Xiu

Art by me

Xiu is only another stuck-up imperial in his clan's eyes. Some call him mystical- And they're not wrong to say that- but it's strange to most of them how he's so smug and regal yet kind at the same time. They can all admit he's not the nicest dragon, but he does his job (which is being a princely prince,) well and to the best of his ability.

No one ever asks him to change his ways, because if they do that they know it won't turn out well. They'll just leave the argument with hurt feelings and maybe a few scars. His smugness and ability of arguing so well gets on some of the clans' nerves. The leaders of the clan think he should be a diplomat, and he wants to be one. It's strange, though, how he keeps saying things along the lines of "I'm not ready," or "I'm not good enough. Not yet." No one truly understands him fully, so, like the prince that he is, he just lives on.

One day, he hopes that everyone will understand him for what he is, and accept it. Knowing his clan, that day probably won't be anytime soon, so he just strives to be the best possible. One day, he says, he will be a king, and, one day, he proclaims, he will be a true diplomat.
