Amanita Profile

[b]The Dragon[/b]

[b]Name:[/b] Amanita

[b]Age:[/b] Hatchling

[b]Gender:[/b] Female

[b]Element:[/b] Mycotic (Forest)

[b]Appearance:[/b] Amanita is long and thin, with a body that, not including her tail, is nearly three times as long as she is tall. Her body is slightly wider than a cylindrical shape, while her limbs are of only moderate length, and remain slightly folded in a relaxed position, so that her belly remains not far from the ground. Her body itself is white, but covered with very very small mushrooms, with patches where nothing grows, giving an impression of an orange-red hide with white spots. Her belly is entirely white, with nothing growing on it. There is a ridge of large fungus going down the center of her back, to just short of the end of her tail, which is a deep purplish-black color.

Amanita's head is thin, with long, narrow jaws that hold needle-like teeth. Her head and jaws are covered even more thickly with the tiny mushrooms, having no white spots. Her eyes are a deep golden color, with large pupils that are only barely distinguishable from the irises around them. She has two short, black horns, which on close inspection turn out to be narrow mushrooms with multiple overlapping caps.

Amanita has two wide wings, the backs of which have the reddish-orange mushrooms growing on them. The flesh of the wings consists of a single membrane that hangs loosely until they're spread out to full extension.

Amanita is usually moving, having a tendency to pace restlessly most of the time. She uses her tail a lot to express her emotions, and can often been excittedly wagging, or more rarely swishing it in irritation.

Amanita's mushrooms can cause hallucinations if ingested, though with some delay, and if she unleashes her spores on someone, the same effects will take place much more quickly.

[b]Personality:[/b]

[i]Impatient, Playful, Invasive[/i]

Amanita is an excitable, restless sort of dragon. She always wants to be moving and doing things, never wanting to sit still for very long. It's difficult to even get her to focus on one thing at a time, unless it's something she's very interested in, in which case it's difficult to wrench her away from it.

Amanita is very sociable, and likes playing games with others. At times, she can be insistent in trying to convince others to entertain her, and at times she may try to force someone into interacting with her even when they don't want to. As well, her sense of what constitutes healthy "play" can get distorted sometimes as she loses track of how fragile some of her playmates can be relative to her.

Amanita likes interacting with others and learning things about them, and can get very pushy trying to get information out of people. She has a tendency to view others as her friends even if they have no interest in her, and often can be very meddlesome in trying to make others' lives go the way she wants.

Amanita often seems to be slightly out of touch with reality. Generally she seems pretty aware of what's around her, but at times she says strange things or seems to be observing things that aren't there, almost as if she were being partially affected by her own spores. The taint has also affected the way she thinks, and her moods can be somewhat unstable. When in a bad mood, she can be violent against anyone who bothers her.
