introducing Sunset and her family!
Sunset and her family are based in Sunbeam Grotto, where she and Mudpuppy have lived for many years (my clan lore is linked in my profile if anyone wants to attach their descendant's story to Sunbeam Grotto). the lore dedicated to this project in particular can be found in Sunset's bio! ^__^
Sunset - the matriarch of her family's lineage! Sunset is a talented flier who teaches the hatchings of her clan to fly. Even when her classes are over, she remains in the sky, dancing and twisting her way through the clouds! Sunset takes great pride in her role at the top of the family tree, and makes sure to give special attention to each of her descendants she meets.
Mudpuppy - Sunset's mate, who she met on his way to search for a clan they'd both seen in a vision. He is the clan's swimming teacher and a prominent member of the council of elders. While he is a stern and serious father, he's also the biggest supporter of his children and their descendants, and wishes for each of them to find a life and home they love.
Delphina - the eldest daughter of Sunset and Mudpuppy. Delphina cares for the youngest members of the family, and is known to them as "auntie" no matter how distant their relation. She has a natural optimism and exuberant energy that's absolutely infectious!
Begonia - the elder son of Sunset & Mudpuppy. A quiet, gentle giant who has a soft spot for his flower gardens and his fruit farming partner Pitaya. Like the rest of his family, Begonia takes delight in passing on his talents and hobbies to the younger generations.
Sunshower - the younger son of Sunset & Mudpuppy, who takes after his mother as a gifted flier. Sunshower's enhanced Water magic allows him to manipulate the weather while he's in the sky, enabling him to pull together a sudden shower or even a rainbow!
Daybreak - the only adopted son in Sunset's immediate family. He hatched from an egg that dropped straight out of the sky, caught by Sunset at the last second before it hit the water. Daybreak was incubated along with Sunshower's clutch and accepted as another member of the family.
Minnow - Sunset & Mudpuppy's youngest daughter. While her mother and siblings rarely leave the skies, little Minnow prefers an aquatic lifestyle! She spends much of her time splashing around in the reef with the other hatchlings.
Dominic - Sunset's grandchild felt drawn to the sea while traveling and found herself within the clan of her ancestors! She was immediately invited to join the clan and has since found her purpose assisting the clan's farmers with her magic.
Simera - the youngest daughter of Delphina, who tends to a hot spring she discovered near the clan's main dwelling space. Since reaching maturity, Simera hasn't yet expressed any interest in leaving the clan, but it's likely Mudpuppy will persuade her to at least travel and see the world outside their insulated home.
Venka - as a hatchling, Sunset's great-granddaughter was swept up in a lightning storm and somehow delivered to Sunbeam Grotto's shore. After maturing, she chose to leave the clan to live a wilder life in the Charged Barrens - but she still visits often!
Aida - a long-lost great-great-great-grandchild of Sunset recently arrived in Sunbeam Grotto! She's a painter by trade, and since her homecoming has greatly enjoyed painting the vistas and views of the sky over the ocean - often featuring some familiar flying Imperials.
Coriander - Sunset's great-grandson left Sunbeam Grotto to pursue the freshest ingredients to add to his gourmet meals. But even a traveling chef gets homesick sometimes! Coriander always cooks a great feast for whichever clan is hosting him, and his home clan is no exception.
Aen - a serious apprentice to an eccentric teashop host. Aen is meticulous in his work blending and serving tea, and proud of his strong legacy. He lacks the boisterous spirit inherited by many of his relatives, and tends to be a wallflower at family gatherings.
Verdigris - a dedicated archivist of the family's lengthy history! Verdigris catalogues the names and stories of her many cousins, and keeps a spectacular library in her home and within her mind.
Cobalt - since he participated with the rest of dragonkind in the Dustcarve Dig, this newly-transformed Obelisk has had an affinity for treasure hunting!
Laguna - a skilled swimmer, just like her great-grandfather. She works with her son Sandbar to map the many currents of the Sea.
Sandbar - a young, playful Spiral who loves to swim amongst the colorful creatures inhabiting the Fishspine Reef.
Tangelo - a prodigious sorcerer practicing a new form of art - they perform by conjuring colorful flames that dance and interact with one another.
Dallion - he visited Sunbeam Grotto many times in his childhood, and is deeply familiar with the clan - now, he's moved in! A lifetime bookworm, Dallion found himself well-suited for the position of librarian's apprentice.
Dalius - Dallion's younger brother has happily made himself at home in Sunbeam Grotto, refusing to leave with his parents after the reunion. He's easily fit in with the clan's curious hatchlings, though!
Calida - a spirited young dragon with a love for singing discovered her passion for the lute after trying out an instrument abandoned by a traveler.
Luna - a lackadaisical youth who stumbled into somewhat of an apprenticeship position to the clan's elder festival coordinator.
