Description  Full name: Raspberry Berrytail.
 Also known as: Raspy.
 Age: 31 (Adult), born in 1546.
 Status: Alive.
 Gender: Female.
 Species: Western Dragon.
 Type: Water/Earth dragon mix.
 Elements: Nature.
 Skill Level: Average.
 Family: Navy Fishtail (mother, deceased), Hiiro Rosetail (father), Seaweed Fishtail (sister, deceased), Shipovnik Berrytail (brother).
 Civil Status: 1st class civilian.
 Occupation: Gardener (officially), forest ranger.



 Personality and Character:

 Being a rich city child in combination of having botched her socialization, Raspberry always or almost always speaks very formally, and does not really comprehend the difference between official addressing and casual chatter. She is also a very serious person and fails to understand most jokes.


 Raspberry is not a very social dragon, to put it lightly. She doesn't need any company, feels the happiest alone, and gets tired of people quickly. She doesn't really understand things could be different for others, and this is usually the primary source for strains on her relationships, especially the one with her clingy and emotionally dependent brother.


 Often, if Raspy is troubled with something or overwhelmed with emotion, she will go somewhere she could be alone and grow some berries for herself. She likes berries.

 Raspberry also really likes nature and wilderness in general, especially forests. She spends most of her time camping somewhere in the Warfang territory away from the city itself, and puts a lot of effort and care into keeping it green and beautiful.


 Spending so much time away from the city yet keeping the 1st class status makes Raspberry feel guilty, so she tries to earn it by helping out in the farmlands every now and then and working as a gardener with her brother when she's staying in the city.


 Raspberry strongly wishes for the war to end so that she could leave the city for good.




 Skills and Abilities:

 Raspy's elemental skill depends on what exact plants she is working with. She is best with the Rubus genus, and the farther away plants are in classification, the worse she is with them.


 Nature Breath: Raspberry can breathe out some nature energy that will make raspberries grow on the surface it touches. It also smells like raspberries.


 Basic Plants Manipulation: Raspberry can manipulate the plants already there so long as she's touching them. Moving, growing, wilting, blooming, bearing fruits...


 Plant Growth: Raspberry can grow a plant directly on the ground right next to her. She can even grow a raspberry bush large enough to hide herself. That, however, is her limit.

 Wicker Platform: if Raspberry touches a tree, she could make it's branches intertwine to form a stable platform.

 Trapper Plant: Raspberry can make a fly eater plant big enough that a hare could fit inside it's "mouth". She uses it for hunting.


 Thorned Vine: Raspberry can grow and manipulate one thorned vine at a time.


 Raspberry also has a lot of skills and knowledge neccessary for surviving on her own. Path finding, food and water search, cooking, building, first aid, etcetera.


 However, her social skills are outright pathetic.


 

 Weaknesses:

 For someone who's supposed to be good at surviving in the wilderness, she sure is bad at tolerating cold.


 Also, Raspy's very flammable.




 Backstory:
 

 Although Raspberry was born in Warfang, she used to spend a lot of time playing in forests or visiting small villages, even during the Dark War II. However, once Dark War III began, her parents suddenly forbid her to leave the city. That was torture for Raspy. She wanted to see a forest again. To relax in the shadows of the foliage, to walk on grass, to smell the natural fresh air, to listen to brooks running and birds singing, to taste fresh berries...


 Around three years later, the Warfang Wall and forcefield were erected, making two forests that should have been safe to play in. Raspberry didn't wait even a day longer - in the night, she snuck out of their family mansion and ran away. She spent the next two years surviving on her own in Warfang forest. It was tough for a young teenager. Very tough. Raspy's received a lot of rather embarassing injuries and nearly starved to death. But... she was happy. She didn't want to come back, and only decided to do so when she's calmed down enough to realize her family might be a little worried.


 Ever since then, Raspberry's been spending most of her time somewhere in Warfang territory, especially the Warfang forest, and only coming back to visit her family. She even was in the forest during the Warfang Break-in, and therefore stayed completely unaware of it.



 Relationships:

 Navy Fishtail
 Her mother. They had rather different interests - forests and sea - but Raspy respected her a lot, and is sad she's gone.

 Hiiro Rosetail
 Her father. Raspberry respects him a lot, although she has some trouble understanding his sense of humour.

 Shipovnik Berrytail
 Little brother. Raspberry respects him, but really wishes he'd stop making sad faces every time she talks about forests or leaves for one.

 Seaweed Fishtail
 Little sister. They got along pretty well, and Raspberry is sad she's gone.



 Notes:

 - Her birthday is somewhere after the break-in, which is why she's not 32 yet.


 - She was dark green at the moment of birth, but her scales changed color as she grew up.

 I actually drew this and Foamie's ref at the same time, just haven't felt like uploading because writing all that info... oh, and yeah, I accidentally drew Raspy visibly larger than Foamie, and I'm totally keeping that size difference. I mean, it makes sense! Raspy is on the Earth and Water branches while Foamie is Water and Air. If I understand correctly, Earth dragons are the biggest and Air dragons are the smallest, so... yup. Raspy should be a big lady in general, and definitely bigger than Foamie.

 Also, while we're comparing Raspy and Foamie, note that Raspy is also noticeably thinner. Foamie is somewhat chubby and has a bit of a belly, while Raspy is... not a noodle, maybe, but bordering the line.
