Firefly

Firefly is a 17-year-old Night-HiveWing dragon who is a former member of Pod Chrysanthemum and a current defacto member of Pod Wildflower. He is known for his abilities as an animus and for his jovial nature.

History
Firefly was hatched in Bloodworm Hive and taken by his father Steelclaws at a very young age over to Pyrrhia, where he trained under his grandfather to learn how to effectively read minds. His mother supposedly died from injuries sustained from passing his egg. He returned to Pantala in the wake of The Burning and got caught up with Foxglove and Kukui, an outlaw couple who desired his strength and magic. He worked under Pod Chrysanthemum since its inception, and on the side offered to hatchsit the leaders' daughter Wisteria. Firefly grew rather fond of her, and treated her like the little sister he never had. When Wisteria finally bit the bullet and stood up to her parents (shortly after she joined Pod Wildflower) Firefly supported her actions. Unfortunately, that defiance got him in deep trouble with Foxglove, and he was sent off-Greens on more and more "reconnaissance missions" until he was eventually cut off from Pod Chrysanthemum. With no Pod to call his own, Firefly paid Wildflower a visit and eventually became one of them, though it doesn't say that anywhere in writing. He's loyal to the dragons of Pod Wildflower even more than he was to Chrysanthemum, and he would fight to protect each and every one of them, no contest.

Physical appearance
Firefly is a big dude, looks older than he is. He's mostly dark gray, with a line of golden plates along his side and bright neon-green scales with the plates. Firefly has a patch of red scales on his face and the typical HiveWing facial horns, as well as a neon-green tearscale to denote his mindreading abilities. Firefly has two pairs of wings that look comically small, but still lift him as other wings would. His NightWing starscales are white against his neon-green wing membranes. Firefly doesn't have any stingers, but does breathe green fire.

Personality
Firefly is large because his body is full of love for his friends. There is little that can keep this dragon mad, except for one major thing: the misuse and abuse of animus magic. Firefly prides himself on using his magic to "Do Good Recklessly" and is enraged that any animus dragon would use their magic any other way, especially to hurt others. That's the kind of stuff that really pisses him off.

Present-Day Status
Firefly is doing well! He hangs around with Sunset, Snowshoe, Magnolia, and all their kids. Though he's fine with his current situation, he has one major dream in his head: Firefly wants to start an animus school. He knows for a fact that if kids with magic are put onto a good path early in life, it can keep them from misusing their powers later on. Firefly dreams of teaching a whole generation of animus children to "Do Good Recklessly."
