GREEN PHOLITH



Impressed to Calleigh
#b2ec00 - #deff0a
Personality: Kind, Welcoming, Grateful, Mischievous (not in an outgoing way)
Appearance: A poor soul indeed, perhaps one who should be pitied more so then her Blue brother who Impressed first, for at least he was spared the stampede that cost her something very dear indeed. Where a limb should be, there isn't, her front left leg seemingly gone, missing, never seen. When she hatched, it was reduced to nothing more then a mangled, flattened limb, removed by healers merely candlemarks after her own arrival into the world so it would not rot and infect her body. She hasn't known a life with it, how can she miss it? There's nothing to miss. There's nothing left of the limb, the entire bone from the leg having been removed from the socket and the Healers sealing off the open space by using hide that could be salvaged, living hide. There's a bump, and barely visible silvery lines where the leg once was. Her other limbs are well made, with a shape to them that isn't really overcast by the slimness of them. They're not long limbs, giving her a move stocky, squat appearance then perhaps another Green with the same muscle mass. But it's those slim legs that allow themselves to be tucked tight against her chest in flight, giving her a streamline appearance in the air. Her own body it rather small, with a finely boned chest, narrow hips and a long, whip like tail that's not much use for steering her in any way. It's not her body that people focus on though, it's the thing that isn't there.

In the air, she has little to no control, which is made up for by a stronger flame. Her tail offer no support in the air, no control over her direction at all, and her flight is jerky because of it. Like a humming bird, she seems to stop and start when changing directions, though the slim wings make turns a little easier, they do not help much, and she lacks the strong muscles down her back that help the tail. In truth, she is not an agile creature; fast in straight lines, yes, but not agile. She can dive easily, climb easily, but cannot do the spins and turns a Green should be able to do. In Threadfall, she's not useless, however, and is perfect for the middle wings. Her flame is strong, no matter the grade of firestone, and it lasts for almost the same amount of time as a Blue would hold it. But she could never last a full 'fall.

Pholith's hide is a stunning piece of engineering indeed. A bright, almost painful to look at Green, one with faint but visible almost yellow highlights to it. A grass green diluted by sunlight. She's not the brightest in her clutch, but the overtones that play across her hide in the sun are magnificent enough that she doesn't need the brightness of her sister. Her hide is stunning enough without it. Her wing membrane shimmers when she flies, and her legs look like silk as she walks. It's almost distracting in a way.
