Astrus

Microlore: Quiet and awkward, this dragon is not the best conversationalist. He often feels put on the spot, and like the words are dying in his throat when someone starts speaking with him. In personal interactions, he feels quite uncomfortable, as he is sure his clammy paws will give away his nerves.

However, he has a secret: He loves to be in the limelight!

Being in front of a crowd is nothing like having a private conversation. Performing is much, much better! He has trained under his mother to project his voice and to coordinate his outfits for each performance. He hopes to become a singer like his mother, though he has also toyed with the idea of becoming a stage magician for the entertainment of hatchlings.




-Rettah gave him a top hat for his magic tricks, but though he succeeds in pulling rabbits out of them, he hasn't figured out how to send them back yet; can also do some card tricks.

-For the most part though he sticks to singing and reciting.

-Skah loves to doll him up before his performances. Skah also tsked at him when they first met and altered his appearance, saying he could be "bolder, brighter"

-Often performs with Shadowstar (who dances) and Aleksandr (who plays the harp and will sometimes sing with him).

-Devastated to hear that his parents died of a plague in Oakrest; he knew he should feel closer to his mother when he was on the stage continuing her legacy, but instead he felt that the very foundation of his music, his voice had been shattered

-He has taken to experimenting with different musical formats and genres - privately, in front of small groups - in an attempt to discover his own voice, though it comes with a good deal of guilt

-He has also made attempts to branch into his father's signal flags and banners, pestering the Stitchery dragons until they teach him or help him sew and dye all of the flags he can remember from his youth. He thinks Prufrock might be able to use such things. After all, Lantern Port can signal the island with the lighthouse, but how would the island signal those on the mainland?
