Gardenia Teacup

Postby vindhov » Sun Feb 17, 2013 9:35 pm

Judging is now over.

When sleeping this little dragon curls up into a green ball placing it's big flower on top of it making it difficult to see amongts the other flowers. It lives mostly on the ground as it's big flower cripples it's ability to fly by making landings and lift of very straining

Congratulations to qwertypi who is now the new owner of this dragon!

Dragons name:
Blanchefleur, meaning white flower. he thinks it sounds too girly though, and he usually referrs to himself as Blanch. (It's funny, because blanch means to turn pale, and that can happen because of fear...)

Gender:
Accually, male! he seems a bit embarrased by his huge flower though...

Personality:
.:Shy:.
Blanch's large flower makes him very easy to spot, so he tends to stick to the shadows and never poke his nose into anyone else's buisness. He is very introverted, and speaks very quietly, if at all. He also is embarassed when others look at his flower, which is absolutley stunning, but it makes him appear more feminine. He thinks that making himself as small, and unoticable as possible will help him, and it does, but the poor thing never goes out of his comfort zone anymore....

.:Stubborn:.
Blanch sets his mind to one thing, and doesn't budge from it. When he has too, he uses his giant flower as a weight to make sure none of the other dragons tries to drag him away. He can even bite or scratch, and tries his hardest to struggle whenever something ever manages to drag him away.

.:Intellegent:.
Blanch has to be smart and quick witted to live on the ground. Most teacup dragons can find a safe refuge if they fly, but unfortunatley, it takes too much effort for Blanch to fly, and that energy is reserved for only the most dire situations. So, Blanch somehow manages to hide that big, bright white flower of his. Somehow....


Short story about this dragon in some kind of danger (600 word maximum):
Blanch stood on his hind legs, sniffing the air, he turned his head quickly from side to side, and darted under a nearby fern. He cautiously nibbled at it while his eyes darted back and forth. Of couse, all this caution was not called for, as nothing seemed wrong. Blanch glanced at his home. He had made it under a gardenia bush, and one had to crawl or climb through/under the lower branches of the bush to get to the den entrance.
Blanch decided that he would venture a bit further, and soon began nibbling juniper berries. Suddenly, an odd scent hit his nose. It was the smell of meat, a rare treat in the forest. The closest that a teacup dragon could get in the forest were small fish, and they were hardly worth the effort it took to catch them. Mice also came along, but most were pretty big, and they had teeth that were a bit too big for comfort. Blanch thought for a little bit, then he slithered off through the grass towards the smell. What he did not notice however, was the musky scent that was also in the air, and also coming from the direction of the meat...
Blanch poked his head out of a bush, and looked into the clearing. A slain elk was lying there, and a dark, humped, furry, large shape was busily knawing at it. The wolverine glanced up, and it's hard, cold eyes sent chills down Blanch's spine. Blanch retreated into the bush, turned, and his legs pumping, fled in the direction of his nest. The wolverine, growled, and gave pursuit. Its long legs covered the ground faster, and the wolverine soon cut off Blanch from his nest. Blanch skidded to a stop, and tripped over a rock, tumbling heads over heels, to lie flat on his stomach, about 5 humans sized steps from the wolverine.
Blanch's mind clouded in terror, and he couldn't think at all. All he did was panic, looking around frantically, while the wolverine slowly approached its prey. Clouded by panic, in a desparate attempt to save himself, Blanch scrambled for a tree. His claws slipped on the lichen and leaves covering the forest floor, but out of pure terror, Blanch kept going. The wolverine was close by now, and picking up its pace as Blanch scrambled away. He heaved himself onto a tree root, and wrapped his front claws around a low branch, scrambling and kicking with his hind legs, dragging his heavy tail up onto the branch. Blanch panted, and reached up again, sinking his claws into the soft bark. A wave of hot, warm breath washed over him, and Blanch even opened his wings and beat the air with them.
When Blanch finally reached the last, thin branch on the tree, h sat there wide-eyed with terror, staring down into the branches. After a long time, his mind cleared, and Blanch cautiously dropped down a little, eyeing the leaves and thicker branches warily. The wolverine had gone, but it had left deep claw-marks in the tree bark. Blanch scurried into his nest, and curled up into a tight ball, and would only come out after more than 48 hours had passed.

nadya16
Dragons name:
Eternity
Gender:
Female
Personality:
The vivid yellow and bent horns show some of her personality- vain, strong-headed, stubborn and bossy. But the gentle and purity of the petals show the side which is-pure, kind hearted, gentle and sensitive. Just like the flower (gardenia)), Eternity is kind and sensitive in summer-when the rose petals are blooming with the sweet smell. When the petals die in winter, the vain, arrogant and vague side of Eternity begins to show. She has a "special soul object" which keeps her alive, it is a gardenia. If the gardenia dies then Eternity dies. This gardenia grows and blooms and if kept safe and in correct conditions it shall live forever-that is why Eternity's parents called her Eternity.

Dragons name:
Viatrix

Gender:
Female

Personality:
Viatrix is a calm, collected Teacup, She's kind and caring, she's also patient
and wise. Viatrix is very intelligent, and very observative. That's what she does; notices things before others do, she can look at a tiny leaf and immediately start to notice the tiny holes where bugs had chewed on it. Via looks at the world in a different light, she looks at it like it is a blessing, but also something that won't last. Can't last. Not for her anyway, nothing is immortal, or ever-lasting which is why she lives life to it's fullest. Viatrix is also a wonderful listener she always has been. Even when she was a little dragon, others of all ages would come to speak with her about their problems. She would always patiently listen and only give her thoughts if they asked for them. Most of the time she had no idea, especially when they were matters of older people, but she was always more than willing to listen to them and help them work them out by talking them through to a non-threatening person.


