Powers: Winged Flight, Adept at low-altitude and under-canopy flight, Leafshade is unpredictable in the air and enjoys dodging raindrops. Not very hefty, in fact he's remarkably light weight, he can land on very thin branches or improbable crumbling structures and not disturb it at all on takeoff or landing. While you can feel the wind from his wings it's a very pleasant breeze, hardly what you'd imagine a full sized dragon would displace. He is not very strong, but can concentrate effort on lifting large trees or rocks if needed, though he can do this on the ground with much greater effect.
Communication, With a high, sing-song voice, faint like rustling leaves, Leafshade is a pleasant conversationalist and has extensive knowledge of plants and nature overall, so he's learning more about Earth- and Twoarth-local words for those things. Speaks English and Draconic but only secondarily, his knowledge of plants comes naturally so his dialog about it often consists of asking 'what is this thing I'm thinking of' and memorizing the results. He and Hudson have a strong Vortal bond, more magical than psionic.
Nature Shape, Leafshade is very much the plant shaper, tree-hugger, hippie type, and is constantly on the move looking for places to replant or dig up things to best aid their growth. He has an affinity with shade trees, vines, and spore-bearing plants of all kinds, and seems to really like inhaling those spores from mushrooms... He can sense plants at distances up to 250 meters, and clearly understand their needs biologically within 20 meters. He can also sense through them up to 100 meters away as long as there are plants adding up to about his own body weight - so, unlikely in a city unless it's a park, but with ease anywhere else. This can be grass, and also remember: roots count! A single large shade tree is all it really takes. He does use photosynthesis but eats fruit, nuts, berries, and the occasional egg if there's a nest he missed. On a full sunny day, he can power up and fix rotting trees or broken branches within minutes, using his magic. However he can still do these things without that, but it takes longer.

Other Info: Though Hudson does do a large amount of... well, scent marking and trail blazing via crashing-through-woodlands, he's never seemed to mind fixing everything up on their way out. They make a good team to dig up dangerous or invasive plants - Hudson can grab the main portions and Leafshade removes whatever is left with magic. |
