Pomona

Pomona

Pomona came to the Clan of the Purple Embers upon the request of Philip to attempt to aid Fred through his difficulties. In the beginning it was difficult to handle the odd behaviors of the small coatl, but in time Pomona found the quirks to be to be endearing. When Pomona is not spending time keeping track of Fred she spends her time attempting to learn how to manage the clan financial ledgers. However keeping an eye on Fred is a full time occupation, so progress on her education is slow.


While Pomona can look past most of Fred’s odd behaviors, there is one that she cannot fathom. Anyone who knows Fred knows of his inexplicable obsession with collecting fruit. None more so than Pomona.


Pomona is often presented with great ceremony the fruits of Fred labour. Which Pomona has no interest in eating, like all coatls she eats strictly fish. However in a continuous effort to maintain the small amount of stability the smaller coatl has, Pomona forces herself to eat the fruit offered by her mate. For as long as he stays afterwards.


As soon as he leaves Pomona will offer the remaining fruit to the bottomless pit known as Socks. And while Socks is always more than happy to eat in between meals, Pomona will sadly watch the addled coatl wander around in pursuit of his latest fascination. At moments like these Pomona is often filled with grief for not being able to do anything for her mate, she can’t even choke down a few mouthfuls of fruit for his continued mental stability.


Occasionally Pomona finds herself defending her mates odd behaviors, most notably to dragons just passing through on their way to the observatory, being unaware of the set of circumstances that led to Fred’s bewildering habits. It has been suggested that while Fred spends much time in the Arena and training in the Mire, perhaps the wrong dragon out of the pair of mates was chooses for that lifestyle. Pomona has often tried to get Fred out of his roles in the clan, all efforts which have proven to be fruitless. She however refuses to be taken away from the clan for extended periods of time. After all if she isn’t there who will take care of Fred? One can never be sure when he will need assistance.