Short story about this dragon in some kind of danger (600 word maximum):

Viatrix had been taken in as an egg, by a family of mice. She hatched under their care and was raised to believe she was a mouse, though she always thought something was different about her… considering she had wings, she’s green and was bigger then her siblings, though she asked many times, her parents still said that she was their child. One day while her mother was napping she ran out into the forest on her own. It was a cloudy day, though Viatrix didn't care she just wanted to explore, even if just for a few minutes. She came upon a sweet smelling bush with little red berries on them, she was curious, she licked one and it seemed okay, she bit it off and ate it with child like wonder in her eyes.

She looked around and went to jump into another bush she laughed and rolled over, she laid gently, her “paws” held up in the air. She opened her eyes staring up gently. The sun seeped through holes in the leaves shining down upon her slender and tiny form, she smiled happily. The bush rattled a bit, she gasped jumping up, listening to it, "Momma?" She asked quietly, she didn't get an answer, she blinked and moved towards the bush again she let out a scream of terror when she came face to face with a cat, at the time to her it looked like a giant monster, she ran away swiftly from it, it hissed and followed after her, to it, she was a tiny snack. She ran back to her mother, who was still resting inside the den, the rest of her family were at the human house stealing food for dinner, "Momma!" She screamed racing in and tackling her, "A Monster, A Monster!" She wailed disdainfully, she didn't like the large black beast that was chasing her; it's bloodshot eyes that attacked her like the sharp teeth and claws it bared towards her. Her mother folded back her ears, "Where-" She started to say until she saw the cat in the distance, "Run Viatrix" She said defensively, "B-But Momma" She said, "Go!" her mother yelped and nudged her along, "I'll be right behind you!" She said. Viatrix took off running, she ran and ran.... but her mother never followed her.

She whimpered, it was dark out, she was cold and hungry, she had gotten lost in the forest of the night, the little “Mouse” had no home, she called for her mother and yowled out sadly trying to find her. “Momma… Momma” She said, her eyes growing hazy with tiredness, but she couldn't sleep yet, she wanted to wait for her mother, she was scared, being on her own. "Momma..." She called almost yawning, she saw a white blur the distance, and after a while, it faded into the darkness of sleep as she ended up closing her eyes and drifting away on a voyage of dreams. In the morning she discovered herself in a den where she met Lola, a lovely white dragon and the blur she had seen in the night, she was a clever dragon, but none like Viatrix had ever seen, she was pure white, her scales flawless, her eyes were a strange, one was blue and the other green, and she had a lovely flower upon her tail. Viatrix learned she was a dragon, and though she never seen her family again she learned about her own kind and lived happily ever after.

Dragons name;;
    Bridal
    Gardenia is a genus of 142 species of flowering plants in the coffee family, Rubiaceae, native to the tropical and subtropical regions of Africa, southern Asia, Australasia and Oceania.

Gender;;
    Bridal is a Female, but she prefers to be called a Dragin.
    In Chinese mythology, a female dragon is a Phoenix or FengHuang in Chinese. There does not seem to be a term in popular use to describe a dragon of either sex based on its gender. I'm not exactly sure, but I've seen a few words around. Female dragon, she-dragon, dragoness.I'm not sure why they made these words, because they're kinda simaliar to cats. Anyway, that's all I know. And Upon deep research, I find the correct term to be dragin. Sounds so Beautiful!!~From answers


Personality;;
    Bridal is very formal and propper. She loves it when guests come over, but if you make a mess and don't clean it up, she'll show you the door. She loves to have tea with Kek, who she trusts with everything, including flying down to the bottom of the mountain to get items from the humans. She gets Bridal seeds, tea, and something called cotton. She uses the seeds for her greenroom, which is deep underground. Bridal uses tea for when Kek comes overon mondays. She uses the cotton for beds, seeting, and doors. She likes to collect everything that she finds on her walks.


Short story about this dragon in some kind of danger;;
    Bridal walked slowly down the path. The sun was out and bright as usual and the wasn't a cloud to be seen. She hummed a made-up tune lightly as she let her eyes close, for she knew the way by heart. Suddenly, she heard loud voices from down the path, "Daddy, look at all the pretty flowers!" Bridal barely had time to curl into a sleeping position. "Oh, daddy," The human said as it got closer, "Can we take this one home for Mamma?" The human reached for the flower, but the little dragon was smarter than that. She pulled her flower in. Even though it was uncomfortable, Bridal kept it in. "Daddy, it's gone!" The voice cried. The little human tossed Bridal aside unknowingly as she dug around for the flower. Bridal scurried off before eigther of the humas could find her.

The snow glows white on the mountain tonight
Not a footprint to be seen
A kingdom of isolation and it looks like I'm the Queen
The wind is howling like the swirling storm inside
Couldn’t keep it in, heaven knows I tried
Don’t let them in, don’t let them see
Be the good girl you always had to be
Conceal, don’t feel
Don’t let them know
Well, now they know

~Demi Lavato Let It Go
One, two, three and four
The devil's knocking at your door
Caught in the eye of a dead man's lie
Show your life with your head held high
Now you're on your knees
With your head held low
the big man tells you where to go
Tell him it's good
Tell him okay
Don't do a damn thing they say

~ The Pretty Reckless Heaven Knows
