beautifully dressed spiral dragon as a defender, but here we are. 

PB: One of the not-XXX or pearlcatcher dragons in the lair, with white / white / maize coloring instead. I have to recommend her clothing choices as top tier. The kelpie mane is messy, but it looks beautifully windblown on her. 

Leya: I love kelpie manes. They add just a touch of adventure and disaster to any dragon. She had to move on soon, though, with her duties. She said an interesting dragon to talk to would be Marina, another defender, so we went to find her with Rocky.

Leya: This dragon Marina’s story is very sad - imagine being abandoned! - but I’m so glad she found a home here. She wasn’t totally comfortable talking with us, until another couple dragons showed up to sit with her. 

PB: I must commend her accent choice here, it works beautifully with the ripple/current and the XXX aqua.

Leya: I like her gloomwillow guide. It’s too cute. I guess it helps her keep the night watch?

PB: That seems like it’d be useful, yes. 

PB: Anyway, we’ve chatted up quite a few folks. What do you think, Leya?

Leya: I like this clan’s aesthetic and band of misfits-type closeness. I am not sure how this many pearlcatchers live harmoniously together, but it seems they manage it. Seems triple colors are in demand here, too.

one of the first dragons that caught my eye was Aditya!

i really love the way the white POPS against her dark red coloring! i've never really used much birdskull apparel, so i was surprised by how loNG the feathers were on the headpiece!! it looks really elegant but also FIERCE and i love it. her accent choice is just SO GOOD, as well - again with the very stark contrast in colors!! and her art is lovely <3

another pc i liked was Khaki!

originally i looked at her bc her name is a bit unique~ i really love the color that the windbound plumage brings to her apparel, while still keeping the brown hints and matching with the brown birdskull apparel! i don't even like triples very much, usually, but she looks really nice~ i think the mix of genes works very well for her, tho her gene plans are lovely, too! i'm a sucker for cherub/peregrine haha.

I HAD A RLY HARD TIME CHOOSING A THIRD DRAGON. you have too many pretty dragons ;A;

in the end i went with Amiya~

i ADOREEE beige crystal, it's so so pretty. and i love how sparkly it is in all of her art!! again with the minimalistic apparel, you really choose nice apparel pieces to highlight the natural beauty of the dragon! i love how even the solar blades aren't overwhelming, even tho they're a very large apparel piece, bc there aren't many other distracting apparel pieces~ and what a cute matching familiar!

also.....

THIS IS NOT A PROPER REVIEW BUT PLS. tell me prince's backstory. why is he wearing a fedora. is he a dudebro. if so, how does that tie into his koi skin (which is GORGEOUS). pls. i need to know.
