I am looking to adopt, cherish, and make art for...Picture:
Kennel number: F15
Name: Flitt
Breed: Hummingbird-Dragon
The Hummingbird-Dragon is a relatively calm and well-tempered species of Dragon Hybrids. Unlike the Dragon-Unicorn it has a sweet personality and is not as aggressive. And like the Dragon-Squirrel* they usually are very curious and enjoy company. However, they can be angered, and when they do they can emit short blasts of fire or scratch you heavily with their sharp claws. Some Hummingbird-Dragons can even control an element, but most of the time it is fire. Hummingbird-Dragons use fires to attract mates. Males will fight over females with their spiked tails, sharp beaks, and horns, usually injuring themselves in the process. When Hummingbird-Dragons mate, they stick together for a year and raise the young. After that they can choose to stay together or leave. They can live for 50 years. They are omnivores and can eat anything from large flies to birdseed, although they enjoy nectar [a substitute is sugar water] the most.
Why do you want this animal and what will you do for it?: I fell in love with Flitt as soon as I saw her, and I vowed I would try out to adopt her.
I also plan to make lots of art for her, add her to my charactor thread, and make a story about her.
Personality:Fun loving
Likable
Intellegent
Talkative
Talented
Flitt is a kind creature. She enjoys friends and nature. She is weary of humans but will make friends here and there, although she doesn't really make close friends. She enjoys fires and will bring back something burning so she can study it. She is chatty and loves a laugh.
However, when she is angered Flitt's personality reverses. She becomes cruel and unkind, lashing out at you if you were the one that angered her. In her angered state she can completely forget friendships. However, she feels guilty afterwards especially if she hurt her friends.
Flitt can hold a grudge for a long time. If you had betrayed her, and came back years later, she would still be angry with you. She will usually not speak to you or even look at you, but not normally hurt you. You would have had to have done something pretty bad for her to hurt you off of a grudge.
Flitt is also rebellious. She doesn't usually like rules, but she isn't stupid when it comes to them. She usually disregards warnings and goes wherever she wishes, sometimes ending in disaster.
However, Flitt also has a scientific side. She studies the environment and why certain things are they way they are. She likes to observe butterflies in particular, watching their life cycles. She even has a cave in her home where she studies them.
Likes: NatureBeing a hummingbird hybrid she is automaticly attached to nature. She enjoys to fly around taking in the sights of waterfalls, forests, canions, and deserts.
FlowersNot only does Flitt love the fregrance and colors of flowers, she loves the sweet nectar that they provide. She expecially likes rose nectar.
FlyingFlitt practicly has to fly every second of the day, but that doesn't keep her from enjoying it! Her favorite sport is racing, as she can fly incredibly fast and enjoys watching the stunned faces of her opponents!
FireFlitt in entranced by flame and loves to watch its sparkleing beauty. She will sometimes set off small fires and watch them burn. Her personal fire burns purple, but will turn normal colors as soon as it hits something flammable.
Being FreeThis somewhat goes with her love of nature. She enjoys an open habitat that will allow her easy acess to the sky or large open area.
WaterfallsGuess what Flitt's favorite form of water is? The waterfall! She enjoys to fly in the spray and does not fear getting her feathers wet.
Purple, Blue and GoldPurple, blue and gold are her favorite colors. That is not just because those are the colors of her feathers, but it is bacause she enjoys the way they look together.
Shiny ThingsThe best way to get her attention is to use something shiny, may it be a simple coin or an elaborite gold watch. She collects these items, much like a Magpie, and keeps them in her nest.
ParakeetsOutside of Hummingbirds and Hummingbird-Dragons, her favorite bird is the parakeet. She enjoys talking to the chatty little birds and even racing them. Other Hummingbird-Dragons find her wierd in that way.
ButterfliesFlitt loves butterflies. Their elaborite colors make her happy, and she loves the different designs on their wings. Her favorite are blue butterflies. They are the only bug she will not eat [or try to eat].
Dislikes: Small SpacesSmall Spaces are a fear of Flitt's. They go against much of her personality and every time she sees a cage or other small space she will do her best to stay far away from it. She has a form of
Claustrophobia.
CitiesFlitt hates cities, almost as much as she hates small spaces. She doesn't like how there are lots of people and few trees.
HumansFlitt dislikes humans. She thinks they are slow and careless, crushing creatures like ants under their huge feet. She also hates how they locked her up when she was younger.
Birds of PreyFlitt doesn't like birds of prey. Mainly because they will eat other birds and have tallons like steel. She stays away from them at all costs. She dislikes Peregrine Falcons the most because they are extremely good at quick sneak attacks and they enjoy mocking her.
Too Hot or Too ColdFlitt doesn't like it when the weather is too hot or too cold, although she does prefer cold weather as she can start a fire to warm up.
AntsShe dislikes ants because they are hard to eat and have low nutritional value per ant, but their bites hurt. She has no real protection against ants and really hates it when they get on her face.
NetsFlitt hates it when people try to catch her in a butterfly net. It annoys her a LOT.
Venus FlytrapsFlitt finds venus flytraps annoying. One of them had bit her tail when she was drinking nectar from its flowers.
