Pasha is a gracefully built dragon, designed for the element of maneuverability and agility. Life between the trees of jungles is her main center point, with her build aiming to aid in the ability to weave through the lush vegetation of these areas. Her build is one of a medium stature, having a height of around fifteen feet in total. The spread of this measure is incredibly disproportionate, with thirteen feet marking the height of her shoulder and only two feet going to her neck. The same cannot be said for her body length, with wracks up to around a little over twenty three feet in total. Though not split down the middle, the difference between the divisions is not as great. Nine feet marks the full extension of her body while fourteen feet closes out her tail. A certainly noticeable difference, but not as stark to that of her shoulder and neck.
The dame’s body can only be described as lean and agile. She is perfectly designed for performing tricky maneuvers with power behind each and every one of them. Her muscles are decently spread out across her build, never covering one area more than another. Her chest is broadish in formation, curving outwards in response to the present flight muscles, before coming back in to form her thin midsection. The legs extending from this area are long comparatively to her body, making up the majority of her shoulder height whereas other dragons would have somewhat equal length between legs and body. The paws that follow are a mix of those of a common, jungle-dwelling reptile and a kinkajou. This forms the perfect mixture needed to cling onto tree limbs with ease. Her claws are quite short and curved, but ever sharp. Though not a deadly weapon, they can still cause a good scratch if need be. Her neck can be seen creating a sharp incline following her shoulders, and is rather slim despite being so stout. It almost looks brittle in the eyes of some, but quite the opposite. Her long tail is also slender in appearance, but carries a great amount of strength. It is commonly used to make sharp turns both in ground and in flight, and is slightly prehensile. Though, not to the degree of capuchin monkeys or kinkajous. At its tip is a fan of feathers, considered to be a bit of an oddity. It starts out as any feather-fan would, beginning smaller in size prior to reaching the top and steadily growing out in length – ranging from four inchest at the start to nearly a foot and six inches at the second largest. The final feathers are where things take a turn. Instead of the single “largest” feather that many fans have, this tail tip is split between two feathers which are exceptionally long compared to the feathers before it. These two feathers measure up to over three feet in length, and are much slimmer than the previous feathers. At their ends, the follicles narrow out before curving out to form a more oval-like shape at the tips. Like the formation commonly seen on many two-tailed butterflies or moths. None of these feathers lay in line with her tail, and prefer to curve upwards without sticking straight up. The two at the tip have the tendency to droop despite this. Her body is a general mix of scales and fur, with the two seeming to divide out her upper and lower portions. Her fur is what dominates the upper region as well as the entirety of her tail (besides the obvious fan), being slick in appearance and texture – known to barely catch on anything. It is not something one would seek out if in need of rest, but it does carry an odd warmth that can be comforting in times. Her lower portions – specifically her underbelly and legs – are where the scales come in, with them taking after those of a serpent with their plated structure. Her claws even seem to be made of these scales, but are noticeably tougher than the rest. Along the boundaries of these two sections, her fur tends to poke and probe into the scales’ turf – arching in then back out. These arches are either rounded or sharp, depending on where one looks.
