BIO

A smol, sweet lynx with a big heart and way too many interests. A bit awkward at first, when you get on her good side though, she's incredibly lively, exciteable and kind. Quite an introvert, she spends a lot of time surrounded by nature, often on her own, but she appreciates both good company and cozy interiors as  well. Her favourite holiday is Halloween, she loves costuming and creating  costumes herself! She cosplays frequently and man of her normal clothes are made by her as well. She's incredibly crafty in general. Her other hobbies include all sorts of art, yoga, gaming, dinosaurs and parkour. She enjoys trying out new things, although sometimes she needs a little nudge to push some of her boundaries.

She has a skin condition known as vitiligo - over time, patches of her skin and fur lose the ability to produce pigment, creating unique, constantly changing markings. It makes her a bit more sensitive to sunlight, but she doesn't mind and she loves the unique patterns it creates!

Shapeshifting
She can use magic for shapeshifting. She's always had the ability to change into a dragon, but over time started learning new forms. Currently she worked out a stable way to shift into a lioness as well. Next one she wants to tackle will be a dinosaur!
Her dragon form is somewhat unique to the others. In it, she is considerably larger, only feral and cannot speak. This form influences her perception and the way she feels emotions - namely, she feels them in a much stronger, more colorful way and expresses them more vividly! She LOVES flying and makes quite a show out of it. Instead of the classic fire breathing, she can control electricity, which most often takes the shape of bright blue sparks and currents. Her long, thin tail is very elastic and can be very effectively used like a whip in fights.

SETTING

As a sona, she has no particular setting, I use her image and modify her depending on my inspiration.
Her dragon form is also used as Skye's dragon form.

TRIVIA

-Her dragon form has many design inspirations drawn from various dinosaurs. The sails on her back are inspired by Amargasaurus and the sickle claws on her hind legs are a callback to Raptors.
-She collects plushies and enamel pins; as well as anything dinosaurs!
-She often cosplays her favourite fictional characters and crafts the outfits and props herself!
