Khalyraxis, the Verdant Wing
Appearance
A sleek copper dragon with scales that shift between verdigris green and warm copper depending on the light. Her wings have a translucent emerald membrane, and her eyes are molten gold. When she laughs (often), a faint acidic mist curls from her nostrils. In humanoid form, she appears as a copper-haired elven woman with green-flecked eyes.
Personality
- Witty and playful — loves riddles, wordplay, and laughing at her own jokes
- Fiercely protective — of her territory, her allies, and the innocent
- Unconventional — the youngest Dragon Lord; the others see her as reckless
- Traumatized — her capture by the Hand of Ruin left psychological scars; she masks it with humor

Secrets
- She was the First Sages' favorite — chosen as the youngest Dragon Lord specifically because her playfulness balanced the others' severity.

- Her true name, spoken in Draconic, is three syllables long — she's never told anyone.