The graceful dragon’s head is a bit contrary to the rest of her body. It is blocky in structure rather than the streamline shape that one would come to expect. Though, it is narrow all the same, but not to the extent of looking awkward. There is a noticeable dip between her head and snout, as though it were two bricks stacked on top of one another. Her head and snout are coated entirely in fur. A large number of horns dawn her head, creating two different sections of them roughly in the same area. The first of these seem to encircle her head, creating a sort of crown or headband like formation. Fourteen in total (or around that many) line the edges of her head – being placed just before its end and starting underneath the back of her jaw. Their structure is almost akin to the early feathers of her tail fan, but are, of course, much more durable. They are small and thick, reaching no more than seven inches if not less when coming upon the largest ones. The smallest horn, the one underneath her jaw, is only four inches. The horns swiftly increase in size from there. Sat almost underneath this “crown” at the back of her skull, two “normal” horns protrude backwards. Their foundations are hidden by the smaller horns if one looks from the front, but it is possible to see them from the back. These horns reach a length of no more than a foot and a half, and have the same two-tailed aspect that her longest tail-feathers do. No nose horn is present. Her eyes are not really like any known creature, essentially being their own thing. They are rounded in shape, and are very expressive. The only connection one can draw from them to another creature is her cat-like pupils which expand and contract like theirs would. Her tongue is unlike any seen on a dragon thus far. It is incredibly long, similar to that of a hummingbird or kinkajou. Or even akin to a butterfly’s proboscis. Its purpose is to allow her to drink the nectar of large flowers with ease. This tongue is also quite durable due to the structuring of her teeth. Said teeth are close in structure to those of a fruit bat. Canines reside in the front of the mouth, designed for both fruit consumption and defensive purposes. The top two big ones are slightly larger than the bottom ones, and contain holes right above their points – almost like that of a spitting cobra. These holes are specifically utilized for one of her abilities. In the back are the standard molars, made for grinding up the fruit she eats.
Two wings sprout from the shoulders of the fiery dame, spanning 33 feet in total. They are thought to be quite the spectacle for many onlookers, leaving a good number of questions lingering within their mind. Both sides of the upper half of her wings are coated in a lair of feathers, akin to those of a standard bird. As baffling as this may be considering her element, these feathers – as well as those on her tail – have been proven to be completely fireproof. This is due in large part to the glands located underneath her wings, similar to the preen gland found in ducks. These glands secrete a fireproof oil that is then spread to the feathers via preening. This has led to the female often being caught in the act of grooming her feathers quite consistently. While some are bound to believe that it is just her trying to keep up a more “pristine” image, it is just her way of ensuring she keeps her feather. Though, it is still a tad excessive at times. But it should be noted that these feathers do carry some fire resistant qualities, they are just not enough to completely withstand her flames. The lower portion of her wings, on the other hand, is completely devoid of all feathers. One would honestly think that they were all burnt off, if not for the oil her body secretes. Neither does it take the usual bat-like appearance that other dragons possess. Rather, it appears to be made completely rubber-like membrane – smooth and lacking in any observable wing fingers. It is hot to the touch with enough heat to make even some of the more heat resistant beings jerk back from the tinge of pain they will experience. This heat is caused by the other mystifying aspect of these appendages. This membrane is composed completely of solid fire. No one is quite sure how exactly this works, but they have learned not to question it over the years with how unconventional she can get. The general structure of this section takes after the same old two-tailed butterfly appearance, with each point (where a wing finger should have been) ending in an oval-like point at the very tip. When flying, flames commonly flicker off her “membrane,” marking her path with a glimmering yet dangerous spectacle for all to see.
Pasha’s colorations are nothing short of stunning, fit for a dragon who lives among the flowers of tropical forest. Her base color is that of a dark magenta, which can occasionally be seen in the species she is named after. Her horns and feathers are of a lighter and slightly desaturated version of this magenta. The tips of her tail feathers and some of her horns carry a pink hue to them, like that of a pink Valentine heart. The feathers along her wings appear brighter in coloration than the color before it, but that is only caused by the soft glow of the lower portion. A reddish pink surrounds her snout and eyes, creating a sort of mask across her face. The mask contains a lot of twists and curves across its surface, but manages to remain symmetrical between the two sides. A stripe of this same pink runs down the center of her face towards the wall of horns at the back of her head. It does not resume behind them. However, two separate lines of this reddish pink do sprout up along the sides of her neck and continue down her body. These lines start just behind those stout horns of hers, being an oval-like shape initially before narrowing slightly out as it extends. This line remains mostly centered throughout its entire trip. Upon reaching her tail, this line alters from its original course – curving up along her spine in order to connect to the line on the other side. The area in which the two meet forms the constantly-occurring two-tailed butterfly shape that she seems to have everywhere on her form. The upper part of her lower wings are, oddly enough, of a pure yellow color – similar to that of the sun’s. With the aforementioned warm glow, of course. The bottom, however, (including the ovals at the tips of each “division”) fades into a pink lemonade hue. The color of her wings diminish and face to a dull gray upon the usage of a certain one of her abilities. The underbelly, legs, and claws of this dragoness are all a pale yellow – just a hair lighter than the yellow of her wings. The iris of her eyes takes on that same Valentines-heart pink found on her horns, breathtaking in its own right and usually holding an odd sense of warmth. Though, this can just as easily switch to a burning glare that few can meet the gaze of. The whites of her eyes appear to carry the slightest tint of pink, oddly enough. It is difficult to spy upon first glance, and is only really heightened when her eyes are close to the viewer.
