Here's the last of the season dragon comparison sheets, featuring (top to bottom) Rothwen, Rydon, and Garafan.

So the thing about the season dragons is that they don't technically represent their season... it's actually just an old (really oldddd) joke among some of the great drakes when they were comparing and contrasting the lesser drake species and began grouping them together. It started because summer and winter dragons had obviously polar opposite Gifts, and then spring and autumn were added to make a set. It just so happened that those lesser drakes actually did get along well enough to share colonies, and the joke stuck long enough to outlive the extinction of the rest. Now the only remaining species, for the most part, are these four.

All of that to say, the only thing autumnal about the autumn dragons is that their color changes like a leaf as they age. It has resulted in some funny guesses at the season of my dragons because my main autumn oc is Rydon, who is young and deep green.

Also I'm thinking now that I should have arranged this set like a traffic light...heh
