Socks

Socks ______________ When it rains, look for rainbows; when it's dark, look for stars. "Hakuna Matata!" There are two aspects to a 100% lovable persona: cute and cuddly. And Socks has them both! With a knack for getting underfoot, Socks' bubbly personality lights up the lair wherever he goes. An adorable smile can get him out of trouble at any given time and with her legendary puppy eyes, Socks can often get her way with anything. No one in the lair can not love Socks, even if they find her stuck in the cookie jar for the twentieth time. The only thing Socks can't wrestle her way out of is Phenix's law of bedtime, which states that all hatchlings must go to bed at a certain time. Pfft! Who needs sleep?

Smol and bubbly, Socks can most often be found playing with the other hatchlings. Despite her youthfulness, she knows better how to take care of other hatchlings than the adults do (No bedtime and lots of ice cream!). Having been adopted and carefully raised by the clan, Socks understands what it feels like to grow up without one's biological parents, and is therefore especially skilled at cheering up homesick clanmates (usually by bouncing around their heads and huggling) or newly adopted hatchlings. No one can resist feeling better after seeing that adorable face! Sometimes, however, Socks gets sad, especially when one of her good hatchling friends grows up and learns to deal with the burden of being an adult. But she bounces back fast, because Socks has plenty of friends, and she knows that even if she can't grow up like the rest of them, even if she might never understand the concept of maturing, she's right where she belongs!

Most dragons who set off on the exalt train to the Observatory encounter the same fate -- becoming a researcher under the Arcanist for life. However, this was not so for Socks. On her first day at the Observatory, despite her still being a hatchling (really, Arcanist. Really?), Socks was assigned to watch over a brew filled with sparkling and highly radioactive chemicals. Unfortunately, Socks may have gotten just a teensy bit distracted and forgot about the time. The result? A highly explosive magical blast, flaming bits of sludge, and one flying Snapper hatchling. Though Socks ended up externally undamaged, something had changed -- her internal clock was frozen in time. She did not grow. She did not mature. She was stuck as a hatchling. Naturally, the Arcanist tried to work some of his famous (or infamous) magical remedies on Socks. He tried everything from aromatherapy to magical spells to rune scribing to feeding the hatchling massive quantities of cream puffs, all to no avail -- Socks was simply stuck as a cute little snipsnop. Not that Socks was unhappy about that, of course. But the Arcanist was certainly distressed by the incident. Who was going to deal with his research papers now? Unable to fix Socks' condition and not wanting news of this mishap to spread for fear hatchlings are never sent as exalts again, the Arcanist quietly shipped Socks off to a nearby clan. Yes, quietly. Very quietly. But don't worry! The Arcanist will figure out how to change him back! And no, he won't forget. The Starseer would never forget one of his - Dad, get back here!

Linen so delicate it is stained with a sunset. a mother’s tart cranberry reply. the patient questions of a cow many trees away. sunflowers, yellow like the color of three. the feel of a bubble brushing your skin.