The magenta dragon’s calls are nothing really out of the ordinary, consisting of most of the standard “types” that dragons have. A warm sound, consisting of various tropical bird calls with the undertone of a large campfire is the first of these roars. It is broadcast, designed to convey her neutrality for the most part as well as announce her presence to those in the area. As such, this roar can be heard from a few hundred feet away, but will be hard to pick out from the natural ambiance if too far away. The bird calls contained within this call are never consistent, switching in between various different ones that she has heard as though she were a lyrebird. A friendly roar is another one of her sounds. The tender crackling of a warm campfire is heard whenever this call is emitted – soft and comforting in its own right. The chirps of a Brazilian ruby hummingbird can be heard within the gentle crackling of the campfire, if not a tad deeper and slower than the actual bird. Her aggressive call (otherwise known are threaten) is utilized whenever the need to tell anyone to back off arises. It is simple, compared to her other calls, being only the angry snapping of a raging wildfire with the crashing sound of falling trees weaved between the sounds of encroaching fire. The tinge of a bear’s roar is also present underneath this all. The danger call of this dragon, used to warn others of approaching peril, is quite jarring compared to the others she can release. It is the warning call of a kinkajou entwined with burning wood that forms an oddly high pitched call, easily leaving one’s ears ringing after their encounter with it. However, she is lacking in one call, as was hinted at before. Well, as far as anybody knows, anyway. No victory call (one used to announce one’s triumph over another) seems to be present within the female. Or, if there is one, she is unwilling to use it. Not surprising, seeing as she believes such celebration to be distasteful. She needs no pat on the back for any accomplishment. It is nothing but a waste of one’s time.
Like the rest of her at this point, Pasha’s voice is considered to be a slight oddity. It is an unexpected sound, contrasting her initially cold and “downlow” outward demeanor quite harshly. For starters, it is very out there. It is powerful, holding authority and demanding respect with every honey coated word of hers. And yet, it grants both at the same time, as though expecting all those around her to have already granted what she seeks. Its pitch is more on the medium side, leaning to the lower portion but not quite there. Her tone is typically serious in nature, very rarely changing from its more stoic approach to wording. However, it can grow rather soft to those she deems worthy of hearing it. A more playful tone is saved specifically for those that she adores, or those that need to be cheered up.

“Oh please,” she rolls her eyes before centering them back on you, “I really couldn’t care less.”
Abilities:
Spiriling Flames
When it comes to abilities, Pasha is the definition of unconventional. Her powers, however minor, are completely out of the ordinary and always unique. Spirling Flames is but one testament to this. This skill allows the dragoness to summon flaming tornadoes at will. These tornadoes act exactly like the real mass of swirling clouds, with high winds capable of picking up humans and lightweight dragons to boot. So long as they get too close that is. In order for these forces of nature to take shape, she must begin by simply hovering in the air. Steadily, she will extend her wings back as far as possible, before thrusting them forwards harshly. By the time they stop, the wings are nearly touching one another. The solid fire of her wings then releases an immense amount of itself, forming the large and fiery twister that the more unfortunate souls come to encounter. These flames are not as potent as some of her other ones, but its ability to rapidly hit the enemy over and over leads to some rather severe burns. After the tornado is created, the brightness and general color is drained from her wings. This is due to the loss of flame they have experienced. She can form multiple of these scolding spirals in a day, but the usage is still heavily limited. Usually to around four (including those after a possible recharge). Once her wings run out of their color and heat, she will be unable to form any more.
