Appearance
Éibhlín is an ethereal and slender creature, resembling a graceful fox with a celestial twist. Its body is sleek and elongated, covered in a delicate layer of shimmering feathers that appear white at first glance. However, when illuminated by light, the feathers reveal a stunning prismatic quality, catching and refracting into a spectrum of soft, iridescent colors that dance across its form.
The head is elegant and refined, with large, expressive eyes that shine like pools of liquid starlight, capable of conveying both wisdom and compassion. The dragon’s large, slightly drooping ears are pointed and adorned with feathers that resemble delicate, translucent veils. A mane of eye-catching feathery plumage arches gracefully from the top of its head, adding to its regal and otherworldly appearance.
Éibhlín's neck is long and flexible, allowing her to move with fluid, almost serpentine grace. Her slender, sinuous body tapers to a sleek, elegant tail that ends in a flourish of feathers. Her long, delicate limbs are lithe and dexterous, ending in delicate, clawed feet that can manipulate objects with surprising precision. When in flight, its broad, vibrant wings unfurl, displaying a mesmerizing array of colors as they catch the light, adding an almost otherworldly quality to her already captivating presence. The massive wings create an ethereal display of shifting hues, enhancing the dragon’s grace and beauty as it soars through the sky.
When she uses her healing abilities, a warm, soothing glow emanates from its body, particularly from her eyes. This aura has a calming effect on those who receive its care, enveloping them in a gentle embrace of radiance that heals both physical wounds and emotional distress. The healing power can be focused to a certain being or a specific portion of a living body, the emotional influence can be activated via proximity.
Disposition
Éibhlín maintains an air of regal aloofness, rarely engaging deeply with those she deems beneath her or unworthy of her attention. She is generally detached from others, keeping her interactions superficial unless they serve her interests or image. When confronted with conflict, her reaction largely depends on the circumstances: if she believes she is in the right, she will confront the issue head-on with a commanding presence. However, if she finds herself outnumbered or outmatched, she will begrudgingly submit, though not without a display of displeasure or disdain.
Conceited, arrogant, and prone to agitation, she finds disruptions and disturbances to her peace deeply upsetting. She has a strong preference for tranquility and order, which aligns with her need for a serene environment. Éibhlín values her image highly and is always mindful of how others perceive her. While she might appear detached, this distance is partly a defense mechanism to shield her insecurities about her physical prowess and the opinions of others.
Éibhlín is a regal and demanding dragon who values her own comfort and status above all. She expects those around her to maintain a level of decorum and respect that matches her lofty standards. Her temperament can be a bit tempestuous if things don’t align with her expectations.
Personality
Éibhlín combines her celestial grace with a finicky and demanding attitude. While she has an air of majesty and authority, her interactions are often tinged with irritation and an expectation for others to cater to her needs. She is particularly sensitive about her appearance, and her healing nature is both a blessing and a burden due to it's usefulness and her intolerability. She is highly motivated by the desire to maintain her impeccable image and status. Though she values her appearance and the perception of others, she is willing to make sacrifices for the greater good, especially if it aligns with her sense of duty or enhances her reputation.
Éibhlín’s personality is a complex blend of pride, sensitivity, and a latent capacity for affection. She sees herself as the epitome of grace and beauty, often considering herself "superior" to other dragons. This pride can lead her to view those who disagree with her as lacking in taste or discernment. Despite her lofty self-image, she is deeply insecure about how others perceive her. This insecurity manifests in her defensive reactions and heightened sensitivity to perceived slights.
Although she will confront those she feels are in the wrong, she prefers to avoid direct confrontation when she senses that the odds are against her. In such cases, her submission is reluctant and marked by visible frustration. Once she feels secure and accepted, her affection becomes more apparent. She expresses her care through lavish gestures and is willing to go to great lengths to show her warmth, though this side of her is reserved for those she trusts or admires. She is highly motivated by the desire to maintain her impeccable image and status.
Though she values her appearance and the perception of others, she is willing to make sacrifices for the greater good, especially if it aligns with her sense of duty or enhances her reputation.