History/Background: Flitt has not lived in the forest all her life. When she hatched it was in a hollow in the trunk of a tree. Her parents were two Hummingbird-Dragons, her father was blue in color and her mother was purple. They almost spoiled her, giving her only the best bugs, plants, and flowers to eat. She started out eating worms and berries, then moved on to learn how to drink from a flower. She learned to speak in the light, sweet tones of the Hummingbird-Dragons and progressed incredibly fast. Her parents were overjoyed when she breathed her first flame at only two months. At five months Flitt was ready to leave the nest. Her parents refused, saying it was natural that every Hummingbird-Dragon stays with his or her parents for one year after it hatches. Flitt didn't like this. She spent most of her time out of the hollow where she made friends with a parakeet named Sky. Sky enjoyed Flitt's company, and her his. They enjoyed playing pranks on the neighboring sparrows and watching things burn. That was when Flitt's obsession with fire was kindled. She would collect different objects and see if they burned and how they would burn. She made notes of this in her mind. But fire wasn't the only thing she liked. She also liked shiny things. She would collect shiny things from all over, storing them in her parents' hollow. They didn't like this behavior, and usually took the shiny things away, only to have them brought back a few days later. Flitt was somewhat scientific in her observations about the world around her. She studied butterflies, flowers, and other birds. Sky was somewhat freaked out when Flitt asked if she could study him. At ten months of age, Flitt was having a good life. Sadly, Sky had grown older and said he must find his own mate and raise a family. That made Flitt very sad and she spent the days alone. However, she managed to get somewhat over that, but Sky is still in the back of her mind.
If you asked Flitt about the most important parts of her history, she would probably respond:
"When I first saw fire, when I met Sky, and when I was caught"
And if you asked her to talk about them, she would probably say:
Well, when I was very young I breathed my first fire. I was scared at first, you know, you would be if a large burst of flame came from your beak. I would sometimes let out a birst of flame out of bordom or surprise after then, but me true facination with fire came when I met sky.
When I met Sky, I was looking for a shiny ticking thing that has somehow fell out of my parents' hollow, allong with my other shiny things. I was looking around and saw something shiny on the ground. So I flew closer to observe. It was not the shiny ticking thing, but instead one of those small shiny round silver things. I was about to grab it in my talons, when another bird snatched it from right under my beak. I chased him for a while, recovering and losing the shiny thing, until we were too tired to go on. He landed on the ground and I followed, my heart racing and out of breath. "Give... me... my... shiny... thing... back." I said between gasps. "No." He said "It's... mine." So I walked up and took the shiny thing from him. We fought for a while, but fell down fatigued. "You know what?" I said "I have some berries that are fresh and cool. Do you want some." "Sure." He said. And that was how our friendship began.
Back to the subject of fire, my facination was fuled by Sky. Soon after he learned I could breath fire, he asked me to do it. I did and caught a nearby leaf on fire. I jumped back. "How can a leaf breath fire?" Asked Sky. "No." I said "I made the leaf burn." Sky leaned closer. "It is so beautiful. It seems alive." I looked at it, astonished. I had never noticed the beauty of fire before. "Let's see what else burns." I said "I want to see what fire does." So Sky went off and returned with a berry, small stick, a blade of grass, and a brown shiny round thing. He had to drop some of the things from his tallons so he could land. I tried to set all the things on fire. It seemed some of the things took more fire to start burning, and the round shiny thing just got hot. Me and sky spent a long time together. Then I noticed him starting to change. It seemes Parakeets mature faster then Hummingbird-Dragons do. Sky spent more and more time alone, and he started visiting me fewer and fewer times. After a while he didn't come back. So I headed to his hollow and asked him wahat was wrong. He told me he was older now and that he wanted to settle down and rase a family. He told me I was too young, even though in actual time he was younger then me. It upset me, you know.
But, I should move on now. About me getting captured: One day I was looking for shiny things, as normal. I was going to see if shiny things would burn if you used enough fire. So I was checking the grass to see if there was a telltale glint. I saw one, and spirled down. This shiny thing was hidden in the grass. It was very large. I don't think I could melt if if I tried. Inside was a berry attached to a stick, sitting right next to a cup of sweet-smelling water. My stomich rumbled. Well, if I ate the food it would make it easier for me to expiriment on the shiny thing. So I went inside. Nothing happened until I reached the stick. I started to nibble on the berry, but it tasted too good. I pulled it off, and the stick did too. The large flap at the front of the shiny thing slammed shut with a definite clammer. I tried to get out. I tried pushing the thing, burning the thing, even trying to move the thing. But it seemed to be made simply for catching Hummingbird-Dragons. I was scared. The walls seemed to close in. Then a large creature came to grab the object. He lifted it with ease and I felt terror as I was being moved into the mouth of a larger shiny creature. The normal creature put the object, and me, into the shiny creature. I was even more scared. I was sick. The object was getting closer around me. Well, after a time the terror movement stopped and the shiny creature opened its mouth. The normal creature pulled the object out of the shiny creature. This place was not like home. There were no trees, there was a sky, but it was different. I tried one last chance to excape. I used all my will to heat the top of the object and the creature screamed, dropping it. The flap opened and I flew out. Excape!
Art: Paper art with Color <-- I was having trouble with my scanner and I couldn't find the exact colors, so it is a little off.

Other: Can I make a species for the Hummingbird-Dragon? That would be so cool!
This will probably be my finished form, but I might add more later (art and such).