Burning Gales
Often considered to be a secondary version of the above ability, Burning Gales is yet another one-of-a-kind power that this butterfly of a dragon possesses. This skill stems from her ability to create spirals of flames, much like the aforementioned tornadoes she can create. By amplifying the natural flames that spark off her wings as she flies, rather than using the fire within her wings itself, the fire-riddled dragon can in fact form a vortex around her being. So long as she is moving in the air, and rapidly spinning with her wings tucked in while doing so. This vortex does not directly touch her when formed (not that it would hurt if it did), but simply casts itself out in a sideways, hurricane-like appearance from her body. Flames often whip off during this time, and can nick something or someone if close enough. Though, it should be noted that this attack lacks the high winds of her tornadoes. These flames move as she moves, turning this into a more defensive ability that can be used in an offensive manner. To discontinue the vortex, all she must do is spread her wings. The resulting flames will then break formation and slowly dissipate. It should be noted that this is one of the few abilities that has effectively no shot limit. So long as there is still fire in her wings (causing flames to wisp off it), she can use this ability. Said fire is also unable to be drained from this power’s usage. However, this cannot be created if she is completely still. She must be in motion at decently high velocities before and after she begins to spin.
Heat Absorption
The only commonplace abilities this dame possesses. Heat absorption is, for the most part, a passive ability with essentially no on or off switch. It just runs its course whenever she requires its presence. The capability to absorb heat acts as a sort of recharge, replenishing whatever flames she may have expanded recently by taking it from the surrounding area – cooling it. The hotter the area, the faster the recharge. Though, it takes no less than an hour or two to do so. If not more, if an exuberant amount of flames was used. This ability has been noted to turn some of the hottest fires cold without extinguishing the flames. It is still not recommended that one touches the fire, however, as it will be so cold it burns.
Dripping Flames
Dripping Flames is the closest thing this dragoness has to a breath attack without actually being one. This ability stems from her two upper fangs, which are used to secrete liquid fire – the fire coming from the holes located just above the fangs’ tips. However, this ability is not as simple as it appears. Rather, it has two different variants. Sweetened healing and smelting gold.
Sweetened Healing
Sweetened healing is the more peculiar liquid fire of the two she possesses. This flame goes directly against what most would consider possible for fire based abilities – having the capability to heal instead of harm. It is a slow moving liquid, which drips from her fangs like tree sap or honey from a bee hive. This makes it rather easy to collect in a cup or bowl. Its coloration is like that of nectar, except slightly brighter and not as clear. In order for the fire’s healing properties to take effect, one must consume the liquid. Mixing it with anything will diminish its effects. This nectar-like flame tastes just like, well, nectar – carrying a subtle sweet taste with the warmth of freshly brewed tea or hot chocolate. Once ingested, the injuries of the being that consumed it will either speed up in its healing process (as is the case for major ones) or completely healed (for the smaller scrapes and bumps one may receive). It is unknown whether this can work on any sort of illness. This healing flame does have limited usage, taking from the female’s own nectar preserves – which just so happens to be her main source of nourishment. Meaning, that this ability must be used sparingly. She will often feel quite peckish after expending some of these flames. The healing capabilities of this flame have no effect on the dragon herself.
Smelting Gold
The second of the two liquids, Smelting Gold, is the stark opposite of her sweetened flames. This fire is a full on attack, with the flames being shot out from her fangs at high speeds rather than slowly dripped. Upon contact, they will cause severe burns and – if the victim is incredibly unlucky – permanent blindness if it gets caught in their eye. It has also been noted to burn through the wing membranes of most dragons with much ease. In high quantities, this is a death sentence. Though not a constant ability, it is incredibly difficult to run her out of these flames with them constantly regenerating over time. However, their range is very short, so she must be in close quarters to her opponent for this to connect.
