Zula is quite proud of both of her Color Guard spliced offspring, after all they are helpful AND talented! Henna takes after her mother strongly in appearance as well as demeanor. She's decided to help with the aftermath of refugee relocation, and encourages people to help gather her dragon's silky mane and tail fur as a calming exercise. Then of course she'll instruct them on how to turn it into thread and finally cloth!

Henna has a very calming influence on people, not least because of her Empathic power, but also because of her training with McPanda. His classes on Belief and Ceremony (not just 'tea', they learn about the subject of ceremony in culture) have allowed her to have a greater understanding of how people require both of those things, and how she can best provide or accent them with groups that are in need. If she was remaining at Carramba and Crescent City, she would very likely become a guidance counselor for the school system. It's basically what she does now at the Rookery and other locations.

Powers: Winged Flight - expected as an elegant Drak, with extremely good maneuverability and dexterity in the air, Kash is quite precise, but not very durable. He can certainly stress himself out for long distance flights, but for those he would prefer to just teleport. He can lift decent amounts of weight, but prefers to carry goods rather than people, because honestly if he drops them, they won't die...
Portaling/Teleport, Drak portaling is far easier for Kash than flight, so he has practiced being able to go several medium distances (around 5km) without resting between, and two or three long distances (up to 15km) with a bit of breath-catching. He is able to move between dimensions, but only with a very strong idea of where to go, and often requires a little talking up before triggering the power.
Mental and Verbal Communication, Kash speaks English with almost no Drak-accent, he's very concise and seems to consider his words as well as his company before speaking. He has an intimate mental connection with Henna, and enjoys helping her with her 'patients' in the field. As an emotional-support Drak, he's quite stunning!
Acid Spit, while he can use this ability as a last resort, Kash doesn't care for it at all, and has hardly practiced. He can spit a decent distance, over 30 meters, but it's hardly as accurate as any other dragon's breath weapon. He'll leave that to the combatants!
Parentage: Wind Angora F Drak Chamkare and Plant Angora M Drak Ksamkuz, known siblings include Trakareuz, Mamtuzre, Churuzre, and Sareuz.
Origin: residing at Dun Keiba on Planet Icarus his dam and sire are quite happy with the decision to send their clutch to this world, after all they have needs for warm cloth and still want to keep the color in their lives...
Other Info: If patience had a name, it would be Kashreuz. He is careful, but not delicate himself - so he tolerates quite a bit of handling and touching from the young refugees that Henna brings to him for support. He has a calm voice and likes it when kids scratch behind his ears... provided they can even find them among the fluff!
