Powers: Winged Flight, Taproot is an adequate flier, he's big and reasonably durable in the air, but not terribly maneuverable. He can however maintain a good line in stiff winds, and apparently is able to navigate in near darkness as well as bad weather conditions. He can carry quite a bit of weight.
Verbal Communication, he's able to speak Draconic and English well, but gets confused by accents of any kind.
Photosynthesis and Plant Toxins, Taproot is apt to enjoy basking for long periods, and rarely eats more than fruits or, his favored, tubers and roots. He does drink a lot of water, and has never been known to become ill from any form of toxins, including fermentation, so he doesn't know what the fuss is about when Olive chastises people for 'getting drunk'. He possibly believes she's tsking her tongue at them because they can't speak right...
Minor Plant Manipulation, that's not saying he can't identify toxins and poisonous plants when he detects them. He can alter their properties to be inert, and is excellent at 'sobering people up' whatever that means...
Parentage: Unknown, pure Leafwings, he's unrelated to any others in the Rookery
Origin: adopted from Catbreeze212 on deviantart, Wings of Fire by Tui Sutherland
Other Info: Taproot is... a bit on the naive side, honestly. He means well and is brave, steady, and sure as a friend to his little human friend. He is absolutely dumb as a bag of bricks, though.