Shaping Flames
The final of Pasha’s abilities. Shaping Flames is arguably her most unique ability, with it pulling in certain elements that few would expect. This power grants her the facility to turn present flames (not her own) into solid objects. These objects always take the shapes of insects, such as fireflies, moths, and butterflies. These fiery critters are absolutely stunning to the naked eye – appearing to be made of pure gold, with sparkles off them once as they move. However, be wary of staring for too long, for their beauty is a trap. They draw in those entranced by their beauty, like a moth to a flame. Those ensnared in their web of lies will slowly walk forward without even acknowledging their actions. Their only thought being: “I must touch the flame.” Upon contact, these false creatures will form a mini burst of flames – causing third degree burns to any unwise enough to fall for their trap – and then slowly dissipate into something akin to pixie bust. Though, the dragoness can touch these creations without the fear of having this happen, for they stay intact if interacted with by her.
Strengths:
+ Hot Environments: A simple strength. Hotter environment leads to fast flame regeneration.
+ Humid Environments: Not a strength most would expect from a fire class dragon, but one nonetheless. Humid areas tend to contain the dame’s main food source – nectar and fruits – and prevent her from accidentally setting fire to anything while flying. So it is a win-win for her.
+ Agile: A general strength. Pasha is quite agile in both land and sky. Once she enters a densely wooded area, it is unlikely that most would be able to keep up.
+ Alluring Flames: The fire of her shaping ability are thought to carry an odd enchantment to them, turning any who stare too intently into a simple moth attracted to a dazzling flame. Unless she stops them, those who touch her alluring flames will come out with some serious burns.
+ Wide Variety Of Abilities: Although the enlarged butterfly of a dragon is lacking in nearly all conventional fire dragon abilities, she easily makes up for it with a larger range of unique abilities that most are unlikely to suspect. This can catch attackers off guard in a matter of seconds if they are not careful.
+ Fair Weather: A day free of any precipitation works best for the female’s abilities, allowing to actually take form without issue.
Weaknesses:
- Cold Environments: A standard weakness. Colder environments decrease the rate in which she regenerates her flames. Not to mention that it diminishes her main food supply.
- Dry Environments: Seeing at is the opposite of humid environments, it is not terribly surprising that this is one of the butterfly dragon’s weaknesses. Dry areas make it more likely for her to accidentally set fire to plants and deny her her favored food source.
- Durability: Due to her more agile and lean frame, Pasha completely lacks in the durability apartment. One or two hits is enough to take her out completely. And damage to her wings is exceptionally bad, seeing as many of her powers rely on them being intact.
- Lack Of Breath: No breath is present for this fire dragon, causing it to lack an accurate ranged ability. Though she can spit fire, the shot’s range is quite short. And her main “ranged” ability is both inaccurate (even if the can suck some dragons in with its high winds) and has a very limited usage amount.
- Limited Usage Of Most Abilities: Though her abilities carry much variety, nearly all of them cannot be used but a few times. They have cool downs and limited “steam” to them, and must be used wisely.
- Any Precipitation: Inclement weather, on the other hand, can snuff out any of Pasha’s abilities if they are used during it. This leaves her mostly defenseless aside from one or two abilities that she can capitalize on.

Other:
- Pasha’s preferred area of residence are tropical jungles, for their hot temperatures and abundance of required sustenance.
- Although she may not look it, Pasha is a facilitative herbivore. Her main diet is nectar and fruits (including fermented ones), but she can consume meat if the need arises for it. Though, that is incredibly rare.
- The butterfly-like dragon is resistant to the effects of fermented fruit.
- Few can resist the allure of Pasha’s fiery creations, but it is not completely impossible. So long as one does not focus on them, they should be fine.
Oh my gosh, I'm an idiot! I completely forgot! My favorite TV show ever - Avatar: The Last Airbender - has dragons in it! Ran and Shaw from the episode "The Sun Warriors." Not at mention Avatar Roku's dragon, Fang. How dare I forget about them. >.<
