Dragon Name: Apple
Her green markings remind me of granny smith apples, her yellow base makes me think of golden delicious, and her freckles remind me of the spots some apples have. The brown on her feet is the same colour as an apple stem. Her nickname is Appaloosa, because of her spots.
There was always something odd about her...:
Ever since she was a bean, Apple has had frequent visions. They are a lot like dreams, and in the same way you have little control in dreams, Apple has little control in her visions. They can strike at random, although stress almost always triggers them. They aren't "weird" in the way some dreams are (ex. chasing lemons on winged lemurs. You know those crazy derpy dreams XD), but are very surreal. The environment is often real but warped, such as pink trees, floating rocks, or a purple sky. These visions are almost always untrue, but often reflect real events that have happened or will happen. Apple can read these visions fairly well, but not always. Although most visions are not "scary" per say, they always have a grim element of some sort. This can range from a dark environment to her life being in danger. In times of hardship in her life, Apple sometimes longs for her "dream world", a safe place a small few of her visions occur in. She is in control here, like a lucid dream. This place has soft pink grass and a light pink sky. Grey blue mountains rise into the sky, cherry blossom trees grow in thickets, and small grey stones float inches from the ground in some areas. There is always a reddish pink mist in the air, almost like fog. She feels most at home there and never has experienced a nightmare in that place.
Apple does not collapse when a vision hits. Normally, she'll pause in whatever she's doing, and her eyes will close. She will generally stay silent, with occasional noises of fear or discomfort. Many people don't even notice she's fallen into a vision. Her expression will change, and you can tell her eyes are moving behind her eyelids. Her ears will also flick around, like she's listening to real sounds. When she comes out of it, she'll normally brush it off and get on with her life, although some visions are too much, and she'll need to sit down. Nobody has found a cause for her visions, or a way to snap her out of them. They normally only last for a few minutes, although some can be only a few seconds or almost an hour. She keeps a journal of all her visions, and combs through it frequently, looking for answers. She also draws her "dream world" frequently.
200-word story containing freckles, a duck and a pickle:
Apple trotted down the street, heading to her favourite place. The soft dawn light shone on her fur as she headed out from behind the tall buildings and into the open. Soft grass and cattails surrounded her as she treaded slowly down towards the pond’s edge. Visiting the pond at sunrise was one of her favourite things to do. She approached the water’s edge and dug her toes into the soft mud, breathed in the smell of mud and water, listened to nature’s symphony of crickets and birds. Out in the middle of the lake, a family of ducks paddled slowly about. Apple smiled as she noticed one of the ducklings had some freckles on its cheeks. The mother duck was picking away at... was that a pickle? Apple watched the mother duck roll the pickle around, creating ripples that glowed in the dawn light. The little freckled duckling paddled towards her and stopped a few feet away, gazing up into her eyes. “Hello there little one,” Apple whispered, a small smile on her face. Suddenly, the mother duck let out a loud quack, and the tiny duckling splashed back over to her. Apple smiled and gazed to the sky.
